powers The end fiction of the 1T article Of
, Impeachment, and the end, 3rd and 4th feStions
of the 4th article prelent us with combination
offa6ts, which demontrate the dietator;al and
sbomnable encroachments of the Bench upon
the rights of the Bar and the rights of the accn-
fed. On both of thefe trials, the unfortunate
accufed was reduced TO the fame unprotected
htultion, rs if the uie Of counfsl had been orr
ginalIy denied TO him. The tyranny of the
Judge was too oporeiiiye and difhonourabIe to
be endured by their advocates and Fries & CAL
lender were each Of them thrown upon the mer-
cy Of court, which had driven the council from
the bar, and OF federal jury, who had been C.
,ccted by the MARTIAL on account of their poiit-
cal principles.
The 9Th and sth articles of the impeachment
are prcdicated upon violation of two claulcs
% the law of Cougrefs for eftabli hing the iud-
cial courts ofthe Unitct. States. As far as theft.
proceedings contribute to prove the ignsranee
ofJudge Chafe on the laws of Virginia, they
certainly contain fufficent materials of cenfure
and rcproach. But if.hey be coniidered in ano-
Their atoett: if they be iuPpofed to flow from

ready familiar to the Judge mifconfruai Zion
OF which no other explanation can be given than
apredifpoftion to periecute the unfortunate man
at the bar; they certainly furnifh more mpor-
tant ground Of cnquiry.-They certainly ind-
cate temper, which was unworthy of a Judge,
and unworthy of the free contribution, under
which lie prefided.
The 7:h and eth articles of the impeachment
are defcrip;ive of two feparate proceedings of
Judge Chafe, which conftitute two nelv and
diitiu6 i3-eie5 of rnifbchaviour. reference to
the articles of impeachment will fuperfede the
neceiiity of espatia;;ng upon their nature or
their tendency.
Such is general view of .he articles, which
have exhibited been againf Judge Chaie. How
far thefe charges are fupportcd by truth, and
whether the difInffal of the Judge ihall confi-
tute the Punifhment Of his offences; it is the
province ofan official invetisation to afcertan
