the constitution to enforce its own provisions,
and the laws made under them, by what author
ity, what right, what show of right can con-
press commit the execution of the laws to
officers not belonging to the executive, nor
responsible to it, but, holding directly from
the congress? Would not such an act Id
the abrogation, SO far forth, of the executive
department? Would it not be making 4
second executive department thereby des.
troyine the unity of that branch of the gov
eminent whose efficiency especially depends
upon its unity? Legislatures and
Judges may be divided in opinion, and the
results of their action be the better for such
division, but the executor of the laws, to be
IN executor at all, must be one. Courts,
councils, assemblies, parliaments, are proper
in the sphere of elaboration, but the emper
or, the king, the president alone is tolerated
in the sphere of action? By virtue Of his
office the President is made "Commander-in-
Chief of the Army and Navy of the United
States )" in that capacity he is the head oil
the military arm of the executive, as he is
already in his capacity as President, head OF
the civil arm.
All military officers, as we'll as all civil
officers, engaged in the execution of the laws
are subordinate to him; he appoints them,
commissions them, and gives them orders
and it would be mutiny in any subordinate
to refuse obedience to his orders once clearly
promulgated. Has congress the power given
it anywhere to change this fundamental dis
position of things? Can it by mere enact
ment divest the President of the powers
vested in him, make another man the com.
mander-in-chief, and order him to execute
the laws, at his own discretion, or subject
only to the supervision and control of con
gress? If so, what becomes of the constitu
tional limitations What meaning is there
in the positive, specific, unmistakable clauses
vesting the several powers of the govern
ment? Or is congress, in spite of this Ian
guage, an omnipotent parliament, in reality
like that of Great Britain, representing
alone the nation, and entitled TO override all
other powers when its convictions Of the
public interests shall so require? If that be
the truth, let us know it at once, and pride
ourselves no longer on the superiority of our
political system to the absolutisms of Eu-
rope, which have wrought so much mischief

When the heat of party passion has passed
away, sober and rejecting men will wonder
how they could have: 'bee1 betrayed into such
violation of common sense and common de-
cency.,. The senators who will have to justify
themselves, to their own coneciences and at the
bar Of public opinion, will be those who voted
for conviction, on this preposterous charge
not those who voted against it.. And every
man who has any appreciation Of what it is
that constitutes the honor and security Of the
nation, Will rejoice that the country was saved
the scandal and repropch Of deposing Presi-
dent under SO shallow and barofaced pretext
as this. We shave escaped this black and lasting
stain on our national reputation, and it is one
of the narrowest escapes any nation has ever
made from one Of the greatest dangers which
any nation, has ever encountered. -
