PROTEST OF TIIE.PRESIDENT To the House of Representatives: By the Constitution of the United States it is provided, that "every hit! which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, sliall. before it become n law, he presented to the President of the United States; if he opprove, lie shall sign it; but if not, lie shall return it, with his objections, to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large upon the journal, and proceed to re-consider it." In strict compliance with the positive obligation thus imposed upon rne by the it was addressed. If, in assigning my objections to the bill, I had so far forgotten what was due to the House of Representatives as to impugn its motives in passing the hill, I should owe, not only to that House, but to the country, my most profound apology. Such departure from propriety is, however, not complained of in any proceeding which the House has adopted. It has, on the contrary, been expressly made a subject of remark, and almost of complaint, that the language in which my dissent was couched was studiously guarded and cautious. .Such being the character of the official communication in question, I confess I was wholly unprcpated for the course which has been pursued in regard to it. In the exercise of the power to Tegulatc its own proceedings, the House, fcr the first time, it is believed, in the history of the Government, thought proper, to refer the Message to a Select Committee of its own body, for the purpose (as my respect for the House would have compelled me to infer) of deliberately wcighIn" 1K0 Alii***tinns ur<red arrainst the bill " =? by the Executive, with a view to its own judgment upon the question of the final adoption or rejection of the measure. Of the temper and feelings in relation to myself of some of the members selected for the performance of this duty, I have nothing to say. Thnt was a matter entirely within the discretion of the House r.f Representatives. But that committee, taking a different view of its duty from that which I should have supposed had led to its creation, instead of confining itself to the objections urged against the hill, availed itself of the occasion formally to arraign the motives of the President for other of his acts since his introduction into office. In the absence of all proof, and as I am hound to declare, against all Jaw or precedent in parliamentary proceedings, anJ at the same time, in a manner which it would be difficult to reconcile with the comity hitherto sacredly observed in the intercourse between inde pendent and co-ordinate departments of the Government, it has assailed my whole official conduct, without a shadow of a # j pretext for such assault, and, stopping short of impeachment, has charged me, nevertheless, with offences declared to deserve impeachment. Had the extraordinary report which the Committee thus made to the House been permitted to remain without the sanction of the latter, I should not have uttered a regret, or complaint, upon the subject. J5ut, unaccompanied as it is by any particle of testimony to support the charges it contains, without u deliberate examination, almost without any discussion, the House cf lie preservatives lias been pleased to adopt it iis its own, and, thereby, to become my I accuser before the world. The High j character of such an accuser, the gravity i of the charges which has been made, and the judgment pronounced against me, by the adoption of the Report upon a distinct and separate vote of the House, leaves ine no alternative but to enter rny solemn protest against, the proceeding as unjust to myself as a man, as an invasion of rny constitutional powers as Chief Magistrate ol the American People, and as a violation, in my person, of rights secured to every citizen by the laws and the Constitution. That Constitution has entrusted to the House of Representatives the sole power of impeachment. Such impeachment is required to be tried befoie 1 he most august tribunal known to our institutions. The Senate cf the United States, composed uf the Representatives of the sovereignty of the States, is converted into a hall of justice, and in order to insure the strictest observance of the rules of evidence and of legal procedure, the Chief rif the United States, the highest judicial functionary of lite land, is required to preside over its deliberations. In the presence of such judicatory the the voice of faction is presumed to be silent, and the sentence of guilt or innocence is pronounced under the most sol-1 einn sanctions of religion, of honor, and; of law. To such a tribunal does the Constitution authorize the House of Representatives to carry up its accusations against any chief of the Department whom it may believe to bo guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. Before that tribunal the accused is confronted with hia accusers, and may demand the priv lege, which the justice of the common law secures to the humblest citizen, of a I' Constitution, not having heen ahle to bring myself to approve a hill which originated in the House of Representatives, entitled, "An act to provide revenue from inijiosts, and to change and modify existing laws imposing duties on imports, and for other purposes," I returned the same to the House, with mv objections to its becoming a law. These objections, which had entirely satisied my own mind of the great impolicy, if not the unconstitutionality, of the measure, were presented in the most respectful, and even deferential terms. I would not have heen so far forgetful of what was due from one r? department of the Government to another, as to have intentionally employed in my official intercourse with the Mouse, nny language that could be, in the slightest decree, offensive to those to whom full, patient and impartial inquiry into the c facts, upon the testimony of witnesses, ri- s rrillly examined, and deposing in the face | of dnv. If such a proceeding had been <: adopted toward me, unjust as 1 should cer- i tainly have regarded it, I should, I trust, t have met with a becoming constancy a ! r trial as painful as it would have been un- i deserved. 1 would have manifested, by a i t profound submission to the laws of my t country, my perfect faith in her justice, [ and relying on the purity of my motives, t and the rectitude of my conduct, should J have looked forward with confidence to a t triumphant refutation in the presence of t that country, and by the solemn judgment s of such a tribunal, not only of whatever charges might have been formerly prefer * " A ?II tknn??l!imnmcnr 1 reu agasnsi me, uui ui an mc bniun>u>w which I have hitherto been the unresist- j , ing victim. As it is, I have been accu- j . sed without evidence, and condemned j i without a hearing. As far as such proceedings can accomplish it, I am deprived of public confidence in the administration J of the Government, and denied even the ' boast ofa jrood name,?a name transmit. j ted to me from a patriot father, prized as my proudest inheritance, and carefully ! preserved for those who are to come after; 1 me, as the most precious of all earthly ' possessions. I am not only subjected to j( imputations affecting my character as an ' individual, but nin charged with offences against the country, so grave and so hein- ! ous as to deserve public disgrace and dis- , franchisement. I am charged with violating pledges which I never gave; and because I execute what I believe to be " the law, with usurping powers not con- 1 ferred by law ; and above all, with using 1 the powers conferred upon the President ' by the Constitution from corrupt motives 1 and for unwarrantable ends. And these I charges are made without any particle of ( evidence to sustain them, and as I so- ' lemnly affirm, without any foundation in ( truth. ! Why is a proceeding of this sort adopt- 1 ed at this time ? Is the occasion for it ' found in the fact, that having been elected to the second office under the Constitution by the free and voluntary suffrages j' of the People, I have succeeded to the ' first, according to the express provisions:, of the fundamental law of the same Peo- 1 pie? It is true that the succession of the 1 Vice President to the Chief Magistracy J has never occuircd before, and that all prudent and patriotic minds have looked , on this new trial of the wisdom and sta- j bility of our institutions with a somewhat, anxious concern. I have been made to , ! feel too sensibly the difficulties of my un- J prccedented position, not to know all that ! is intended to be conveyed in the reproach | cast upon a President without a party.? | But I found myself placed in this most i responsible station by no usurpation or contrivance of my own. I was called to , it under Providence, by the supreme law of the land, and the deliberately declared ' will of the People. It is by these, the | People, that I have been clothed with the ' ( high powers which they have seen fit to j; confide to their Chief Executive, and been i charged with the solemn responsibility un- j ' der which those powers are to be exercised. - - " it * It is to them 1 nold myself answeraoie, as | \ a moral agent, for a free and conscientious & discharge of the duties which they have , 1 imposed upon me. It is not as an ;a individual merely that I'm called on to re- ; 1 sist the encroachment of unconstitutional j power. I represent the Executive author- ; ity of the U. Stales; and it is in their J name, whose mere agent and servant I am,'t and whose will declared it their funda- j I mental law, I dare not, even were I in-) clined, to disobey, that I protest against every attempt to break down the undoubted constitutional power of this department : without a solemn amendment of that fun-1 damental law. ! I am determined to uphold the Constitution in this, as in other respects, to the utmost of my ability, and in defiance of nil personal consequences. What may l happen to an individual is of little impor- J tance; but the Constitution of the country, or any of its great and clear principles and provisions, is too sacred to he sur- rendered, under any circumstances what| ever, by those who are charged with its! | protection and defence. Least of all ! r should he be held guiltless, who, placed at j .j the head of one of the great departments ti of the Government, should shrink from I1 the exercise of its unquestionable author \ ! ' ity on the most important occasions, and ? -l- '-I - u/illmnt q cf riiiTfr!**, Ill l?f. !

It may be desirable, as the rnn- j jority of the House of Representatives has j declared it is, that no such checks upon I the will of the Legislature should be suf- J fered to continue. This is a matter for j the People and States to decide ; but un- J til they shall have decided it, 1 shall feel 'I myself bound to execute, without fear or favor, the law, as it has been written by J our predecessors. j I protest against this whole proceeding 1 of the House of Representatives, as ex \ ' parte and extrajudicial. I protest against' it, as subversive of the common right of! j ail citizens to be condemned only upon a b fnir imnartial trial according to law and t< ?. ? r w : evidence before the country.

I ; >rotest against it, in the name of all re- l ,minted liberty, and all limited Govern- J ncnt, as a proceeding tending to the uter destruction of the checks and balances >f the Constitution, and the accumulating " n the hands of the House of Representa- |( ives, or a bare majority of Congress for g he time being, an uncontrolled and des- c >otic power. And I respectfully ask, that " ' i l Ins, my l'rotest, may oe emerea upon mc lournnl of Ihe House of Representatives, is a solemn and formal declaration, for all ime to come, of the injustice and unconititutionality of such a proceeding.

Those who have tl ortunes to spend may buy the vast works of r Marshall, Dickson Arthur Young, Loudon, Lc., but those who wish to gel a fortune out )f the soil will find the French writers better " iblc to show thein the way. The excellence jt French clementa;y works is well known to til teachers.
