Mr. President and denatoln, Can it bo said tint the pos.

which he had argued with all hir power hie coestitution al

Indeed, will you hear an argument as a Senate of the
United States, a majority - of whom voted for that very
bill, upon its constinit toe bitty In the trial of an executive
tollicer for wiif ally violating it beforeit had been doubted
by any court ?
Bearing upon this question, however. it may be said
that the Proident re roved Mr. etareon for the very pur
pose of testing the constitutionality of !hie law before tho
(Nauru. and the (peahen is asked, will you condemn him
as fora crime for so doing? if this pies were a true one,
it outfit not to avail; but it is a subterfuge. We will
',how you that he has taken no step to submit the quo.
lion to any court. -,lthough more than a year has elapsed
since the paw ge of the act. •
(lathe contrary, t President has recognized its valid
ity and acted upon it in every department of the Govern
ment. save iu the War Department, and there. except in
regard to the head thereof solely. We shall show y he
forig ago canoed all the forms of commissions and official
bonds of all the civil officers of the Government to be -
altered to conies in to its requirement. Indeed, the fact
*will not be denied—nay.i 3m in the very case of Mt. Stanton

asked this very Senate, before whom he

patione of otherpowers, and his disregard of other Item,
tie boldly avows in his letter to tko General of the army
that he intendp to dle,egard its provisions, and summons
the commander -of .the troops of this department to ate

The Preelidebt knew, or ought to have known; hie offfi

Mr. Stanton, instead of his defiant menage to the Senate
on theitat of February, informing them of the romp cal,
but not suggesting this purpose. which is thus shown to be
an afterthought, he would have said in substance: 'Den.

Article abate charg , s that Major General Emory being
in columned of the le ilitary Deuartment of Washington,
the President - celled him before hini, and instructed him
that the act of march 2. 1867, ss bleb provides that all or
ders from the Preeident shall be issued through the
General of the army.. was unconstitutional and (neon
eisteht with his commierdou, with intent to induce Emory
to take orders (greedy froni himself, and thus hinder rho
execution of the civil tenure act, and to prevent Ms.
Stanton from holding his office of Secretary of War.
If the transaction set forthin this article stood alone we
might well admit that doubts might arise as to the suf.
ficien . cy of the proof. But the surroundings are so pointed
and erg,niticaut es to leave no doubt In the mind of an ism
partial man as re the interests and purposes of the Presi
dent. No one would say that the President might not
- properly send to the col/inlander of this department to
mike inquiry as to the disposition of his forces, but the
question is, with what intent and purpose did the Pres!.
dent send for Genes al Emory at the time he did Y
Time titre is an important element of the act. Congress
had peed an act in March. 1867, restraining the Fred
dent from issuing military eiders save through the
General of the army. The President had protested
against that act. On the 12th of August he had at
tempted to get POOPPI34OII of the War Unice by 'the re.
/naval of the ineun.btrat, but could only do so by ap.
pointing the General of the army thereto. Failing
In Lis attempt to get fell posses..lon of the office through
the Senate, he uad determined, as ho admits, to
remove Stanton at ell hazards, and endeavored to
prevail on the General to aid him in HO doing, He de
clines. For that, the respondent quarr.ls with him, de
trounces him in the uevespape. s, and accuses him of bad
faith anduntruthf eines*. Thereupon. asserting his pre
rogatives as commander herb ief, he creates a Lew mili
tary department of the Atlantic. He attempts to bribe
Lieutenent.Gener al r benzin to take command of It by
promotion to the rank of General by brevet, trusting that
his military services would compel the Senate to coutirm
.
If the respondent can get a General by brevet appointed.
he can then, by simple o. der. put hire on duty according
to his brevet rank, and thus have a General. of Alto army
in command at Washington, through whom he can trans.
/nit his orders and comply with the act which be did not
dere transfuses., an he had approved it, and get rid of the
hated General Grant. Sherman spurned the bribe. The
reepocident. not discouraged. appolutod Maior•General
George IL 'Thomas to the Beare brevet rank, but Thomas
declined. •
%bat stimulated the ardor of the President just at that
time, almost three years atter the war closed, but just
after the ele.Late had to instated Stanton, to reward mili
tary et rvice by the appointment of generals by brevet?
Why did his zeal of promotion take that form and no
other? There were many other meritorious °Means of
lower rank desirous of promotion. the purpose
is evident to every tlut.king mind. He had
determined to set aside Grant, with whom he
had quarrelled, either . by. force or fraud,
either in conformity with chin spite of the act of Con•
*Orand coetrol tiro military power of the country. On
bit of February (for all these events cluster nearly
about the same point of time) he appoints Lorenzo
Thomas Secretary of War and orders Stanton out of
office; Stanton referes to go; Thomas le about the
streets declaring that he will put him out by force--"kick
him out"—'lie has c smart his master's' word.
VD t se evenine,of the list a resolution looking to hn
peaehenent is offered In the House.
The Preddent, on the nun nine of the 22d, "as early as
practicable." is seized with a sudden desire to know how
many troops, there were In Washington. What for, just
then? Was that all ho wanted to know? If so, his
AdjutentGeneral could have given him the official morn
ing report, which would have shown the condition and
etetien of every man, nut that wee not aIL Ile directs the
candor o the department to come as ear.y aa practi
cable. Why tide caste to learn the number of troops 1'
()beery, the order does not go theme) Gen. Grant as by
law it ought to have doum General emory,not knowing
hat is wanted. of course obeyed the order as soon sta pew
, ethic-. 7 he President asked him if he remembered the
conversation which he had with him when he drat look
commend of the departures/toss to the strength of the,
garrison at Washington. and the general Mopes Gen of
emote In the department. Emory replied that "he did
dfreirmtly;" that was last September.
Theo, after explaining to 61m fully as to all the
changes, the President staked -tor recent changes of
boom. Emory denied they could have been Suede with.
out the older soing through him, and then, with soldierly
frankeere (as he evideutty suspected what the President
was after), said by law no order could come to him save
through the General of the army. and that had been ap,
proved by the President, and p. oraulgated in gene.
rat order No. 17. The President wished to see
it. It was produced. General s mory say& "Mr.
President. I will take it as a great favor if you
will permit me to call your attention to this
order or act." Why a favor to Emory? Because he
feared that be was to be called upon by the President to
4 s o something in contravention of that law. The . Prod.
dent read head eald, "Thhs is not la accordance with the
Cone titution of the United Ststes, which' makes me Coin.
mosseerdn.thief of the army and no, y, or with the lam
gunge of /out commiselon." Emory then said, "That is
nota sniffer for the °Meets to determine. T..ere was the
order t to its, &Pero , . ed by him, and we were all go.
yeivod dry order.'
Head "Ain Ito understand , then , that the President
of the Up States cannot give an melee but through
General rant." Gen. Emory then made the President a
shed speech, telling him that the officers of the army bad
been consultle g lawyers on the subject, Reverdy Joh a4OO
and Robert J. Walker, and were advised they woro bound
to obey that order. Said he, "1 thank it nicht to tell you
the army aro a unit On thin subject." After a short

law was Vl holly unconstitutional, and. in effect took a vay

Suet' a law as he had declared h. we Wei resist? De you
not believe that if General Emory had yielded in the least
to lie suggestions the President would have offered him
pre motion to and hint to his purposes, as he did Sherman
and '1 homes?
I raj remember that this Is not the case of ono gentle
man conversing with another on moot questions of I.tw;
but it is the President, the Commandenin-chief "the
fountain of all honor and the source of all power" in the
eye of a military officer, teaching that officer to disobey
a law which he himself has determined is void, with tie
power to promote that officer if he finds him an apt pupil.
Is it not :thigh misdemeanor for the President to assume
to instinct the officers of the army that the laws of Con.
gress are not to be obeyed?
Article 18 alleges thatintendiag to sot aside the rightful
authority and powers e f Congress, and to bring into dis
grace and contempt the Congr.ss of the United States,
anti to destroy confidence in and to excite 011111 M
against Congress and its laws, he, Andrew
Jobnson„ President of the United States. made divers
speeches set sat therein. whereby he brought the office
of President into contempt. ridicul- and disgrace.
To sustain these charges there will be put in evidence
tho ahort-hand notes of the reporters in each instance
who took these speeches, or examined the sworn copies
thereof, and in one instance where the speech was exam.
ined and corrected by the private secretary of the Presi
dent himself.
To the charges of this article the respondent answers
that a convention of delegates (whom, he does not say) sat
In Philadelphia for certain political purposes mentimed,
and appointed a committee to wait upon the respondent,
as Preeldent of the United States ;th they were received,
and their chairman, lion. Ileverdy Johnson, then and
now a ' , elicitor of the United States, addressed the reapom
d eet in a speech, a copy of which the respondent believes
is from a substantially correct-report, is made u part of
the answer; that the respondent made a reply to the ad
dreee of the committee. While, however, he gives us iu
his answer a copy of the speech made to him by Mr. Rev
erey Johnson, taken from a newt paper, he wholly omits
to give us set authorized version of his own speech, about
!ich he may be supposed to know quite as much, and
thus save us sehte testimony.g lie does not admit that
the extracts from his speech In the article are correct,nor
does he deny that they are so.
in rewind to the speech at Cleveland, he again does not
admit that the extracts correctly or Maly present his
eptech; but again, he does not deny that it do as so far as
the erne he act out.
As to the speech et St. Louis, he does not deny that he
made it; says only that he does not admit it, and rAutree,
in retch case, that the whole speech shall be proved. In
that case, I be. leave to assure him and the Senate that
his vs lams shall be gratified in their fullest fraction. The
Semite shall see the performance, so far as is in the power
to Ittelogi aph the scene by evidence, en all those occa
41011P. and shall hear every materiel word that he said.
ilis dt fent e. however, to the at time is th at "be felt him
eelf in duty hound to expro.s opinions of and concerning
the public character, conduct, viesvo, purposes motives,
and tendencies of all men engaged in the public service,
as Is ell in Congress as otherwise," "and that for enythtng
he may have said on either of thee- occa•ione he is justi
fied tinder the constitutionel right of freedom of opinion
and freedom of epoeth, and is net subject to greater in•
quisition, impeachment, or inculpation in any manner or
he us w hattioever." lie denies, however, that by reason
of any matter in veld ariele or its specification alleged he
Lee Sint or done anything indecent or unbecoming in the
(Alb f Magistrate of the United States, or tending to bring
hi:. high ofitea into contempt, ridicule, or disgrace.
'llie iseue , then, finally. is this: That those utterances
of his, in the manner and form in which they are alleged
to have been made, andunder the circumstances and at
the time they were made, ate decent and becoming the
' President of the United etates, and do not tend to bring
the office into ridicule and dlegrace
e accept the issues. They are two:
Firvit-1 list he has the right to gay what he did of Con
gress in the exe. Glee of freedom of speech; and. second,
that or hat he die say in those speeches was a highly gen
tlemanlike and proper performance in a citizen, and still
more becoming in e President of the United otates.
Let us first consider the graver matter of the assertion
of the right to cast contumely upon Compress; to de
nounce it as a "body hanging on the verge of the Govern
nit tt;" 'pretending to be a Congress wilen in fact it was
mint a Congress;" "a Congraea pretending to be for the
Ilion when its every step and act tended to perpetuate
disunion, and make a disruption of tho States inevita
ble:" "a Congress In a minority assuming to exercise
power whichot allowed to be consummated, would re
sult in despotism and monarchy itself," . Congress
a Inch had done everything to prevent the union of the
States:" "a Congress factious and domineering ;" "a
Radical Congress, which gave oriel° to another rebel
lion;" "a Congress upon whose skirts was every drop of
blood that was shed In the New Orleans riots."
You will find theeo denunciations had a deeper mean
ing than mere expressions of opinion. It may be taken
at en axiom in the alibi, s of nations that no usurper has
ever eeizsd upon the Legislature of his country until ho
has famillaaized the people with the
_possibility of so
di log by vituperating and decrying it. Denunciatory at
tack's upon the Legislature have always pale ded. slan
derous abuse of the individuals composing it has al WaYll
nes °lnputted a seizure lay a despot of the legislative
prove' of a county.
Two memorable examples in modern history will spring
to the recollection of every man. Before cromwell drove
out by the bayonet the Parliament of England, he and
his partisans had denounced it, derided it, decried it, and
defamed it, and thus brought it into rdicule and con
tempt. lie vilified it with the came name, which, it is a
lieulficant fact, the partisans of Johnson, by a concerted
cry, applied to the Congress of tne United State. when he
commenced his memorable• pilgrimage and crusade
against it. It is a still more significant fact that the j esti
beation made by Cromwe 1 aid by Johnson for setting
aside the authority of Parliament and Congress, reapec
tiv ely, was precisely the same, to wit: thst th ey were
elected by part of the people only.
N'S hen Cromwell. by his holdiers, finally entered the hull
of l'arliainent to disperse its members. he attempted to
cover the enormity of his usurpation by denouncing this
men pet venally as a libertine, that as a drunkard another
as a betrayer of the liberties of the people. Johnson
started out on t recisely the earno course, but, forgetting
the parallel too early, he proclaims this patriot an ass as.
Fin ; teat stateeman a traitor; threatens to hang that man
ahem the people delight to honor, and breathes out
"threateninge and slaughter" against this man whose
cervices in toe cause of human freedom nave made his
name a household word wherever the language is spoken.
' here ix, however, an appreciable difference between
Cromwell and Johnson, and there is a like differeuee in
the rehulto accon.plisheo by each.
W. hen Bonaparte extinguished the Legislature of
France. he waited until through his press and lila par.
tisane, and by his own denunciations, ho brought its au.
tholity into disgrace and contempt; and when tinnily, he
drove the council of the nation from their chamber. like
CD MU ell. be justified hitneelf by patented abuse of the
budividuels themselves as they pas ed by hint
That the attempt of Andrew Johnson to overthrow
Congrere has I ailed, is because of the want of ability and
power, not of malignity and will.
e are too apt to overlook the danger that may come
from words.
"We two inclined to say that is only talk—wait till some
act is done, and then it will be time to move. But words
im.y be. and sometimes are, things—living, burning things
th,kt set a Is odd on lire."
As a most notable instance of the power of words, look
et the inception of the reheLlien through which we have
it 4;40 , 0. Fora quarter of a century the nation took
Ito notice of the talk of dlst.nion and secession which was
beard in Congress and on the "stump," until in the South
a generation was taught them by word, and the
a old suddenly. %burst forth into terrible; awful.

the "stump," as was done in 1882 by Congress. then out
tons and brothers, now dead in battle, or starred in prh
sun hod been alive and happy, and a peacefui solution
of the question of olavery had been found.
Does any one doubt that if the intentions of the respond
ent could have been carried out, and his denunciations
had weakened the Congress in the affections of tho pee.
Fla so that those who had in the North sympathized with
the rebellion could have elected such a minority even of
the representatives to Congress as, together with those
sent up front the governments organized by Johnson in
the rebellious, states, should have formed majority of
both or either house of Congress, that the President would
have recognized ouch body as the legitimate Congress,
and attempted to carry out its decrees by the aid of the
army and navy aid the Treasury of the United States,
over a filch he now claims such unheard-of and 11-
Suitable powers, and thus lighted the torch of civil

In all earnestness, Senators, I call each one of you upon

people had not been, as they ever have been, true and
loyal te their Coverers and themselves, such would not
have been the result of these usurpations of power in the

Is it, indeed, to be seriously argued here that there is a
constitutional right in the Preeldent,of the United litotes,
who, during his Whole' life can never lay aside his of fi cial
charade', to denounce, malign, abuse, ridicule and con
teinn, openly and publicly, the Congress of the United
Btatee—pi co-ordinate branch of the Government? •
It cachet fail to be observed that the President (shall I
dare to Bay his counsel, or aro they compelled by the exi
gencies of their defame?) have deceived themselves as to
the gravamen of the charge In this article. It does not
raise the question of freedom of epefich,. but of propriety

If you wilt take up the riot at New , Orleans, and trace

"If you take up the riot at New Orleans, and take it

Thin as we might expect was received by the mob.
composed. doubtless, in large part of unrepentant rehab,
with great cheering and cries of "Bully." It was "bully"
for them to learn on toe authority at the President of the

and replies to it, "Now, my countrymen, it is very easy
to indulge in epithets; it is very easy to call a man
Judas, and cry out traitor • but when hate called upon to
give arguments and facts he is very often found want
leg."
What were the the "facts that were found wanting,"
which in the mind of the President prevented him from
leeks a Judas Iscariot? We shall state the wanting facts
in his own language on this occasion. when he is exerci
hi+ his hish coned ational prerogative:
"Judas Iscariot! Judas ! There was a Judas once— one
of the twelve Apostles. lib, yes ! the twelve Apo ties had
a ( lutist [A voice—'and a Aloses teo'—great laughter.]
The twelve Apostles had a Christ, and he never could
have had a Judas unless he had had the twave Apostles.

I have plated the Judas with? Was it Thad Steven.?
Was it `Pendell Phillips Y Was it Cha , les Sumner?"
11 it were not that the blasphemy sheet a JFI, we should
gather from all this that it dwelt in the mmd of the Presh
dent of tlte United Mtatea that the only reason why he
was not a Judas was that he bad not boon able to find a
Christ towards whom to play the.ludas.
it would appear that this "opinion," given in pursuance
at his constitutional obligation, was received with cheers
and hisses. Whether the cheers were that certain paid.
otic persons named by him might be hanged, or the hiss
ing was because of the inability of the President to play
the part of Judas, for the ruasona before stated, I um
sorry to say the evidence will not inform us.
Ills answer makes the President say that i .1s hie "duty
to express opinions cot cerning the public characters, and
the conduct, views, purposes, objects, motives, and ten
dencies of all men engaged in the public service."
Now, the chsraeter, motives, tendencies, purpose%

seemed to desire to have some others, whose nsmes he

At the risk of being almost offensivo,but protesting that
if so it was not my fa ult,but that of the person whose acts
isni describing, lot me but fatuity picture to you the
scene at Cleveland and St. Louis.
It is evening; the President of the United States, on n
journey to do homage at the tomb of nu illustrious states
nom, eccompaided by the heads of the army and env."
and ecretary of State, has arrived in the giant central
city of the continent. lie has been welcomed b. civic
authorities. lie has been escorted by a procession of the
v, lent charitable societies, and citizens ant sobliers,
to his hotel. lie has ret u rned thanks in answer to the
address of the mayor to the citizens who have received
hire. 'I he hospitality of the city Tins provided a Mum° 1
for him and his suite, when his ie again expected to ad.
dress the chosen mete of the city. where nil things may
be tonducten in decency and in eider.
Wentz he was resting, as ono would have supposed ho
would have to do. from the fatigues of the day, a noisy
es owd of men and boys, %milted and unwashed, drunk
and sober. black and whits, tuisembled in the street. who
made night I Woes by their bawling; quitting the draw
ing.room without the advice of hi, frisnde. the President
of the United Staten rushed mirth onto the balcony of tho
hotel to address what proves to have been a moo. and
this he calls in his answer a'"fit occaelon"\on which ho
has hold to the high dpty of expressing opinions of and
con. ruing the legislation of Congress, proposed or cont.
pleted. in respect of its wisdom. expediency, justice.
worthiness, °ejecta, purposes, and public and political
motives nod tendencies.
Observe now, upon this Sit occasion, like in all respects
to that at Cleveland, when the President is called 'won
by the eonntitt Hotta requirements of his Wilco to explain
the evident' e, expediency, Justice, worthiness. objects.
purposes and tendencies of the acts of Congress," what ho
says, atd the manner in which he says it. !toes ho speak
with the gravity of a Marshall when expounding consti
tutional law? Does he use tne polished sentences of a Wirt?
Or. failing in these; which m Ay be his misfortuue, does he
in plain, homely words oi truth and soberness, endeavor
to instruct the men and youth before him in their duty t
obey the laws and to reverence their rulers, and to prize
their inetitations of government? Although ho may have
been mistaken in the aptness of the occasion for suck di
dactic instructions, still good teaching is never thrown
away. lie shows, however, by his language, as he had
shown at Cl. veland, that he had meant to adapt himself
to the occasion. He has baldly opened hie mouth, an we
shall show you. when some one in the crowd cries, "Bois
about our British subjects?
The Chief Executive, supported by his Secretary of
State, so that all the foreign relations and diplomatic ser
vices were fully represented, with a dignity that not oven
hie counsel can appreciate, and with an amenity which
must have delighted Downing street, answers: 'sWe, will
attend to John Bull after &wit - no e s° far , as that eon‘
cerned." Tht mob, ungrateful, receive this bit of expres
sion of opinion upon the justice, worthiness, objects, put.
times and public and political motives and tendencies of
our relations at ith the kingclunt of Ureat Britain, as they
fell from the honored lips of the Preside', tof the United
States, with laughter, and the more unthinking with
chews.
Having thus disposed of our diplomatic relations with
the first naval and touthwrcial nation on earth, the Pre
sident next proceeds to Instruct in the manner aforesaid
and for the purposes aforesaid this Imlay mob, on the
subject of the riot,,hron which his aniwer mays: "It is the
err stitutional duty of the President to express opinion for
the tuposes aforesaid." A voice calls out "Now Orleans!
go on!"Atter a graceful exordium, the President ex

tr,on the first reading of the articles of imposchmenL

bceator, wily are these acts of the President only pre
sented t y the house, when history Intones us that others
equally dsngerous to the liberties of the people, if not
n,re so; and others of equal usurpation of powers, if not
gat:stet, are passed aY silence?
10 such possible inquiry we reply that the acts sot oat
in the S st eight 'ankles are but the culmination of a
settee of wiongs, smalfeasancts and usurpation cow
milled by the retpoudent, and therefore need to be exit
