belcutss to the , people on ' all that is
done by their representatives, there
fore, in order to remove all doubts
on the question; and to declare
-theiiionstitatioiial 'right of the' people in
eases of impascittent, • -
Resolved, That even assuming that the
. Semite lea Court in the exercise of judi
cial power i Senators cannot claim that
their-votes are exempt from the judgment
of the" people; that the Supreme Court,
- when it has undertaken to act on questions
- eel .!itpi?litica character, has not
mescaped.thili Indian:nit; that the decision of
of thie high tribunal in support of slavery
has been openly condemned; that the mem
orable -utterance known as the Dred Scott
dedision was indignantly . denounced 'and
repudiated, while the Cl:def-Justice
pronounced it became a mark of cebsufit
• ,and rebuke„ and that dainty; thatthe vote ,
'of &Miter% on- imptiachimmt -cannot enjoy
an immunity from the popular judgment,
which has been denied to the Supreme
Court with Taney as Chief Justice. -‘
Resolved; That the Senate is not, at any
time, a Court invested with judicial power,
.but.that lt,is always a Senate with specific
frinctions declared by.the Constitution; that
imeurding to the express words the judicial
7 1 ,4eigm of the Vatted States is vested in our
- 131101%ffileVotedk."inid - stieh 'inferior" cceirtit
as Congress mayordain and establish, while
it is farther provided that the Senate shall
have the sole power to -try all impeach
ments, thuspositively making a distinction"
between the judicial power and the power
- to try impeachment; that the - Senate on an
impeachment does not exercise any portion
of theindictal , power, -but another and a
different power exclusively delegated- to
.toe Senate, haying ffit its hole object remov
al from office and disqualification therefrom;
that by the terms of the Constitution there
may be, after conviction on. impeachment,-
a birther trial and punishment accord
, ing to law, thus making a discrim
ination between a proceeding ' by im
peachment and a proceeding according'
to law; that the proceeding by impeach
• meat -is not according to law, and not at
tended by legal punishment, but is df an
opposite character, and from • beginning to
end political, being instituted by a politi
cal bo4dy and on account of political ofiences,
being conducted before another: political
body having political power only, and end
ing in a • judgment which is political only;
therefore, the vote ofa Senator on impeach
ment, though different in form, is not ditf
e'rentin responsibility from his vote on any
-other political question, nor can any
Senator on such occasion claim immunity
frOnti that just accountability which Repre
sentatives at nil, times owe to their con
stituents. -1. ' •
Beggved, That Senators in all that they
, do are under - the obligations of• an oath,

that the number will prdiliblyobri several

filled by persons possessing the necessary

men would. probably be insufficient,.
for nearly all the lawyers of suf

Bench held some office before the war, and
hence are designated by the constitutional
Amendment. I have already appointed in
Virginia nearly five hundred officers, and
would have appointed more, if qualified
persons could• have been found.. It is im
portant to observe that a large majority of
city, town and comity officers receive
little or no compensation for their
services. • Hence men who possess
the necessary qualifications cannot be
induced to accept sack offices, except in
places-where they reside and own property
and hare = substantial' interests.. Reports
have been received from several porticos

even to fill vacancies that now exist. When
