This is the only nation to whom the fame pri vilege has ever been R«mtcd, or who is per mitted to have a public character there ; and which is the reason the above gentleman, although ftiffered for these two yettrs past to exercise the power, has not before been re cbgnized in an official character. —■««»: <2S>: ■»- The fyllnving proces verbal®, on a proposition •made in Congress, f r expelling the cour- teous Lyon, merit to be rescued firtfm the ■oblivious matv .of dajpoolc, if it ~u<tre., s j for the curiositj'of Citi-zen Polyphemus's defence. CONGR E S S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, 6 n the expulsion of Lyon. Thurs»ay, February.2l. .... Mr. Bayard cajlcd up, for cor, lide rati 0:1. the following resolution, ■which he had .laid upon the table a day or two ago Day*. " Resolved, That Matthew Lyon, a mem ber of this house, having been convicted oj being a notorious and seditious person, tud of a deprived mind, and wicked and diaboli cal disposition, and of wickedly, deceitfully and maliciously contriving to defame the go vernment of the United States, and of hav ing with ir.tent and design to defame the go vernment of the United States, and John Adams, the President of th* United States, and to. bring the said government and Presi dent into contempt and disrepute, and with intent and design to excite against the said government and President the hatred *f the good people of the United States, and to stir up se_dition in the United States, wickedly, knowingly, and maliciously written and pub lished certain scandalous, and sedititus writ- ings or libels, be therefore expelltd this bouse." The resolution having been'read, Mr. B. presented to the houie a cepy of the record of Lyoii's trial, which was read by the clcrk after which, . Mr. Bayard observed, it would not be ne ceffay to trouble the house with jnany obser vations in support of this resolution. The facts upon whit!i the refoluti#n is founded, are proved to be incontrovertably true, by the record which had just. been read. The only question, therefore, before the house was, as to the consequence of the ftift, or whether the crime of which the member in question had been csnvifted, Is a fufficient cauie for expulsion. Mr. B. referred the house to that clause of the constitution which gives the house the power of expulsion. The power, said he, is unlimited. The house has a power to expel a member for any crime or for any cause, which, in their discretion, they conceive has rendered him unfit to re main , a member of that body. Perhaps j tome gentlemen may think, that it is impro per for the house to take notice of a its done by its members out of the house, but Ht be lieved the fallacy of such a dodtrme would be easily ieen. It was certainly possible, and might, therefore, be imagined, that a mem ber of this house might be guilty of murder, treason, perjury, or other infamous crime, and would it be alYerted, that a man defiled by crimes of this kind, ought to be fuffered to reprelent a portion of the people of the United States in the National Legiflattire ? He trusted, that no gentleman, who valued reputation, would contend for such a point. 1 he question, then, is, said Mr. B. whe ther the aft in question, is an aft of that de scription, the commission of which ought to induce the hoafe to expel theenvifted mem ber. In h.s opinion, the crime was „f the firft political magnitude. A crime not only affefting the members of this house, but the whole community, as its confrquenccs go to the subversion of thf government. Tbis government, said Mr. B. depends'fyr its existence upon the good will of the people. That goodwill is maintained by their good opinion. But kow is that good opinion to be preserved, if wicked and unprincipled men ; men of inordinate and defpernte am bition, are allowed to state facts to tie peo ple which are not true, which they know at the time to be falfe, and which are (Uted with the criminal intention of bringing the government into disrepute amongst tlie pec pie. This was fa'fefy and de< ?i t-fulJy stealing the public opinion ; it was a felony of the worst and most dangerous nature. The mem ber from Vermont has been convi&ed of doing this, with a view of exciting the ha tred cf the people against the Vrefident and Senate, and cf Sirring up ("edition in thf country. 1 his, in his opinion, was a crime of the gre?.teft magnitude, (ince it ii all im portant tnat the channel by which informa tion is conveyed to the people, should.be pre feived as pure as possible ; tor, if men are trip. Philadelphia, April 4. 16/3 9/9 14/4 *3 percent. allowed to state things as fafts, which the know to be faiic, what will be the conse quence ? However upright the government, or however correift tlie firft magistrate irrty be, the hatred of the peopk maybe excited against them by means /if falfe information ; and when a foreign foe, or domcflie traitors, join the standard of rebellion, the.bpft confti tutiGn and government .may'be'fubverted. Therefore, that ■ falfehood which deprives men of the means of forming a true judg ment of public affairs, in this,country, where the government isele&ive, is .a criitie of the fir ft magnitude. The member from Vermont has been convifted under aggravated cir cumstances. Hfc \\ as on this floor when-the law against which he has offended was pa fled. He, therefore, v. as well acquainted w h the law ; yet, with this knowledro, he l,a» ly, scandalously and maliciously defamed the President of the United States, with a view of exciting hatred and stirring lip {'edition. These fafls are recorded and incontroverti ble ; and he conceived it would be out oi or der to call them in question. Mr. B. concluded, with appealing to the candor and honor which he expected to find in the house, whether a member, the malice of whole heart, and the falfehood of whefe pen, stood recorded; whe had_, from the word and basest motives, violated a law which he had himfelf affifled to make, was fit to hold a feat in that house ? Will any one fay, that a man who does not keep the laws, ought to be allowed to make them ? Cer- \ taiuly, nothing was more repugnant to priu- I cipal and propriety ; and as he conceived the member from Vermont was' notonouily and exemplary guilty in this refpetft, an obliga tion re-fted dir the house to expel him. Mr. B. said, he brought forward this relolution from a fenie only of public duty, from a strong feci in:-; for national character. He knew but little, aind (hould be happy if it were lei's, of the member, who was the ob ject of it. He cou.ld not be fuipe&ed cf having bees induced to'theftephe had taken by the miserable gratification of offering vio lence o the feelings of the member. Hebe lieved, that nothing he had said, ncr any thing which could be said, would avrikcn a fmgle teelirrg. His of ano- flier :ir:d excited in another manner. Mr. B. Conceived lie had done his duty, and if the house refuted to purify i tie If by the expulfioo of the 'member, it was a fatisfac tion to him to reflect, that it would appear to tbe world that he had no fiare in the dis grace. Mr. Nicholas had "hoped, that the gen-' tleman from Delaware Would have fliewn to the house fomethingiuthis trfliifaftionj which made the character of the member alluded to, so infamous as to have rendered him un fit to hold a feat in this house. He ftiould have thought, that after a member of this house had fufftrcd so severely as the member from Vermont has fuffered by fine and im prisonment, it would have been thought ne cessary to go into a conlideration of the na ture »f the offence of which he is said to have been guilty, and to have fliEwn that the guilt attaching to hitn "was such as to defifej the chara&ers of the reft bf to i lit with him before a vote of expulsion was taken. Indeed Mr. N. had supposed that there had jpeen bi>t one opinion on this fub .jett, and that no attempt wou!9~ have been made to have inflicted a second puniflunent The gentleman from Delaware, Mr..N. said had confirred hinifelf in his declaration about this offence, to its being an offence against one of the laws-os the United States, with out flawing the house what the offence was, or wilhing them to form a judgment upon it. Mr. N. was surprised at this second pro secution ; bccaufe, if gentlemen will speak candidly according to the opinions which they formerly delivered in junification of the law, they will acknowledge, thai the whole of the charges brought against the member from Vermont, ought not to have been civ quired into under the iVdition law , fiatce two of the counts contained in the indict ment are mere matters of opinion,nctcontain inging the least suggestion of fadt"; and the third rests so much on matter of opinion, that it is impossible, according to a found confirmation of the law, for any guilt to be incurred by the ait. * Mr. N. wished the house to attend to the nature cf the charges exhibited against tl>e member from Vermont •; and to lay whether they are not of such a nature as to render it difficult to fay, whether they are well found ed, then they are innocent. Ip the record from which he had copied the charges, there are three counts ; two of them are founded ■on extracts taken from a letter, called Bar low's Letter ; the third, is for sentiments contained in a letter of the member's own writing'. The two firft turn on mere mat ters of opinion. Mr. N. read the counts as follows : ' The mifunderflanding between the two governments has become extremely farm ing, confidence is completely dt-flroyed, iiiif tvufls, jealousy and a disposition to a wrong attribution of motives are so apparent as .to require the utmofl caution ineverv word and action, that are to come from your execu tive, I mean if your obje&is to avoid hof tiUties. Had this truth been underflood with you before the recal of Monroe, before the coming and second coming of Pincknev, bad it guided the pens thiit wrote the bullying speech of your President, and flupid answer of your Senate at the opening of Congress in November last, I should probabjy have had no occation to address you this letter ; but we find him borrowing the language of Great-Britain, and telling the world, that although he should fucceed.ia treating with the French, there was 110 dependence to be placed 011 any of their engagements, that (their religion and morality were at an eld, that they had turned pirates and plunderers ; and it would be to be perpetually armed again f, them, though you are at peace. We wondereci that the answer of both Uoufes had not been an order to fend hlmto a mad house. Instead ol have echo ed the speech with more servility than ever George tbe third experienced from either J)oufe of parliament.

He tru lied gentleman could not seriously think so For, since if the fail were true, and th< member from Vermont had adduced (ash( believed he might have done) two or ti ret inltances of men being turned out «f offici merely on account of their political opinioni flill the jury might have a(l<ed, " how de you know that the men displaced poifeffet them This, though true, could net bi proved, therefore the member frcm Vermont could not have availed himfelf of the advan tage held out by the law. Gentlemen raa) fay this is not necessary, a - tli slaw goes tc many offences, not capable of this proof; fubjeft goes to masiy others. But our lmv is not the farre with the British law; there, though tlu- iibel be true, it is not less a libel v.hich is not the cafe under our law, which is an important diftinftion. It was clear/Mr. N said, that such paits of the counts as vent to insinuate satis inipoffiblc to ieperate them. It could not be said, that the jury were competent to decide upon ihe truth of the cafe. The deciiion of the twelve honed men on a point as faft, is, perhaps, the bed security that :aw be deviled for the iecurity of jurtice ; but if a man is to be convifted, becanfe his opinions and those of a jury are at a variance there is an end to all lecuri y. Men'-, opin ions are as variolic a3 their faces, and the trulh or falfehood of those opinions are not fit for fubje&s for the elecilion of a jury. Upon what ground does the member from Vern ont stand? He is a n prefenta tive of the people; and gentlemen could not shut their eyes a, ainft a notorious fad, *iz. that the conllituents of this member, vith a full knowledge of this prosecution, iave re-elected him; and if the people of Vermont chufe to have a person poffiffing hefe opinions to leprefcut t! em, who hav One Hundred Dollars Reward.
