its declared enemies, which is treason. I must receive you in one of these two characters or not at all. I think your condition is the latter. Gentlemen, you will go hence into the custody of the marshal of the United States as prisoners, charged with treason against your country. Then let a grand jury be summoned here in Washington, and indict the commissioners, or let the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, acting as a commissioner, as Marshall did in the case of Aaron Burr, examine the question with all the imposing form and ceremony that attended his trial. Let the Chief Justice bind them over to be indicted by a grand jury, and then have the matter brought before the full court, as can easily be done, and have James Buchanan.

Curtis, of Massachusetts, Judge Nelson, of Tennessee, and other gentlemen, counsel for Andrew Johnson, President of the United States. I had brought it to the attention of the board of managers that we should have Mr. Johnson brought in and placed at the bar of the Senate to be tried according to the forms of the English law,--or as Judge Chase had been tried when Aaron Burr presided over the Senate,--and required by the presiding officer to stand until the Senate offered him a chair. But our board of managers was too weak in the knees or back to insist upon this, and Mr. Johnson did not attend. The morning after the opening of the argument, I asked one of the board of managers, a very clever gentleman, to have the kindness to offer a piece of written evidence, but his hand shook so while he was examining the paper that I concluded to relieve him.
