welfitre.
After the banquet had been disposed of, Hon.
Horace Greeley, who acted as Pretident,arese and
said.
RrEECH or new. HORACE GREELEY.
Gentlemen of the American Press:—lt is now a
little more than thirty-four years since I, a young
printet rise:oloy located in me city of New York,
nache audacity to undertake the duty of pub
lishing a:weekly newspaper for the first time.
tApplause.:l - Looking about at that.day for ma
teritd With' Which to make an engaging appear-.
ancelinfore the public, among the London maga
zines which I purchased for the occasion was
an oid monthly containing a story by a
theit , 'unknown writer; known to us only
by the quaint designation of "Boz." I Applause.[
That story, I think, entitled "Delicate At
tentions," but in the present volume under
smother name, I selected to publish in the first
number of the first journal with which my name
was associated. [Applause.] "Pickwick" was
then an unchronicled, if not - an uncreated cha
racter. (Applause. I. "Sam Weller" had not
then atisert to increase the mirth of the Anglo-
Saxon race. [Laughter and applause : j I had
not heard, as we have since, of the writer of those
sketches, whose carter I may thus claim. in some
sort, to have commenced [great laughter], and
the relation of admirer and admired has continued
from that day to the present.
I •am one of not more than twenty of the
present company who welcomed him on an occa
sion much like this, a quarter of a century ago
in this country, and when I came to visit Europe,
now seventeen years ago, .one of my very pleas
antest recollections of Europe is in the farthest
city that I visited. the city of Venice, on the
Adriatic, buying an Italian newspaper, and
amusingmyself with what I could not read—a
translation of "David Copperfiele—wherein the
dialogue of Ham and Peggotty, with which I was
familiar - in the English, was rendered in Italian,
and very amusing Italian. ]Great laughter. j
And so, friends, I claim a sort of humble connec
tion with the prophet an* priest - , of humanity
who is oar guest this evening. (Cheers. ] The
man who preaches in this generation, where
many have worthily attempted to preach from
that magnificent text of the plowman poet of the
world
"A nian'saatran‘ for a' that." [Cheer..)
The best sermon from that text, and perhaps I
may say the most, also, from whose works from
fret to last have been instinct with not only the
still, sad music of humanity, which is one, only
one, strain of the great epic of the time—but
with the daring, hopeful music of humanity also;
a humanity oft he future,an elevated, enlightened
and glorious humanity, which must and shall yet
be. [Cheers. I Friends and fellow-laborers—We
honor ourselves to-night in honoring the most
successful, thoroughly successful, literary man of
our times—one who we may proudly say, is not
ashamed of having come up, as most of us have
come up, from the lower rounds of the ladder of
the press; and though none of us have reached
such a height as he, still I say his success is a sign
of hope and encouragement to every one of us.
Cheers.]
We are each successful in his triumph ; we are
each—ln seeing what he has done, how noble.
how worthily he has done—taught the road to
our own success. He has preached the gospel of
humanity until even nobles and kings have
listened in admiration.
Friends and fellow laborers. as I am to set you
an example to-night with a short speech, I will,
without further prelude, ask you to join me in
this sentiment:— 'Health and ,happiness, honor
and generous, because just, recompense, to our
friend and guest, Charles Dickens." (Great ap
plause and three cheers for Charles Dickens.]
Mr. Dickens responded to the toast, "our
Guest," as follows :
6f/it/mon: I canhot do better than take my
cue from your distinguished President, and refer,
in my first remarks, to his first remarks in con
nection with the old associations between you
and me. - When I received an invitation from a
private association of working members of the
Press to dine with them to-day, I akepted that
compliment in grateful remembrance of a calling
that was once mine, and 'in loyal sympathy to
wards a brotherhood which in the spirit I have
never deserted. , [Applause.] To the wholesome
training of severe newspaper work when I was a
very young man, I constantly refer my first suc-
CeSE—capplause I—and, too, ,my sons will here
after testily for their father that he was always
proud of that ladder by which he rose. [Re
newed applause.] If it were otherwise, I should
have but a very poor and mean opinion of their
father, which perhaps—upon the whole—l—have
—not. [Great laughter. I
Thus, • gentlemen, under any circumstances,
this company would have been unexceptionably'
interesting and agreeable to me: but whereas I
supposed that, like the fairies' pavilion of
the 'Arabian Nights," it would be but a mere
handful, I find it drawn out like the same pa
vilion, capable of comprehending a multitude.
So much the more proud am I of the honor of
being your guest. For, you will readily believe
that the more widely representative of the press
in America my entertainers are, the more I must
feel the good-will and kindly sentiments towards
me of that vast institution. [Applause. I ' Gen
tlemen, so much of my voice has lately been
beard in the land—rlaughter:]—and I have
for upwards of four hard winter months so
contended against what I have been sometimes
quite admiringly assured was a great American
catarrh—[great laughterl—a visitation which I
hive throughout highly appreciated—[applause
and laughter . ..l—though I might have preferred to
be naturalized by any other social or physical
means—{laughter]—l say, gentlemen, so much
of my voice has lately been heard in the land
that I might have been contented not to trouble
you any further from my present standing-point,
were it not a duty with which I henceforth charge
myself, not only hero but on every suitable occa
sion whatsoever and wheresoever, to express my
high and grateful , sense of my second reception
in America, and to bear my honest testimony to
the national generosity and magnanimity. I Great
cheering.)
Also, to declare how astounded I have been by
the amazing changes that I have seen around me
on every side. • Changes `•moral, changes physi
cal; changes in the amount of land subdued and
Peopled; changes in the rise of vast new cititt;
changes in the growth of older cities; changes in
the grow and amenities of life; changes iu the
press—without`whose.advancement no advance
ment can take yltoil anywhere. [Applause.]
Nor am I, believe me, so arrogant as. to suppose
that in five-and-twenty years there have been no
changes in me; and that -I had nothing to learn
and no extreme impressions to correct when I
was first here.' (Thunders oftipplausel
gentlemen. this brings uS to a point on which I
have, ever since I landed here butt November, oh
served a strict silence, though sometimes tempted
to break it; and, in reference to it, I will, with
your good leave, take - you into my confidence
now. Great merriment; cries tif bear. J I find
the press, being bureau, may be sometimes mis.
taken or misinformed--paughter I—but I rather

deration on earth should induce me to write.
[Langhter.l But what I have intended, what I
have resolved upon, and this is the confidence I
seek to 'elect in you, Is that on my return.to
England, in my own English journal, manfully,
promptly, plainly in my own person to bear for
the beboof of my countrymen, such testimony
to the gigantic changes in this country as I have
hinted at to-night. [Applause.] Also, to recall
that wherever.] have been, in the smallest places
equally with the largest, I have been received
with unsurpassable politeness, delicacy, sweet
temper, hoepltality„coneideration,' and with un
surpassable reepset for the privacy daily enforced

I have referred to America. (TM:lndere of ap

not in my loving thankfulness, but because I re
gard it as an act of plan justice and honor.
[ Applause.] Gentlemen,this expression of my
own feelings toward interestanr in America, and
those of blest of my countrymen, seems to me
-hut a natural one; whether or not it is so, I make
'it an expiess object. I was asked in title very
city, about last Christmas time, whether an Ame
xican Was not at some disadvantage imEngland
'as a foreigner? The notion of an American being
regarded as a foreigner at all—of his ever being
thought of or spoken of in that character was so
Incongruous and absurd to me that my gravity
for the moment was quite empowered. [Ap
plause.]
As soon as it was restored, I said that for years
past I bad hoped I had bad as many American
friends and received as ninny American visitors
as almost any Englishman living [applause,] and
that my unvaried experience fortified by others
was that It was enough in England to be an
American to be received with the most earnest
respect and recognition anywhere. When an
.American gentleman of cultivated taste for art,
who, finding himself on a certain Sunday, out
side the wall of a certain historical English castle,
famous for its pi turns, was refused admission
there according to\ the strict rules of the place on
that day but by merely representing that he was
an American gentleman on his travels, and had
yet to see the picture gallery, the whole castle
was placed at his Immediate disposal. [Great
applause and laughter]. There was a lady, too,
being in Ltindon, and having a great desire to
see the Lamomi rending room of the British
Museum, was assured by the English faintly
with which she staid that it was unfortunately
impossible, because the place was closed for a
week, and she had only three days there.
Upon that lady's going, as she assured me,
alone to the gate—self-introduced as an American
lady—the gate flew open as if by magic. [Laugh
ter and applause.] lam honestly bound to add
that she certainly was young and extremely
pretty. [Laughter and applause.] Still the por
ter of that institution is of an obese habit, and to
the best of my observation not very impressible.
[Laughter.] Now, gentlemen, I refer to these
trifles as collateral assurance to you that the
Englishman who shall humbly strive, as I hope
to do, to be in England as faithful to America as
to England herself', has no previous conception
to contend against. [Applause. I Points of dif
ference there have been; points of difference;
points of differeuee there are; points of difference
there probably always will be between the two
great peoples; but broadcast in England is sown
the sentiment that these two peoples are essen
tially one [applause], and that it rests with them
to uphold the great Anglo-Saxon race to which
our President has referred, and all its..great .
achievements throughout the World.
HI know anything of my countrymen, and
they give me credit of knowing' something of
them [voice "good" j, if 1 know anything of my'
countrymen, gentlemen, 'the English heart is
stirred by the flutter of those Stars and Stripes as
it is stirred by no other ling that floats. except its
own. [Great aplause, and "three cheers for
'Charles Dickens."]
If I know my countrymen, in any and every
relation towards America, they begin, not as Si!
Anthony Absolute recommended lovers to begin,
with a little aversion, with a great liking and a
profound respect [applause], and whatever may
be the sensitiveness of the moment, or the Halt
official passion, or the little official poliCy. now
or then, or here or there, may be, take my
word for it, that the first enduring great
popular consideration in England is, a generous
construction of justice. I "Bravo" and ap
plause.] Finally, gentlemen, I say this, subject
to your correction, ldo believe, from the great
majority of the honest minds on both sides, there
cannot be absent the conviction that it would be
better for this globe to be riven by an earthquake,
fired by a comet, or overrun by an iceberg, aban
doned to the Arctic fox and bear, than that i
present the spectacle of these two great nations.
each of whom has, its own way and hour,striven
SO hard and so successfully for freedom, ever
again being arrayed the one against tile other.
[Tremendous] applause.] Gentlemen, I cannot
thank your President enough, and you enough,
for your kind response to my health,and my poor
remarks. But believe me, I thank you with the
utmost fervor of which my soul is capable. [Loud
and long continued applause. ]

SPEECH OF. G. If. Lox ER.
In response to a toast, "The Press of Phila
delphia,' Mr. Boker said : Mr. Chairman—l am
astonished at being called upon to reply to any
toast. The Committee of Arrangements are
under bonds not to require me to speak for any
purpose whatever. I am therefore entirely un
prepared to speak on any subject. As respond
ing to the toast, "The Press of Philadelphia,"
gentlemen who have preceded me have disowned
connection with the daily, and with the weekly,
and with the monthly, and with the quarterly
press. lam connected with no press whatever,
and how I am to represent the Philadelphia press
it is impossible for me to say. 'However, I have
no doubt the Philadelphia press owes Mr. Dickens
the same debt of gratitude that the press of our
country generally Seems to owe him. [Laughter.
I. represent a class of the community without
which the members of the press could hardly
exist. lam a subscriber [cheers and laughter I,
and I am happy to be able to say with my hand
upon my heart that nave always paid my bills
I applause]generally in advance [cheers j, not
that my credit was not good, but because that
seemed to be the requirement laughter]; either
because the newspapers lacked capital or faith.
Another thing I have to say will, perhaps,
make you look upon me as an American curi
osity, which is, that I never read a book of Mr.
Dickens except in the original editions. [Cheers.]
I will not go into the subject of a natianal copy
right law, least I should get heated and say
something injudicious; but I think such a law
would bo a justice to the American author as
much as to the English author. The writings of
Mr. Dickens have affected and softened the heart
wherever they have been read, and more espe
cially 'wherever they have been heard through the
magic medium of his voice. [Cheers.]
We have lately had the pleasure of hearing him
interpret his own works throughout these 'United
States, and after that interpretation of them he
will go home to his own country, if possible,
more beloved than ever. [Cheers. I It has been
said by many•of our critical writers that Mr.
Dickens, in "Martin ChuzzlewitP and the "Ame
rican Notes," was not altogether just to us. That
may be. Mr. Dickens saw with his own eyes,'
and from one point of view. However, we know
that this tour of his through our country has
been one continued triumphal progress; he has
overcome all prejudices, and his audiences have
listened io him with delight.
Different views of these entertainments, have
beep taken in bur different cities, but all of' than

EXECO rIVIC,
The Speech of Illnnager Wilson on
tiateardny.
Mr. Mauager Wittiest rose mid fetid: es' this objec
tion confronts one of the most important questions
Involved in thin case, I wish to present the views of,
the mutineers respecting It with ouch care and exact
ness tide Inatbe able to command. Tee respondent
now offers to prove doubtless as a foundation for
other Cabinet advice of more recent date, that he was,.
advised by tbe memberd of big Cabinet thattbe net of.
Congress upon which rest aevetill of the articles to
which he has made answer, to wit: "An act regulat
ing the tenure ofcert./in Civil tadicota," passed March
2,1801, wail and id tihcOnatitutlonni, And therefore
void. That he Wu so 'advieed he hes alleged in hie
answer. Whether he Was'do advised or not we hold to
be immaterial to this care and irrelevant to the issue
joined. The House of leepresent atives was not to be
• entrapped in the .prepttratme. of tt air replication by
any such cunning `(Melt nor by: the 'kindred one
whereby the respondent affirms thut ho was not bound
to execute said actbecause he believed it to he uncon
stitutional. The replication sap; that the House of
Represilatatives do deny each • and every averment in
sat d sefttr& mowers, or either of them. which - denies
or beyond, the acts intents.: crime or mledemeanors
charged against the said Andrew Johnson In said ar
ticles of impeachment, or either of them, and for re
plicatiten ttetwiti answer', United third Mid Andrew
Johneon; President of 'the States, is guilty of
the high crimes and miedemeancrs mentioned in said
articles, &c.
There is no acceptance here of the issue tendered by
the respondent, and in support of which he offers the
immaterial, incompetent and Irrelevant testimony, to
which we object. The advice which he may have re
ceived. and the belief /,vhich he may have formed
touching the constitutionality of such act, cannot be
allowed to shield him from the courequences of hie
criminal acts. Nor can his mistaken view of the Con
atitution relative to 'ilia right to .r.:maire the opinions
of the beads of the several ye:waive departments
uponcertaln guanines aid hie efforts to escape from
the jtist demands of law. in Ms answer to the first
article, tie alleges tads respondent had, in pursuance
of the thmatltution. requited the opinion of such prin.
Heal officer* of the modelle° departmetits upon this
question of Meditation& power, and daily had been
acivised by. earn of then). including said Mr. Stanton.
Secretary ter the Department_ of War, that under the
Constitution of
~the United States this power of re
moval was lodged by the Constitution. in the Free
ident of the Melted titres. and that consequently it
could be Lawfully exercised by him, and the Catiltreas
emild not deprive him thereof * The respondent found
no provision In the ConentuttOn authorizing him to
pursue any Poch Course.
Thedtattion Sara the President may require
the opinion in writing of the principal officer in each
of the executive department* upon any Subject, rela
ting to the datiee of their respective offices—Article

when did hetequlre the - opinions and receive the ad
vino Under fewer aft which he now seeks to escape?
ills Suierver informs us that this all transpired prior to
his veto of the bill. Upon those unwritten epinions
and that t advice he based hie mesaage. He corn •
m untested his objections to Cone-ere; they were over
ruled by both houses, and the bill was enacted into a
law in manner and form as preecribed by the Consti
tution. He does not say that since the tinal passage
of the act he has been further advised by the princi
pal officer of each of the Beet:utile departments that
he is not bound to enforce it, and if he had done so
he - would have achieved a result of no possible bene
et to himself, but dangerous to his advisers, for it
van be borne in mind that the articles charge that be
* . did unlawfully conspire with one Lorenzo Thomas
and with other rreons to, the noose of Represents
ves uniartram. He might have disclosed that the
nnamown person! were ice members of his Cabinet.
.This disclosure might have placed them in jeopardy
without diminishing the peril which attends upon hi
own predicament. It is not difficult to gee that the
line of defense to which we have directed the present
objection involves the :Teat question of this cue. It
rends to metiers more weighty than a mere restolutlon
of the technical offenses which float on the surface of
this presentation. Whoever attempts to measure the
magnitude of the case by \ the* comparatively instg
nieces:it acts which coreeitute the techhical crimes
and misdemeanors with `which the respondent stands
charged. will attain a remelt far short of its tree char
acter. and be rewarded with a beggardly appreclatioa
of the immensity of its real proportion!, for above
anti below and beyond these mere technical offenses,
grave as they undoubtedly are, the great question
which you are to settle Is to be found. It envelopes
the whole case and everything pertaining thereto. It
Is the great circle which bound's the sphere compered
to the multitude of questions and Is presented for
your determination.
The respondent is arraigned for a violation of and
a refusal to execute the law. Re offers to prove that ,
his Cabinet advised him :hat a certain bill, presented
for his approval. was in violation of the Constitution:
that be accepted their advice and vetoed the bill. And
upon that and such additional advice as they may
have given him. claims the right to resist and defy
the provisions of the bill, riotwithetanding its enact
ment into a law by two-thirds of both houses over his
objections. In other words, he claims, sebstaniially,
that be may determine for himself what (awe be will
obey and execute, and what laws be will disregard
end refuse to enforce In support of this claim he
offers the testimony which, for the time being. is ex
cluded by the objection now under discussion. If I
am correct to this, then I was not mistaken when I
asserted that this objection confronts one of the most
important ;meatier:se involved in this care. It may be
said that this testimony is offered merely to disprove
the intent alleged and charged in the articles. but it
:rocs beyond this, and reaches the maim question, as
will clearly appear to the mind of any one who will
read with care the answer to the Ant article. The

In the , theory of our Constitutient the Senate repre

beyond the reach of those oxidtonaents of passion
which so freqaently chAnge the politic l c implexion

ate. aim if to the perfect work of demonstration
this admirable adjustment of the powers with which
we are dealing. The executive power was created to
enforce the will of the nation. The will of the nation
appears in its law. Two houses of Congress are en
trusted with the power to enact laws. the objections
of the Executive to the contrary notwithstanding.
Laws thee enacted, as well as those which receive the
Executive sanction, are the voice of the people. If
the person clothed for the time being with the Execu
tive powers-the only power , which" can give effect
to the people's will—refasee or neglects to
enforce the legislative decrees of the nation,
or wilfully violates the seine, what constituent
elements of governmental form could be more prop
iy charged with the right to precept, and the means
to try and remove the contumacious Secretary than
those entrusted with the power to enact the laws of
the people, guided by the 'cheeks and balances to
which I have directed the attention of the Senate?
What other constituent pert of the government could
eo eel! understand and adjudge of a perverse and
criminal refusal to ()bey, or wilful declination to
execute the national will than those joining in its
expreeslow There can be but one answer to these
questions.
The provisions of the Constitution are wise and
past beyond the power of disputation in leaving the
entire subject of the responsibility of the Executive
to faithfully execute his office and , enforce the laws
to the charge, trial and judgment of the two several
branches of the legislative department, regardless of
the opinion of Cabinet officers, or of the decialons of
the judicial department. The respondent has placed
himself within this power of impeachment by tramp
ling on the constitutional duty of the executive, and
vto , atitig the teazel laws of the land.. I readily admit
that the Constitution of the United States is in al
most every respect different from the Constitution of
Great Britain. The latter is to a great extent unwrit
ten, andja in all regards subject to such changes as
Parliament may enact. An act of Parliament may
change the Constitution of England. In this country
the rule is different. The Congress may enact no
law in omelet with the Conetitation. The enact
menta of the Parliament become a part of the British
Constitution. The will of Parliament is supreme.
The will of Congress is enbordinate to the written
Constitution of the United States, but not to be
judged of by the executive department. Bat the
theerynpon Which the two constitutions rest at the
preeent time are almost identical. In both the ex
ecutive is made subordinate to the legislative power.
The Commons of England tolerate no encroachment
on their powers from any other estate of the realm.
The men who framed oar Constitution in 1789
were not untaught of these facts in English history,
and they fashioned our government on the plan of the
subordination of the executive power to the writ
ten law of the land: They did not deny the veto
potter of the President ; but they did declare that it
should be subject to a legislative limitation, under
the operation of which it might in any given case be
overruled by the Congress; and when this happens,
andlthe t ,toed bill becomes a law, the President must
yield the convictions of his o - aen judgment as an in
dividual to the demands of the higher duty of the of
fice and execute the law.
His oath binee him to this, and he cannot pursue
any other course of action without endangering the
public wee!. The Constitution regards him in a
double capacity as cltixen and public officer. In the
tint. it leases him to the same accountability to the
law In its ordinary process as, would attach to and ap
apply in caee he were a mere civilian or the humblest
citizen, while in the latter it snbjecte him to the
power of the Donee of Repreeentatives to impeach
and that 0: the Senate to remove him from office if , he
be guilty of • treason, briberyor other high crimes
and misdemeanors." If the citizen disobey the law
and be convinced thereof, he may be relieved by
pardon: bat the officer who brings upon himself a
co•avictlon or impeachment cannot receive the Er
ecutice clemency, for whole it IS provided that the
President eehall have power to grant reprieves and
pardons fur offenses ae.sinat the United Stales," it
er also expressly declared that this power shall not
ex t etol to "cases of impeacbnient"—Art. 2, see 2.
The Paine person, if he be a civil officer, rosy he
indicted for << violation of law and impeached for
the same act. If convicted in both cases he may
to pardoeed in the former, but in the latter he
is beyond the reach of foreiver.en. The relief
provided for the disobedient citizen is denied to
the offending officer.
I have aireacte observed that the Constitution of
the looted titsi.es distributes the powers of the gov
ernment =root three departments. Firo in the or
der of constitutional arrangement is the Legislative
Department, and this, doantiess. because the law -
Maathe power is the suareme power of the land,
through which the will of the nation is expressed.
The legislative power, in other words the law-makine
power, is - vested in a Conerees or the United States."
Next in the ender of its distribution of powers the
Constitution names the Executive Department. The
Congress can enact a law, but cannot execute it; it can
express the will of the n ation, but some other agen
cies are required to give it effeet. The Constitution
resolves those agencies and instrumentalities into an
Executive Department. At the head of this Depart
ment, charged imperatively with the due execution
of its great power, appears the President of the
United :Renee duly enjoined to take care that the
laws be faithfully executed. It the law which he is
to execute does not vest him with , discretionary
power', he has no election. He must execute the will
et the nation as expressed by Congress. The office of
executing a law excludes the right to judge of it, and
as the Constitution cherges the President with the
execetion of the laws, it thereby deciares what is his
duty, and give* him no power beyond. Rowle, on the
Constitution. p. 133. Undoubtedly he possess , the
right to recommend the enactment and to advise the
repeal of !ewe. Re may also. as I have before re
maeked, ebstrect the passage of laws by interposing
his veto, but beyond these means of changing, direct
Lug or cetructing the national will he may nut go.
A high officer of the government once gave to a
Pre-Merit of the United States an ()Pinion relative to
this doctrine in these word!: ••To the Chiet Execo -
tile )iagtstrate of the Union le confided the solemn
diat e of --Ong the laws faithfully executed. That ne
may be able to meet this duty with a power t.N11:11 to
its performance, he nominates his own subordinates
and removes them at his pleasure." This opinion
was given prior to the pseeage of the act of &larch 2,
late:, which require , the concurrence of the Senate in
removals from office, but which, while denying to the
Pie-ident the power of absolute removal, concedes to
'him the power to suspend officers, and to supply their
places temporarily. For the same reason the land and
naval forces are under his orders, as their commander
in chief; but his poser is to le used only in the
manner prescribed by the Legislative Department.
cannot eccomplish a legal purpose by illegal meant , , or
break the laws himself to prevent them from being
vioiared by others.
This it a very dear statement of the doctrine which
I have been endeavoring to enforce, and on which the
peculiar branch of this cue now commanding our at
tention rests. If we ,drift away from it, we unsettle
the very foundation of the iovernment and endanger
its stability Loa degree which may well alarm the most
peaceful mind and appal the most courageous. A de
parture from this view of the character of the exec
utive power, and from the nature of the duty and ob
ligation resting upon the officer charged therewith,
would surround this nationwith (Linger ot most fearful
proportions and of unparalleled magnitude. Such a de
parture would not only justify the respondent in his
refusal to obey and execute the law, but also approve
nis usurpation of the judicial powers when he resolved
that he would not observe the Legislature's will, be
cause in his judgment it did not conform
to the provisions of the Constitution of the
United States touching the subjects em
braced in the articles of impeachment on which he is
now being tried at your bar. Concede this to him,
and when and where may we look for the end. to
what result shall we arrive? Will it naturally and iu
evitably tend to a consolidation of the several powers
of the government be the Executive Departmenr,
Add would this be the end? Would it not rather be
but the beginning., If the President may defy and,
f
usurp the powerito the Lezlelative and Judicial De
partments of the government, all his caprices or the
advices of his cabinet may incline him, why may not
toe stibordinage,each for himeelf, end touching his own
sphere of action, determine how far the directions of
his superior accord with the Constitution of the
United States, and reteict refuseao obey all that
comes sheet ed.,:tbe standard erected by his judgment?
If tbe President has a right to control and refuse to
obey the laws enacted by Congress, his, subordinates
may exerelee the same right, and refuse' to obey hie
orders. it he merry exercise it in one case, they may
assert it In another. if he may challenge the laws of
Congress, they may question the orders of the Presi
dent. It is his duty to carry out the laws of ;the
nation, and their duty to obey his orders. If he may
be allowed to defy the legislative will, they may be
allowed to disregard the Executive order. This
brines confusion, and the affairs of the public are
made the sport of the contending factions and con
flicting agents:. No such power belongs to- either.
To Congress is given the power to enact laws, and
while they remain'teethe atm ute-book it is the con
stitutional duty of the President - to see to their
faithful execution. This duty rests upon all of his
subordinates. Its obeervance by all, the President
iticieded„ makes the Executive. Department, though
he be acting through .ten thoufiand agents, a unit-
Unity produces harmony. Harmony effects directness
of action, and thus secures a due execution of the
laws.

THE DAity,sytiirliGcluLLETlN.,,piliLijoiLitn,A; M ONDA Y,.APItIL 20, 1868,
Mr. Curette sald—thave no intention, Senators, to
make a replytO littelaborate_tugurnetit which hes now
been iniroftecht , here by the honotabbi manager,
touching the merits „of this case., The time for that
has not come, and the testimony is not before yon.
The case is not in a condition for you to consider end
pass open:lle Merits, whether they he based on lew or
the facts.
• Tne 'simple queation now before. the Senate is,
whether a certain offer of proof may,fie carried out in
evidence, Of course that involves Another. That other
inquiry is, Whether the evidence Which is offered is
pertinent to any-matter Involved fa this case. and when
It Is ascertained that the matter is pertinent, I sup
Post it is to be received. Its credit, ability, its worth,
its effect finally upon the merlin of the case, or any
question, cannot be considered and acted upon pre
liminarily
tbd reception of the evidence, and there
fore, leavingon °Vie side the Wbole of this elaborate
argument which is now addressed to yon, I propose to
make a few observations to show that this evidence
is pertinfixt to theissues in this case:
The honorable manager hae read a portion of the
answer of the President. and has stated that the
Bonne of. Representatives has taken no' osne upon
thatpart of the answer. As to the effect of that ad
mission by the managers, I shall have a word or two to
say presently. Bat the honorable manager has not
told you that the House of Representatives, when
they brought to your ear these articles, did not intend
to assert and prove the allegations •contained in them,
which are matters of fact. One of these allegations,
Mr. Chief Justtce, es you will find by, referring to the
first article, and to the second article, and to the third
article, is that the President of ,be United States, in
removing Mr. Stanton and appointing General
Thomas, intentionally violated the constitution of
the United States; that be did these acts with the in
tention of violating.the Constitution of the United
States. Instead of favoring that, it is wholly imma
terial what intention the, ?resident had; it is imma
terial whether he honestly believed that the act of
Coheres* was unconstitutional; it is wholly immate
rial whether be believed that he was acting in accord.
ance with his oath of office, to preserve, protect and
defend the Constitution. when he did thin act.
Now, then, we offer to introduce evidence here bear
ing upon this question of intent—evidence that, before
offering any opinion upon this subject, he resorted to
proper advice to enable him to form a correct judg
ment, and that when he did form a fixed opinion on
this subject, it was under the influence of this proper
advice. and that when be did this act, whether it was
lawful or unlawful, it wab not done with an intention
to violate the Constitution. The honorable manager
gets np here, and addressee yon for an hour by the
clock, tbst it le wholly immaterial what his opinion
was, or what advice he bad rebeived, in conformity
with which he acted in this matter. The honorable
manager's argument may be a sound one. This Sen
ate ma y ultimately come to that conclusion after they
have beard this case. That is a discussion into
which I shall not enter. But before the Senate can
come to the consideration of these questions, they
must pass over this allegation; they must either say
as the honorable manager says, that it is wholly im
material what opinion the ?resident formed, a nd tin
der what advice or under what circumstances he
formed it. or ehie itmust be admitted by Senators that
it is material, and the evidence must be considered.
Now, how is it possible at this stage of the inquiry to
determine which of these conclusions is to be taken
by the honorable Senate?
If the Senate should finally come to the conclusion
that it is wholly immaterial, thfe evidence will' do no
harts. If, on the other hand, the Senate should
finally come to the conclusion that it is material what
the intention of the Prestioent was in doing these acts,
and that they will examine to see whether It was or
not a wilful violation of the Constitution, what then?
It would have excluded the evidence upon which it
could have determined that question. I respectfully
submit. therefore, that whether the argument of the
honorable manager, is sound or unsound, whether it
will finally appear in the judgment of the Senate that
this evidence is material or not, this is not the time to
exclude it. rpon the ground that an examination of
the merits hereafter, and a decision upon those
merits, will show that it is immaterial: when that
is shown the evidence can be laid aside. If the
other conclusion should he arrived at by any one
:senator. or by the body, then they will he
le want of this evidence Which we now offer. In
ieference to t his question, Senators, it is not pertinent.
I do not intend to enter into the constitutional in
quiry which was started yesterday by the honorable
manager, Mr. Butler, as to the_particulair character of
the Cablnet council. One thing Is certain, that every
President, from the origin of the government, has re
sorted to or," conversation With his Cabinet. and oral
dierussion in his presence, questions of public im
portance arising in the course of his offiCial duty.
Another thing is apparent: that le, although the writ
ten letter remains, and therefore it would appear with
some certainty what the advice of a Cabinet council
Was if it were put in, yet every prtc'ical min who haa
had connection with the business affairs of life, every
lawyer, every legislator, knows that there is no satis
tactory mode of bringlng out the truth as an oral dis
et' Bei on f acafto face with those who are interetted in the
subject: that is the most satisfactory mode of arriving
at a conductor', and that solitary written opinions,
composed in a closet, away from the collision between
irien,which brines out new thoughte,new conceptions,
more accurate views, is not the best mode of arriving
at a sonclueion, and tinder the influence of this
Ibe prictical consideration undoubtedly is
this habit, beginning with General
NVashington, lot becoming universal by
any means until Jefferson's time, but from that
day to tide, this habit has been formed. President
Johnson found it in existence when he went into
(lice. He continued lt. and I therefore say that
when the question of his intention comes to be con"
.iciered by the Senate, when the question' arises in
their minds whether the President honestly believed
that.tnielwas an unconstitutional law, when , the par
ticular ,exigencies arise, when, it he carried out or
obeyed that law :he must quit the powers which he
believed we.econferred upon him by the Constitu
tion. and not be able to carry on the departments of
the government in the mariner the public interests re
tieired--when these questions arise /or the consider
s'loll of the Senate, then they ought to have before
them the fact that he acted by the advice of the usual
end proper advisers, that he resorted to the last means
within hie reach to form a full opinion upon this sub•
ject, and that therefore it is a fair conclusion that
when he did form that opinion. it was an honest and
xed opinion, which he felt he must carry out into
practice if the proper occasion should arise. It is in
this point of view, and this point of view only, that
We offer this evidence.
The honorable Senator from Michigan (Mr. Howard)
tqts proposed kquestion to the counsel for the Pres'.
dent. It is this: "Do the counsel for the accused
not eon-Ider that the validity of the tenure-of-office
bill was purely a question of law?" I atudi answer that
;,.irt of tee iip;o:stion limit. The constitutional validity
.t .in.t law le of wane purely a question of law. It
depends upon a comparison of the provisions of the
hitl. With a law enacted by the people for the gov
ernment of their agents It depends upon whether these
scents have tran-cended the authority which the Peo
ple gave: and that comparison of the Constitution
with the law is in the sense in which it was intended
by the Serator. The nest branch of the question is:
"Whether that question is to be determined in the
t fiat by the Senate , : That is a qrkstion I cannot an
-wer That is a question that can beditermined only
iry the Senate themselves. If the Senate should find
that Mr. Stanton's case was not within this law, theft
ho such question arises. Then there is no question in
this particular ease of a conflict between this law and
the Constitution.
If the Senate should find that-these articles charged
the r resident that it is necessary for the Senate to be
lieve that there was some act of turpitude on his part,
connected with this matter, some mala fides, some
had intent, and that he did honestly believe, as he
prates in his answer, this was an unconstitational law;
that a case having arisen when he must act accord
ingly. ender his oath of office- if the Senate comes
to that conclusion, it is immaterial whether this was
a constitutional or an unconstitutional law. Be it one
or be it the other, be it true or fhlse that the
President has committed an offense by his interpret% -
t ion of the law, he has not committed an impeachable
offense, as 4 charged by the House of Representa
tives, and as we must advance beyond this question
before we reach the third question that the <Senator
propounds, there isnot necessity for the Senate to de
ermin e that question.
The residue of the question is— Do they consider
that the opinions of Cabinet officers touching that
question --that is. the constitutionality of the law
- is competent evidence, by which the judgment of
the Senate ought to be influenced ?" Certainly not.
We do not put them on the stand as experts on gaol
dons of constitutional law. The judges will deter
mine that out of their own breasts. We put them on
the stand as advisers of the President, to state what
advice, in point of fact. they gave him, with a view to
show that he was guilty of no improper intent to
violate the Constitution.
In reply to the question of the honorable Senator
from Michigan (Mr. Howard), as to why we should
put members of the Cabinet on the stand, I would say
that we put them on the stand for the same purpose
as the Senator when practicing law has frequently
put lawyers on the stand. A man is proceeded against
by another for an improper arrest, or for a malicious
prosecution, anti it is necessary to prove malice. It
no proper cause is proved, malice is inferable; but it
is perfectly well settled that when the defendant can

wish to show here that the President called for the
opinions of his advisers, and acted upon that ad
vice.
