About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1808 edition. Excerpt: ...that it is hard to define them all particularly." According to the authority of the English books then, a large assemblage of men committing great acts of violence do not constitute treason, unless their intention in committing them be to destroy the government. You must examine into the intention which influences the persons who do these acts, before you can determine them to be treasonable. This shews conclusively, that an assemblage of men even armed in military array are not to be considered as treasonable, unless their intention be proved t(c) be treasonable; that is (applying the doctrine to this country unless the intention be to subvert the government of the United States. Sir, I execrate a contrary doctrine as highly tyrannical and 'oppressive; and here I beg leave to enter my censure against the decisions of the court in Pennsylvania on this subject, in the cases of what were called the whisky and hot water insurrections. Some of those engaged in them were decided, in my opinion i mproperly, to be guilty of treason according to the constitution of the United States. I shall not fully examine this subject at present; but I think it my duty to enter my solemn protest against the decision of the court in those cases, though made by gentlemen of learning and integrity; and if ever the question should gome before the supreme court, I will endeavour to shew that those decisions were illegal and improper. In these cases there was no design to subvert the government. Such a thought was not entertained. It was the expression of their disapprobation of a particular law, and an opposition t% the execution of that unpopular law; and the intentions of those people went no further than to induce its repeal. But according to the authority alread.
