He re derred to the evil nature, wic edness• and • etestable 1 character .which . had been rought against the :President. which so had remained unnoticed by his counsel. The President atadeotmsed of: being every hing, from a political .criminal: to a com on scold. These accusations; stigmas and miens he intended to examine. • -4 - . - "Nelson then, asking "who is. An -Idrew johuson," pmceeded to..aketch the 7Presidents early life and:: , carter, and !passed a high encomium on his patriotism and public serviced. Referring also to the Act that his neighbors and those who, like hiniself; (hir. Nelson,) knew him best, sus tained him and believed him innocent. Mr. Nelson felt he was not addressing ! merely Senators :. and politicians, but 'Judges, whom .he begged to rise' above prejudice or I:party considerations and do i impartial justice. .. - • i•,.Referring to the immense outside pres sure ( which it was impossible to .conceal,)' tmworthy persons and journals sought to :ibring to bear upon them, he said he was, confident that they would repel it with in digestion. _lf he could bi3lieve that : the lresult of the trial was. a foregone Conelu sion, humble individuals that he was, he ;would scorn to address them. He asked ~ .. Ithem, as far as possible, to. put theniselves !in the President's place, to judge of his feelings and motives - and intentions, a ;privilege accorded to the meanest crim ; inert. ,i Citing the resolution declaratory of the ~ purposes of-the war, which was introduced .' by Senator. Johnson just after the battle of IBull Run, was passed by Congress, and still remains • unrepealed, he claimed that the 4 President had acted upon and - still main ' tamed its principles. He argued that Pres'. • dent Johnson; after the surrender of Gene?- ' al Lee; endeavored faithfully to carry but the policy of . his • predecessor, 'which was . based upon -that • reesolution. All 'the Senators may conscientiously believe he was wrong in his ao tion regarding theTormatiori of new State governments. They must admit that there is no express provision in !the Constitution for reconstruction, and that tbe President had a right to his..ewn opinion, more es pecially as peace had not. been fully re stored, and the necessity for prompt action was pressing. The honesty and integrity of the nation.must in charity•be.predunied lin such a case.. -.-. Referring to the recognition by Congress of a State tiovernmentin Virginia, formed without the wastage of any reconstruction Ilaw, he claimed. Congress had justified the President's policy. - Congress had also, in I the act of March Ist, 1867, dated the cease - • tion of the war from August, 1866, the time . fixed in the President's proclamation, thus recognized its validity, and ,also ' he (Mr. Nelson) claimed, the fact . that the rebel States had not been out of the Union. ' ' Haling thus endeavored todispose of the charges of usurpation, • die, based on the President's conduct in former years, •Mr. ' Nelson said he would consider the impor tant question, whether or not this body bi,a Court. •He enied - that authority or prece . dent was babe found for its guidance in Par liament, exceptin the way that history is to be consulted. This is the tribunal "Of the Constitution. Mr. Nelson then quoted from debates on the ionisation of the Constittition in sap port of bis_view that the Chief Justice was called upon to preside as a Jtidge, and was expected to state the law and 'also decide, in the first instance, upon all law questions which arise. He further contended I the use of the word trial in the Constitutional provision for impeachment shows the judi cial character of the Senate at that time. He proceeded to characterize the pro P osition. advanced' by . the Managers, that the , Senate waebdund by no common or statute law, but "yeas a law unto itself," and that common fame was - . sufficient evidence and ground for its action, as a startling 'declara tion, -fraught;ivith %danger to the 'country. He held they must consider their case, very lame, if 'forced . to; receive evidence on 'com mon fame ,which an old ,adage • says ia a comment limy , :In' the' loweit ' courts, and by; courts alone; are instibe and: equality maintained, no such claim would be 'ad" vaned, and their very -oaths showed-that they were bound by the laws. -' • He dencrunee,dras - anorally- improper the considemtioniiplit 'tinted- by the Manag era, thitlheptePle of thecOhntry demand ed conviction - , Pftmd. that - Vie 'pnblie 'pulse beat filinltywhilethatArttelay,etlit: -' , • ' Mr. Nelson then diatumedthe ;neap=' pi ing of the terms treason and ther.crimes and misdemeanbron I Hot- help:1 1 that,', as it tliertimeelthe formation of the:qonstitn don, treason 196 S 'truniabable with death ' while bribery watnat-4 1 he word I*h : hoot must be •construed 1 with the tbritter, 'kid the word ismisderneatiors” with the hate - J..
