jogswETt TO AUTICLE 9.
And for answer to the said artic'e, the
respondent states i that on the said 22d
day of February, 1888, the f.llo wing note
Ivim addressed to the said Emory by the
private Secretary of respondent :
Executive Mansion,
Wasefigton ' D.C.,-Feb. 2.2,1868.
General :—The President desires me to
say that he will he pleased to have you
call upon him as early as possible.
Respectfully and truly yours,
Wm. G. Moons, U. S. Army.
General Emory called at the Executive
mansion according to this request. The
object of the respondent was to be advis
ed by General Emory, commandant of the
department of Washington, what chan
ges had been made in Eke military stirs
of the department. Respondent had been
informed that various changes had been
made, which in no wise had been brought
to his notice, or reported to him from the
department of war, or from any other
qnarter bad he obtained the facts. Gen.
Emory had explained in detail the chan
ges which had taken place. Said Emory
called the attention of respondent to a
general order - which he referred to, and
which this respondent then sent for.—
When it was produced it was as follows:
War Depart't, Adj. Gen. Office, •
Washington,D.C.,M'oh 14,1867.1
General Orders, No. 17:—
The following acts of Congress are
published for the information and govern
ment of all concerned :
Public, No. 85. To make appropria
tions for, the support of the army for the
year ending Sane 30, 1868, and for other
purposes.
Section 2. And be it further enacted,
That the head quarters of the General of
the United States Army, shall be at the
city of Washington, and all orders and
instructions relating to military opera
tions issued by the President or Secreta
ry of war shall be issned through the Gen.
of the army, and in case of his inability,
through the next in rank. The Gen. of
the Army shall not be removed, suspen
ded, or relieved from Comman ,or assign
ed to duty elsewhere than at the said
headquarters, except at his own request,
without the previous approval of the Sen
ate, and any orders or instructions relating
to military operations issued contrary to
the requirements of this section shalt be
null and void; and any officer who shag
issue orders or instructions contrary to
the provisions of this section shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor in office,
and any officer of the army who snail
transmit, convey, or obey any orders or

ions of this section, knowing that such
orders were so issued, shall be liable to
impeachment for not less than two or
more than twenty years upon conviction
thereof in any court of competent juris
dictiun. Approved March 2, 1867.
By order of the Secretary of War.
E. D. TOWNSEND,
Assistant Adjutant Gen.
Official—Assistant Adjutant General,
A. G. O. No. 172.
General Emory not only called the at
tention of respondent to this order but
to thefact that it was in conformity with
a section contained in an appropriation
act passed by Congr,_!ss. Respondent, af
ter reading the order, observed, " this is
not in accolkiance with the Constitution of
the Unit tales, which makes me Corn-
mander in Chief of the Army and Navy,
or of the language of the commission
which you h01d,." General Emory then
stated that this law had; met respondent's
approval. Respondent then said in ,reply
in substance, " Ani I to understand that
the President of the United States cannot
give an order but through the General in
Chief or Gen: Grant ?" Gen. Emo ry ,
again reiterated the statement that it bad
met respondent's approval, and that it
was the opinion of some of the leading
lawyers of the country that this order
was constitutional, with some further con
vesation. Respondent then inquired the
names of the lawyers who bad given the
opinion, and be mentioned the names of
two. Reipongent then said that the ob
ject of the law was very evident, referring
'wto the elanse in the appropriation seep
on which the order purported to be based.
This according to respondent's recollec
tion, was the substance of the conversa
tion had with General Emory.
Respondent denies that any allegations
in the said article of any instructions or
declarations given to the said Emory, then
or at any other time, contrary to or in ad
dition to what, is bereinbefore set forth,
are true. Respondent denies that in the
said conversation with the said Emory he
bad any other intent than to express the
opinion then given to the said Emory; nor
did he then or at any time "request or or
der the said Emory to disobey any law or
any order issued in conformity with any
law, nor intend to offer any inducements
to the said Emory to violate any law.
What, this respondent then said to Gener
al Emory was simply the expression of an
opinion which he believed to be
, and which he yet believes to be so
at by the express provisions of the
Constitution, this respondent, as Presi
dent, is made the Commander in chief of
the armies of the United States, and as
such he is to be respected; and that his
orders, whether issued through the Gen
eral in chief or by any other channel or,
communication, are entitled to respect and,
obedience; and that such constitutional
power cannot be taken from him by vir
tue of any at of Congress. Respondent
doth therefore deny that by the expres
sion of such opinion be did commit or was
guilty of a high misdemeanor in office ;
and this respondent dotb further say that
the said article nine lays no foundation
whatever for the conclusion stated in the
said article, that the respondent, by rea
son of the allegation - therein contained
ed, was guilty of a high mibdetneanor in
office.
In reference to the statement made by
Gen. Emory that this respondent bad ap
proved of said act of Congress containing
the section referred to, the respondent ad.
mita that his formal approval was given to
said act, but accompanied the same by the
following message addressed and sent with
the act to the Rouse of Representatives,
in which the said act originated, and from
which it came to respondent :
"To the,House of Representatives :
The not entitled" Act making appropria
tions for the support of the army for the
year coding June 30, 1868, and for other
purposes," contains provisions to which I
must call attention. These provisions are
contained in the second section, which, in
certain cases, virtually deprives the Pres
ident of his constitutional functions as
Commander in chief of the army. And in
the sixth section, which denies to ten
States of the Union their constitutional
right to prOtect themselves in any emer
gency, by means of their own militia.
These provisions are out of place in an ap
propriation act, but I am compelled to de
feat these necessary appropriations if I
withhold my signature to the act. Press
ed by these considerations, I feel con
strained to . return the bill with my signa
ture, but to accompany it with my ear
nest Protest against the sections which I
have indicated.
"WASHINGTON, D. C., March 22, 1867."
Respondent, therefore, did no more
than to express to said Emory the same
opinion which he had so expressed to the
house of Representatives.
ANSWER TO ARTICLE 10
And in answer to the tenth article and
specifications thereof, the respondent says
that on the 14th . and 15th days of August
in the yea* 1866, a political convention of
delegates, from all or most of the States
and territories of the Union, was held in
the city of Philadelphia, under the name
and style of the " National Union Con
vention," for the purpose of maintaining
and advancing certain political views and
opinions before the people of the United
States, and for their support and adoption
iu the exercise of the constitutional suf
frage in the elections of representatives
and delegates in Congress, which were
soon to occur in many of the States and
territoriesef the Union, which said Con
vention in the course of its proceedings,
and in furtherance of the objects of the
same, and adopted a decixati .13 of princi
ples, and an address to the people of the
United states, and appointed a commit
tee of two of its members from each state,
and of one from each territory, and one
from the District of Columbia, to wait up
on the President of the United states, and
present to him a copy of the proceedings
of the Convention. That on the 15th day
of said month of Angnst this committee
waited upon the President of the United
states at the executive mansion, and was
received by him in one of the rooms there-
of; and by their chairman, the Hon. Rev- ' erdy Johnson, then and now a Senator of
the United States, acting and speaking in
their behalf, presented a copy of the pro
eeedings of the Convention, and addressed
the President of the United states in a
speech, of which . a copy, according to a!
published report of the same, and as the 1
respondent believes, substantially a cor
rect report, is hereto annexed, as a part of
this answer, and marked, exhibit C.
That thereupon in reply to the address
of said committee by their chairman, this
respondent addressed the said committee
so waiting upon him in one of the rooms
of the executive mansion, and this respon
dent believes that this, his address to said
committee, is the occasion referred to in
the first specification of the tenth article;
but this respondent does not admit that,
the passage' therein set forth, as if extracts
from a speech or , address of this respon
dent upon said occasion; correctly or just- 1
ly present his speech or address upon said
occasion; but on the contrary this respon
dent demands and insists that if this hon
orable court shall deem the said article
and the said first specifidation thereof to
contain allegation of matter cognizable by
this honorable court, as a high misde
meanor in office, within the intent and
meaning of the Constitution of the United
States, and shall receive or allow proof in
support of the same, that proof shall be
required to be made of the actual speech
and address of this respondent on said oc
casion, which' this respondent denies that '
said article and specification contains, or
correctly or justly represents. And this
respondent, further answering the tenth
article and the specifications thereof, says
that at Cleveland, in the state of Ohio,
and on the 3d day of September,
in the
year 1866,' he was attended by a large as
semblage of his fellow citizens, and in def
erence and obedience to their call and de
mand, he addressed them upon matters of
public and political consideration, and this
respondent' believes that said occasion
and address are referred to in the second
specification of the tenth article ; but this
respondent does not admit that the passa
ges, therein set forth, as if extracts from a
speech of this respondent on said occa
sion, correctly or justly
. present his speech
or address upon said occasion, but, on the
contrary, this'respondent demiinds and in
sists that if this honorable court shall deem
the said article, and the said second spe
cification thereof to contain allegation of
matter cognizable by this honorable court
as a high misdemeanor in office, within
the intent and meaning of the Constitu
tion of the United states, and shall receive
or allow proof iu support of the same,
that proof shall be required to- be made
of the actual speech and address of this
respondent on said occasion, which this
respondent denies that said article and
specification contains, or correctly or just
ly represents.
And this respondent, further answering
the tenth article and thespecifications
thereof, says that at St. Louis, in the state
of Missouri, and on the Bth day of Sep
tember, in the year 1865, be was attended
by a numerous assemblage of his fellow
oitizens, and in deference and obedience
to their call, and demand, he addressed
them upon mattters of pUblie and politi
cal consideration, and this respondent be
lieves that said occasion and address are
referred to in the third specification of the
tenth article; but this respondent does not
admit that the passage therein set forth as
tf extracts from a speech of this respon
dent on said occasion, correctly or justly
present his speech or address upon said
occasion; but on the contrary, this respon
dent demands and insists that if this hon
orable court shall deem the said article
and the said third specification thereof to
contain allegation of matter cognisable by
this honorable court as a high misdemean
or in office, within the intent and meaning
of the Constitution of the United States,
and shall receive or allow proof in support
of the same, that proof shall be required
to be made of the actual speech and ad
dress of this respondent on said occasion,
which this respondent denies that the said
article and specification contains, or cor
rectly or justly represents.
And this respondent further answering ,
the tenth article, protesting that be has
not been unmindful, of the high duties of
his office, or of the harmony or courtesies
which ought to exist and be maintained
between the executive and legislative
branches of the government of the Unit
ted States; denies that he has ever inten•
ded or designed to set aside the rightful
authority or powers of Congress, or at
tempted to bring into disgrace,- ridicule,
hatred, contempt or reproach, the Con
gress of the United States, or either branch
or to impair or destroy the regard or re
spect of all or any of the good people of
the United States, for the Congress or
the rightful power thereof or to excite the
odium or resentment of all or any of the
good people of the United States against
Congress and the laws by it duly and con
stitutionally enacted.
This respondent further says, that at
all times he has, in his official acts as
President, recognized the authority of the
several Congresses of the United States as
constituted and organized during his ad
administration of the office of President of
the United States ; and this respondent,
further answering, says that he has from
time to time, under his Constitutional
right and duty as President of the United
States, communicated to Congress bis
views and opinions in regard to snob acts
or resolutions thereof, as being submitted
to him as President of the United States,
in pursuance of the Constitution, seemed
to this respondent to require such com
munication; and he has from time to time,
in the exercise of that freedom of speech
which belongs to him as a citizen of the
United states, and in his political relations
A President of tha United states to the
people of the United states as upon fit oc
casions a duty of the highest obligation
expressed to his fellow citizens his views
and opinions, respecting them as such, and
proceedings of Congress, and that in such
address to his fellow citizens, and in such
his communications to Congress be has
expressed his views, opinions and judg•
ment °rand concerning the actual consti
tution of the two houses of Congress,
without representation therein of certain
states of the Union, and of the effect that
in wisdom and justice, in the opinion and
judgment of this respondent, Congress in
its legislation and proceedings should be
given to this political circumstance, and
whatsoever he has thus communicated to
Congress, or addressed to his fellow citi
zens or any assemblage thereof, this re
spondent says was end is within and ac
cording to his right and privileges as an
American citizen, and his right and duty
as President of the United states; and this
respondent, not waiving or at all dispara
ging his right of freedom of opinion and of
freedom of speech, as hereinbefore or here
inafter more particularly set forth, but
claiming and insisting upon the same.
Further answering the said tenth arti
cle, says that the views and opinions ex
pressed by this respondent in his said-ad
dresses to the assemblages of his fellow
citizens, as in said article or in this answer
thereto mentioned, are not, and were not
intended to be other or different from
those expressed by him in his communi
cations to Congress; that the eleven States
lately in insurrection never had ceased to
be states of the Union, and that they were
then entitled to representation in Con
gress by loyal representatives and Sena
tors, as fully as the other States of the
Union, and that, consequently, the Con
gress as then constituted was not, in fact,
a Congress of all the States, but a Con
gress of only a part of the states. This
respondent, always protesting against the
unauthorized exclusion therefrom of the
said eleven States, nevertheless gave his
assent to all laws passed by said Con
gress, which did not, in bis opinion and
judgment, violate the Constitution, exer
cising his constitutional authority of re
turning bills to said Congress with his
objections, when they appeared to him to
be unconstitutional or inexpedient.
But further this respondent has also ex
pressed the opinion, both in his commu
nications to Congress and in his addresses
to the people, that the policy adopted by
Congress in reference to the States lately
in insurrection did not tend to peace and
harmony and union, but on the contrary,
did tend to disunion and the permanent
disruption of the states, and that in fol
lowing its said policy laws had been pass
ed by Congress in violation of the funda
mental principles of the government;and
which tended to consolidation and despo
tism, and such being his deliberate opin
ions, he would have felt himself unit:lin&
ful of the high duties of his office Wise bad
failed to express them in his eommunioa
tions to Congress or in his address to the
people, when called upon by them to ex
press his opinions on matterWpublic and
political consideration. -f" . ;
And this respondent, furtho answering
the tenth article, says that be has, always
claimed and insisted, and now claims and
insists, that both in his perSonat and pri
vate capacity of a citizen of the United
States, and in the pOlitical relations of the
President of the United States to the peo
ple of the United States—whose servant,
under the duties and respapsibilities of the
Constitution. of the United States, the
President of the MAO states is, and
should always remaina4his respondent
had and has the, full right, and, in his of
fice of President of the United States, is
held to the high duty of - forming, and on
fit occasions expressing opinions of and
concerning the legiAlation of Congress,
proposed or completed, in respect of its
wisdom, expediency, justice, worthiness,
objects, purposes and public and political
motives and temUncies, and within and as
a part of suchlight and duty, to form and
on fit occasions to express opinions of and
concerning the public character and con
duct, views pfirnoses, objects, motives and
tendencies plan men engaged in the pub
lic serviceos well in Congress as other
wise, and-under no other rules or limits
upon this right of freedom of opinion and
of freedpM of speech, or of responsibility
and amenability for the actual exercise of
such freedom of opinion and freedom of
speech, than attend upon such rights and
their exercise on the part of all other citi
zens of the United states, and on the part
of all their public servants. And this re
spondent, further answering said tenth ar
ticle, says that the several occasions on
which, as is alleged in the several specifi
cations of said article, this respondent ad
dressed his fellow citizens on subjects of
public and political consideration, were
not nor was any one of them sought or
planned by this respondent, but on the
contrary each of said occasions arose up
on the exercise of a lawful and accustomed
right of the people of the United states to
call upon their public servants and ex
press to them their opinions, wishes and
feelings upon matters of public and politi
cal consideration, and to invite from such
pubic servants, an expression of their
opinions, views and feelings on matters of
public and political consideration. And
this respondent claims and insists, before
this honorable court, and before all the
people of the United states, that of or con
cerning this, his right of freedom of opin
ion and of freedom of speech, and this his
exercise of such rights on all matters of
public and political consideration, and in
respect of all public servants or persons
whatsoever engaged in or connected
therewith, this respondent, as a citizen or
as President of the United states, is not
subject to question, inquisi , ion, impeach
ment or inculpation, in any form or man
ner whatsoever.
And this respondent says that neither
the said tenth article nor any specification
thereof nor any allegation therein contain
ed touches or relates to any official act or
doing of this respondent in the office of
President of the United states, or in the
discharge of any of its constitutional or
legal duties or responsibilities, but that
the said article and the specifications and
allegations thereof wholly and in every
part thereof question only the discretion
or propriety of freedom of opinion or free
dom of speech, as exercised by this re
spondent as a citizen of the United states,
in his personal right and capacity, and
without allegation or imputation against
this respondent of the violation of any law
of the United states, touching or relating
to the freedom of speech or its exercise
by the citizens of the United states, or by
this respondent as one of the said citizens
or otherwise; and he denies that by rea
son of any matters in the said article or
its specifications alleged, he has said or
done anything indecent or unbecoming in
the chief Magistrate of the United states,
or that he has brought the high office of
the President of the United states into
contempt, ridicule or disgrace, or that ha
has committed or has been guilty of a high
misdemeanor_ in office.
ANS - WER TO ARTICLE 21.
And iil answer to the eleventh article,
this respondent denies that on the 18th day
Cif Anest, in the year 1866, at the city of
Washington, in the District of Columbia,
he ditkby public speech or otherwise, de
clare-or affirm in substance or at all, that
the Thi_rty-ninth Congress.of the United
States Was not a Congress of the United
States, authorized by the Constitution to
exercise legislative power ander the same,
or that he did then and there declare or
affirm that the said thirty-ninth Congress
was a Congress of only part of the States
in any sense or meaning other than that
eleven States of the Union were denied
representation therein ; or that be . made
any or either of the declarations or affir
mations on this behalf in the said article,
alleged as denying or intending to deny
that the legislation of the said thirty•ninth
Congress was 4At'ualid or obligatory up
on this' resporgent, except so far as this
respondent sa fit to approve the same;
and as to thoalletation in said article that
he did thereby : intend, or made to be un
derstood thos the said Congress had not
power to propose amendments to tpe Con
stitution, this respondent says that in said
address the respondent said nothing in
reference to amendments to the Constitu
tion, nor was the question of the compe
tency of the said Congress to propose such
amendments without the participation of
said States in any way mentioned or con
sidered or referred to by this respondent,
nor in-what he did say had he any intent
in regard to the same, and he denies the
allegation so made to the contrary there
of; but this respondent in further answer
to and in respect of the said allegations of
the said 11th article herein before travers
ed and denied, claims and insists upon his
personal and official right of freedom of
opinion and freedom of speech, and his du
ty in his political relations as President of
the United States to the people of the U
nited States, in the exercise of such free
dom of opinion and freedom of speech in
the same manner, form and effect as be
has in this behalf stated the same in his
answer to the said tenth article, and with
the same effect as if he here repeated the
same.
And he further claims and insists, as in
answer to said tenth article he has claimed
and insisted, that he is not subject to
question of impeachment and inculpation
in any form or manner, of or concerning
such rights of freedom of opinion or free
dom of speech, or his said exercise there
of. And this respondent further denies
that on the 21st day of February, 1868,0 r
at any other tine, at the city of Washing
ton, in pursuance of any such declaration
as in that behalf in the said 11th article al
leged, or otherwise, he did, unlawfully
and in disregard of the requirement of the
Constitution that he should take care that
the laws be faithfully executed, attempt
to prevent the execution of an act entitled
" an act regulating the tenure of certain
civil offices," passed March 2, 1867, by un
lawfully devising or contriving, or at
tempting to devise or contrive measures
by which he shou'd prevent Edwin M.
Stanton from forthwith resuming the
functions of Secretary for the department
of war ; or by unlawfully devising or con
triving, or attempting to devise or con
trive means to prevent the execution of
an act entitled "an act .naking appropria
tions for the support of the army of the
army for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1868, and for other purposes," approved
March 2, 1867 ; or to prevent the execu
tion of an act entitled "an act to provide
for the more efficient government of the
Rebel States," passed March 21, 1867.
And this respondent further answering
to the said 11th article says, that he has
in his answer to the Ist article set forth in
detail the acts, steps and proceedings
done and taken by this respondent to and
towards or in the matter of the suspension
or removal of the said Edwin M. Stanton
in or from the office of Secretary for the
department of war, with the times,modes,
circumstances, intents, views, purposes
and opinions of obligation and duty under
and with such acts, steps and proceedings
were done and taken ; and he makes an
swer to this 11th article of the matter in
his answer to the Ist article, pertaining to
the suspension or removal of said Edwin
M. Stanton, to the same intent and effect
as if they were here repeated and set
forth.
And this respondent further answering
the said 11th article denies that by means
or reason of anything in said article al
leged, this respcndent as President of the
United States, did, on the 21st day of
February 1868, or any other - day or time
commit, or that he was guilty of a high
misdemeanor iu office, and this respond
ent further answering the said 11th arti
cle, says that the same and the matter
therein contained do not charge or allege
the commission of any act whatever by
this respondent in his office of President
of the United States, nor the omission Ly
this respondent of any act of official obli
gation or duty in his office of President of
the United States, nor does sai I article
nor matters there contained name, desig
nate or describe any act or mode or form
of device, contrivance or means, or of at
tempt at device, contrivance or means,
whereby this respondent can know or un
demand what act, or mode, or form of
attempt, device contrivance or means, or
of attempt at device,contrivance or means
are imputed to or charged against this re
spondent, in his office of President of the
Limited States, or intended so to be, or
whereby this respondent can more fully
or definitely make answer unto said arti
cle than he here does.
And this respondent in submitting to
this honorable court this his answer to the
articles of impeachment exhibited against
him, respectfully reserves the right to
amend and add to the same from time to
time, as may become necessary or proper,
and when and as such necessity and pro
priety may appear.

gains, at every point where party lines are
drawn. Harrisburg and other cities and
principal Democratic towns give unprece
dented majorities ; while many doubtful
and heretofore Radical strongholds, are
carried to the right side by the popular
current.
In view of impending impeachment,and
the Presidential election, there can bens
doubt as to what these results portead , —
the impeachment of Congress,and desks.
Lion of a Democratic President.
Impeachment, he.
The President's answer was read gods
Court on the 23d, and clearrishows there
is no knrt cause for proceedings a g ainst
him. Thirty days time was mated for, to
prepare for trial, but refused by Radi.
cala, who, having reso'ved on conviction,
insist upon closing the farce before ream
and justice shall supercede party passion.
The managers on the part of the House,
filed their replication on- the 24th ; it be
ing a mere contradiction of the answer.—
The trial was to begin on the 30th—yes-
terday.
The question with the Radicals is not :
Has the President committed high crimes
that warrant his removal ? But it is this :
Can we not gain, politically, by deposing
the President ; and can we control two•
thirds of the Senators to vote for convic
tion ?
The conspirators consider it a mere par.
ty issue, and the bolder of them admit it ;
others doubt, the expediency ; and if the
President is not deposed it. will be because
some Republican Senators fear public
opinion too much to allow a party caucus
programme to draw them into open revo
lution. So far, about a dozen of them hes
itate, and vote for a little time ; but it re
mains to be shown that their party par
ty passions are not stronger than al, sense
of duty and justice.
The President vetoed' the act denying
to the Supreme Court jurisdiction in ha
beas corpus cases ; but it has been passrd
over the veto by party majorities; be
object being to prohibit the court from
deciding questions that may show the un
constitutionality of reconstruction note.
The Senate has not taken foal salmi on
the amended bill to exempt certain arti
cles from tasation. The bill does not af
feet any articles made and eohl in
March.
Legislation will be in•pended during
impeachment proceeding..
