Any such act constitutes a high crime one l. - .. - i, , - L .,. ,1 of the highest, indeed, which the President can commit a crime which justly exposes him to im peachment by" the House of Representatives, and upon due conviction, to removal from .office, and to khe eomplete and fnrnittrable dis acriberj by the Ctinstitution. The resolution, then, was in substance an im peachment of the President ; and in its passage amounts to dcclaratjoni byjt majority of jheSe. mtaTAaT'wIriiiTty of an Tmpeachable olfcnee. As such, it is spread upon the journals of the Se natepublished to the nation and to the world made part of our enduring .archivee-na' incorpo rated in the history of the age. The punishment of removal from office and future disqualification, does not, it is true, follow this decision ; nor would it have followed the like decision, if the regular forms of proceeding had been pursued, because the requisite number did not concur in the result. But the moral tnflueik-e tn a ! eoWmn felarafion, hy a majority of the Senate, that tlie accused is guilty of the oflitnce charged uoa him, hat been as ef fectually secure as if the like declaration had been made upon aa itopcachruent expressed in the sajoe l. - rn..' !..?.-.-d,a 2r.-nf.f p... ,. 1 1'..

If, after all the so lemnities of an impeachment, thirty of those Se- iiators hud voted (hut the President was guilty, yet wil4 lie..hHe. n acquitted; but, by the 4mslof ( pris-eetling adopted in the prericnt caw, a bi.tin rouord of conviction has been entered up, by the votes of twenty-sir Senators, without an impeach ni:nt or trial; whilat the CoustitJfiuu exprusidy hi- cian .-latheatr aecusatii uusuii.ai uy 111c iiuuw 01 u'tnre.sentauves, n in- . ..... , 1 al by the Senate, and tif tvm-thtrrls in the vote of guilty, shut! be indispensably pre requisite. Whether or not an impeachment was to be ex pected from the House of Representatives, was a point on which the Senate had no eonstirutional right te speculate, and in """pect to which,K?ven had ft- possessed the spirit of prophecy, its ariticl patioiis would have furnished no just grounds for this procedure. Admitting that there waa reason to believe that a violation of the Constitution; and lawa had hi'en actimlly cnmntitteH Hyl Preitident, still it was the duty of the Senate, as his sole con stitutional judges; to wait for an impchmrtitn. til the other House should think proper to prefer -sue iireiuurrs ui uie ocnare could navo no right to infer that no impeachment was intended. On the contrary, every bigal and rational presump tion ou their part ought to have been, that, if there was good reason to believe him guilty of an im peachable""o0eiice, tlie' House' bf Reproseiitatives would perforin its constitutional duty by arraurnirm tKc-oflfciideT Before theTuWe"'eTliw'ntry;' tlie contrary presunipti.ai would mvolve.e.n implication derogatory to the integrity imd honor of the Re presentatives of the people. But suppose tlie sua pMorthuaplied were actually entertained, and for goisl cause, how can it justify the assump tion by the Senate of powers not coiiferred by the Constitution? It is only necessary to look at the condition in which the Senate and the President have been placed by this proceeding, to penceive its utter in compatibility with the provisions and the spirit of the Constitution, and with the plainest dictates of humanity ana justice. If the House of Representativea shall be of ei-4 mon tliat there is: just ground for the censure pro nounced upon the President, then will it be the oJ lemn duty of that House ts pafet fhe proper accu aation, and to cause him to be brought to trial by the coiistitutibnal tribunal.
