Men tuiuubce Wiii prevent &is irus jnirs?.
ing th*'".oe of argument I had intended,!
by touching uo the geueral questions ,
ducnsied in this debate. I have no time
to dean* policies or elucidate principles,
bat ahall ooofinv the little that I do say 1
to the facta and tuoriu of the case.
And what ia it with which the member
from South Carolina stands charged?
Attar all, aaj what*we will, do what wo
ma j, it in nothing but an assault and
bnttery?the moat common and the least i
degrading of alt tbn uuouoea known to the i
crier',nal code. I
I in tain these throe propositions: i
First, whatever offence baa bean oommitteu, 1
this Hcuae baa no juriadicticn over it: (
Second, if Mr. Sainner bra been badly i
beaten, he did not yet r. licit more than !
he richly demrved; and, last, although the >
number froir South Carolina may have '
vitiated the 1 .er of the law by a breach |
of the peuoe, ret, of all the culprit* that
ever stood charged before s tribunal, he
is the most exeat-able, and, instead of
deserving punishment, merit* your highest;
ooiumeudntion. i
A word as to your power to punish this
offeuoe?for I must protest against this 1
first step in the path of tyranny which you
are attempting to uke. You do not pre
Hud that you hare any "ruU of action" I'
known aud prescribed by "the nupremn j.
power" to govern you in thin case; but you
. My tb- ' ?ho Uw of bit condemnation is ;
your m eiion, biddoa and confined in
your own bosoms, wbioh no mortal man j
must know until' tbo destroying edict ia j i
" ready to blaat him. Sir, where law eoda
tyranny begins; diacration lathe unlimited j i
rule of your own will, ia ooutrary to the 11
pint and geoiua of American institutions, ' i
and ia not admitted aa a rule of action ta ) I
England no* ia aay oourt npon the !
America .1 continent. The oourte of eban- . 1
oery hare no auoh doctrine, an old law- J <
writer remarking that you might aa well j1
tuake the rule of juetico the length of the <
chancellor'* foot aa tb* uncontrolled I
discretion of hi* oot? science. I
If yon here power to punish offenoea 1
committed outside of }hie House, it is an I
unlimited power, extending to ojural aa . <
well aa criminal deeds, embracing all pan j 1
i ah meat from a petty fine to the penalty ,1
