THE IMPEAc TRIAL. open i n g B r e ach loth tic Defente.e.' Mr. Curtis, one of the counsel for the defence, made the following opening address : litr. Chief Justice and Senators--I am here to epeak tithe SCllate of tho United Statee, sitting in its judi cial capacity as a Court t ot Judicial Impeachment, ore -4140 Over trial Chief Justice of the United Buffett, for theof - the President of the United States. there one or two sentences were entirely in audible.] Inasmeeh as the Constitution requires that there shall be a trial, and as inasmuch as in that trial the oath which each one of you has taken is to administer itrapartial justice according to the Constitution and iiIWS. the only appeal that I can'make here in behalf of the President is an appeal to the conscience and to the season of each judge who sits in this Court on the law and the fact in the case upon its judicial merits on the duties incumbent on that high office. By vir tue of his office, and on his honest endeavor to dis prha gee atchho seo ndeu ti o e f s , tyhuPoe eidietnetn rests hihs a e t a p se t aenndc eI which belongs to a judge for his own salte,'but .which I cannot expect by any efforts of mine to elicit, while I open to yen what that defense is. The honorable managers, through their associate who has addressed you, have informed you that this is not a Court--that whatever may be the character of this body, it is bound by no law. On that subject I shall have some thing hereafter to say. The honorable managers did not tell you, in such terms at least, that there are no articles before you, becetusee statement to that effect would be in substance to say that there are no honor. iable managers before you, inasmuch as the only power , 16 , which the hotiorable managers are clothed by the House of Representatives is an authority to present here at your bar certain articles, and within the limits of them to conduct this prosecution; therefore I shall make no apology for asking your close attention to these articles, in manner and form as they appear prefiented, to ascertain, in the first place, what the `substantial allegations in each of them are, what is to be the legal proof and effect Of these allegations, and what proof is necessary to be adduced in order to sustain them. Here is a section. a part of which appliee to all civil offibers, dB well to those in office, as to those who Jab:gild thereafter he appointed, and the body of thbasection contains a declaration .that every such Officer is, that is if he is now in office, and shall be hereafter appointed to office, entitled to hold until another isappointed and quidiffed in his place. That is in the body of the section, bat out of the body of the section, it is explicitly declared that there is to be excepted aparticular class of officers, as to whom something is otherwise provided, that a different rule into be made for them. Now, the Senate will per ceive that in the body of the .section every officer, as well those holding office as these hereafter to be an pointed included, the language is; every person hold ing civil office to which be has been appointed, by and with the advice and consent of the Sente, and every person who shall be - hereafter appointed is and shall be entitled to hold, &c. If affects the President—it sweeps over all who are in office.. It includes them all by its.terms, as well as those who may hereafter be appointed, but when you come to the proviso, the. first noticeable thing is that that language is not used. It is not thateverySecre -tory of State, of the Treasury, of War, is to hold his office. Ills a rule for the future only,and the question whether any particular Secretary comes within that rule, is a question whether he comes within the gen eral description contained in the proviso.. There is nothing to bring him within the proviso. There is no express declaration, as in the body of the section, that be is and hereafter shall be entitled to hold his office, ae.; nothing to bring him within the body of the proviso, except the description, and the qu •stion is whether the proviso containe, applies to, and includes this case. Now, let us ace if it does : The Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Tress nry,etc „shall hold their offices respectively for and dur ing the term of the President by whom they may have beenappointed and one month thereafter. The first inquiry which arises on this language is this, as to what is meant by "for and daring the term of the President by whom they may have been appointed." Mr. Stanton appears by the construction which has been put in the case by the honorable managers to have been appointed during the first term of President Lincoln, in January, 1862. la this part of the lan guage, "during the term of the President by whom they - may, have been appointed," applicable to Mr. Stanton's case. That depends whether a person ex pounding that law judicially has any right to add to it any other term for which he may afterwards be elected. . - - I shall begin with the first article, not merely be cause the House of Representatives, in arranging these articles, has placed them first in order, but be cause the subject matter in that article is of such a character that it forms the foundation of the eight Bret articles in the series, and enters materially into the body of the remaining eleven. What, then, is the substance of this first article? What are what the lawyers call the gravissinta contained in it. There Is a good deal of verbiage. Ido not mean unnecessary verbiage in the description of the substantial thing set down in that article. Stripped of that it amounts exactly to these things: First, that the order set out in the article for the removal of Mr. Stanton, if exe cuted, would have been a violation of the tenure-of-office act. Second, that it was violation of the tenure-of-office act. Third, that it was an intentional violation of the tenure-of office act. Fourth, That it was a violation of the Constitution of the United States ; and Fifth, That it was by the President intended to be eo, or to draw all these into one .sentence, which I hope may be in telligible and clear enough. I suppose the substance of this first article is that the order for the removal of Mr. Stanton was, and was intended to be, a violation of the tenure-of-office act, and was, and was intended to be, a violation of the Constitution of the United States. There are the allegations which it is necessary for the honorable managers to make out in order to sup port that article. Now there is a question involved here which enters deeply, as I have already intimated, into the first eight articles of this series, and ma terially touches two other, and to that question I desire, in the first instance, to invite the attention of the Court. That question is whether Mr. Stanton's case comes under the tenure-of-office act If it does not; if the true construction and effect of the tenure of-office act, when applied to the facts in this case, include it, then it will be found by honorable Sena ' tors, when they come to examine this and the other articles, that a deep, indisputable and material wound has attempted to be inflicted on the Constitu tion. [The reporter will not vouch for the accuracy of this sentence, on account of the impossibility of hear -1 must ask your attention, therefore, to the question of the consideration and application of the first sec tion of the tenure-of-office act. It is, as Senators know, but dry work, but it requires close and careful attention, and no doubt will receive it. Allow me, in the first place, to read it. "That every person holding any civil office, to which he has been appointed by and with the advice and con sent of the Senate, and every person who shall here after be appointed to any such office, and shall become duly qualified to act therein, is and shall be entitled to hold ouch office until a successor shall have been in like manner appointed and duly qualified, except as herein otherwise provided." Then comes what is otherwise provided: "Provided, That the-Secretaries of State, of the Treasury, of War, of the Navy, and of the Interior, the Postmaster-General, and the Attorney-Genetal. . shall hold their offices respectively for and during the term of the President by whom they may have been appointed, and one month thereafter, subject to removal by and with the advice and Consent of the Senate.". By what authority short of the Legislative power can these words be added to the statute during the term of the President'? Does it mean any other term or terms for which the President may be re 'elected ? I respectfully submit that no such judicial interpretation can be put upon the text. At toe time when this order was issued for the removal of Mr. Stanton was he holding daring the term of the Presi dent by whom he was appointed ? The honorable managers say yes; because, as they say. Mr. Johnson is merely serving out the residue of Mr. Lincoln's term. But is that so under the provisions of the Con stitiition of the United States? I pray you to allow mete read one or two sentences that are exactly ap plicable to this question. The first is the first section of the second article of the t onstitution, which says; "The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. Ile shall hold his office during term of four years, and together with the Vice-President, chosen for the same period, be elected as follows." There is ' a declaration that the President and the Vice-Presi :dent is each respectively to hold his office for the term of four years. But that does not stand alone. Here 10 a qualification of that statement: "In case of re ,iftrealof the President from office, or of his death, xesignation or inability to discharge the duties of the "';said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice-Presi dent." Sol that, although the President, like the VicrePresident, is elected for the term of four years, arid each elected for the same term, the President is motto hold his office absolutely during tour years. The.lienit•cif four jeers is not an absolute limit. There is a conditional limit as lawyers term it, im posed, and when, according to the second passage which I have read, the first dies or is removed, then his term of four yearefor which he was elected and. during which be . was to hold provided he should so long live, terminates, and the office devolves on the Vice-President. For what period of time? For the remainder of the terra for Which the Vice-President was elected. There Is no more propriety under this provision of the Constitution of the United States in calling the time during which Mr. Johnson holds the office of President, as it WBf3 devolved on him as part of Mr. Lincoln's term, than would the propriety , Unsaying diatom, sovereign who succeeds to another sovereign by death, holds a part of his predecessor's 'term The term assigned by the Constitution was a , Conditional aesignment . It was to last four years if ; not sooner ended, but if sooner ended by death'. then Use office was to devolve on the Vice-Preeldent,and the term of the Vice President to hold the office` than submit, then, that on this language it is equally , I mpart:at that Mr. Kenton's case cannot be considered 4111 within this act. This law, however, as Senators 1 • , `"-' , raery'vell know, had a purpose . There was a' prac tical object in view, and however clear it may Wein that the language of the law, when applied to Mr. Stanton. will exclude that case. However clear that r may seem on the mere words of the law, if the par ipso CM be dineerned, and that purpose plainly re- ENE paired a different interpretation, that difecntinter-' pretetion sheruld be given; ;bat on . the other hand, 16 the purpose that was in view is one, which requires ibis interpretatidri for-. which I have brtin drawing your attention, then it greatly strengtjtena the argu ment, but shows that not \only the language of the act iteell, but the practical 'object which the legisla tion had iu view in using that language, requires this interpretation. Now there can be no dispute concerning what that purpose was., as I suppose. Here Is a peculiar class of officers singled from all others and brought within this purpose. Why is it? It is because the Constitution has provided that those principtti officers in the several executive departMents may be called upon by the Pres ident for advice respecting the language of the Consti tution, but not respecting their several duties, as 1 read the Constitution. That the President may call upon the Secretary of War for advice concerning questions arising in the Department of War. But that be may call upon him for advice concerning questions which, are a part of the duty of the Presi dent, and which touch his duties as well as questions that belong to the Department of War, allow me to see if that is not a true interpretation. The language of the Constitution is that the Presi dent may require the opinion in writing of the prin cipal officer of each of the Executive Departments, on any subject relating to the datiee of their respective offices. As I read ft, it is relating to the duties of the office ot these reincipal officers,' or relating to the duties of the President himself. At all even te, such was the practical interpretation put upon the Consti tution from the beginning, and every gentleman who listens to me, and who is familiar, as all are with the political history of the country, knows that from an early period of the country, in the administration of General Washington, his secretaries were called mien, for their advice concerning matters not within their respective departments, and so the practice has con tinued from that time to this. This is what distinguished this class of officiate in one particular from any other o ffi cers embraced' With— in the body of -this law, but ffiete'els another dis tinction. The Constitution undoubtedly contem plated that there should be executive departments or• ganized, the heads of which were to (mist the Presi dent in the administration of the laws, as well as by their advice. They were to be the bands and the voice of the President, and accordingly that has been so practiced from the beginning, and is countenanced directly and explicitly by the legislation of Congress in the organization of the departments and in the act which constitutes the Department of War. That act provides, as Senators will remember, in so many words, that the Secretary of War is to disbharge such duties, within a certain general description there given, as shall be assigned to him by the President, and that he is to do it tinder the President's instruc tions and directions. Let the repeat. The Secretary of War and the other secretaries, the Postmaster-General and the At tovney•Genrral are deemed to be the assistants of the President in the performance of his great duties, to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, and they, are to speak and act for him. Now, do not those suggestions or views show that this class of officers was excepted out of the tenure-of-office act? They Were to be the advisers of the President, they were to he the immediate confidential assistants of the Presi dent, for whom be was to be responsible, and in whom he was expected to repose the gravest honor, - trust and confidence. Therefore it was that this act has connected the tenure or office of these officers with that of the President by whom they were ap pointed. It saps, in fact, that as to the eecretaries who were appointed by some particular President: They shall continue to bold their office during the term of that President. but that as to secretaries who are in office, and who ere not appointed by any President now in office, Congress has nothing to say, and leaves them as they eland. I submit, Senators, that that is the natural and, having regard to the character of these officers, the necessary interpretation of the tenure-of office act; so that It was the intention of Congress to compel the President to continue-in office a Secretary not appointed by himself. Fortunately, however, we have not only those means of interpreting this law which I have alluded to-- namely, the language of the act and the evident object and purpose of the act--but ive have decisive evidence of what was intended and understood by the law in each branch of Congress at the time it was passed. In order to make this more apparent and its just weight more evident, allow me to state what is very familiar, undoubtedly. to Senators, but which I wish to recall to their minds--the history of this proviso. The bill, as Senators will recollect, originally excluded those officers altogether. It Made no. attempt- -indeed. it rejected all attempts-- to Prescri he the tenure of ollice for them: so the bill went to the House of Represent atives. It was there amended by putting the Secrete ries on the same footing as other civil officers an pointed with the advice and consent of the Senate, and, thus amended,lt came back to this body. - This body disagreed to the amendment. There upon a committee of conference was appointed: That committee on the part of the House had for its Chair man the Hon. Mr. Schenck, of ;Ohio. and on the part of this body it had the Hon. Mr. Williams and the Hon. Mr. Sherman. That committee of conference came to an agreement to alter the House bill by striking those Secretaries out of the body of the bill, and inserting therein the eroviso containing the mat ter now under consideration. Of course, when tide report was made to the House of Representatives it was incumbent on the committee appointed By that body to explain what was done, or agreed to he done, so that the Rom itself might understand and act in. telligently on the matter. Now I wish to read to the Senate the explanation given by the Hon. Mr. Schenck, the Chairman of the committee on the part of the House, when he made the conference report to the House, After reading the report, Mr. Schenck said : • "I propose to demand the previous question on agreeing to the report of the committee of confer ence, but before doing so I will explain to the douse the conditions of the hill and the decision of the com mittee of conference upon it. It will be recollected that the bill, as it passed the Senate, was to pro vide that the concurrence of the Senate should be required in all removals from office, except In the case of heads of departments the Honse amended the bill of the Senate, so as to extend this requirement to the heads of departments as well as to other officers. - The committee of conference has agreed tnat the Senate shall accept the amendment of the House, but inasmuch as this would compel the President to keep around him heads of departments until the end of his term, end who would bold oxer to the next term, a compromise was made, by which a further Amendment is added to this portion of the bill, so that the term of office of heads of de partments shall expire with the term of the President who appointed them, allowing these heads of de partments one month longer, in which, in case of death or otherwise, other appointments can be made. That lathe whole effect of the proposition reported by the committee of conference. It is, in fact, an acceptance by the Senate of the position of the House, When, then, these questions were put to Mr. Schenck, he went on to say; Their terms of office, ' that is, the terms of office of the Secretary. Sm., are limited as they are," so that they expire with the term of service of the President who appoints them, and one month after, in case of death or accident, until others can be substituted tor them. Allow me to repeat that sentence "They expire with the term of service of the President who ap points them, and ohe month after, in case of death or accident." Now, in this body, when the report of the committee of conference was made, Mr. Williams madehn explanation of it, and that explanation was n substance the same as that made by Mr. Schenck in the Rouse. Thereupon a considerable debate sprung up. No debate had sprung up in the House, for the explana tion of Mr. Schenck was accepted by the House as correct, and was unquestionably voted by the Horne as-giving the true tone, meaning and effect of the bill in this body. However, 'a considerable debate sprang up. It would take toe much of your time, and too much of my strength to undertake to read this debate, but I think the "whole of it may fairly be summed up in this statement; that it was charged by one of the honorable Senators from Wisconsin (Mr. Doolittle), that it was the - intention of those who favored this bill to keep in office Mr. Stanton and some other Secreta ries that that was directly met by the honorable Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman), one of the members of the Conference Committee, by this statement: "I di) not understand the language of the Senator from Wis consin. He first attributes a purpose to the confer ence committee, which I say is not true. I say that the Senate has not legislated with a view to any per son, or to any president, and, therefore, lie com mences by assei tine what is net true. We do not legislate to keep in the Secretary of War, the Secre tary of the Navy, or the Secretary of State." Then a conversation arose between the honorable Senator from Ohio and the honorable Senator from Wisconsin: and the honorable Senator from Ohio continued thus, "That the Senate has no sueh purpose is shown by its vote since to make this exception. That this pro vision does not apply to the present case is shown by the fact that its lanminee is so framed as not to apply to the present President. The Senator shows that himself, and argues truly that it would not prevent the present President from removing the Secre tary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, or the Secretary of State ; and if I supposed that either of these gentlemen were so wanting in manhood,. or in honer, as to hold Ideplace after the politest intimation from the President of the United States that his services were no longer needed, I certainly, as Senator, would consent to his removal at any time, and so would we all. I read this. Senators, not as ex pressing the opinion of an individual Senator concern ing the meaning of a law that is under discussion and that is about to pass into legislation , . I read it as the explanation of tbe)report of the committee of confer ence, appointed by this body to see whether it could agree with the Hou se of Representatives' in the terms of this bill. And now I ask the Senate, If; looking at the language of this bill, looking-at its purpose, look ing at the circumstances under which it was pursed, looking at the meaning attached to. it by each of the bodies who assented to it, it is possible to hold that Mr. Stanton's case is within the scope of this tenure of-office act? • . i submit that it is not. I now return to the allege. Bone of this article. The first, as the Senators wilt remember, is that the issuing' of the order whicleis bet out in the article, was a violation of the tenure. of- Mike act. It is perfectly clear that this Is not' true. The tenure-of-cake act, in Its sixth seetion,rade that every removal, appointment and emolume t that may have been exercised contrary to the Provisions or this act shall be deemed a high misdemeanor. Well, imthe first place. no removal has been proved. c ,They set out the order of removal; it Mr. Stanton ) had obeyed that order it would have been a removal, but inasmuch as Mr, Stanton did not obey it, there was TIIEVAILIr EVENING lormarqn4trurtarig_trEcip., PAIDA:irt-Apjt„ lid removal, so that it ie quite dear that,looking at tbis sixth section of the act; Aber have tined° out no caee rain-move' 'within the statute, and, therefore, no case of violation by any removal. , . • It tenet not only be a removal', bat'. it must be con trary to the provisions of the tenure..9f-ollice act; and, therefore, if yon hold the order to be'r in effect a re moval, finless Mr. Stanton's case was within this act, and unless this act gave Mr. Stanton's tenure-of-Wilco, his removal would not have been contrary to the pro vistens of the act. But this article, as Senators will perceive on looking at it, does not allege simply that the order for the removal of Mr. Stanton was a viola tion of the tenure-of-office act. The honorable House of Representatives has not, by its articles, attempted, in other words to erect a mis. take into a crime. I have been Arguing to you at con siderable length, and, no doubt, tiring, your patience, the construction of this law. I have a clear idea of what its construction ought to be. Senators who have listened to me may have a different idea about it, but I think they will, in all candor, admit that there is a question of construction here, and a question as to what the meaning of, this law was, a question whether it it applicable to Mr. Stanton's case. A very honest and solid • question which any man may entertain, and therefore I. repeat it is impor tant to observe that the honorable House of Repre sentatives has not, by this article, endeavored to charge the President with a high misdemeanor, be cause he had failed iq construing that law The House charged him with intentionally miscon struing it so that, in order to maintain the substance of this article, without which it was not designed by the House of Representatives to stand, and could not stand. it is necessary for the managers to show that the President wilfully misconstrued this bill; that having reason to believe, and actually believing, after the use of due inquiry, that Mr: Stanton's case was within the law, he acted as if it was not within it; that is the substance of the charge of this article. Well, what is the proof in support of it? Not a particle of evidence. Senators must undoubtedly be familiar with the fact that the office of President of the United States, as well as many other executive. offices, and, to some extent, judicial offices, call upon those who hold them for the exercise of judgment and skill in the construction and application of laws, and on their judgment and skill in the application of the Constitution itself. It is true the judicial power of the country, so to speak—technically 'meal:leg—is all vested in the Supreme Court, and in such inferior courte as Congress from time to time has established or may establish; but then there is a great mass of judicial work tone performed by executive officere in the discharge of their duties which is of a judicial character. Take, for instance, all that is done in the auditing of accounts, that isjudicial, whether it be done by an auditor or comptroller, or whether it be done by a chancellor, tt is of the same character when done by one as when done b3qhe other. They must construe and apply the laws;' they must investigate and ascer lain the facts; they must come' to some results founded on the law and on the facts. Now this class of duties the President of the United States has to perform. A case is brought before him which, in his judgment, calls for action. his first inquiry must be, what Is the law on the subject? and he encounters, among other things, this tenure-of-office act in the course of that inquiry. Ills first duty is to construe that law to seen whether it applies to the case and to use; of coarse,- in doing so, all those means and appliances which the Conetitiitiou and laws of the country have put into his hands to enable hint to come to a correct decision. But, after all, he must decide in order either to act or refrain from acting. - That process the President was obliged to go through in this case, and did go throughsand he came to the conclusion that the case of Mr. Stanton was not within this law. Be came to that conclusion, not merely by examination ipto this law himself, but by resorting to the advice which the Constitution and laws of the country enable him to gall for in order to assist him in coming to a correct conclusion. Ravine done so, will the Senate be prepared io eay that this must have been a wilful misconstruction of the law— so wilful, so wrong that it can justly and properly, and for the purpose of this prosecution effectively he termed a high misdemeanor. How does the law read? What are its purposes' and objects? Bow was it un deretttod herteat the time it was passed, and how is it possible for this body to convict the President of the United States of a high crime and mis demeanor for construing the; law as those who made it construed it at the time of its pas. sage. I submit to the Senate that thus far no great advance has been made' towards the cuicle-- pion of either of the allegations in this article, that this order was a violation of the tenure-of office act, or that there was an intent on the part of the Presi dent thus to violate it ; and yet, although we have net yet gone over all the allegations in this article, we have met its head's front, and what remains will be found to be nothing butincidental and circumstan tial, and not tbe principal subjects. If Mr. Stanton was not within this law ; if be held during the pleas ure of air. Johnson. - as he had held during the pleas ure of President Lincoln, and if he was bound to obey that order, to quit the place instead of being sustain ed in resisting it, I think that the honorable mana gers will find it extremely difficult to construct out of the broken fragments of this article anything that will amount to a high misdemeanor. What are they? They are, in the first place, that the President did violate, and intend to violate, the Constitution of the United States by giving this order. Haw f They say. as I understand it, that the order of removal was made during the session of the Senate, and that for that reason the order was a violation of the Constitution of the United States. Now, if I can make our ideas of it plain, I think there is nothing left of that article. Now, in the first place, as Sena tors will observe this is the case of a Secretary of War, bolding by the terms of his commission during the pleasure of the President, and holding under the act of 1789, which created that department, and which, although it does not efrectly confer on the President the power of removing the Secretary, dots clearly im ply that be nad that power, by making a provision for what shall happen incase he exercises it. That is the ease which is under consideration. The question is this, whether under the law of 1789, and the tenure of office created by that law, created after great debate, the President could have removed such a Secretary during the Session of the Senate. Why not? Certainly there is hothing in the Constitution of the United States to prohibit it. The Constitution has made two distinct provisions for filling offices. One is by a nomination to the Senate, a confirmation by , that body and a commission by the. President 1 on that confirmation. The other is the commission of an officer, when a vacancy happens, daring a re cess of the Senate. But the question now before yon i is not a question as to, how vacancies shall be filled, fur that the Constitution has provided for, but a question how vacancies may be created, which is a totally distinct question. Whatever may be thought of the soundness of the Constitution--arrived at after a lengthy debate in 1789--concerning the tenure of oflice, or concerning the power of removal from office, •no one, I suppose, will question the fact that a con clusion was arrived at, and that that conclusion was that the Constitution of the United States had lodged with the President , tbis power of removal independ ently of the Senate. This may be a decision which ought to be reversed. It may have been now reversed. On that I say nothing at present; ant that it Was made the legislation of Congress in 1769, and on down to 1667, proceeded on the assumption, express or im plied, that that decision had been made, nobody who understands the history of the legislation of the country will deny. Consider, if you please, what. that decision was; that the Conatitutton bad lodged this power in the President, that he was to exercise it, and that the Senate had not and could not have any control whatever over it. If that be so, what materiality is it whether the Senate is in session or nett If the Senate is not in session. and the Presi dent has this power, a vacancy is created, and the Constitution has made provision for silting the va cancy by commissioning until the end of the next melon of the Senate. If the Senate is in session, then the Constitution has made provision for filling the vacancy thus created by nomination, and the laws of the country made provision for tilling it red interim, so that It this be the case within the scope of the de cision made by Congress In 1789, and within the scope of the legislation which followed on that•dealeion, then it is a case where, either by force of the Consti tution the President had the power of removal with out consulting the Senate, or else the legislation of Congress had given it to him, and in either way, • neither the Constitution nor the legislation of Con gress had made it incumbent on him to consult the Senate on the subject. I submit, therefore, that if you loo k at this case as it has even promised on a decision made in 178!) on lye legislation of Congress following that decision, are the terms of the commis sion under which Mr. Stanton holds, you rpnet come to his conclusion without any further reference to tile subject, that the Senate bad nothing what over to do with the removal of Mr. Stanton, either whetherthe Senate was in session or not; that his removal was made either tinder the constitutional power of the Preeident as it had been interpreted in 1789; or if that be considered reversed under the grant made by the Legislature •to the President in reference to all those secretaries not included within the tenure-of office act. • ' This, however, does notsest simply on this applica cation of the Constitution and legislation of Con grow. There has been, and I shall bring it before 'von, a practice on 'the part of the goveratnenti going back' to a viry early day, and coming down to a recent period, for the President to make removals from the office, when the ease called for them, without regard to the fact whether the Senate was in session or not. The instances, of course, would not be numerous, where if the Senate Was in session ho wouldpnot send a nomination to the Senate, saying: "I appoint A. B. instead of O. 8., removed:" but there were oc casions, not of frequent occurenco, where the Presi dent had not time to select a person whom he would nominate; wherehe would not trust the officer then in possession.otthe. offies to continue' in - iti and where it, was necessary for him, by aapecial order to remove him from the office, wholly independent of the nomination of his successor. Let, me bring before your attention a case which happened recently within the knowledge.of the Senate.

I I have now given Pe considerations applicable to the tenure-of office act and to those allegations that the President violated, knowingly vioiated the Con etitution-of the United States in the order for the re moval of Mr. Stanton free office while the Senate MB in session. The counsel for the President deem that it was not essential in order to his vindication from this charge, to go farther into this subject. The President nevertheless takes a broader view of the matter, and it is due to the President that it Should be brought into Court, and that I now propose to open to your consideration. The Constitution requires the Pretfident of the United States to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. It also requires of him, before ho is qualified for his office, to swear that 'ho will faithfully execute the laws and that to the best of his ability he will preserve, protect.and defend the Constitution of the United Statet. I slip pose every man will agree that as long as the President in good faith is endeavoring th take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and le in good faith, to the best of his ability, preserving, protecting, and defend. tag the Constitution of the United States, although he triter be Mistaken, ho has not committed high crimes and misdemesners. In the execution of these duties the President found various reasons which it is not myprovince et this time to state, but which will be exhibited to you hereafter, that it was impossible for him to allow Mr. Stanton to continue to hold the of fice of Secretary of War while he was responsible for his conduct in the manner in which he is required by the Constitution and laws to be responsible. This was intimated to Mr. Stanton, and did not produce the effect which In the opinion of well-informed men, such an intimation usually produced. Thereupon the President first suspended Mr Stanton, and reported that fact to the Senate. Certain proceedings took place here, which will be adverted to more particularly presently. They resulted in the return of Mr. Stanton to the, occupation by him of his Mike. Then it was necessary :for the President of the United States to consider first whether this tenure -of office act applied to the case of Mr. Stanton, anti, second, whether, if it applied to the case of Mr. Stan ton, the law itself was a law of the land, or inopera tive. because conflicting with the Constitution. Now, I am aware that it is insisted that it is the civil and moral duty of all men to obey these laws that have been passed through all the forms of legislation until they Shall have been declared by the judicial authority not to be binding, but it is evident that that is too broad a statement of the civil and moral duty, in cumbent either upon private citizens or upon pub lic officers—because if this be the measure of the duty. there never could be a decision, there never could be a decree, that the law is- unconatitntional, _ inasmuch 115 It IS only by disregarding the aw that any question can -- be raised upon it, I submit to Senators that not only is there no such rule of civil or moral duty, but that it may be and has been a high and patriotic duty in a ' citizen to raise a question whether the law le within the 'Constitution oflhis country. - Will any question the patriotism or the propriety \of John Hampden's act when be brought the questiotbefore the courts of England, whether ship money was , within the Consti tution of England? Not only is there no such rule in cumbent upon private citizens, which forbids them to raise such questions, but let me repeat there may be, and there often have been Instances in which the highest patriotism and the purest civil and moral liberty required it. Let me ask any of you if yon were a trustee for the rights of third persons . , and if those rights of third persons which they could not defend, themselves, by reason perhaps, of sex or age, should be attacked by an un constitutional law, should you not deem it your sacred duty to resist that law and have the question tried ? And if a private trustee may be subject to such duty, and impelled by it to such fiction, how is it possible to maintain that be who is a trustee for the people, with powers confided to him for their protection, for their security, for their benefit, may, not, In that charaeter of trustee, defend what has been thus committed to him ? Do not let the be misunderstand upon this.. lam not intending to advance upon or to occupy any 'ne t/ewe ground, because no such extreme ground has been advanced upon, or is occupied by the President of the United States. liens to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. When a law has been tensed through' the forms of legislation, either with his as sent or without his assent, it is his duty to see that the law be faiththily executed, so long as nothing is required of him in his ministerial action. Ile is not to erect himself in a judicial Court, and decide that the law is unconstitutional, and that, therefore, he will not execute it. If that was done, there manifestly never could be a judicial decision. The President could not only veto the law. but would refuse all action tinder the law after it was passed, and woaid thus prevent any judi cial decision being made upon it.. Be asserts no such power, he has no such idea of hie duty; his idea of his duty is that, if a law is passed over his veto which he believes to be unconstitutional, and, if that law affects the interests of third parties, those whose interests are affected mutt take care of them, and must raise questions concerning them. If such a law affects the interests of the people, the people must take care of them at the polls, in a con stitutional and proper way; bat when a question arises whether a particular law has cut off a power coutided to him, and when he alone can raise that question, and when he alone can cause a judicial decision to come between the two branches of the government t o see which of them is right, and when, utter due de liberation, with the advice of those who are his properadvisers, advisers, he settled down firmly in the,opinion that such is the character of the law, it remains to he de - cided by you whether there's any violation of hie duty in doing so. Suppose a law should declare or provide that the President of the United States shall not make a treaty with England or with any other power. That would be a plain infraction of his constitutive al power,.and if an occasion arose when such treaty was expedient, deeiral le or necessary, in his judgment. it wows he his ditty to disobey the law, and the fact that it would be a high teiedernetinor if he disobeyca,it IP, more re leases him from the responsibility through the mo tive of fear of that law than he would be relieved from that responsibility by a bribe. Suppose a law is passed that he shall not be the Commanderin-Chief; that is a plain case of an in fraction of that provision of the Constitution which has confided to him that command in order that the head of all the military power in the country B eau h e its hiebest civil magistrate, and that the law may A VMs be superior to arms. Suppose the President should reeist a law of that kind in the manner which I have spoken of, by bringing it to a juillci'd decision? It may be said that these are plain cases of express infraction of the COnstitution. But what is the difference between a power conferred upon the President by the express words 'of the Constitution and the power conferred upon him by the clear im plication of the ConetitutionY Wherehis the power in the Constitution to levy taxes? Where does the power come from to limit Congress in assigning original jurisdiction to the Supreme. Court of the United States? Where do a multitude of powers on which Congress acts, come from in the Constitution, except by fair implication? Whence do you derive power to confer on the Senate the right to prevent removals from office without its consent? Is it expressly given in the Constitution, or is It an implication from some of its provisions? I submit that it is impossible to draw any line to limit the duty of the President simply because a power Is derived froni an implication of the Constitution instead of from an express provision of it. One thing, tinquestionahly, is to be expected from the President on all such occasions, and that is that ho shall care fully consider the qttestion, and if he shall he of opinion that it is necessary for the public service that toe question shall be decided, ho shall take all•com petent and proper advice on the subject, and, when he has done that, if he finds that he cannot follow the law in a particular case without, abandoning the powers which he believes to have been confided to him by the people, it is hit sol emn conviction that It is his duty to assert the power and to obtain a indicted decision thereon; and although' the• President does not perceive, nor do Ms counsel perceive that it is essential to his' defense in this came, to maintain this part of the argument, nevertheless, if this tribunal should be of that opin ion, then before this tribunal, before all the people of the United States; and before the civilized world, he asserts the truth of that position. lam compelled now to ask your attention, quite briefly however, to some considerations jybeich weighed on the mind of the President; and led hint conclude that the power of removal was one Of the powers of his office, and that it - wee his duty in the manner I bave indicated to endeavor to protect it. It is a rule long eettled, existing I suppose in the laws of all civilized countries, certainly existing in the laws 'of every system of government which I have commitel, that a cotemporary exposition made by those who are competent to give it a construction, UV very 'great weight,nrd that when such a coternporary expotition. of the la* has been made and hag:been followed ;by an actual and practical construction 'of it, , hatt been' con tinued during periods of time., and ,applied to 'great, numbers of cases, it le afterwatds' too late' to call in question the correctness of such a decision:.

Mr. Wallace moved to reconsider the vote by which the Senate had yesterday defeated an act to authorize the publication. of Sheriffs tiles in .4;erman. Mr. Connell said that - seveiial years ago he had agreed to allow 'a German Republican paper to publish brief extracts of Sheritfla notices, and was 'not now dltiposed to extend a greater favor to a Democratic faerman paper. .. Mr. Wallace (Dew.) urged that 11;0,000 German , reatiersr were entitled 'toread these notices. and the advertisement would Increase the prices isle- tained at Sheriff's sales.
