From the Baltimore Federal Gazette. NUMBER II.
The committee have not stated in their report any acts of misconduct of Judge Chase on the trial of Thomas Cooper on the indictment against him for a libel on president Adams. But it appears from the depositions of Mr. Rawle and of Mr. Cadwell; that Judge Chase directed Mr. Cadwell the clerk of the court of Pennsylvania, not to issue a subpoena for president Adams, to testify for Cooper on his trial. That judge Chase refused the subpoena no proof is required; but the committee give no opinion, whether this refusal is a crime or a misdemeanor, for which he is subject to impeachment. Mr. Cooper was indicted for the publication of several distinct, false and malicious accusations with an intent to defame him; and he pleaded that several matters alleged by him of president Adams were true. To maintain the truth of his plea he required the evidence of president Adams. Judge Chase was of opinion that he could not be compelled to appear and testify in favor of Cooper; and therefore he directed the clerk not to issue the subpoena. It would be waste of time to discuss the question whether judge Chase was correct in his opinion or not, because because it would only amount to an error in judgment.
If any person think the judge ought to have granted the subpoena he must show that president Adams was a legal witness for Cooper, and obliged to give evidence in his favor; or it necessarily follows that it was improper to require this attendance for that purpose. But if president Adams was a legal witness for Cooper and the judge refused process to compel his attendance it will not follow that for such refusal he is subject to impeachment, unless his refusal flowed from partiality, or some other unworthy motive. Is there any ground for this dishonorable suspicion? Can no legal and satisfactory reasons be assigned to justify, or at least to excuse judge Chase for his refusal of the subpoena? Any person who will take the trouble to read Cooper's publication of his trial, will be fully satisfied that he had a legal fair and full hearing, with every indulgence.
The third enquiry of the committee appears to be the conduct of judge Chase on the trial of Callender at Richmond, in Virginia, in May 1800, for a libel against president Adams. The depositions of only three persons have been taken Messrs. George Hay and Philip Norborne Nicholas and Wm. Robinson. The two first were the counsel for Callender, and the last took short notes of the trial. Mr. Nicholas is the present district attorney for Virginia. It is again to be observed, that the committee state no act of misconduct of judge Chase on the trial of Callender; but leave it to the House to form their opinion on a consideration of the testimony reported. It may be fairly collected from the examination of the depositions of Messrs. Hay and Nicholas, that their evidence was taken to prove that judge Chase misconducted himself in two particulars.
First. That he refused a continuance of the case, upon the facts stated in an affidavit of Callender, filed in court. It is incontrovertible, that judge Chase did refuse to continue the case until the next term. The indictment against Callender is reported by the committee, and the affidavit of Callender for a continuance of the cause. It has ever been considered as unquestionable law, that every court of justice may in its discretion decide, whether any case (civil or criminal) shall be tried, or continued subject only to a revision of a superior court. If the house of representatives shall enquire into the legality of the opinion of judge Chase, in refusing a continuance, they will erect themselves into a court of appeals, and review the decision of a court of law. If judge Chase committed an error in judgment, in refusing a continuance, it is believed that it can only be revised and corrected by the supreme court, by setting aside the judgment and directing a new trial.
The enquiry into the motives of action in a judge, is the proper jurisdiction of the house of representatives; but the decision of a question of law belongs to another forum. It may happen, that a judge may give a correct legal opinion, and yet assign weak reasons in support of it. — Mr. Hay states that the motion for a continuance was instantly overruled. Mr. Nicholas states, that before the motion was finally decided on by the court, they directed the cause to lie over for a few days, &c. The second instance, in which judge Chase is alleged to have misconducted himself, on the trial of Callender, is this, that he could not permit col. John Taylor to answer three questions propounded to him, and which judge Chase required to be stated in writing by Callender's counsel; and declared that the evidence of col. John Taylor was inadmissible.
* The reasons assigned by Judge Chase for refusing a continuance, published in the Virginia Federalist of 18th June, 1800, a Page 46 of the report. b Page 49 of the report c Page 53 of the report d Page 53, to 55 & 85 of the report e Page 3 to 64 and 84 of the report f Page to of the report g Page 55 of the report h Page 59 of the report i Page 56 and 61 of the report
This fact is also indisputable. It appears that the indictment against Callender consisted of two counts; that each count contained twenty different and distinct charges, and that the twelfth charge is in these words, 'That he (president Adams meaning) was a professed aristocrat. He (meaning the said president) had proved faithful and serviceable to the British interest, meaning against the interest and welfare of the United States of America.' If this charge was false, it was the most scandalous, malicious and infamous that can be conceived.
Callender was indicted under the sedition law, which allowed him to give the truth of any charge alleged in the indictment in evidence to the jury, under the direction of the court. Is it not a self evident proposition, that the truth of this charge ought to have been proved by legal and direct evidence, and not argumentatively, or by inference and deduction. Will any professional gentleman controvert this position? No legal character will say, that the allegation by Callender in his publication, that president Adams was a professed aristocrat, was an offence, for which Callender could be indicted under the sedition law.
The term 'aristocrat' has no fixed, certain or determinate meaning in law, or in common usage or parlance.
In antient Greece aristocracy meant the government of men of education and property; — and at last, it signified the government of Magistrates chosen by the people, in opposition to the government of the multitude. In Italy it has had for ages, a very different and contrary meaning, as a government by nobles—in France, before the abolition of monarchy, it signified titles and feudal prerogatives. In America it means all wealthy and rich men, and the officers of the Federal government—and at this time by leading democrats, and their followers, it is a term of REPROACH.
The gist or substance of the charge, in the indictment against Callender, in contemplation of law and with impartial and sensible men is this — that Mr. Adams had proved faithful and serviceable to the British interest—meaning against the interest and welfare of the United States of America, which meaning has been found by the jury to be true.
It was proposed by the two learned counsel for Callender to prove by Col. Taylor, three facts viz. That he (col. Taylor) heard Mr. Adams express sentiments favorable to monarchy or aristocracy. If these two learned men of the law were of opinion that this fact, if proved, would establish the truth of part of the charge, to wit, 'that president Adams was a professed aristocrat' — yet it would not prove the residue of the charge, 'that he, president Adams had proved faithful and serviceable to the British interest,' and, as alleged in the indictment, 'against the interest and welfare of the United States.' It appears to a man, not a lawyer, that a man might express sentiments favorable to monarchy or aristocracy and be neither a monarchist nor aristocrat.
2d. It was also proposed by the two learned counsel for Callender to prove, by col. Taylor, 'that he heard Mr. Adams whilst vice president, express his disapprobation of the funding system.' Can any man think, that this fact had any relation to the twelfth charge in the indictment? — Can any person believe that Mr. Adams's disapprobation of the funding system either proved him a professed aristocrat, or that he was faithful and serviceable to the British interest? If this evidence would prove either assertion, then the great and leading characters in Virginia, and thousands of the principal men in the other states, entertained and published their disapprobation of the funding system, and stand in the same predicament with Mr. Adams. How puerile and passion blind the understandings of men! That the attorney general and the district attorney of Virginia, two of the most eminent lawyers in that commonwealth, should make so palpable a blunder, can only be imputed to the evil spirit of democracy, which created a temporary insanity.
3d. These two learned counsel in the law also proposed to prove by col. Taylor, 'that John Adams, in '94 voted against the sequestration of British debts and for stopping all intercourse with Great Britain.' Worse and worse! the furor of democracy increases.
There are two facts contained in this evidence. 1st. The voting in '94, against the sequestration of British debts.
2d. The voting against the stopping all intercourse with Great Britain.
If a member of congress voted in '94 against a sequestration of British debts, is such vote proper or sufficient evidence to satisfy a jury that he is a professed aristocrat? Good, very good! and is the same vote against the sequestration also proper and sufficient evidence to convince a jury that he was faithful and serviceable to the British interest! Better and better still! again, if a member of congress voted in '94 against the stoppage of all intercourse with Great Britain, is such vote good and sufficient proof that he was a professed aristocrat! and also, that he was faithful and serviceable to the British interest? How great and wonderful is human reason? Could not these two learned counsel in the law have deduced another inference from the same vote, to wit, "that John Adams was an enemy to his country?" These learned, very learned counsellors at law, might have reflected, that a majority of the house
j Page 93 to 105 of the report
of representatives gave the same vote as Mr. Adams.
But let it be conceded that the judge should have admitted Col. Taylor to have answered the three questions propounded to him. Is he impeachable for his refusal? If he refused from partiality, or other base motive, let him be impeached and punished. Is it conceivable, that the judge was influenced by any unworthy motive? The testimony of col. Taylor was only offered to prove the truth of one, (the twelfth) charge. — If the proof was sufficient for that purpose, Callender would have been acquitted of that charge and found guilty of the nineteen other charges in the indictment. How foolish as well as wicked must judge Chase have acted, to refuse evidence, if proper, when it only went to the acquittal of one charge out of twenty.
Can it be conceived by any impartial man, that he refused the evidence of colonel Taylor, from any other cause, but a conviction that it was inadmissible in law? If judge Chase refused to receive the evidence of colonel Taylor from any partial or corrupt motive, he ought to be impeached and removed from his office as unworthy of it; but if he only erred in his judgment it is repugnant to justice and the principles of our government, and destructive of the independence of our national judiciary to impeach him.
Humanity revolts against inflicting punishment on a man who follows the light of his understanding and the dictates of his conscience. Before a judge should be convicted and removed from office, and declared unworthy to hold any office under the government there ought to be the clearest and plainest proof of partiality or corruption. The public welfare, the pure administration of justice the safety of individuals from injury and oppression, all combine to require an inviolable adherence to this principle. DETECTOR.

FRIDAY, MARCH 30.
Mr. Randolph, from the committee appointed for that purpose, made on Monday the following report, which was ordered to be on the table.
REPORT
Of the committee appointed to prepare ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT against SAMUEL CHASE, one of the associate justices of the SUPREME COURT of the UNITED STATES.
ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT.
Articles exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States, in the name of themselves, and of all the people of the United States, against Samuel Chase, one of the associate justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, in maintenance and support of their impeachment against him, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
ARTICLE I.
That, unmindful of the solemn duties of his office, and contrary to the sacred obligation by which he stood bound to discharge them, "faithfully and impartially, and without respect to persons," the said Samuel Chase, on the trial of John Fries, charged with treason, before the circuit court of the United States, held for the district of Pennsylvania, in the city of Philadelphia, during the months of April and May, one thousand eight hundred, whereat the said Samuel Chase presided, did, in his judicial capacity, conduct himself in a manner highly arbitrary, oppressive, and unjust; viz:—
1. In delivering an opinion in writing, on the question of law, on the construction of which the defence of the accused materially depended, tending to prejudice the minds of the jury against the case of the said John Fries, the prisoner, before counsel had been heard in his defence.
2. In restricting the counsel for the said Fries from recurring to such English authorities as they believed apposite, or from citing certain statutes of the United States, which they deemed illustrative of the positions, upon which they intended to rest the defence of their client.
3. In debarring the prisoner from his constitutional privilege of addressing the jury (through his counsel) on the law, as well as on the fact, which was to determine his guilt, or innocence, and at the same time endeavouring to wrest from the jury their indisputable right to hear argument, and determine upon the question of law, as well as the question of fact, involved in the verdict which they were required to give.
ARTICLE II.
That, in consequence of this irregular conduct of the said Samuel Chase, as dangerous to our liberties, as it is novel to our laws and usages, the said John Fries was deprived of the right, secured to him by the eighth article amendatory of the constitution, and was condemned to death without having been heard, by counsel, in his defence, to the disgrace of the character of the American Bench, in manifest violation of law and justice, and in open contempt of the rights of juries, on which ultimately rest the liberty and safety of the American people.
ARTICLE III.
That, prompted by a similar spirit of persecution and injustice, at a circuit court of the United States, held at Richmond, in the month of May, 1800; for the district of Virginia, whereat the said Samuel Chase presided, and before which a certain James Thompson Callender was arraigned for a libel on John Adams, then President of the United States, the said Samuel Chase, with intent to oppress, and procure the conviction of the said Callender, did overrule the objection of John Bassett, one of the jury, who wished to be excused from serving on the said trial, because he had made up his mind, as to the publication from which the words, charged to be libelous, in the indictment, were extracted; and the said Bassett was accordingly sworn, and did serve on the said jury.
ARTICLE IV.
That, the evidence of John Taylor, a material witness on behalf of the aforesaid Callender, was not permitted by the said Samuel Chase to be given in, because the said witness could not prove the truth of the whole of one of the charges contained in the indictment, although the said charge embraced more than one fact.
ARTICLE V.
That the conduct of the said Samuel Chase, was marked, during the whole course of the said trial, by manifest in-
justice, partiality and intemperance; viz.
1. In refusing to postpone the trial, although an affidavit was regularly filed, stating the absence of material witnesses on behalf of the accused:
2. In the use of unusual, rude and contemptuous expressions towards the prisoner's counsel; and in insinuating that they wished to excite the public fears and indignation and to produce that insubordination to law, to which the conduct of the judge did at the same time manifestly tend:
3. In repeated and vexatious interruptions of the said counsel, on the part of the said judge, which at length induced them to abandon their cause and their client, who was thereupon convicted and condemned to fine and imprisonment:
4. In an indecent solicitude, manifested by the said Samuel Chase, for the conviction of the accused, unbecoming even a public prosecutor, but highly disgraceful to the character of a judge as it was subversive of justice.
ARTICLE VI.
That, at a circuit court of the United States, for the district of Delaware, held at New-Castle, in the month of June, one thousand eight hundred, whereat the said Samuel Chase presided, the said Samuel Chase, disregarding the duties of his office, did descend from the dignity of a judge and stoop to the level of an informer, by refusing to discharge the grand jury, although entreated by several of the said jury so to do; and after the said grand jury had regularly declared, through their foreman, that they had found no bills of indictment, nor had any presentments to make, by observing to the said grand jury, that he, the said Samuel Chase, understood "that a highly seditious temper had manifested itself in the state of Delaware, among a certain class of people, particularly in New-Castle county, and more especially in the town of Wilmington, where lived a most seditious printer, unrestrained by any principle of virtue, and regardless of social order, that the name of this printer was"—but checking himself, as if sensible of the indecorum which he was committing added—"that it might be assuming too much to mention the name of this person, but it becomes your duty, gentlemen, to enquire diligently into this matter:" and that with intention to procure the prosecution of the printer in question, the said Samuel Chase did, moreover, authoritatively enjoin on the district attorney of the United States the necessity of procuring a file of the papers to which he alluded, (and which were understood to be those published under the title of "Mirror of the Times and General Advertiser,"—and by a strict examination of them to find some passage which might furnish the ground-work of a prosecution against the printer of the said paper; thereby degrading his high judicial functions, and tending to impair the public confidence in, and respect for, the tribunals of justice, so essential to the general welfare.
ARTICLE VII.
And whereas mutual respect and confidence between the government of the United States and those of the individual states, and between the people and those governments, respectively, are highly conducive to that public harmony, without which there can be no public happiness, yet the said Samuel Chase, disregarding the duties and dignity of his judicial character, did, at a circuit court, for the district of Maryland, held at Baltimore, in the month of May, one thousand eight hundred and three, pervert his official right and duty to address the grand jury then and there assembled, on the matters coming within the province of the said jury, for the purpose of delivering to the said grand jury an intemperate and inflammatory political harangue, with intent to excite the fears and resentment of the said grand jury, and of the good people of Maryland, against their state government, and constitution, a conduct highly censurable in any, but peculiarly indecent and unbecoming in a judge of the supreme court of the United States; and moreover that the said Samuel Chase, then and there, under pretence of exercising his judicial right to address the said grand jury, as aforesaid, did, in a manner highly unwarrantable, endeavour to excite the odium of the said grand jury, and of the good people of Maryland against the government of the United States, by delivering opinions, which, even if the judicial authority were competent to their expression, on a suitable occasion and in a proper manner, were at that time and as delivered by him, highly indecent, extrajudicial and tending to prostitute the high judicial character with which he was invested to the low purpose of an electioneering partizan.
And the house of Representatives, by
protestation, saving to themselves the liberty of exhibiting at any time hereafter, any farther articles or other accusation or impeachment against the said Samuel Chase and also of replying to his answers which he shall make unto the said articles, or any of them, and offering proof to all and every of the aforesaid articles, and to all and every other article, impeachment, or accusation, which shall be exhibited by them, as the case shall require, do demand that the said Samuel Chase may be put to answer the said crimes & misdemeanors, and that such proceedings, examinations, trials and judgments may be thereupon had and given as are agreeable to law and justice.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman now in England to his friend in Philadelphia, dated London, Jan. 30, 1804.
It is said that France threatens Denmark, that Spain must engage in the quarrel with England, and that Russia supports a great military establishment to preserve the continental system.
The invasion is the most inexhaustible subject for rumour!—the invasion!—the Terror of both hemispheres—the ne plus ultra of consular achievement, will not take place to-morrow nor next day, nor in a century.
I believe it was never intended, though men of more skill have thought otherwise, and like-wise men that have prepared for the combat.
Bonaparte was lately at Calais, when a part of his Armada was sent to a neighbouring port—A detachment from Admiral Cornwallis's fleet cut them off—the confus was in flight—Yet the equipment of these gun boats progresses.
The funds have advanced from the general belief that the season for the Expedition is nearly over and from the circumstance of eight general officers being at the Queen's Levee.
Though the danger is not dreaded, the measures of defence are not discontinued—Patriotism is the prevailing virtue in England. The heir apparent to the Crown and the heir to a hand organ would take the field together.
The friends to administration and the anti ministerialists would be united in arms.
I not only think that the invasion was never intended by Bonaparte, but that if it was it would be found impracticable to effect a landing.
Although William succeeded in 1688, he possessed advantages which Bonaparte cannot employ—his cause was different. The resources of his country were different, as well as those of the enemy. William had a fleet at command, and none of equal force to encounter; he had an army superior in number and discipline; fought a divided people; he did not boast of intended exploits a year before their commencement; he forced not his foldiers from the continent; he thought not of p.lry gun boats, his first dependence was on his navy, not a Navy blockaded , but one that swept the seas, and could awe the Universe.
On landing he found one Harold; five hundred Harolds would meet Bonaparte in the Sur.
From the fate of a small part of the flotilla, we may predict the destiny of all that may venture out.
Died last night Mr. Adam Swoope. His friends and acquaintance are requested to attend his funeral from the dwelling house of Mr. M'Iffe, corner of Royal and Prince-streets, this afternoon at four o'clock.

He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good clothing, a description of which is unnecessary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he absconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. JOHN MOTE, late of this town, but now said to be free. The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the discovery of those who have been accessory to his concealment.

N. B. Prizes subjected to a deduction of fifteen per cent.
This lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake of the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are paid, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
