Burr. DEBATF. On the motion (mode, otithe SStbJ to commit Colonel Burr — continueii. Mr. Wirt.—May it please your honors— The attorney for, the United States, believ- ing himself possessed of sufficient evidence to justify the commitment of A. Burr for high treason, has moved the c urt to that effect. In making this' motion, lis has merely done his duly ; it would have been .unpardonable in him to omit it. Yet the counsel in the defence complain of the mo- tion and of the want of notice. As to the latter objection, it must be palpable that the nature and object of the motion rendered notice improper. The gentlemen would have had the attorney announce to the party concerned that he was, at length, in posses- sion of sufficient evidence to justify his commitment for high treason; and that be- ing apprehensive he. might not be disposed to stand this charge, he intended, as soon as the accused came into court next morn- ing, to move his commitment. This would really be carrying politeness beyond the or- dinary pitch. It would not have deserved the name of candor, sir ; it would, in fact, have been an invitation to the accused to make his escape. But as gentlemen seem to doubt, with an air at least of earnestness, the propriety of this motion at this time, andexpress their regret that they have not had time to examine its legality, the attor- ney has offered to wave the motion until to- morrow, to give gentlemen the opportunity which they profess to desire. But no, sir ; they will not even have what they say they want, when offered by the attorney. Ano- ther gentleman, afier having demanded why this motion was made, and by that demand drawn from the attorney an explanation of his motives, has been pleased to speak of the attorney's statement of his apprehensions as an " episode ;" which, " although good poetry," be says, " had better have been !< t alone, when such serious mailers ol were in discussion." It may be an episode, sir, if the gentleman pleases ; he is at liber- ty to cons.der the whole trial as a piece of epic action, and to look forward to the ap- propriate catastrophe. But it does not ap- pear to me to be very fair, sir, after having drawn from the attorney an explanation of his motives, to complain of that explana- tion : if a wound has been inflicted by the explanation, the gentlemen who produced it should blame only themselves. But, sir, where is the crime of considering Aaron Burr as subject to the ordinary operation of the human passions ? Towards any other man, it seems, the attorney would have been justifiable in using precautions against alarm and escape ; it is only improper when ap- plied to this man. Really, sir, I recollect nothing in the history of his deportment which renders it so very incredible that Aa- ron Burr would ffy from a prosecution. But at all events, the attomey is bound to act on general principles, and to take care that justice be had against every one accused, by whatever name he may be called, or by whatever previous reputation he may be dis- tinguished. This motion, however, it seems is not legal at this time, because their is a grand jury in session. The amount of the positi- on is, that although it be generally true that the court possesses the power to hear and com- mit, yet if there be a grand jury, this pow- er of the court is suspended ; and the com- mitment cannot be had unless in consequence of a presentment or bill of indictment, found by that body. The general power of the court being admitted, those who rely on this exception should support it by authori- ty, and, therefore, the loud call for prece- dents which we have heard from the other side, comes improperly from that quarter. We ground this motion on the general power of the court to commit: let those that say that this power is destroyed by the presence of a grand jury, shew one precedent to countenance this original and extraordinary motion. I believe sir, I may safely affirm, that not a single reported case or dictum can be found which has the most distant bearing towards such an idea. Sir, no such dictum or case ought to exist ; it would be unreasonable and destiuctive of the purpos- ses of justice. For if the doctrine be true at all, that the presence of' a grand jury suspends the power to hear and com- mit by any other authority, it must be uni- formly and universally true : in every other case as well as this, and in every case which can be proposed while a grand jury is setting. Now, sir, let us suppose, that immediately on the swearing of this grand jury and their retiring to their chamber, Aaron Burr had been for the first time brought to this town ; the members of the evidence scatter- ed over the continent; the attorney, howe- ver in possession of enough to justify the arrest and commitment of the accused of high treason, but not enough to authorise a grand jury to find a true bill ; what is tofbe done I The court disclaims any pow- to hear and commit, because their is a grand jury :—The grand jury cannot find a true bill, because the evidence is not sufficient to warrant such a finding ; the natural and unavoidable consequences would be, that the man must be discharged. And then, according to Mr. Wickham's principle of ethics, that every man is sppposed to intend the natural consequences of his own acts, the gentlemen who advocate ibis doctrine intend that Aaron Burr shall be discharged without a trial. I beg you, sir, to recollect what was said by gentlemen the other day, when j'cu were called upon to give an additional charge to the grand jury. You were told, that a grand jury should require the same evi- dence to find a true hill, which a petit jury would require to convict the prisoner: Con- nect this p. ir.rfpte with the doctrine fn qnw tiou ; the sitting of the grand jury suspends all power to commit by any other body ; and the grand jury cannot find a bill unless on evidence, on which tliey would convict, ag. a petty jury ; connect these two principles and consider the immaturity of evidence which always exists at the time of arrest and commitment ; and the 'sitting cf the grand jury, instead of being a season of admonition and alarm, becomes a perfect jubilee to the guilty. Hut it is said, that this motion is " an at- tempt to divest the constitutional organ of its just and proper power :" 1 believe, sir, it was never before heard, that an applica- tion to commit for safe keeping was an en- croachment on the power of the grand jury. Would the gentlemen have us to address this motion to the grand jury ? They might as well propose that we should submit the bill of indictment to the court and desire them to say, whether it is a true bill or not. This would indeed be the " shifting of pow- ers," of which the gentleman complains. As it is, sir, there is no manner of collision be- tween the power which we call upon the court to exercise, and the proper power of the grand jury. The justices arrest'and commit for safe-keeping ; then comes the function of the grand jury to decide on the truth of the indictment exhibited against the prisoner. The two offices are distinct in point of the time and totally different iia theii nature and objects. But it is said " there is great ineon ence in submitting a great law officer to ths? necessity of expressing an opinion on the crime on a motion like this ;" ₯ that the judge, like a juror, should come to the ttiai ' with his mind pure and unbiassed.'' This argument does not apply to the legality of the power which we call upon the court to exercise :' it goes merely to the expediency of exercising this power ; and if the argu- ment be try, the court ought never to com- mit, whether the grand jury be sitting or not. This, however, sir, is a matter lor le- gislation, not for judicial consideration.-— Whenever the legislature shall decide, by (be force of this argument, that the court which* commits shall not sit on the trial in chief, a motion like this will becom* improper j at present, however, the legislature has left this power with the court ; and we claim its ex- ercise for considerations of the most sei'.ous importance to truth and justice. But, sir, we are told that this investigatioia is calculated to keep alive the public preju- dices ; and we hear great complaints about these public prejudices; the Country is re- presented as being-filled with misrepresenta- tions and calumnies against Aawn 1'urrs the public indigmniait, it is said, is already sufficiently excited r This argoineiit, rfsofc sir, has no application to our right to maka this motion ; it dovi not affect the leiralily of our procedure. But if the morion is likely to have this effect, we cannot help it j no human institution is free from inconve- niences ; the course we hold is a legal one ; without it a necessary one ; we think it a duty. It is no answer to ns tlieji to say, that it may produce inconvcniencus to-ihe prisoner. But let us consider this mournful tale of prejudices and tin- likdiiiood oftlioir being excited by this motion. Sir, if Aaron Burr be innocent, instead of resisting thiss' motion he ought to bait it with timmph and exultation. What is it that we propose to introduce ? IVot the rumors which are float- ing through the world ; not the talk of the multitude, nor the speculations of newspa>- pers, but the e'nielence of facts- we propose that the whole evidence exculpatory as well as accusative shall come before yon —instead of exciting, this is the true mode of correct- ing prejudices ; the world, which it-is said has been misled and inflamed by falsehood, will riow hear the truth ; let the case coiito out; let us know how much of -what wu have heard is false, how much of it * how much of what we feel is prejudices how much of it is justified 4ry Jfacti wJio ever before heard of such an apprehension a» that which is professed on the other side } Prejudice excited by evidence! I;'.'ick'nee, sir, is the great corrector of prejudice ? Why- then does Aaron Burr Shrink from it ? It is strange to me that a man who complains so much of being without cause illegally sein- ed and transported by a military officer, should be afraid to confront this evidence. ' Evidence can be promotive -only of truth. I repeat it then,- sir, why does he shrinks why does he shrink from we evidence? The gentlemen on the other side can give the answer. On our part we are ready to introduce that evidence. Permit me now, s:r, to turn To the act of assembly which has been Tead by Mr. VVitHk- ham. Into what embarrassmrnt must the ingenious and vigorous mirm of, thai ;';eiifie- man have been driven, before he would linve taken refuge under this act of assemWy ? It is but to read it, to see that it has no manner of application whatever to this mo- tion : that it applies to the case of .a person ' already committed—declaring that suck par- son shall be bailed if not indicted a* the first term after bis commitment; and discharged if not indicted at the second term. [Revi- sed Code by Pleasants and Pace, 103. —^ST.J "When any person committed for trea- son"--Now, sir, is Aaron Burr camnrittsd for treason ? If not, it is obvious that the cause has no manner of application tqifcim. Why, sir, the object of this motion is to commit him. Gentlemen must have been in a strange confusion when they resorted to this law. Mr. Wickham aslts if general Wilkinson be a material Witness, why he is not here* "Who is general Wilkinson" says tbatgep.- tleman ? " Is he not the instrument of the ' government bound to a blind obedience V I am sorry for this and many other declama- tory remarks which heve been ^rntieeessaw- ly & improperly introduced; but the gentle- man assures us that no impuUttiim is nie.mt against the government. Oh, no sir, -col. Burr, indeed, has been oppressed ; has been persecuted ; but far be it from the gentleroaa to charge the government with it.. Colon*! Burr, indeed, has been harrasst d by a mili- tary tyrant who is " the instrument of the government, bound to a blinu.obedienoe,''' But the gentleman could r'ot'bf:;;ny means be understood as intending eO' insinuate aught to the prejudice of the goveunncjit. The gentleman is understood^ sir : his dt- I ject is correctly understood. He 'would di- rect the public mind from A. Burr and point it to another quarter. He would too, if he could, shift the popular t/irplrnsurc 'v\ hie he has spoken of, from A. :.urr, tA.JMWtoa quarter. These'remarks were not i.ii.teiKWd for your ear, sir; they vvert/ inU'iidwi 3SK
