    The originay puree of .all executive and
legislative perv:er is, Abe' same—the peo
ple; the warrant and lee - astir° of those
powers the samee,the Constitution. In
his constitutionol and legislative sphere,
in the exercise and conduct of his depart
ment, the President iti - as free to act and
as independent as Congress.
While acting within the bounds pre
scribed for it by the Constitution,• he is
op.:mare accountable or responsible to
Congresathan Congress is to him. Con
gress has no more authority to censure
and' condemn him than he has to censure
and condemn Congress. His discretion
exercised within the bounds of the Con
stitution, is no more subject- to the ani
madversion or reproof of Congress than
are. the .constitutional and discretionary
acts of. Congress to his. .
-Neither Congress or the President has
any porters or authority not derived from
and fated in the Constitution. The only
qneatfon ~with reference to which the
oommittee were authorized to enquire
was whither the charges against the
Frieldent were true; and constituted an
offense or offenses subjecting him to im
peachment. Certainly if this is not the
only.question referred to the committee,
it is the only question which the commit
tee, as such, hal investigated.
The political purpobse by the acts of the
President has not for one moment engag.
ed the attention of the committee. We
most certainly have no other motive than
to serve'our country and do our duty.—
In the matters referred to us we have
never once,.in the taking of testimony or
the examination of witnesses, supposed
that any question other than the impeach
ment befere us. The impeachment of the
President, thief officer of this great
134
Republic, th re inquiry with a view to
ascertain whet er he bad committed any
offense for, which he ought or might bo
put upon trial before the most august tri
bunal of the world, impressed ue from the
beginning with most solemn awe.
We endeavored, in the investigation,
to exclude from our minds every ques
tion of mere
. politics, and, as far as possi
ble, to be uninfluenced by
. party bias.—
We were admonished that in one sense,
the nation, the people, in the person of
their Executive head, were on trial before
the world, and --that personal animosity
and party politics should be inflexibly and
scrupulously forgotten and ignored.
irldt!tiny cause, to have shrank from a
full and careful investigation of the great
question of impeachment, was cowardice;
to hare pursued it in the spirit of party,
to have degraded it into a mere investi
gation of politiCal policy, with reference
to partisan success, would have been
meanness, and would have degraded the
nation itself by scandalizing the nation's
constitutional head.
We repeat, therefore, that the investi
gation of the committee was, so far as
we took part in it, with the sole view to
ascertain whether the President, under
.the charge preferred against him, was
guilty.of any impeachable offense. Not
only so, but with the belief that it was
the on'y question we were authoriZed or
expected to inquire into. Not a witness
was called or examined with any view to
proving a case for merely censuring or
condemning the political action of the
President.
No suggestion was made, or intimation
given by the majority of the committee,
till the resolution of censure was offered,
that there, was any purpose of consider
ing, as a committee, any'but the question
of impeachmern, nor was there then, as
we understand it, any purpose of report
ing such resolutions in the House, for its
official action. We think, therefore . , 'that
we are warranted in saying, that although
mach testimony, irrelevant, illegal, and
experimental, was taken much that had
no bearing upon the question of impeach
ment, and much more that-was not testi
mony in any case, or for any purpose ;
that none was take,n with any view except
the inTeraehment, and hence we insist
that, if the committee had the right and
jurisdiction, which we deny, to inquire
hit° the political end discretionary acts
of the President, with a view to his con
demnation, that it has not in any legiti
mate and proper manner, investigated, or
attempted to consider that subject. We
do not impugn the personal • motives of
any member of the committee who differs
with ne gar intercourse upon the com
mittee.has been pleasant,; and the courte
sy with which we have been treated, uni
form and uninterrupted.
We entertain none but the most kindly
personal feelings towards every member,
but candor and a sense of duty compels
us to declare that we can find no warrant
or excuse for this traveling outside or be
yond the subject with which the commit
tee was charged, to censure and condemn
the President, except in the prejadice and
zeal of overheated partisanism.
The President needs and can ask no
, defense from us upon party grounds or
upon any other than those which spiing
- from octal obligation and duty.. lie
Was not die President'of oar choice and
linit !Loot elected by our votes, nor is it
'necessary that we should agree With him
"or justify or approve all be has done--
Neither do we feel called upon to review
all.tbesreat mass of testimony taken by
tWo nOmmittee, to show that his censure
add condemnation are not warranted by
thOngh taken ab it has been, and un
'challenged as it 'was.
In that regaid, we do not, however,
believe the unbiased, the unprejudiced
mind wilt be able in tke testimony to dis.
cover any just or reasonable cause for
condemning or , impugning the motives
by which be was actuated. Indeed, dif
fering with him in opinion, as we have,
ea to the policy and propriety of 'many
things he Has done, and nutty More that
be has left undone, we feel; WmPelled to
declare that the proofs before us will not
warrant a charge that be was in any in.
stance . controlled. by motives . other
_than
those pure and.. - patriotio..-
His greatest otentle,, we apprehend,
will be found to be that hp has not been
able or willing to follow those who elect
ed him to his office in their mad assaults
upon and departure from the constitu
tional government of the fathers of- the
Republic, and that, standing where most
of his party professed to stand when they
elevated him to his present exalted pod
tion, he has dared to differ with the ma
jority of Congress upon great and vital
questions. He - has believed in the con- - i
and - bindine , obligations of the
Constitution, that the suppression of the
rebellion against the Union was the pres
, ervation of the Union and ,the States
composing it and that when the rebellion
was put down, the States were all and
'
equally entitled to representation in the
Congress of the United States.
Planting himself firmly and immovably
upon this position, he has incurred the
fierce and malignant hatred and opposi
tion of all those who claim, by virtue of
the allegpd conquest of the territory, and
the subjugation of the people of
the latply ! rebellious States, the
power and right to dictate to them the
constitution and laws they shall live un
der, and the liberties they shall be per
mitted to enjoy. , In this difference be
tween Congress and the President,
• and the desire of each for the adoption
by the country of their respective views,
is, we suppoSe, to he found not only the
cause for the movement to impeach the
President, but of his censure and con
demnation. Out of it has grown the em
bittered feeling and violent hatred of the
President by his former friends.
'The majority of Congress and of the
committee have entertained, and been
prepared to declare at all times, in Con
gress and out of it, even more strongly
than is, expressed in their report, the same
censure and condemnation. This opinion
was not formed upon any testimony tak
en before the committee, or upon any
facts elicited-by its investigation. It was
a political opinion growing out, of a dif
ference of views upon political questions.
It was the opinion with which the major
ity of the committee entered upon the in
vestigation.. It was that which inspired
and stimulated all its inquiries and exam
inations. But notwithstanding these pre
existing opinions and prejudices, the mi
nority of the. committee have been com
pelled to find, after , the fullest examina
tion and the most protracted deliberation,
that the President had committed no of
fense for which, under our laws, he can
or ought to be impeached, and hence
none, as we insist, subjecting him to the
official jurisdiction of the committee of
the House. ,
The eenstA and condemnation
President, either by the majority or
ority, is without our jurisdiction, not jus
tified by the facts or 'becoming one de
partment of the government toward the
other, and calculated to bring reproach
upon the committee, the House v and the
nation. We cannot ignore the fact that
time has-been spent, and testimony taken
by the committee, endeavoring to ascer
tain if the President, in his oTtcial capaci
ty, has spoken censurously or condemna
tory of Congress, with a view to his im
peachment. Therefore, can it be more
becoming in a committee of, this House,
or in the House itself, to go beyond its
jurisdiction and censure and condemn the
President, than for him to censure and
condemn Congress?
Is not the impropriety of the one as
apparent as the other? If one is im
peachable, is not the other wrong? What
would be thotight of the Supreme Court'
if, after having been compelled, in a case
properly pending before it, td decide an
act of Congress constitutional, it should,
becausl3 it did not agree to the propriety
or policy of the enactment, declare its se
vere censure. and condemnation of Con
gress for having passed it? Who would
hesitate to pronounce this an unjustifiable
and even an unwarrantable interference
with the rights and duties of Congress
by the Supreme Court calculated to die
verb the harmony or vur governmental
system, and to bring into unhappy, if not
fatal, collision, the ;so-ordinate depart
ments ? Like this attempt to censure or
reprove the President for acts or wrongs
not amounting to offenses subjecting him
to the legal jurisdiction of the House of
Representatives, such an act would, it
seems to us, be sheer impudence; an act
on the part of the court justly meriting
obloquy and reproach:, Such interferen
ces by one department of the government
with the others, without authority of law,
must and will most assuredly break off
that courtesy which should at all times'
characterize their relations and inter
conrse.! i The end cannot but be forseen ;
the antagonism will ultimately produce
enmity, open hostility and aggression,
which mast result in the destruction of
one or more departments, and, as a cense
(pence, destroy our system of . govern
ment. Altogether, with all due 'respect
to the Majority of the committee , we can
not regard the charges ninde against the
President as a. serious attempt to pro
cure his htipeachment, without dwelling
upon their utter failure to, point to the
conanaissien of a sing,le act that is recog
nized by the lawS 'of our country us 'a
high crime or misdemeanor.
' The inconsistency of the majority can
not fail to challenge the attention of the
country. 'Acts for
,tvbich Mr. Limeoln
w as unanimously 'applauded are deethed
high cruses iii Mr4ohtison. For every
act so'gravelY condemned, the President
had the sanction approval of his Cab
inet, and yet while - he is arraigned hifore
the world as a erithinal of they deepest
dye, they are
,noLOnly not' irepeached,
but are recognized 'as especial fayorites,
of the party of impeadiment, 'The 'latter
have even - gone. so far as to unite in the
passage of an extraordinary and unprece
dented law to prevent the President from
removing these officers from the• places
ililliclrthey hold.
Mr: Stanton, the late Secretary of War',
gave his emphatic approval of the acts
for which the President is arraigned; and
yet the el-Secretary is a favorite and
popular martyr, and the whole country is
vexed with clamors for his restoration to
power and place. The President is held
criminally responsible for the acts of sub
ordinates of which he did not even have
the slightest notice or knowledge; and
yet those bringing him to trial' enact a
statute depriving: him of all control over.
these same subordinates, and they are
deemed worthy of the especial protection
of Congress. 4
The President has used every means
within his power.to bring the great,StatS
prisoner,' Jefferson Davis, to a speedy
trial, and yet he has been denounced
throughout the land for procrastinating
and preventing the trial, while judges and
prosecuting officers, having entire control
of the matter, have been deemed worthy
of the most honored plaudits. Were ev
er inconsistencies more glaring and inex
pli6able than these, and can we possibly
be mistaken when we assert that, how
ever honest may be the majority of the
committee, the verdict of the country
and posterity will be, that the crime of
the President consists not in violations,
but in refusals to violate the law ; in be
ing unable to keep pace with the party
of progress in the rapidly advancing
movements, or to step outside of and
above the Constitution in the adrninistra
tide of the government; in preferring the
Constitution of his country to the dicta
tion of an unscrupulous partisan cabal ;
in daring to meet the uialedictious of
those who have arrived at the accom
plishment of a most wicked and danger
ous revolution, rather than to encounter
the reproaches of his own conscience and
the curses of posterity throughout time ?
If the subject were not too grave and se
rious a one for mirth, some of the.grounds
of impeachment presented by the majori•
ty would certainly bo sufficiently awns-
The President is gravely arraigned for
arraying himself against the loyal people
of the country in vetoing the miscalled
reconstruction acts of Congress, when,
without dwelling upon the constitutional
right and duty of the President in
. the
premises, Congress itself has for the same
acts just, received the most withering and
indignant condemnation and rebuke from
the entire people from Maine to Califor
nia.
Ihe impeachers, forgetting that they
have been themselves impeached, and
that the verdict of the tribunal of last re
sort has already been rendered # gainst
them,' still persist in trifling with - - the
peace, safety, and prosperity of the coun
try, by precipitating upon it this danger- '
ous question, at a time so critical as this.
It is wicked thus to, trifle with the inter-.
ests of a nation, and disregard the voice
of a great people, when spoken, as in this
case, so emphatically in favor of the pres
ervation of our constitutional form of gov
ernment, and the rights and liberties es
tablished by out Revolutionary fathers.
We should not attempt to add any
thing to the able, and as we believe, un
answerable argument just presented by
the Chairman of oar committee, upon the
law of impeachment, had not experience
taught us the wonderful diversity of hu
,
man judgment and conclusions. We
should Lind it difficult to believe that
there could, upon the questions submit'
lel to us, possibly be two opinions among
candid and intelligent men. Blind bigot
ry and unbridled partisan rage, it is true,
can see no crime ip the most meritorious
actions-, and men governed by these un
hallowed passions do not hesitate to
drag to the stake and the torture of the
inquisition, all who will not conform to
their wretched creeds and miserable dog
mas.
They substitute their own crude and
often crazy theories for truth and justice,
-nd under pain of the severest penalties
demand of all men to bow down and
worship the idol the have erected. That
their own judgment may be fallible, or
that other men, differing from them, may
be equally wise and honest with them
selves, does not occur to their minds;—
and they will without hesitation, ques
tion the justice even of the Almighty, if
the ways of Providence do not conform
to their own crude theories.
This class of men has constituted a con
siderable portion of mankind in all ages,
and in none have they been more nume
rous than in our own. They have furn
i.hed the bigots And persecutors of ail
times; and their pathway through ~the
long line of history, from its earliest dawn
the present time has been marked
with carnage and desolation. With such
melt, no argument based upon the Con
stitution and established laws can have
any effect. They are too pure and im
maculate to be fettered by the restraint
of constitutional or written laws.
They are of law unto themielves, and
both men and gods must conform to their
views and theories, or receive their bit.
terest maledictions. But our people will
never submit to have their Chief Magis
trate arraigned for trial for offenses un
known to the laws,'and which exist only
in the heated 'brains of his 'political ene
mies. It would - be a pereedent disastrous
in its consequences, and subversive of our
political institutions. •
We cannot doubt, that the evidence
herewith, this day submitted, will be re
ceived with - one universal burst of Wig
natiOn by4he American people.- If they
retain any - juit pride in their countrpand
itsinstitutiona, they- will blush- to find
.that the ohief officer of their government
has for-ten mouths - be'en,!subject to the
scrutiny ofa secret star - chamber, an in
orisition unparalleled in -itst character' in
the annals of civilization. ...
A drag-net bas been put to catch. every
malicious whisper throughout the land,
and all the vile vermin, 'Who bad gossip
or slander to retail, hearsay or otherwise,
have been permitted to appear and . place
it upon record for the delectation of man
kind. Spies have been sent overthe land
to hear Something which might blacken
the name and character of the Chief Mag
istrate of our country. Unwhipped
knaves have given information of tabu
'mar letters and documents, that, like the
ignis fatuus, eternally elude the grasp of
their,pursuers, and the chase ever result
ed only in aiding the depletion of the
public Treasury.
That mosti•notorions character, Gener
al Lafayettte C. Baker, Chief of the De
tective force, even had the effrontery to
insult the American people by placing his
spies within the very walla of the Execu
tive mansion. The privacy of the Pre..si
dens's home, his private life and habits
and most secret thoughts, have not been
deemed sacred or exempt from invasion.
The members of his household have
been examined, and their chief prosecutor
has not hesitated to dive into loathsome
dungeons and consort with convicted fel
ons for the purpose of accomplishing the
object of arraigning the President on the
charge of infamous crime.
When we consider all these facts, any.
that the investigation has been a secret
and ex parte one, carried on at a time of
unparalleled party excitement, when the
President has been hunted down as no
man was ever hunted down before, it is
really wonderful that so little has been
elicited that tends in the slightest degree
to tarnish the fair fame of the Pret-idt•tit.
Iu what we have said of the evidence
taken before us, we must not be consider
ed as reflecting upon the action of the
committee or any member thereof.
In an examination before a committee it
would be impossible to confine the evi
dence to such as would be admissible be•
fore a court of justice.
The first witness examined was General
Lafayette C. Raker, late Chief of the Det
ective Police, and although examined on
oath, time and again and no various occ
asions, it is doubtful whether he has in any
one thing told the truth, even by accideyt.
In every important statement he is co'n
tradicted by witnesses of unquestioned
credibility, and there can be no doubt,
that to many previous outrages, entitling
him to au unenviable immortality, be.has
added that of w il;h1 and deliberat e perjury.
We are glad to know that no one mem
ber of the committtee deemed any state
ment made by him as worthy. of the
slightest credit. What a blush of shame
wtU tinge the cheeks of the American
Student in future ages, when •he reads
bow this miserable wretch fior years held,
as it were, in the hollow of his hand, the
liberties of the American people ; that
clothed With poWter by a reckless adminis
tration, and with his hordes of unprinci
pled:tools and spies penetrating the land
everywhere, with uncounted thousands of
the people's money placed in his bands for
his vile purposes that creature not. only
had the power to arrest without crime or
writ, and imprison without limit, any cit
izen of the Republic, but that he actually
did so arrest thousands all over this land,
and filled the prisons all over the country
with the victims of his malice or that of
his master.
This whole system, such an outrage up
on the Constitution and every principle of
free government, anti-American and anti
republican, has ; with its originators and
supporters, thank God, been damned to
eternal infamy; and it, is pleasant. to reflect
that not only the system but its uncrupul
agent, will go down to posterity loaded
with infamy and followed by the curses
of millions.
It sometimes happens that the admin
istration of the most dangerous ugnrpa-.
tion is placed in the hands of men so re
spectable for character and talent as to
disarm suspicion, and conciliate even these
whose liberties are endangered. We
have reason to be thankfhl to an ever
kind and merciful Providence, that the
worst feature of the worst despotism,
when the attempt was made, in an unhap
py hour, to transplant it to our free
American soil, was placed, for its admin
istration, in the hands of a class of men
so destitute of tnanhood and character as
to arouse the undying scorn of the entire
people; and as these infamous outrages
were not sanctioned by any precedent in
our own country, it is hoped and believed
that they will never, throughout all time,
be deemed worthy of imitation.
It is not• our purpose now to' attempt an
analysis or discussion of the evidence ta
ken before us, or to point out the gross
absurdities and inconsistency of a very
large portion of it. It will be read and be
considered by.the American people, and
we cannot doubt what their verdict Will
be when those who have bk.n attending
to load with disgrace and infamy the Chief
Magistrate of our county, shall stand pil.
loried in the undying scorh and •indigna
tion of ¢ great people.
Re': after passing through this fietv or
deal, we have no hesitation in predicting,
will haVe, and retain, all over the land,
even to n greater extent than heretofore,
the respect and confidence of his country
man.

The Impeachment Bubble.
The impeachment fever reached the
crisis last week by the sudden conversion
of the odd member of the committee,(who
bad been reported to have failed in ob
taining certain favors from the President,)
and the appearance of a lotig, violent,but
weak rtrajority report in favor of impeach
multi which was presented to the House.

This action of the defeated Radicals is
one of the tbolish and wicked steps taken
by them, which ensures their downfall.
