tlw-Stpto of Jj«w York, a d «migrateiJ to
Indiana w d «^tled, in Evansvill , wiiera

lie was a member of die Convention
wjiiqh met at llarrisbuig, Fa., and nom-
inateíl Gen. W. II. ilarriron for the
PiesiideBcyi Judge A- tí, Nwton, of our
State, being a member with him. This
was the Whig convention of 1880. IIe
was,iu ¡840, the nominee of j,he Whig
party for Congrofs for the Vanderburg
itistrkt in Indiana. ...
.j For hi# health he tnpved South, and in
1841 settled ip the Republic- of 'l^exas,
where lie maintained l|i rvpuiaiiun as a
lawyer aad wt¡*on. He was judge of the
district iu whicji he lived, aud ty virtue
of his office(as district judge, was one.ol
the first Supieme Judge* |.f Texas. He
was one, who, with such men as Hemp
hill. Ochiltree, Franklin, Baylor, Kauf

Houston, Henderson, IVaae and others,
took the infant judicjaiy of tlje R"publio
ano slmpwi it as it i .
fie whs ever an unc0fripr6nfising
Whig. When the war between théi ee-
tioji occurred, lie wfts a 'Unioii mail;
when tl e war ekJled, and reconstruction
occurred, he was choseu Senator from
his district, in IÜ09, and whilst serving
his State in that capacity expired.
He was 77 year.', of áge, and, ti-o ugh
feeble in. fienlth, his mind was vigorous
and alive to the interests of hi constitu-
ents. He was honest in the discharge of
his duties, and hence independent of the
corrupt rings of- pal tras. ilis fu -

the result in the case of McCardl*/a®d
they immediately passed a bill taUttg
away the fight of appeal, wbkib had
been given by previous legi látion. I
say this act bwtrays ,t!<eir own guilty
knowledge that they were violating the
Constituiion. I do not think so tneaaly
of tne intelligence of the R^puh^uans in
Congress at not to believe that they
knew these Acts wei« unconstitutional,
that they were without a vestige ¡ oí. a r
thoríty." t
Now, if the crime committed by, the
Southern ¡men in going into (.be rebellion
dese^ed punishment, they shou'i have
been p^ipisliéd according to f!
w..,
tutión. That waa the only wav in which
we could punish their crime without
committing on our part aa gyeat aprimo,
the crime of destroying our own govern-
ment and overthrowing mm. «wn tl|#r
sLitution. Sir, in overthrowing ir Con-'
stit'ution, in violating its ascred guariin-r
tees, we committed the same crime with
which we have charged the rebel of the
South and of which they undoubtedly
had been guilty.
That was my view of the case, aud; be-
lieving that these acts of Congress were
unconstitutional, null', and void, I be-
lieve that the President of the United
States, who was swóm to maintain tltt
Constitution, ought not to allow it to be
trumpeted imd«r foot.; that your <td H
