CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday, January 6.
DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for the appoint- ment of a committee of enquiry into the official conduct of SAMUEL CHASE.
(Continued.)
Mr. Smilie. When the motion now under consideration was made yesterday, I should have felt surprised at the course which the debate took, had I not often wit- nessed such things in former times. It seems to be considered as improper that a gentleman should bring forward a motion for an enquiry into the official conduct of a public officer and expect the house to com- ply with his request unless he should at the same time produce such evidence as shall prove the facts charged. If this course of proceeding be correct, I have ever been in error. What does the gentleman from Virginia ask? Suppose he has taken ex- ception to the conduct of the judge from some facts which have come to his own knowledge. Under such circumstances it will be allowed that it is the duty of the House to make the enquiry. When the question shall be whether an impeachment shall be preferred, it will be proper that evi- dence should be produced. But now only a committee is asked for, to receive evi- dence, and to determine whether it be such, as in their opinion will afford grounds for an impeachment. It is impossible for me to conceive any way that can be pursued which will be more favorable to the person whose character is implicated than that which is proposed. It is merely to en- quire whether such facts can be sustained as will afford grounds for an impeachment. Certainly in this stage of the business it is not necessary to produce evidence to the House, as the House are not competent to receive testimony, which a committee is. It is a rule of this house that so much respect is due to a member that if he states that he possesses information proper to be communicated to the house, but which in his opinion ought not to be done but with closed doors, that in such case the doors shall be shut without any vote of the house. Surely then, on the request of a member for a committee of enquiry, that measures ought to be adopted. This in my opinion, is the best course that can be pursued for the person implicated. There is, it is true thereby expressed an opinion of some one member that this judge has done wrong. So far his character is implicated; this is the only possible way in which it is impli- cated. The committee are to enquire whether there are grounds for an impeach- ment or not. If they report that there are not grounds, the accusation will be dismiss- ed; and if the report is that there are grounds, the house will at once perceive the necessity of taking this step to ascertain their existence.
Another ground of resistance is taken. It is said there are no precedents for this proceeding. I believe that all precedents must have had an origin; and that one body has as good a right to establish them as another. Our government is young, and only two cases of impeachment have oc- cured under it. Most of our precedents respecting parliamentary proceedings are borrowed from England, and if precedents are necessary in this affair, we must resort to that country for them. My opinion is that they are not necessary; and that com- mon sense and the reason of the thing are all that are necessary to guide our decision in this case. There is, however, in the British annals no deficiency of precedent. The first I shall mention is to be found in the case of the Earl of Strafford. I may be told that this precedent was established in turbulent times; I may be also told of the improper mode of proceeding. I do not pretend to vindicate the whole course of procedure. I think it was wrong. But with regard to the first stages of the busi- ness, I believe them to have been correct. It will be seen that in that instance a more direct mode was pursued than is proposed in the present case.
The precedent I allude to will be found in Hume's History, vol. 2, page 249.— That historian says, "A concerted attack was made upon the earl of Strafford in the House of Commons. It was led by Pym, who after expatiating on a long list of po- pular grievances, we must inquire, added he, from what fountain these waters of bit- terness flow; and though doubtless many
evil counsellors will be found to have con- tributed their endeavours, yet is there one who challenges the infamous pre-eminence and who by his courage, enterprise and ca- pacity, is entitled to the first place among these betrayers of their country. He is the earl of Strafford, lieutenant of Ireland, and president of the council of York, who in both places and in all other provinces, where he has been entrusted with authority, has raised ample monuments of tyranny, and will appear from a survey of his actions to be the chief promoter of every arbitrary council. Many others entered into the same topics, it was moved that Strafford should be impeached. Lord Falkland a- lone though the known enemy of Strafford, entreated the house not to act with preci- pitation. But Pym replied that delay would blast all their hopes, without farther debate the impeachment was voted, and Pym was chosen to carry it up to the Lords."
In this case, it does not appear that any evidences was called for; a member of the House of Commons got up and declared his opinion of that officer, and at the same ses- sion an impeachment was voted. This course of proceeding is very different from that now proposed.
I will now refer to a more modern pre- cedent, which at the time does not appear to have been objected to. It occurred in the reign of George I. and will be found stated in Russell's Modern Europe, vol. 4th, page 398.
"A new parliament was called, in which the interest of the whigs predominated, and a secret committee chosen by ballot, was appointed to examine all the papers, and enquire into all the negotiations rela- tive to the late peace, as well as the ces- sation of arms, by which it was preced- ed."
"The Committee of Secrecy prosecuted their enquiry with the greatest eagerness: and, in consequence of their report, the Commons resolved to impeach lord Boling- broke, the earl of Oxford, and the duke of Ormond, of high treason."
One circumstance is worthy of attention. A cause of dissatisfaction at the conduct of the judge has undoubtedly prevailed. Whether he is wrongfully accused I will not say. But the dissatisfaction is mani- fest; for the representatives of two res- pectable states lately come forward and op- posed his being assigned to circuits which embraced their states. This single fact ought to make an impression on the house. It is alledged that there is no proof be- fore the House. But one thing is notori- ous, is universally known. It is this, that this man (Fries) was tried before that judge for his life, and was tried without being heard. This fact cannot be disputed.— When we consider the importance of the life of a citizen, and know that such an e- vent has taken place, is it not the duty of the only body competent to enquire into the fact. With other gentlemen I believe that the fountains of justice ought to be kept pure; I believe also that judges are like other men, and that like them they are subject to the common frailties of human nature; and I do believe that when the frailties of human nature produce such ef- fects, the House cannot be justified to themselves, to their country without mak- ing an enquiry. Our duty to our country calls for it; our duty to the man whose character is implicated also calls for it. If innocent, a proper regard to his charac- ter claims it; and his friend from Mary- land informs us that he will rejoice at this opportunity of coming forward and vindic- ating himself. If, then, the enquiry be equally necessary for placing the character of the man upon its proper footing and for preserving the purity of justice, how can the house resist it?
Mr. Dennis said he had only expressed an opinion that such an investigation would be rather solicited than avoided by Judge Chase.
(To be continued.)
From the Charleston Courier.
[THE following is said to be a trans- lation of a portion of the Jewish history that should have its place about the latter end of the tenth Chapter of the books of 2d. Chronicles; but as it is not to be found in any of the manuscripts in the Vatican, nor in any of those that were in the hands of Walton or Kennicott, some deem it to be apocryphal. However, as it seems to have reference to some transactions in the Reign of Rehoboam, and is curious in itself, we will give it to our readers as it is, without guaranteeing its authenticity.]
1. Now when Rehoboam was come up to Jerusalem, he called together the old men who had stood before David his fa-
ther, and the young men who were brought up with himself, and they stood before him.
2. And he said unto them what think ye—shall I continue the appointments of the army of my father David; namely the captain of the host, the six mighty men, and thirty captains who fought valiantly with my father David?
3. Am I not now in peace with all the na- tions round about; the Syrians, the Moa- bites, the Edomites, and the Egyptians; from the Great River to the River of E- gypt? (For David had conquered the Philistines, and had occupied Gath and her towns, and governed the whole country on the coast of the Great Sea, from the River of Egypt unto Mount Carmel, on the bor- ders of the Zidonians.)
4. Moreover am I a man of war like my father David? And seeing that we have lived in peace with all the nations since his death, think ye, Ought I to tread in the footsteps of David my father, who was a man of war from his youth?
5. Will not these nations, seeing that I am not a man of war, make leagues of ami- ty with me, like as the King of Tyre made with father my David, that every man may be under his own vine, and under his own fig-tree and none may make him a- fraid?
6. And as for the fleet of ships that were built by this his son, who hath ruled over you since his death. Have they not been built chiefly for his own glory; because the King of Tyre, who lives on the sea- side, and whose servants have great know- ledge of the sea, would join with him to send them to Opher and Tarshish, places afar off, which neither we nor our fathers had known?
7. Ought we not to sell these ships, and to keep the money for our own use, seeing that we mean to rule peaceably?
8. And some gave counsel after this manner and some after the other man- ner.
9. Howbeit, Rehoboam hearkened unto the counsel of the young men that were brought up with him, and forsook the coun- sel of the old men who had stood before David his father.
10. And he set aside the mighty men, with the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds that had fought with his fa- ther David; and over the remainder of the host he promoted a few of the young men who had been brought up with him- self.
11. And he sold or laid up the greatest part of the fleet of ships that was built when the other son of David ruled in the land; and there was peace for three years.
12. Now it came to pass in the begin- ning of the fourth year, that one of the ships that had not been sold fell into the hands of one of the kings of the Hittites, who inhabited the coast of the great sea, to the west of the land of Egypt; and they made captives of the mariners, who were many in number, and threw them into dungeons, and fed them upon bread and water.
13. And the people of the land began to murmur against Rehoboam, because of the captivity of their brethren, for such a thing had not happened unto Israel since their deliverance from the hands of Pharaoh.
14. And Rehoboam again took counsel and it seemed good in their eyes to levy a tax upon the people of the land, of one fortieth of their expenditures therewith to build two small ships, and to send some money to the Hittites for the deliverance of their brethren, who were in captivity; howbeit the people murmured.
15. And there came a young man, one of the sons of the prophet, and stood before Rehoboam and the elders of the people and said unto them,
16. Hear now, thou Rehoboam and all ye counsellors, the word of truth which, in the name of the people, I speak unto you this day.
17. Have ye not lulled this people into a false security, by not making them ac- quainted with the danger that threatened them from the heathen all around? And have ye provided sufficient means of de- fence from dangers that might await them? Or have you calculated on any thing but uninterrupted peace and prosperity to this people?
18. Where is now the fleet of ships that was built by your predecessor, who follow- ed the footsteps of your father David; that you send them not against the Hittites who have thus taken your brethren into bondage, and are using them cruelly?
19. Or, if ye have sold these ships by the advice of evil counsellors, where is the mo- ney, that ye might buy a like number of ships from the king of Tyre immediately to ena- ble you to compel the heathens to release your brethren from bondage and capti- vity?

20. Is it well, O Rehoboam, to have to impose this tax of a fortieth upon the wants and the industry of thy own people, when thy own treasury should not be unprovided for such an occurrence? More especially since thou caused to be sold so many of the ships that were built by thy predecessor, to enrich thy treasury therewith?
21. But now since this distress is come upon thy people, do not thou delay to adopt immediately the means for their release from bondage; but hearken unto the words that I now speak before thee.
22. Gird up thy loins and appear like a man of might and with what ships thou hast yet left, and with what thou hast in thy treasury procure more ships immediately, and send a larger fleet of ships into the great sea than hath ever been sent by thy people heretofore; and be prepared to carry ruin and destruction among the Hittites, if they should refuse to release thy brethren from captivity.
23. Rememberest thou not what a former king of Tyre (who reigned some time before that king who made the league with thy father David) did unto the same nation, when a like occurrence happened to him as has now happened unto thy people?
24. Behold he sent a fleet of ships, with captains of hundreds and captains of fifties, well provided, to carry war and desolation into the country, with a message to their king, saying,
25. "Forasmuch as some of my people hath fallen into thy hands, and I am told that thou are making my people slaves, yea, bondmen unto thy people, a thing which has not befallen my people heretofore, nor shall now."
26. "Now therefore, attend to what I say unto thee; either release my people that you have in captivity, and send them to my ships immediately, or I will burn your cities with fire, razed their walls to the ground, and put you and your people to the edge of the sword; and mine eye shall not spare; my power is equal to my threat; and as I have to others, so shall I do to thee."
27. Behold the king of the Hittites was afraid, and he restored the captives of the king of Tyre, and begged to make a peace with the king of Tyre; neither hath that nation annoyed the inhabitants of Tyre unto this day.
28. Now therefore, go forth, be strong; behold the expences of this preparation will not be heavy upon thy people, and thou mayest impress an opinion of thy strength among the other nations of the Hittites, that may make them afraid wantonly to provoke thee, or to demand tribute of thee, so that this preparation may be of future as well as present benefit to the people, whom the God of thy father hath appointed thee to protect.
29. Nevertheless, thou mayest instruct thy Captains, that if they see the lives of thy brethren endangered, by the desperation that the Hittites may be driven into by this invasion, that they may give money for their redemption at once; and the impression of the greatness of thy power, or thy resolution to act when thou thinkest it proper, may not be weakened in the minds of the heathen; for fear operates more powerfully upon them than a sense of justice.
30. Now it will be better for thy people that thou thus redeem thy brethren (even if fear fails immediately to operate upon the heathens for their release) than to go with a small force to beg their restoration for a price, because thy apparent weakness will not only authorise a great demand, but encourage future insults to thy brethren: a thing which neither this people nor their forefathers ever could bear.
31. Howbeit, if thou wilt not hearken unto my words, but wilt follow the counsel of the young men who advised thee to sell thy ships, then know, that the government shall be rent from thee and shall be given unto thy neighbour who is better than thou.
32. When Rehoboam heard these words he was sore troubled, and he went into his house to call for some of the old servants of David his father, to take counsel respecting the words of the young man the son of the prophet.

French Depredations.  Has the Government of France proclaimed the Island of St. Domingo in a state of blockade? Has the commander of the French marauders on that station given us a notice that the Island is blockaded? Then what pretence can be offered to palliate, in the least degree, the piracy committed on our commerce in those seas? The suffering interests of America call aloud for another "small force" near the Island of Hayti, or in lions will soon be sacrificed without the least prospect of indemnity. What a different system of policy Mr. Jefferson pursues—he leads commerce with tax—he refuses it protection. Merchants must make brick but they are allowed no straw. [Repertory.]
When Mr. Rodney's motion in the house of Representatives of the United States to extinguish state balances, lately came before the committee of the whole, the enlightened, honorable N——n K——t, of R. I. a little mistaking the question, got up, and very gravely observed "He hoped their attention would be turned on the Hudson Balance in the neighboring state of New York as the first that ought to be extinguished—and he felt glad that the legislature was going to interfere in the extinguishment of these mischievous vehicles of slander" (R. Island pap.)
POLITICAL PREDICTIONS.  [The following passage is selected from Adams's Defence of the American Constitutions. The sentiments which it contains, though written many years since, exhibit, in a very forcible, and striking manner, the situation in which we are now placed. In every part the popular branches of our governments are grasping for the whole power. In every part encroachments are made upon the legitimate authorities of the Judicial and executive branches; judges are deposed; the powers of courts are curtailed; all things conspire to prove that the dread crisis is approaching when all the powers of the government will be seized upon by the popular branches of our legislature; and in due time, according to former experience handed over to an individual, military tyrant. [U. S. G.]
"The desires of men are not only exorbitant but endless; they grasp at all; and can form no scheme of perfect happiness with less. Ever since men have been formed into governments, the endeavors after universal monarchy have been bandied among them; the Athenians, the Spartans, the Thebans, and the Achaians several times aimed at the universal dominion of Greece: the commonwealths of Carthage and Rome affected the universal empire of the world. In like manner has universal empire been pursued, by the several powers in each particular state, wherein single persons have met with most success, though the endeavors of the few and the many have been frequent enough; yet being neither so uniform in their designs, nor so direct in their views, they neither could manage nor maintain the power they had got, but were deceived by the popular ambition of some single person: so that it will be always a wrong step in policy, for the nobles or commons to carry their endeavors after power so far as to overthrow the balance. With all respect for popular assemblies be it spoken, it is hard to recollect one folly, infirmity or vice, to which a single man is subject, and from which a body of commons, either collective or represented, can be wholly exempt; from whence it comes to pass, that in their results have sometimes been found the same spirit of cruelty and revenge, of malice and pride; the same blindness, and obstinacy, and unsteadiness; the same ungovernable rage and anger; the same injustice, sophistry and fraud, that ever lodged in the breast of any individual. When a child grows easy by being humoured, and a lover satisfied by small compliances without further pursuits, then expect popular assem-
blies to be content with small concessions.— If there could one single example be bro't from the whole compass of history, of any one popular assembly, who, after beginning to contend for power, ever sat down quietly with a certain share; or of one that ever knew, or proposed, or declared what share of power was their due, then might there be some hopes that it was a matter to be adjusted by reasonings, conferences, or debates. An usurping populace is now its dupe, a mere underworker, and a purchaser in trust for some single tyrant, whose state and power they advance to their own ruin, with as blind an instinct, as those worms that die with weaving magnificent habits for beings of a superior order. The people are more dextrous at pulling down and setting up, than at preserving what is fixed; and they are not fonder of seizing more than of their own than they are of delivering it up again to the worst builder, with their own into the bargain. Their earthly devotion is seldom paid to above one at a time, of their own creation, whose ear they pull with less murmuring and more skill, than when they share the leading, or even hold the helm."

Mutual Assurance against Fire on Buildings.
BY those who were opposed to this philanthropic institution, it has been held out, that if a large fire was to happen at Norfolk, it would ruin the members of the Society. Now there has as great a fire as possibly could be expected, taken place—and including the several fires which have occurred in Berkeley, Frederick, Spotsylvania, Louisa, Prince George and Gloucester, till one quota, that is, one premium, the same as paid on entering, is sufficient to replenish the funds: this shews that what they advance is fallacious. Notwithstanding the enormous destruction at Norfolk, the Society has funds enough to pay every one of the sufferers; and the quota which the members pay now forms a complete fund to answer against future losses—which may insure them for many years to come, perhaps for ever. As the insurance is increasing the funds will be so strong, that great losses indeed must happen before another quota be necessary; the interest will be so considerable, that if in a few years no great losses happen, it will augment the funds rapidly, independent of the new insurances which no doubt will be made.
The Society has been extraordinarily unfortunate; if all the houses in the state had been affected in the same ratio, it would be at the rate of upwards of 6,000 houses per annum in this state. Now as it is well known, that on an average throughout the state, hardly more than fifty buildings per annum burn—this shews that this Society has in the most extraordinary manner been afflicted; therefore it is reasonable to hope, that in future the losses will not be so great as they have been, but that they will be much less. As the system is now, and will be better understood, the insurance no doubt will keep increasing. It is devotely to be wished that the people would rise en masse and insure all (which in time they will); there being upwards of four hundred thousand buildings in this state, the contribution would then be a mere trifle, perhaps not more than ten or fifteen cents for each house per annum. On an average of years hardly more than one out of every ten thousand houses is yearly, in this state destroyed by fire—then so as the insurance increases, the funds augment as one to thirty three and the risk increases only as one to ten thousand.
Some complain of paying a quota, but they ought to consider that we cannot always prevent fires, and that their own houses might have been included. Notwithstanding the enormous and extraordinary losses, I cannot see the great hardship complained of—when a man who owns a brick house in the country, worth one thousand dollars, who entered in the beginning of the institution, paid on entering nine shillings per 100 dollars then he has been insured going on nine years, of course at the rate of one shilling per 100 dollars a year; for the Quota be paid, is or will only be absorbed by the fire which happened last February; when abroad it would have cost him upwards of fifty four shillings during that period. Then taking even the premium and quota together makes it only three per cent. when abroad he would have paid 9 per cent. and how much more pleasing is it that we keep the money here, and succour our unfortunate fellow citizens. Considering the dreadful calamity which raged at Norfolk, where is the tender heart who would not cheerfully contribute to aid those unfortunate people, and the more so when by that contribution they do a charitable act, and secure at the same time their own property.

To the Citizens of Alexandria:
The month of May having now commenced, new duties are required by law from many of you. A compliance with that law, by a punctual performance of what it enjoins, is required from all those persons to whom it applies; or otherwise it will become the painful duty of the subscriber, by application to the Mayor, to have the penalties for neglects enforced upon all delinquents.
That no person may have the plea of ignorance of the law, I herewith publish the 14th section of the Act, entitled "An Act to remove nuisances, preserve the health of the inhabitants, of the town of Alexandria, and other purposes."
Sect. 14. Be it enacted, That the persons living on paved streets, shall clean the foot ways opposite to the property they occupy, and shall moreover wash such foot ways, every Saturday from the first day of May to the last day of September, unless prevented by the weather; any inhabitant who shall not perform the said duties, shall for every neglect forfeit and pay thirty three cents. No person shall throw or cause to be thrown down from any waggon or other carriage, or in any other manner, any rubbish, litter or dirt, on any street, public lane or ally, and suffer the same to remain for more than twenty four hours, except in such quantities and in such places as may be allowed by the Superintendent of police: Provided that any person desirous of depositing on any street, materials for building, shall apply to the Superintendent of Police, who shall appoint a proper place, and assign a reasonable space for depositing said materials; whoever shall offend herein shall forfeit and pay five dollars for each offence, and be subjected to the further penalty of one dollar, for every day such building materials shall remain contrary to the provisions hereof.

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 sold, 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. Richmond, January 31, 1804. [eo]
