vindication, carrying his cause before
the people, who he believes are Still
with him despite the verdict given by
the impeachment court.
After the proceedings Mr.. Sulzer
would see only @ few personal fr1ends.
Friends who were with hin when he
received the news Of the verdict said

Everything at the executive man
