sTIsuED)


IN support of my defence shall publish tie
charges upon which the Court Martial had to pro-
nounce, co. together with the argument upon which
General Jackson rested his motives for declining
to sanction the sentence of that Court, ~ The
reading of these charges will convince YOU that
my publication in the Louisiana Courier was the
only paper produced against me. This paper, it
is true gave rise to the most serious accusations.
Like a new Pandora's box, all the crimes which,
by our military laws, are punishable with death,
were found enclosed in it | repeat it. at this Pc
Rod, in the beginning of March, for this plblica-
ton alone, was summoned before Court Mar
tal and no proofs, no testimony whatsoever were
produced to give character OF crimnaIity to it.
assert it to be beyond the power Of my accu-
scrs to sustain their accusation by any OTHER prouf
than my essay of the Sd of March. While be-
fore the Court Martial, no censure Of my conduct,
anterior to that period, was limited at; and as
General Jackson, after his anger had subsidized,
could not have concealed it from himself that the
imprisonment of Judge Hall was Of those ex-
traordinary occurrences which his fellow citizens
would one day, require him to account tnr, it
must, therefore. have been his earnest wish that
his conduct SHOULD be justified by my condemna-
ton and since he was reduced, in sustaining his
monstrous accusation, to the only evidence con-
tanned in my essay, is it not clear that this consti
tuted the only charge he could bing against me 7

In Louisiana this calumny would strike horror into
every breast. In Cincinnati every thing is lawful
to ensure the election Of the General. Are these
deluded people ignorant that justice should con
stitute the ground work of every great undertake
ing, and that without it, there is nothing but dis
appointment?
In order to refute this calumny. let me be allow

3D. An extract from resolution Of the I.c-
pslaturc Of the State Of Louisiana, of the al Feb
ruary, 1915. Oily The Generals who signalized
themselves under the command Of General Jack
son have duly appreciated the expression of pub

the honorable mention it made Of Inc filled my
heart with grateful feelings; and is at this day Of
iuestinabe value to me, since 1t affords me the
means of proving my innocence.
A statement of my conduct during the session
of 1914 and 1915 will, hope, completely annihi.
late this odious accusation.
At a very early day OF the session, on the ED

Committee Of Ways and means, an appropriation
of SOS 900 for the Notifications necessary for the
defence of Lower Louisiana.
On the 14h December, proposed, in the name
of a Joint committee, to place COCO dollars at
the disposal Of Commodore Patterson, with a view
to an increase of 32l to the premium allowed to
each seaman entering the service Of tie United
States. (l2.)
On the same day. in consequence Of report
made by me, an embargo was laid upon all vessels
and crafts lying in the pot Of New Orleans ana
its vicinity.
