THE DEBATE ON THE VETO.
THE "" ?1FIANT" MESSAGE,
8EKATE.
The following ia the debate on the President's
Voto Message to tho second Supplementary Act,
in the Senate, July 19 :
Mr. Johnson (Md.) called for the reading of the
message, and it was read by tho Chief Clerk, Mr.
M-'Douald.
At the conclusion of the reading, Mr. Trumbull
(Rep. Hi.) rose and said : The extraordinary posi?
tions assumed in that message, and, as I think,
indefensible positions, might well call for reply.
I think most of the pos tions assumed-indeed,
all of them, so far as we know-denying the au?
thority of Congress to-pass this bill, are indefensi?
ble ; but there is an indisposition in the Senate to
have its time. occupied with this discussion. If
it be the pleasure of the Senate to vote upon it at
once, I shall forego any remarks that, under other
circumstances, I should fool inclined to make. If
it bo tho pleasure of the Senate, I will not detain
it,

e ftc li House, was a law.
HOUSE. .'
The reading of tho veto message having b?en
concluded, the Speaker stated that the objections
of tho President would be entered at length on tho
journal in compliance with the Constitution.
Mr. Stevens (Bop., Pa.) rose and said that he
was disposed to ha/c the vote on the question at
once. He was not aware that there was any dispo?
sition to discuss it, and presumed the House was
Srepared to vote on the arguments of the Presi
ent. H. there was any such desire, ho did not
know but a to.v moments might be very well spent
in that way. [A general desire was here manifest?
ed on the Republican side for the vote to be taken
at once.] Mr. Stevens stud he preferred that the
previous question should be called-[A voice,
-Take the voto,"]-and that the bill be sent to tho
Senate, and passed, so that mombo rs could go
home, and leave the Judiciary Committee behind
to perform itsdr*y diligently for the impeachment
of thc President, 'i bis last remark was uttered
ironically, and caused some laughter.
Mi-. Bout well (Rep., Mass.) asked Mr. Stevens
to yield tho floor to lum. Mr. Stevens complied,
and Mr. BoutweU addressed the House. He said
this message is so extraordinary in some of its
declarations that it ought not to go to tho country
and tho world without some declaration of the ef?
fect which it has on at least ono mind here. It
convinces me, indeed, of that of whioh I had but
littlo doubt before, that there is no relief for this
oo un try from the oppression which, through tho
: instrument ali ty of that man, has res ted on 12,000,
000 of people, and which bas been only temporarily
removed by the measures against which ho, in his
document, vainly protests, except in tbs assertion of
that groat power which resides in thin Bouse, audis
nowhere rise, and for the neglect to exercise which
the people of this country wul hold us to account,
and posterity, which will not be intimidated by the
fears that seem to control us, if wo hesitate to ar?
ray this man for thc crimes of which he is accused
before the country, and, in my judgment, guilty;
and to ascertain whether that provision of the
Constitution which gives the power of impeach*
to this House ?s now and forever to be a dead pro?
vision. This President of tho United States in chis
document s.ys; "While I hold the executive
authority of the. United States, while the obliga?
tion rests on me to see that all the laws are faith?
fully executed, I can novar willingly surrender that
trust, or the power given for' its -execution." In
that sentence he speaks of the law which he how
opposes, and the law of March 23d last, which
Congress passed over bis veto, and made tb? su?
preme law. of tho land- He declares that ho will,
never willingly surrender tho au bority of the
Chief Executive of the country, it resting on him
to seo that all tho laws aro fiithfully executed.. |
He holds that his version of the Constitution is
tho supreme law, binding on him, and that he will
set at defiance those acts of the Congress of tho
United States, and set at dorian oo this bill, whioh
no iv but atv*; ta tho constitutional sanction of tho
two Houses to make it tbs law ol' the land. Tho
Constitution bas mado it his ditty to seo that tho
btw which Congress by its Constitution^ pro
rogativo, declares Jo be law, is a law to bim, aa
well.aa to the humblest citizen of the Repu '
until by the'Supwmo Court it bas been - dec!
otherwise. He bas taken an path to support the
Constitution of the United States, the lead i
provision of whioh IS' that 'the President at .
see that the laws are faithfully executed. If |
there he any meaning in the document jost read,
it ie that he will cot exeoute this law, although we
puss it by that.Constitution^ two-thirds majority
which is toe substitute-for the Executive signature,
and with which it is as much a law as though he
fa id willingly and freely given it-hie assent. Now,
then, I say, once for all, that a man who, by the'
exercise of unconstitutional authority for twelve
rr on ths inaugurated war, and rapjoe, and blood?
shed throughout ten or eleven States of the Ooo*
ftderacy-a man who has declared on the public
record that he will set at naught your law, which
declares that no man shall be appointed to.office

Message, We aro here sentinels on tho watch?
towers of Freedom. We see the principle 'of lib?
erty assailed throughout the bind. Vainly he ap
[?als tq the people to assist bim in the straggle.
The people Will stand by the constituted aut bDir?
ties of the country'; hut, whether we stand or
tall in this contest, it is our duty to resist the usur?
pations of the Executive. To be sore we could
carry the country through eighteen months Ipn>
Oer, possibly. Tho English people might have
ved under James ,.11.-tho American colonies
might have longer rested, under George III., bub
for themselves and their posterity they demanded
the constitutional righto ol lreemen, and those
rights they secured. Wo seo hero an executive
usurpation through a period of twenty-four
months, setting at defiance the law, and doing
acts in violation of the constituted authorities ot
the country, and all with impunity, and we sot
here questioning whether we will devoto a few
months time to the examinaiion of tho gravo
charges that have been made against this offender,
against liberty, and law, and justice, and the Con?
stitution, and the Union. While we debate hero
popular power is arrested; while we consider
and delay, precedents are established by
which men not worse than this man will find au
thority for invading popular rights in other years
and other ages. Our duty as we represent his?
tory and ancestry-our duty, as wo contemplate
the demands which posterity will make on us, in
my judgment, is here to investigate fairly, fully,
fait.?ifuliy, and without delay, tho charges that are
made against the Executive of tho country, and if
they be, in the judgment of the House, well
founded, to arraign him deliberately, but prompt?
ly, pros ecu to the trial according to the forms of
proceeding, and if but by one day his constitu?
tional term be shortened by the judgment of the
Senate, liberty will be preserved, and tho country
through coming ages, and mankind t hi o ugh cen?
turies, will bless that psople and the representa?
tives o' that people who had the courage, us thov
merged from a great war, to demand justice, to
preserve the Constitution, to protect liberty, and
to transmit popular rights to other nations.
Mr. Randall (Dem., Pa.) would liko tho chance
to meet the impeachers before the peoplo, He
should like to meet them face to face, right in tho
enemy's camp. He asserted that they did nob
mean to impeach the President; they did not dare
to do ic. What had tho President doue tuab he
should b .. impeached V Had he not been honest,
faithful, diligent, and correct in every particular ?
Let them, then, if they dare, attempt co impeach
the President.
Mr. Butler (Rep,, Mass. )-ll would not ask the
House to pause iu what we all understand to be
our primary duty, if tho messago which wo have
just heard did not seem to me co require a siuglo
remark or two, first, upon its tone, and second as
to some assertions of fact. Ido not propose to
deal with thc arguments in tho message, but I do
protest, in the namo of tho people, and in tho
name of the House of Representatives, against
the Executive slandering tho Congress of
the United States, by dedaring - to . ns
in an official paper that wo have put upon
12,000,000 of the people uf tho country a despotism
more intolerant than ever was borne by any other
peoplo. I give the exact moaning, if not the exact
words, of toe message. Either that is true or it
is falso. If true, we are unworthy of our places
here. It false, the man who makes the charge
ought not to hold his place a single hour longer
than is necessary to take the proper steps to re?
move him. I admit that tho gentleman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. Randall) uttered one truth in
his remarks, and that was, that wo dare not do
our duty hero in that respect. With shame and
confusion of face, Lfor one, bow to the truth of
that remark. And tho question is : How soon will
we be ready co do our duty? How suou shall we
meet thia*manV Whon shall wo say to him,
in . tho language of tho orator of Rome,
"Quousque tandan abutere nostra palienlia, Cata?
lina f* How long shall we remain here to be
charged with enacting laws which work out despot?
ism on tho country ? Passing fr JW that, \ desire
to call attention * to one or two assertions of
tho message. I do it, not because they
aro now, but because never hero in this
place, so far as I know, have they been
made. The first assertion is that wo, as members
of Congress, have declared these State Govern?
ments illegal wiib one breath, while with the other
we have sustained them, and he iustanocs various
occasions where wo havo called them "Statea for
matters of legislation," and argues that wo have
ratified their existence as States by sending the
Constitutional Amendment to bc ratified by thom.
I pray judgment of this House, Show me any
law, or any section of any law, where Congross has
sent any one of the Constitutional Amendments
to be ratified by one of these States. We
have sent them to be ratified by the country, ai
hiB Seoretary of State, taking advantage of 1
construction, has sent the constitutional proviaii
in reference to the abolition of slavery to the a
called States, erected by Executive order, ai
by no other power whatever. Again, he says th
we have provided for, and tho Senate has co
firmed, the. appointment of Judges for the
8tates. I again take issue of tho fact. We ha
provided for Judges and District Attorneys of tl
United States in certain districts heretofore d
olared by law and defined by law. and not for ai
State'Jndges whatever. Our legislation has bet
for the United States officers, and not for State of
eera. Ag tin, we are told in the same message th;
the Supreme Court of the United States has rocoi
nized these States as States by assigning thc
circuits; and using their boundaries as oonveniei
designations. I deny again tho fact. The Si
preme Court has nowhere given any opinion c
direction on the subject, and that doctrino cann*
be found in its action in any degree. Again, it :
said that the Surrcmc Court has recognized tues
States from tho fact that the Chief Justice ha
held a court in the State of North Carolina. 1
that I answer, he held a court in the Judicial Dil
trict of the United States, a Tem tor: al District <
the United Slates, assigned to him under the lav
without any reference to the question whether tb
State of North Carolina was in existence or no
and it would have been equally his duty to hav
held that court whether the State of Nort
Carolina had existence or not. He : held th
Court in despite of, and not Iii subjection tc
any supposed State law: and among the very fire
opinions he promulgated was one which showo
ho .by no means recognized the State of Nortl
Carolina, except as a State that had been in rebel
hon, and was not yet brought back into the Union
Nor has there been any recognition of them b
the Supreme Court, because of that court bavin;
allowed to be placed on its docket cases brough
from the various District and Circuit Courte
These Courts had, under the laws of tho Unite?
States, rondcred certain judgments which were t
bo reviewed on appeal in tho Supreme Court of th
United States, and nowhere had there arisen an;
place to adjudicate whether those States were ii
existence or not, until tho State of Mississippi un
dertook to bring in a bill in equity against higl
United States officers, ahd thereupon the Supremj
Court of the United States made a formal adjudi
cation that the State of Mississippi, as a State o
the Union, had no standing in the Supreme Cour
of the United States. So far from sustaining tb
doctrines of this Message, it was direct!;
and entirely opposed to it. Hie President declare'
that no particle of the land in the Southern Statei
has become the property of the United State
by conquest. 1 cannot, for an instant, allow tba
statement to go unchallenged. Every foot of lain
that was occupied by the enemy of the Unitcc
States, and was by the valor of its soldiers, repos
sessed by the United States, became thereupon
the property of the United States. To say that i
title by conquest pertains only to personal proper
ty and moveable things, is to ignore tho entire lav
of nations; for while it has not beeu usual in con
quering nations to appropriate tho proprietary
title of tho land from motives of public policy
yet I think I may challongo the ontire body o;
writers' of the rights of war, and ask if then
oas be found any one line in denial of tin
right to appropriate land thus acquired,
shall, therefore, ask tho consideration of tb?
House to the foot whether or not the righi
by conquest is not a perfect one, to bo exorcis?e
in our jndgmont as may seem best, oither ii
morey, in ciemoncy, in justice, or in right-pre
cisely as we p.caso-and not otherwise, Having
thus brought before the House those misstate?
ments of tao ta and wrong conclusions of law, I
for ono, am ready to vote that this shall become t
law, notwithstanding the voto of the President
and then see whether he will execute it, or whet hoi
the House, of Representatives vrill bring bim, foi
his former violations of tho Constitution, before
the Senate for trial, aooording tb the modo, and
the only mode, pointed out by the Constitution tc
relieve thc country from tho oppressions of a bad
ruler.
Mr. Boyer (Dem., Pa.,) asked Mr. Stovers tc
allow him some time, and tho latter consented tc
allow him to have five minutes.
Mr. Boyer took the floor for five minutes,
Mr. Wilhams (Rep., Pa.) said he sympathized
very deeply with tho eloquent utterances of his
friend from Massachusetts (Bout well). There wu
a time when forbearance ceased to be a virtue,
and ie thought that time had come, For. the first
time in the history of the country the Chief Execu?
tive Magiatrato of tho country strode into the
halls of Congress, into the Constitutional Cham,
ber of the nation, and dung his maco in the way ol
defiance at the feet of Congress. When was thia
controversy to end ? What was to be the issue 7
Congress and the President were divided, wide as
tho poles asunder, on a question of vital magni?
tude and importance. Was Congress in a position
to adjourn now, with an utterance of this sort
placed upon its record with a solemn declaration
made in advance that tho President of tho United
States, tho minister of the will of Congress, would
not execute that wilL when declared m constitu?
tional form? Would the President execute
it ? From tho experience of tho past what had
the nation to expect from the President? But tb ore
was a remedv ; it had been widely dissemi?
nated through the country that the oharas
against the Executive Magistrate were morely
fri votons. That opimon.haa found utterance on
both ?tf$?lfof ?he Houeo.'but those who hold the
ctjrrwSry dprnlon wore wepared to show, when?
ever they were allowed to prove it to the House
and the nation, that there was a ease against the
President. It was not for him to say what it was;
he could not do so without a violation of confidence
as a ujember of the Judiciary Committee: but by
way of protest against deolaiationn an J insinua?
tions of members on his own sido of the Houso, he
would say that there was a case in which all that
was to bo found of tyranny in tho annals of the
Tudors and the Stuarts had boen rehearsed and
reiterated by tho present Chief Magistrate. He
would Bay for himself as s lawyer, brad fattie study
of the great principle* of government, and having
made himself familiar with tho procrress of con?
stitutional liberty in England, from its early and
rude beginning in tho Magna Charta, down to its
ponsummation in the revolution of 1688, that
there waa ns c*ae jn the Parliamentary history of
England in whioh wore aggregated as many encr
mities as were to be found hero ; and he, tor one.
was prepared to make good against all comers all
he had said, whenever the Houso would afford
him au opportunity. He behoved that the neces?
sities uf llio ii afton' required Congress to remain
Lu session. Congress had an issue QU Ha hands
which it had to meet. The time had come when
it had to adopt the only and effective remedy, and
that was to place in power as the effective mini -
ter of its deoroas a Fp.au who would respect its au?
thority.
Mr. Schcnck (Rep., Ohio] accepted five minutes'
t imo, and said it would suffice for what he had to
say. The Secretary of tho Treasury, in a speech
delivered some time ago to a mob in this oity, had
said Ulai h? regarded Conproas, tho law-makers
of the country, as a. sot of tinkers, Ho ?Schenck)
had sometimes boon inclined to think that Con?
gress had wasted its time in tinkering,
"Not a doubt of it," interposed Mr. Ross (Dem.,
LU.)
Mr. Schenck proceeded without heeding the re?
mark. Congress had passed ono Law after an?
other in its effort to carry out a system of restora?
tion of tho rebel States, And those laws had been
rendered nugatory, had been, in effect, stricken
down and made inoperative by the hostility to
them, to Congress, and to the policy of Congress
on tho part of tho Executive. Tho President stood
now aa au obstacle in the pathway, Ho (Schenck)
bad said lefure, and now repeated, that all at?
tempts by acts of legislation were almost as
nothing while that obstacle remained, and that
though gontlomeu might think to dig little canals
around, or to burrow under it, or to c limb over it,
it was all unavailing. Tba only true remedy was
to remove tho obstacle, to mit out of tho way and
degrade from his office the President of tho United
States, who now stood before the country and tho
world defying the attempts of Congress to bring
about that peace and that restoration which, by
legislation, it was endeavoring to obtain. He did
not know what proofs may have been produced be?
fore the Judiciary Committee, but he did know
that, without looking at the record made in the in?
vestigation, tbero was spread on tho public jour?
nals of tho country, in tho shape of documents to
which tho name of tho Presidont was attaohed,
enough of history to satisfy him that the Presi?
dent had assumed A position of hostility to a co?
ordinate branch of tho Government, and to the
proper ndo of the country, which amounted to a
great political crimo, for which ho might properly
bo brought to trial, and, if Congress was iruo to
its duty, degraded from his office.
Mr. Stevens (Rep., Pa?), said : I agree precisely
with the eloquent speech of my am Ludo collcagao
across the way (Randall) that we cannot impeach
tho Presidont of tho United States. But I Bay to our
friends on this side who oro urging that measure
that they are urging it in vain. Tue result of my
motion tho other day clearly disclosed that, and,
without attempting" to maka disclosures, I under?
take to say that there aro unseen agencies at work
-there aro invisible powers at work in this coun?
try which will proveut tho impeachment of the
President. I havo taken some pams to understand
thc composition Qt the House and tho composition
of thc Senate, and I am quite certain that there are
enough of persona in the Houso first to prevent tho
presentation of articles of impeachment; and se?
condly that thoro arc enough persons in the Senate
if articles of impeachment were voted, to prevent
tho conviction of the President. Bo that I repeat
any attempt to impeach the President will bo vain
and futile. It is impossible to pierce the party which
surrounds the White House- Thc President starts
by asserting in his message what, if true, would sup?
port all the rest of his argutuont. Ho says tho
Constitution of tho United States is theoretically
operative in the conquered provincos of the South.
If that was true then all w 14 havo dono here is rank
usurpation. I deny that tho Constitution is
either theoretically or actually in operation Lu any
of these States. I am sorry to say lost not all our
?tate?, sp, profound as they are, and that not all
of our judges, learned as they are, not oven tho
highest among them, seem to have looked suf?
ficiently to the bottom of tho law of nations to un?
derstand thc true condition of a conquered people.
And yet a slight examination, of ono pa, JO of C?rof
tiuB, of half a ps0 or half a lecturo c
liutherfbrd, ono pago of Yattel, and even
less than that of the last, and best, sud
tersest of publicists-Sergeant Wildman-will
oonvLuce every man that tho true position
ol the late Confed?rale Statos is that of a conquer?
ed territory of the Unitod States, That being
admitted, all the rest of reoonstruolion is aa oasy
?a any of tho problems of Euclid. Many of our
people havo relied on Blackstone and Wheaton
and other ancient and modern publicista, and
haye becomo familiar with them, while tho occu?
pant of the White Houso was engaged in a vary
laudable business, but one not muan calculated to
iiistniot and adorn that end ci thc human frame.
Therefore, sir, I make allowai cu and indulgence
on the errors of that honorable gentleman. 1 now
move the previous question,
Mesara. Wilson (Rep., Iowa) and Pruyn (Dem.,
N. Y.) appealed to Mr. Stevens to allow each o?
them some time to address the House.
Mr. Stevens consented to do so, and yielded first
to Mr. Pruyn, who said: I agree, with tho gentle?
man from Pennsylvania as to those first prinei
f)les which ho at the foundation of the national
aw to which he has referred, and that the authors
he has named are authorities which cannot be dis?
regarded here, but whoso opinions and views are
conclusive on the question before tho House. The
difficulty is in applying that raw to the ciee before
it. The gentleman from Pennsylvania in the Thir?
teenth Congress announced what I considered to
be, and what tho country considered td be, a'start
ling proposition: that by reason of tho proclama?
tion ot blockade, so-called, tho war had becoma a
war between nations, and henceforth it was a
struggle between two great parties, and that tho
conquering party had a right to do with the con?
quered what it pleased. That wa- in tho face of
toe Eolemn proclamation of both Houses of Con?
gress, passed unanimously after tho straggle had
reached its height, after the first battle of Bull Run,
that it was not a war between nations, but it was a
war to enforce the provisions of the Constitution,
acknowledging ail the rights of the States, and de?
claring that as soon os. the struggle terminated,
terminato how it might, these States wero to be re
Btorod to their relations to the Union. The facts
of the case heretofore do not bear out tho infer?
ence which tho gentleman from Pennsylvania en?
deavors to give, the very sound law to which ho
has referred, but, on tho contrary, places ns in a
position in which we have said to tho world that
those principies of law do not apply, and did not
apply, to the struggle in which tho North was en?
gaged with the 8outh. As to tho gentlemen from
Massachusetts who first spoke (Mr. Boutwell), we
all kuow that this subject of impeachment has be?
come so thoroughly imbedded in his mind that
on uo occasion does he fail to present it to the
House. We are here called upon to discharge a
solemn duty under tho Constitution, and de?
clare whether, notwithstanding the reasons
which the President has assignod against
tho-pasBoge of the bill, it shall become a law. In?
stead of discussing that question, the gentleman
from Massachusetts has honored UB with the rea?
son why the Prosident should bo impeached.
Some or them, I believe, ?ie attempted to draw
from the language of the message But how does
that message close? What does tho President tell
you, after he has declared that this act is on out
raga on the Constitution, aud a violation of tho
great principles of English liberty? What does he
toll you? Where does ho appeal? Ho sayB ho ap?
peals to tho ballot-bos. Is the gentleman from
Massachusetts afraid of thal? He well may be, aa
it will soon tell a Btory that will bo utterly at vari?
ance with tho views he entertained. [Derisive
laughter on tho Bepublicnn sido of tho House.]
Part of tho spooch of tho gentleman would bo very
well io a political electioneering room, and part of
it would have been very well in tho year of tho
Fronch revolution, but it does not fit tho tompor of
our times. If there oo anything of constitutional
liberty left, ?hat a gentleman occupying the posi?
tion he docs, and under such circumstances, pro?
mulgate and urge such views
Tho fall of tho Speaker's hammer hore indicated
the close of the five minutes allowed to Mr.
Pruyn,
Mr. Wilson (of Ohio) said-I did not intend to
occupy one momont of tho time of tho House on
this question, until it seemed to bo rendered nec?
essary by the irregular course which lias been
pursued by two of my colleagues of the Judiciary
Committee (Butler and Williams), and some of.
tho words wmoh have tallon from the lips of tho
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Stevens). I will
not pretend to be cognizant with all tho laws and
all the history of England, and it may bo that I
do not understand tho question as fully as my
learned colleague (Williams). Ho has asserted
that he knows it all, and when a mau knows that,
he knows all that ho eau knout. He hos given us
his opiuiou in this case, I do not intend to cuter
upon the discussion of the case at aD. It is not
the proper tim?, nor can it be properly entered up?
on un til prcsented'to tho House in due form. When |
the House of Ito pre s en tat i ves charged the Judicia?
ry Committee with the investigation of this case,
I did not understand that a majority of tho House
sent the case to tho Committee for that Committee
to act upon it wholly as partisans. I understood
that so far as it imposed an obligation upon me, it I
was to fearlessly and faithfully investigate ..that
cas?, not as a Republican, but as a member of the
law committee of tho House of Representatives
of the United States; and, let me say, that I have
pushed the investigation in that light, and I affirm
here to-day that no amount of political pressure
aboil turn me aside from the conscientious dis
cuargo of my duty, as I find the ouse controlled by
the laws and the facts. [Applause on the Dem?
ocratic sido of tho -House.] I have no sym?
pathy with the course or political conduct of
the President of the United States; but, sir,
be is entitled to have the charges.made against
him investigated according to law, and, to
have the c IBO returned to * the Houso,
as tho facts and tho law Will warrant. Tho gen?
tleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Stevens) has said
there are secret influence?-?! work; It is ' easy for
any man to cast suspicion upon all other men,
when it is necessary to carry by force of party or?
ganization anything which ne may desire to prove
successful. I do not know to what influences tho
gentleman refers, not only controlling, as ho Bays,
the action of the members of the House, which
will prevent articles of impeachment boi.ig pre?
sented to the Senate,but controlling also members
of the Senate who ara to sit as a high court of im?
peachment, under the solemnity of their oath.
Sir, is every man to bs run down because ho can?
not look opon questions just as some othor men
view them; is every man to be hounded down in
tips country because ho wiU not Burronder tho
right of private judgment. Have, wo come to
that ?
li oro the fall of the Speaker's hammer indi?
cated tho termination of the gentleman's five min?
utas.

Tho Speaker announced that two-thirds having
voted in the affirmative, the bill had again passed
tho House, and, with the objections of the Presi?
