peculiarly for the task
In the case of Judge Peck, the witnesses
were selected by the committee itself, with a
view to ascertain the truth of the charge.
They were cross-examimed by him, and ev-
ervthing was conducted in such a manner as
to afford him no reasonable cause of COM
plant. In view OF this precedent-and what
is OF far greater Importance, in view OF the
constitution and principles OF eternal Justice
in what manner has the president OF the United
States been treated by the House of Repre-
sentatves? NJ. John Coyode, representa-
tive from Pennsylvania, is the accuser OF the
president. Instead of following the wise pre-
cedent of former time, and especially in the
| case of Judge Peck, and referring the accusa-
ton to the Judiciary committee, the House
| have made my accuser one Of my judges To
make the accuser the judge is violation of
the principles OF universal justice, and is con-
demned by the practice of all civilized nations.
| Every freeman must revolt at such a specta-
| Gle. am to sppear before Mr.. Covode, either
| personally or by substitute, to cross examine
the witnesses which he may produce before
himself to sustain his own accusations against
me. And perhaps even this poor boon may
be denied to the president. What is the ma
ture of the investigation which his resolution
proposes to institute! 1t is as vague and gen.
eral as the English language affords wor Is in

ronage, or any other improper means, sought
to influence, not the action OF any individual
member or members OF congress, but the ac-
ton Of the entire body OF congress itself, or
any committee thereof. The president might
have had some glimmering of the nature of
the offence to be interrogated, had his actuBar
