VHI72, IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
Closing A lids ese of Judge Nelson,
Mr. Nelson, of the President's counsel, said:
alt, Chief Justice and reenters', I have been engaged
in the practice of my protesolon, as a lawyer for the
)set ii,t) yea's. ale I haws, in the course of my

from murder in the first degree down
to a simple assault, but in rising to address

insignificance when compared to this, and a Painful

that I am utterly incapable of comprehending its re
mete, sad that I cannot look into the future and for
tel'ltlem. I feel tbnt it will benecessary Open thisocca-
Eon for me to notice ninny things whim, as I sip
pose. have but little bearing upon the specific art cies
of impeachment which have been presented ; and in
trimof
eo to follow the lanenage of Mr. Wirt epon the
rim of Judge Chase; if I follow the argument of the
honorable n onager more closely than would , seem
necessary to some of the Court, it will be remembered
that it avonld seem presainotuons to slight any topic
'which the learned and honorable managers have
deem' d it proper to preed upon the consideration of
the Court.
It has teen charged that the President was trifling
with the Senate., Scarcely. had he entered upon this
trial before charges were made against him of seeking
improperly to gain time, to effect an unworthy and
improper procrastination. I shall dwell but a moment
upon that • We supposed that there was nothing im
proper in oureeking at the hands of the Senate a rea
sonable indulgence to prepare our defense. When
the subject of impeachment had been before the House
of Representatives in sonic form for more than a
twelvemonth, and when the House or the managers
were armed at ell points, and ready to contest the case
am the ore band, we upon the other were sudden
ly summoned from our protessional pursuits —we, who
arenot politicians, but lawyers., engaged in the prac
tice of our profession, to measure arms' with gentle
men who are skilled in patted), affairs, and who are
well posted upon all the subjects that may be involved
In this discussion. Bat it is not merely the complaint
as to delayine and trifling with the Senate that it will
become my duty to notice. A great many things have
been said, add among the rest an attempt has been
made to stigmatize the President as a traitor to hie
party as disgracing the position held by some of the
most illustrious In the land, as a dangerous person, "a
criminal, but not an ordinary one," and as encourag
ing murder, assassination and robbery all over the
Southern States, and finally by way •of proving that
there is but one step between the sublime and the
ridiculous, as bandying ribald epithets with a jeering
mob. My, exenee for ' noticing these charges,
which havelbeen made here in the progress of this
investigation, is, that nothing has been said in vin
dication of the President from them. It will be my
feenators,k to pay some attention to them to-day.
We have borne it long enough, and I propose, before
I enter upon the investigation of the articles of im
peachment, to pay some attention to those accusa
tions which have been heaped upon ns almost every
day from the commencement of the trial, and which
have been paesed unanswered and unnoticed on the
part of the President of the United States.
If it is true, as is alleged, that the President isguil
ty of all these things ; if he be as guilty of one tithe of
she offeeses which have been imputed to him in the
opening argnnent of yesterday and to-day, then I am
willing to confess that he is a monster of each fright
ful mien "that to be, hated needs but to be seen.' I
am willing to admit tbat if he was guilty of any of
the charges that have been made against him, be is
not only worthy of the censure of this Senate, but
you should
"Please whip in every honest hand,
And lash the scoundrel naked through the land."
Be should be pointed at everywhere as amonster to
he banished from society, and his name should be
tome a word to frighten children with through the
land from one end to the other, and when any one
should inset him or see him, "Bach particular hair
should stand on end, like quills on the fretful per
stepinee."-
If h was, then I agree that neither I nor those as
sedated with me can defame him. But who is An
drew Johnson? '
. who is this man it tt you have on
trial now, in regard to idiom the gaze, not "of little
Delaware," but of the whole Union and of the civil
iaed world, is directed at the present moment; who is
Andrew Johnson?
That is a question which but a few short years ago
many of those 1 now address could have answered
with pleasure. Who is Andrew Johnson? Go to the
town of Greenville, but a few short years ago, a little
village in the mountains of Bast Tennessee, and you
will see a poor boy entering that village--a stranger
without acquaintances or friends, following an
hamble mechanical pursuit, scarcely able to read,
nimble to write, but yet industrious in his profession,
honest and faith ul In his dealings, and having a
mind such as the God of Heaven implanted in him,
and which was designed to be called into excrete° and
play before the American people.
Be enters the State of Tennessee, arriving poor,
penniless, without the favor of the great, but scarce
had he set his foot upon her soil, when he was seized
and caressed with parental fondness, embraced as
though he had been a favorite child. and patronized
with liberal and fond beneficence. In the first place
the people of his country honor him by giving him a
meat in the lower Legislature; next he ascends to a
seat in the Senatei then to the House of Representa
tives of the American Congress; then, by the voice of
the people, he was elected Governor of the tatate; then
be was sent to the Senate of the United States, and
his whole career thus tar has been a career in which
he has been Denoted and respected by the people, and
it has only been within two or three years that charges
bare been preferred against him, such as those which
*represented now. Never since the charges of War
ren Hastings, never since the charges of Sir Walter
Raleigh. has any man been stigmatized with more
severe reprobation than the President of the United
States.
• All:the powers of invective which the able and in
genious managers can command have been brought
into requisition to Are your hearts and to prejudice
year minds against him. A perfect storm has been
raised around hen. All tbo elements have been agi
ted.
fa
"Prom peak to peak. the rattling crags along,
Leaps the live thunder.
Not from one lone crowd,
But every mountain now bath found a tongue,
And Jura answers through her misty shroud,
Back to the joyons Alps, who call to her aloud."
This storm is playing around him, the pitiless rain
is beating upon him, the lightnings are flashing upon
him, and, I have the pleasure to state to you, Senators,
to-day, and I hope my voice will reach the whole
eonntry. that he still stands Arm, unbroken, unawsd,
tusterrilled. No wads of menace at the Senate of the
United States, threatening no civil war to deluge his
ssnntry with blood, but feeling a proud consciousness
able own integrity, appealing to heaven to witness
the purity of his motives in his public administration,
and callivg upon you,, Senators, in the name of the
living /30d, to whom you have made a pledge that you
will do equal and impartial justice in this case accord
ing to the . Constitution and the laws, to pronounce
him innocent of the offenses charged against him.
Are there not Senators here whose minds go back to
the stining timea of 1860 and 1861, when treason was
rile in , this Capitol—when men's faces turned pale—
when dispatch after dispatch was sent from this
Chamber to tire the heart of the Southern people and
prepare the Southern mind for that revolution which
agitated our country, and which cost the lives and
treasure of the nation to such an alarming extent ?
Where was Andrew Johnson then? Standing here
*been within ten feet of the place at which I now
stand, solitary and alone in this magnificent chamber,
when bloody treason flourished o'er us, his voice was
heard arousing the nation. Some of you heard its
notes' as they rolled from one end of the land to the
ether, arousing the patriotism of our ecenitry—the
only man from the South who was disposed to battle
leggiest treason then, and who now is called a traitor
himself. He who has periled his life in a thousand
forms to put down treason; he who has been reckless
of danger;' he who has periled his life, his fortune,
and hie sacred honor to save its life from destruction
and ruin, now is stigmatized and denounced as a
tented', and from one end of the land to the other
that accusation has ntng until tho echoes even come
back tto the Capitol here, intending' if posibie to in
flaenceibe judgment of the Senate.
Is Andrew Johnson a man who is disposed to be
trey any trust reposed in him? A man who has, on
all occasions, been Nunn standing by he neighbors,
standing by his friend's, standing by his country; who
lumneen found on all occasions worthy of the high
confidence and trust that has been reposed in him. I
Intone .Senators,that when I state these things in your
presence and in your bearing, I may extort but a smile
of derision among some of those who differ with him
in'opinion. I know that an unfortunate difference of
opinion exists between the Congress of the United
States' and the President, and in attempting to ad
dress you upon some of the very questions through
which this difticulty arose and I prayalmighty God to
direct me and lead me aright, for I believe in this
preeence to-dsy'that my distinguiebed client is inno
cent of thecharges preferred against him and hope
that God's blessing, which hats followed him thus tar
balite, will follow him now, and that he will come out
of the fiery furnace unscathed.
Who is Andrew Johnson? Why, Senators, when
the bottle of Builjlan was fougbt—when our trove
were driven hack defeated, and were pursued in haste
and conewien to the capital—when men's faces tinned
pale aneatheir hearts faltered—where was Andrew
Johneen then? With a resolution undismayed, and
lUffaileribilb believing in the justice of the great eanee
in which the country wars engaged, his voice wad
be here, proclaiming to the, whole country get to
the whole word the objects and puroosee of the war.
Theo it was that hie voice was holed among the
neldestof those who declared it the purpose of Con
-gran tbstatd by and distend the Constitution, and to

peseible for yen to do it; to place yonreelves In An

I know that this is netting a great deal at your
hands. It is asking a great deal of men who hive

to review their opinions, and especially where they
differ from . those of the man whom they are
to judge. lot. I know I am not addreseida
such aeenate as the honorable managers spoke of the
other day. I am not addressing politicians I
feel that I am addressing judges—toe most eminent
judges, known to law and to the Constitution of the
country- judges sitting upon thd greatest trial known
to the Constitution; and though we all know and feel
wbat.is the power of passions, and prejudices, and
preconceived Opinion, and how difficult it is to lay
their influence aside, yet, ;Senators, I would respect
ful), and most humbly invoke yi 11, in the mane of that
God before whom you have sworn to judge impar
tially, to endeavor to ban eb, as far as possible, all pre
conceived emotions and all politics, and rise to the
dienity of judge and the high ',lenity of this great
occasion. I would even ask you to rise to that super
human God like effort which she 1 enable you to
banish these opinions, and perform that impartial
justice which you have sworn 10 db. I would say now
SS ever to the American people, belie , ,o that the
Senate of the American nation are honest and honora
ble men, and in every time of trial and danger, when
the billows of excitement roll high, when men's pas
stone are aroused and agitated to the highest degree,
look to the Senate with hope and confidence; to those
men who are In some degree elevated above de
pendence upon mere popular clamor, look to the
Senate with confidence, and;thus locking, thus hoping,
your hope shall not be in vain.
Shoe tt ie that I shall endeavor to address yon on
this occasion. It. is with this hope and influenced
by these cos sideratione that I now approach some of
the other to pica which claim our attention. I ask
you again, if
Presidento place yonrseivee in the con
dition of the of the United States, and
divest yourselves, as fur as you can--and I agree that
it requires an almost superhuman effort to do it—of
all preconceived opinions, and place yourself in his
condition and place. Then as to his life as a poli
tician. Who is the President of the United States?
Why, a Democrat of the strictest sect and Most strict
construction; an old Jackson, Jeffertioni an Democrat;
a man who proclaimed his Democracy In the very teeth
of acceptance which he wrote at the time when nom
inated for the office of Vice-President of the United
states, and you and the whole country were toll that
be was a Democrat, and he endeavored to, rouse the
old Democratic party to what he called the pare and
correct doctrines of Democracy, and to stand by the
country in the great conflict In which it was engaged.
When we look at this, and examine the records of
Congress and thdliflebates, and look at hie record on
every question in which the Constitution of the
United States was involved, where do you 'find the
President?
.you find him, under all circumstances,
as a strict constructionist of the Constitution, ad
hering with strict tenacity to the principles and
spirit of the Constitution, and of that party faith in
which he had been trained; and when you look at the
great difference between him and the House of Rep
resentatives upon the great questions which agitate
the country, yet, Senators, I ask you if he may not
entertain an opinion different from your own without
blame? Do accord to him something of that freedom
of opinion which you accord to every man on Vial.
Accord to him something of the privileges which is
accorded to the meanest criminal. Accord to him
the presumption that he is innocent until he is de
dared guilty.,
Look at his motives. Look at the manner in which
be has acted, and if there has been an unfortunate dif
ference between him and the Congress of the United
States upon great constitutional questions, why at
tribute that difference if you please, to the training,
to the education, to the habits of thought of his whole
life, but do not attribute it, in the absence of proof, to
unworthy, base; dishonorable, mean motives, as you
are asked to do upon the other side. I beg leave,
Senators, to remind you of the resolution to which
I adverted a moment ago . ; for in the view which I
take of this case, that resolution furnishes a key
to the whole conduct of the President in the con
troversy out of which the unfortunate proceedings has
arisen.
That resolution, adopted in 1861, declares that Con
gress, in the prosecution of the war for the suppres
sion of the rebellion, will recollect only its duty to the
whole country, that the war is prosecuted in no spirit
of revenge, nor for the purpose of overthrowing any
of the institutions of the country, but to defend the
Constitution and all laws made in pursuance therof,
and to preserve the dignity, eqUality and rights of ail
the States impartially, and that as the ends were ac
complished the war should cease. There is the chart
which has guided the President of the United States
in the oischarge of his official duty. There is the
platform upon which he has stood, and if he has not
viewed it in the light in which others have regarded
it, still I ask if it is not capable of being regarded in
the light in which he has viewed it?
If it is, then I claim that we shall remove from this
prosecution all idea of improper motives, and I de
clare that, in view of the testimony offered on the
other side; in view of all that ie known to the coun
try, with the exception of one single instance, the
President of the United States has stood up, in letter
and in spirit, to what he believes to be the doctrine of
this resolution, which was adopted wi h all but perfect
unanimity by the two houses of Congress in 1800. In
the progress of the war he felt it necessary for him to
yield the question of slavery so far as he had any in
fluence in the section of country in which he resided,
and that he did yield.
Ile went as far as the farthest in proclaiming
emancipatirin in the State over which he was placed
as Military Governor, and in other respects he has en
deavored to tarry out that resolution in the spirit in
which it Wiaintroduced by the venerable Crittenden,
whose memory will lie respected by those of you who
know him,' and as long as America shall have a
name. so long as talent, genius and in , ependence,
faithfulness and firmness hall be venerated, so long
will the name of that great and good man be honored
in our own and other laude--who declared in the res
elution which be :offered, that the war was prose
cuted not for the purpose of conquest or subjugation,
but that the dignity and equality and rights of all the
States should be impartially maintained.
Do not misunderstand, Senators. It is not my par
pose to enter into any discussion on the difference of
opinion between the President and Congress in regard
to the reconstruction policy which has been pursued
by them. I only advert to it for the purpose of show
ing that 'there was a pledge of equality of rights to be
preserved in 1860 and 1501, when the galleries of the
Senate Chamber rang with the applause of the multis
tude, "when fair women and brave men" were not
ashamed to express their admiration and gratitude for
him who is now on trial before you for the course ho
then took, while he had advocated a doctrine which
was exceedingly obnoxious to the Southern people.
What was it? It was thatthe Congress of the United
States bad the power to compel obedience to the Con -
stitution and laws of the United States; he denounced
the doctrine of secession, and denied that any State
bad the right to withdraw from the Union without the
consent of all the States.
He insisted that the great power of the government
should be brought into requisition to keep these States
within the Union. And when the war was over, when
Lee bad surrende r ed; When the government of the
United States was cast upon him suddenly and unex
pectedly--in the sudden emergency in which he was
called upon to act hastily and speedily, so as to bring
war to a termination as soon as possible, what did he
do? There wasoo time to call Congress together no
time to assemble the representatives of the nation;
and such was the state of the country as to demand
immediate and prompt action. What did-the Presi
dent of the United States do? The President under
took to carry out what he believed to be the policy of
his lamented predecessor. I ask who can say there
was guilt in that? , Yon may differ in opinion, you
may think he was wrong--undoubtedly a large ma
jority of this Senate believe conscientiously that he
was wrong, but still do you believe you can deprive
him of the claim of honesty and integrity?
Is a judge to be tried because he mistakes the law
in a charge to a jury? I need not turn to authority.
I need not,read law books to satisfy you that any man
acting in a judicial capacity, from a simple justice of
the peace to the chief justice of the highest court in
the United States, is protected by the laws while in
the faitbfhl and honest exercise of the judgment
which is conferred upon him. You hear a great deal
about the doctrine of implied pbwer, and I shall have
occasion to speak of that more in another part of my
remarks, but let me put one plain, simple question to
the Senate, and to the whole country.
Can any man put his finger upon any sentence or
clause in the Constitution of our country which Bays
- who is to restore the relation of peace in the land
when they have been disturbed by a civil war? You
have the power to suppress rebellion, but the moment
you go beyond the language of the Constitution you
make use of an implied power; and tbo moment yau
admit the doctrine of implication, then I maintain
that that doctrine is just as applicable to the Presi
dent of the United States as to any Senator or Repre
sentative.
I ask this question again; I know whom I inn ad
dressing: I know the intelligence and the high re
spectability of, character of this great tribunal, and
I put thes question with fearless confidence to every
Senator: Where does he find the power in the Con
stitution to pass your reconstruction laws under the
power to suppress insurteetion? Where, unless under
those general powers by which the war was carried on,
and under which it is declared that the government
has the inherent right to proteet itself against disso
lution? and in the name of law and justice that you
inaugurate here in this chamber, and inscribe over the
doors that are the entrance here; I ask you in the
name of law, and order, and justice, where do you get
this power if not from implicatm? '
The Constitution is silent; it(one not say that Con
gress shall pass lwas to reconstruct States that have
been in rebellion; it does not say that the President of
the United States shall do this. You are obliged to
resort, to implication. Ile is the commander in-Chief
of the army and navy in time of war, Peace had not
ben declared when these measures of itis were under
taken. it was necessary to protect the country
:against the ruinthat was likely to follow in thetwake

that belorged to him upon hie _own judgment, as
commander in-chief of the army and navy, and if hi
misconceived his duty or hie power; if he fell ieto aft
error, into which yon may say Mr. Lincoln, hie
lamented predecessor, bad Wien, let me ask you_
gentlemen, to there to he no charity. no toleration, hp
' liberality for a difference of opinion?
Now Senators, I maihtain that this cursory glance
at the bietory of the country, And at the difference of
opinion that exists between Congress and the Presi
dent is sufficient to show that be wan animated oy core
rect and upright motives, and that ho °flat not to he
judged in the spirit in which the honorable
n 413 ask that he shall he 'ridged. His acts ought
net to be taken as an evidence that he intended con
trary to what he deemed to be his duty under the cir-
CUMsterKiee.
Now, without discussing this question further, but
merely for the purpose of calling the attention of
Senators to the subject, I beg leave to remind them,
as I have already done, that according to Mr. Stan
ton's own testimony, in another investigation which
has been published under the authority and ssnetion
of Congress, the President of the United States en
deavored to carry out what ho believed to bethe policy
of Mr. Lincoln. I will refer you to some dates and
circumstances in connection with this,•and I shall
n ease from it wPhout undertaking to dieense tuts
merits of differences of opinion between the Senate
,and the President. • I only do so for the purpose of
relieving him from the charge of being a usurper, a
traitor, a tyrant, and a man guilty of every crime
known under heaven.
Now, Mr. Lincoln, in his proclamation of the Bth of
Jnly, 1864, stated that while he had failed to oppose
the first reconstruction bill passed by Congress, yet he
expressed an unwillingness to set aside the Constitu
tions of Arkansas and t Louisiana. And in his eman
cipation proclamation of 1863 he invited the rebel
States to form now Constitutions, to be adopted by
not less than one tenth in nomeer of the votes cast
in each State at the Presidential election of 186 0 , each
having taken the-oath prescribed by his proclamation.
Mr. Johnson, as you know, when he came into
power, recur nized Governor Pierpoint as the Gov
ernor of West Virginia, which the Congress `of the
United States thought (and rightly) was sufficiently
well organized to justify them in consenting to the
formation of a new State.
That State was recognized as a State under an elec
tion held by the people. Under that election West
Virginia was formed into a new State, and nil this
was done, if I am not misinformed, without any act of
reconstruction being passed by the Congress of the
United Stater , . Now, when the Presidt tit came into
power; when he saw that the Congress of the United
States had recognized and accepted West Virginia as
a State, was he not justified in the belief that he was
pureuint not only the policy of Mr. Lincoln and the
party that elected him to power, but the policy of the
Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States? Let me now call your attention to the fact
that between the 29th of May and the 10th of July,
1865, lie appointed Provisional Governors for North
Carolinas Miesissipm, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, South
Carolina and Florida. \
Vow one other thought and I leave this branch of.
the subject On the 2uth of August. 1866, the Presi
dent of the United States proclaimed the rebellion at
an end, and on the 2d of March, 1867. an act was ap
proved, entitled "An act to provide for a temporary
increase of the pay of officers in the army of the
United States, and forother purposes." By the sec
ond section of that act it is enacted that section one
of the ant entitled "An act to increase the pay of sol
diers in the United States army, and for other par
poses, approved June 20, 1864, be and \ the same is
hereby continued in full force and effect fee three years
from and after the close of the rebellion, ati announced
by the President of the United States by proclama
tion bearing date the 20th day of August, 1866. There
, is a legislative recognition rat the fact that the war is
at an end. There is a recognition of the President's
powerso to proclaim it, and without discussing these
questions, for I have said I will not enter upon the
discussion of them, I advert to it. and my reason for
alluding to it is, by the remarks, I might say the re
peated remarks that have been made by the honorable
mutineers that this did not show that this legislative
recoenitiop of the President's psoclamatlon announc
ing the termination of the civil war. and the close of
the rebellion was a recognition of the facts that the
Southern States were not out of the Union, and that
it goes far to extenuate, if not to justify the view
which the President took in reference to the restora
tion of the States to their harmonious relations with
the government of the country.
And now, Senators, having disposed to some extent
but not entirely, of these personal charges made
against the President, and having reviewed briefly
and imperfectly something of his personal and politi
cal history, I invite you to look back upon the record
of his whole life and his name.
I ask you, I ask the country to-day to remember
his course. We appeal with proud confidence to the
whole country to attest the purity and integrity of his
motives, and while we do not claim that Misjudgment
is infallible, or that he may not have committed error
—and who in his position may not commit great.and
grievous errors—while we claim no such attributes as
thee°, we do claim before the Senate and before the
world that be is an honest man; that he is a man of
integrity, of pure and upright motives, and notwith
standing the clamor that has been raised against him.
be appeals to the judgment of this Senate and the
world to vindicate him.
Mr. Chief Justice and Senators--One of the first
and most important questions in my view is a ques
tion which 1 have barely touched in passing along,
but have not attempted to notice at length. Tout
question is, what sort of a tribunal this is? Is it a
Court or not?
I think I am not asking too much at the hands of
the Senate when I ask to be heard on this subject.
It was argued by the honorable manager who opened
this cause that this is a mere Senate. It is a Court. I
will call your attention to a single paragraph: or two
in the argument of the learned manager who has
managed this case with such consummate tact and
ability on the side of the proeecution, and from whom
we have bad so many fine examples of the decency and
propriety of speech.
He says: "We claim and respectfully insist that
this tribunal has none' of the attributes of a judicial
court as they are commonly received and understood.
Of course this question must be largely determined by
the express provisions of the Constitution, and in it
there is no word, as it is well known to yen, Senators,
which 'gives the slightest coloring to the idea that this
is a court, save that in the trial of this particular rea
pondent that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
xi net preside." That question has been confirmed
again in argument by others. and pamphlets, I had al
most said volumes. have been written on this subject
in the learned arguments which have been presented
to the Senate, and through the newspapere to the pub
lic. Gentlemen, in their research, have gone hack to
the black-letter learning of the English law books to
search for precedents and authorities in reference to
this question, and have assumed this as the result,
that this is a High Court of Impeachment, possessing
all the powers of a court of impeachment in Ragland;
that it is to be governed by the same rules and regu
lations: that you arc not to go to common law for pre
cedents to guide your judgment, but that you are, in
the language of the gentleman on the other side, "a
law unto yourself." Let us consider this arguments
moment.
,My first position is this: I deny, that you are to go
according to a law of Parliament, because .I maintain
that this tribunal is different from any other that has
ever existed—no such tribunal is known in history.
It never had a parallel. You are to interpret the Con
etitution not in the light of English history alone, but
in the light of the circumstances under which' it was
adopted. I do not say that you are to ignore history,
nor the precedents given us by the English Parlia
ment, or that have been made in English'stouns of
justice. What I do say is this, that upon some sub
jects it is perfectly right and proper to go to English
history and English law books with a view to inter
pret Him phrases and terms known to English law
which have been incorporated into our Constitution,
but it never will afford any clue to this investigation
or throw any light on the subject. Why? Because
this tribunal has no exemplar in the history of the
world. It le a tribunal of the American Constitu
tion, and we must loos to the language of
time Constitution, in order to ascertain what it
means. I ask (and I hope the Chief Justice will not
take offence at my phraseology) whether it was the in
tention of the framers of the Constitution that the
Chief Justice of the United States should be called
down from the moat elevated tribunal on the face of
the earth to preside over your deliberations, and when
ho comes here, he shall have ho more power than any
ordinary spleker of an ordinary House of Repreeenta
tives and hardly so much--a machine through which
the votes of the Senate are to pass to the records of
the country. I insist that there was a high object and
purpose intended by the framers of the Constitution
when they called the Chief Justice from his elevated
position to preside ever the deliberations of the Senate
Tberswae an object and a purpose such as never •was
attained in English history, an object such as was
unknown to the British Constitution, and I contend,
therefore, that it was not intended by the framers of
the Constitution, that the Chief Justice was to be -a
mere cipher in this trial. You will recollect, Senators,
that when the Constitution was about to be formed
there were various plans of government eubtaittei.
Colonel Hamilton introduced a plan of government,
the ninth section of which provided that the:Gov
ernor, Senators, and all officers of the United States
should be liable to impeachment for malfeasance
and corrupt conduct, and that on impeachment
the person convicted should he removed from
office and disqualified from holding any office of
trust or profit under the United States—all im-,
peachments were to, be tried by a court to con
sist of the chief or senior judge of the Superior Court
of law in each State; provided that such judge held
his place dunng good behaiiior and had a permanent
solely. That plan was introduced in the Convention
on the 18th et June, 1787, and It' is found in the fret
volume of Elliott's Debates on the Federal Conetitu-
Mon, page 108. Mr. Randolph bad a plan ofgovern
.
meat, the thirteenth propoeition of which was that the
jurisdiction of the national judiciary should extend, to
canes of impeachment of any nationat ogieer and
to questions involving the national pence .and'har
mony. Tait was introduced on the 19th • of 'Jane,
1787, and Is sot out in &et Elliott's Debates, . page
162.- In Mr. I.:butes Pinekney's plan, introduced
that of May, 1787, it was provides that the jprisdle
thin of the court, to be termed the Supreme, Ceurt
should extend to the trial or impeachment of Officers
'of the United States. Mr. Madison prefetfed the
Supreme Court for the trial of tropeaeldnents, or
rather a tribunal of which that court should' form a
part. laile'Jeffesson. in his letter of 2201Februlary,
4788, to Mr: -Madison, alludes to an attempt to have a
:jury, irial of impeachments (fourth volume of Jeffer
aen'e Works, .216), and Mr. {Hamilton, in the Piderai

Ile adds that. to fi certain extent,' the henctlts of that.,
union-would be obtained by making' , the 'Chief :Jues'T;
tiro of the Supreme Court President of the , Court 'of :
Impeachment: as was proposed..
So far as we have examined this elnestion, it does
rot appear when nor how 'these words—"when the
President of the United States is tried the Chief Jus
tice shall preside"—were inserted in the Coustiteition.
No doubt you are much better informed on the subject •
than myself.
I Dave read and seen it stated that they must have
been introduced by a conference committee, and that
that fact is shown by Mr. Madison's writings, but in
• the searches which I have been able to make in the
Pboit time during which this investlgntion has been
going on, I have not been•able to ascertain whether
that is so or not. So tar as Ido comprehend or un
derstand
it, I maintain the following proposition, t"
'which I respectfully ask the attention of the Chief
Justtoe himself, and alsrethe attention of the Senate:
I shall not dwell upon it at any great length, hut
leave it to you, Senators, and to the Chief Justice, to
•judgefor yourselves whether it is founded on sound
,reasten. First, I hold that the law of Parliament fur
nishes no satisfactory explanation of thermion of tne
f Mei Justice with the Senate on imreachment trials.
That explanation must be found in the circumstances
under which the Constitution was formed. 1 think
it is one of the.most important considerations in
the investigation of this great question. You have
seen that one of the plane was to have impeachment
tried by a court to be composed of judges from each of
the States; another plan was to have them tried by
.the Supreme Court or the • United • States. Another
plan was to have the emprerne Court of the United
States associated with the Senate in the trial. Every
ono of these plans you will perceive looked to judicial
aid and assistance in the trial of the cause, and when
it was finally determined that the Chief Justice should
; preside, I imagined that it was determined that be
should come here as a ledge, that he should come
:here clothed as be is in his robes of office, that he
should declare the law and pronounce a judlcial
iopinion upon every question arising in the case.
While I know it is for your Honor to determine for
:yourself what conree you will pursue, while I do
not presume to dictate to this honrable Court or to the
Chief Justice who presides over it, for it is my prey
ince to argue, and it is - your province to decide and
determine. Ido respectfully insist, before the Senate
and before the world, that I have a right, as one of
the counsel for the President, to call, as Ido call,
upon the venerable Chief Justice, who presides over
your deliberations, for an expression of his judgment
• and opinion on any question of law that may arise,
and now, in . the name of common sense, does
this doctrine of mine trench in the slightest
degree ' upon any - . right of the American
Senate? Does it chnflict with any duty, or
with any power imposed upon you by the Censtitn
tion of our common'country. Is it, I ask, any dis ,
paragement even to the American Senate to respect
fully request of him that he shall deliver an opinion
' to yon upon any question that may arise in this case?
And then. Senators, it will hem for you to judge and
determine for yourselves, under such an opinion.
Whatever may be the opinion you have formed, I
insist that so far from being an argument in diaper
' agemcnt either of thepower or of the intelligence of
the Senate, it loan argument which. in its nature, is
calculated .to aid the Senate ne st:court et• in
arriing at a- correct.. conclusion; and t bold
that no man who regards the Constitution
and the law of the 'land—no man who is In
search of justice—no man who is willing to 'see the
. law faithfully and honestly, and impartially admin is
ten d; can for one moment deny the right of this great
Civil Magistrate, clothed in his judicial robes, and
armed with all the power and authority - of the Con
stitution, to declare what he believes to be the law on
questions arising in this case. When you look at the
clause of the Constitution nnder which this power
is conferred you see that every word in it Is a tech
nical word. The Senate shall try the impeachment,
and on this trial they shall be on oath or -aillrma
, tion, and the Chief Justice shall preside
I do not quote the words literally, but
they are familiar to you all. What is the meaning of
the word " trial ?" The word " trial " is a word dear
o every Englishman ; it is a word dear to every
American ; it conveys the idea of a judicial trial, or
trial in which a judge is to preside at the trial, in
which a man, skilled and learned in the law, and sap
posed to be a man of independence, is to preside. it
is a proceeding dear to every Englishman, and dear to
every American, because for centuries in England.
and Once the formation of the government here,it haa
berm regarded as essential to the preservation of the
liberty of the citizen that a trial shall be thus con
ducted, with all, the aid of judicial
interpretation that can he obtained.
So the word "Chief Justice,'' as used in that phrase
In the Constitution, is a technical word. What does
it mean? It means a judicial officer. The Constitu
tion does not say in so many would that a judicial
tribunal shall be created in which there shall be a
Chief Justice. It authorized Congrers to create
judicial tribunals,it took for granted that there would
be a court; it assumed that in that court there would
be a Chief Justice, and that he should be a Judge,
and when it assumed that he should act in that ca
pacity, which 'insist upon, without dwelling on the
argument further, I can only say that in the views
which I entertain of the question, I conceive it to be
ene of the most important questions . ever presented
to the consideration of this or any other country.
We all know, Senators, that eo far, this is the
first call under the American Constitution in which
the Senate has been called upon as a court of im
peachment to'try the Chief Magistrate of the land.
The precedent wiitaila you arc to form in this case, 11
our government survives the throes of revolution, and
continues undiminished and unimpaired to remote
posterity is one which will last for a thousand
year's 'l'be decision made now is osje which will be
quoted in after ages. and will be of the very highest
Importance. I maintain, therefore, that in the view
which has jest been presented, we have a right to call
upon the Chief Justice to act, not merely as a pre
siding officer, put to act as a judge on the conduct and
management of this trial. I have already noticed
acme startling and extramdinary propositions made
by the managers. Mr. Manager Bingham says that
"You are a rule and a law unto yourselves." Mr
Manager Butler claims that, as a constitutional tri
bunal, you are bound by no law, either statute o;
common. lie states further, that common tame and
current history may be relied upon to prove facts,
that is to prove the President's course of administra
tion; and further, that the momentous ques
tion is raised whether the Presidential office ought
in fact to exist. Senators, in the whole course of
American history I have never heard or seen three
such startling propositions as those which are in
sisted upon lay the honorable managers. They are
dangerous to liberty—they are dangerous to the per
petuity of the American Constitution and the Ameri
can government. They would overthrow every prin
ciple of justice and of law that is known in the civ
ilized world if they were carried out to the extent
which the honorable managers Insist upon. I
never heard or dreamed that In this land of
liberty, this land of law, this land where
we have a written Constitution, such doctrines
would be asserted here. if I do not miaunderstaad
the language used, the learned managers think that
this Senate has the power to set aside the Constitu
tion of the United States itself . Many of the most
eminent and learned writers in England and in our
country, when treating on the subject of the diatri
button of powers between the executive, legisla
tive andjudicial branches of the government, have
sounded the note of warning, that the danger is not
to be apprehended from the Executive, not to be ap
prthendtd from the Judicial department, bat le to be
apprehended from the encroachment of the House
of Commons, of the popular branch of the gov
ernment, and now we bear lerirned, and able; and dis
tinguished leaders of the House of Representatives,
the chief men of this impeachmerittrial, arguing that
the Senate has the right to judge and determine for
itself whether the provisions of the Conatitutiott shall
be maintained. Senatore, that Is not in conformity
with the healthful doctrine of the American Constitu
tion. The sovereignty of the land is nob in'you, it is
not in the President, it is not In the Chief Justice
It is in the American people, and they only can
alter their Constitution. No Senate, no House of
Representatives no Judiciary. no Congress can
alter the American Ceonatinition. I noticed'during
the trial that when one of the witnesses spoke of the
President of the United Stater) saying that he in
tended to support the Constitution of the country it
caused a universal smile in the Senate and galleries
That venerable instrument, established by the wiz.
dom of some of the bravest and /rust distinguished
men the world ever saw; that noble instrument.
which was purchased with the blood and treasure of
the 'Revolution, and which we have been accustomed
to regard with Peered reverence, seems to have been
so often trampled upon and violated in this land
that when somebody dares to mention it with
some of the reverence of ancient times, it excites
smiles of derision and laughter ; God ,arapt ; that a
more faithful sentiment may animate and inspire the
hearts cf the American people and that we will re
turn— now that the war bats passed away—back to
something of the veneration and respect for the
American Constitution, and that we will teach our
children, who are to come after na, to love, anr
:venerate, and respect it as the popular safe
guard of the country. ,which is not to lie treated
with anything abort of that respect anrivenezetion
and high reverence with which We baVe been ac
customed to regard it. But you are told that you are
to act on common fame- Is it possible that we hese
came to that? Is it possibie that this great impeach
ment trial has reached so lame and impotent a con•
elusion as that tbe honorable managers are a driven tau
the Pecessiiy of insisting . before you that common
fame is to be regarded as evalence by. Senators? I
hope it will not grate harshly on your oats when I
repeat the old and familiar adage that 'te.anion fame
is a common liar." Are Senators of the United

I do not believe that the American Senate will, for
one moment, cberish,any such doctrineor act upon it
in the slightest degree. It would prostrate all the
ramparts of the Conetitation. despoil the will oethe
American people, and engroas In the hands of the
United States all the powers that were intended to be
limited and distributed among the different depart
ment. of the government.
Another question. Mr.' Chief Justice, and it is a
question of very considerable Interest; it is mete what
ate crimes aid misdemeanors under the Conetitntlan.
I desire to remind the Senate and the Chief Justice
of a preposition which was asserted at an early period
in this trial, by one of the managers. / regretted
at the moment that I bad not answered it,,
but it is in the record and it is not too late
to give a peeing remark to it stow. The honorable
managers made use of the expreetion that 'The great
pulse of the nation bears perturbeetly. fitfully. pauses
when we panee,and goes forward when we go forward."
And we have been told time and time again, that the
honorable managers are acting for all the people of
the United States. I may have something to say
shout that, Senators. before I close my remarks which
I have to make, but I shall postpone the considera
tion of that for the preempt. Thebonorable managers
told you that "The public pulse beats perturb s 1y
that it pauses when you pause, and goes forward
when you go forward." And you bare been
told, time and time again, 'that tile people
out of doors ' are anxious fee the conviction of
the President of the United States. Permit me,
Senators, to be guilty of the indecorum almost
of say log one word about myself, and I am only doing
FO by way of , stating my argument. Inthe whole
conree of my profeneonal career, front the time I
clime tint a 3 OtUlg man to tractice law till the present
moment, 1 never had the impudence dr the preemp
tion to talk to a judge out of court aboat ary case in
which I was concerned. My arguments betore him
have always been made in court. I have had suineient
respect for the ledepaudence of the judges, before
whom I bad the honor to practice my profession to
(eke it for granted that they were men of hotter; men
of intelligence, and that -they would not hear
any remark whirl 1 should make to them out
of deem, end not in the preeence of my adversary.
Bre the doctrine here is that "the public pulse'beater
—Ab! have we come to that? is this care to be tried
before the greatest court in christendom, not upon
the law, not upon the evidence, not tinder the in
struction of the Chief Justice of the United States,
but to be tried on common nation and is it to become
Interesting, or to cease to be interesting, jnet ac
cording to the beating of the nubile pulse? What an
argument to advance to the American Senate! What
an argument put forward In the American station!
Why, all history teems with examples of the groat.
outrageous injustice which bag been done in criminal
trials. Trials In Parliament, and trials in corata of
justice-- aye, and our own country has not been
exempt from some notable instances of ' it, where
public clamor was allowed to influence the judgment
of the judges. Thom instances that are recorded in
histdry, these inetalicee of blood and of murder, of
outrage and wrong perpetrated in the name of justice,
are admonitione to us that the public pulse 'should
have nothing to do with this trial. '
Senators, regarding every man whom 'I address as
a judge, as a sworn judges allow me for one moment
to call your attention to one great trial in this wan
try, which I hope in some of its principles will be
applied by you in this. There wae a case which oc
curred in the early history of the American nation
where there was a great political trial, and where
the waves of political excitement ran high: It was
understood that the President of the United States
himself desired the conviction of the offender.
The public pulse beat fitfully then. It went
forward as the judge. went Leeward, 'and it
went backward as the judge went Mittman!, It
was a great occasion. It was one of the moat leas
trions trials that ever occurred in English or 'American
jurisprudence. 'There was a great criminal who was
mot ally '' entity indeed, for so he has beep held in the
judgment of posterity. There sat the fledge, one Of
the-illustrious predecessors of the illustrious and
distinguished gentleman who presides over your de. .
liberations now. There he sat calmeionesoyed,
unteeed by the public enise, the very impensoit
Won of justice, having no raode under:' hotness
except to administer the law and administer it faith
fully, and he had nerve and fineness to declare the
law in the fear of God rather than in the fear of 'man.
Although the criminal was aninittede and although
there, was SOMO popular clamor in reference to
the'acquittal,'yet,tbe .judgment 'of posteeity has
sanctioned the necorreetness of the judicial de.
termination, and every-' American citizen, who
has any regard for hie country, every . juelge and
every lawyer who has any respect for judicial
independence and Integrity, will back with ven
eration and respect to the name-,and to the conduct
of John Marshall, and so long as judicial lade
shall be admired, • so long as judicial in
tegrity shall bo respected, ,the name of John
Marshall will be esteemed in our own corm,
try and throughoet ' the Civilized world, as
, one of etbe , brightest , , luminaries of the
law, and one of the most faithful judges that ever pre
sided in e, court It is true , that clouds of du rknees
gathered around him frr the moment, but they soon
passed Away, and•were forgotten, *
"eilre acute tall cliff that Milts awful, form,
Swells to the gale, and midway meets the storm.
Though around its breast the roll!! g Moeda are
spread,: ..
Eternal sunishine settles on its bead."
Such was the name and Such the tame of John Mar
shall, and teed grant that his spirit may fall like the
mantle of Elijah on theillimitrionit,

LoetiON, April 28d, alkiniebt.—ln the House
of Lords to-night., Earls Buckingham and Caer
narvon eulogized the late lion. Thomas D'Arcy
Magee, of Canada.
In the House of Commons Ward Hunt, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, submitted the annual
budget. The revenue for the last fiscal year,
which had been tatituated at X 70,000,000, yielded
a fetal of ..69,600,1X10, failing about one-third of
a million below the estimate made by the gov
ernment. ;
The real expansion of the revenue amounted to
nearly ,Ceoo,ooo, ,The expenditures of the last
year, estimated at about X 71,850,000. fell .£50,000
short of that amouet. The eurplus of receipts
over the expendittmes, during the coming fiscal
year, is estimated by the Minister at 492,00 Q.
The cost of the A.bytelnitin war is (edit:Slated at
.05,000,000. Of this amount, a b awe of
Ca,OOO,OQO is to be met during the ensulog year.
ac follows: First—By the edclitiors of 2d. to the
rate of the income tux, which will realize nearly
Setnicl.;--Bv the issue of Exchequer
bilis to the am o unt eef t1.000;000 and thirdlq. by
the application of an attire. surplus of .C 920,
000. Thus the Minister estimates that he will
have .£700.0000r .000,000 more than he needs to
meet the expense of the war.
Mr. Gladstone_anade 00010, brief remarks on the
estimates submitted by the Ministry, and said he
preferred the imposition of an income tax to any
additions to the burdens on - trade. He thoUght
the cost of the Abyssinian war was underesti
mated, and esmsured the government for its in
creasing expenditures,. when effort should be
made to reduce.
Thomas Baring, member for Huntingdon,
urged the increase of customs duties.
M.r. Worth explained that the reduced estimate
of the ,exPeesesof the Aby s sinian war seem based
upon and fulfy' juatified by the greet reduction
in the transportation service.
Mr. Ward - Bunt defended the Budget from the
criticisms of Mr. Gladstone. The Home, Which
hati adopted the estimates last year, was respon
sible fer them. The Oatlaya foils and for the
navy, which had been neglected by the Liberals
when in power, were necessary, and could 'not
be avoided. The surplus of other years was re
duced that year by financial distress, bad crops
and a bad state of trade. consequently beyond
the control of the government. He asked for the
removal of the actual duty on tea, and moved
that the Committee of the Whole report to she
Donee on this subject on the 4th of &fay next.
The motion was agreed to, and the House ad
journed. •
In the House of Lords, a bill for the abolition
of church rates came up. Lord Derby spoke
against tilt bill. The Archbishops of Canterbury
and"fork, And the Bishop of London, opposed
the bill, but approved its passage to a tmcond
readipg. The speakera nil concurred lathe opin
ion that the present tendency of polities was to
wards the disestablishtnent of the Chureb. A
motion was made to refer the bill toe select com
mittee, bnt after a long debate , this was with
drawe, and the billtwas read a second time.
