ASSAULT OX T1W PMS1DEXTS

StCCllETAllY. House of Representatives, Mty 1G, 1823. i Mr. M'DuSij made the following re

porl :

The select committee, to whom was referred the message of the President ol the United S.ule, relative to an assault committed on his private secretary , submitted the following report: fter their anoointmcnt.

ihecom.nitlee proceeded to the invesli- of injuring the feelings of the ladies who

gunge, and thai she, as well as other per-jpunishment for the violation oflhis priv

sons of the party who accompanied Mr. Jams, heard it with some distinctness. It also appears, that the Indies who accompanied Mr. Jarvis interpreted the language of Mr. Adams as an insult offered to the whole party, and it seems that Mr. Jarvis acted, throughout the whole

of the transaction, under tne same im

pression. On the contrary, it is stated

by Mr. Adams and Mr. Stetson, that Mr.

Adams did not use the otlensive lan

guage relative to Mr. Jarvis, with a view

ration of the subject referred to them

They ascertained, from the letter of Mr. Uusscl Jarvis, relerred to them by the 21:Ui, and from the statement of Mr. John Adams, the private Secretary of the President, thai an assault was committed by the former upon the person of the latter, in the rolundo of the capitol, immediately after he hid delivered a message froai the President to the House oi Representatives, and while he was proceeding, with a.iothcr message from the President, to the Somite. At this stage of the proceeding, a preliminary question

i.rose ith the committee, whether they should report to the House simply the laet that the asault had been committed, with a view to an examination at the bar of the Huse, of the party implicated, and all tiie witnesses for and against him or svhether the committee should take upon themselves the responsibility of go

ing into a full examination of the whole case, and of recommending, as the result of (heir judgment, upon all the facts and cireum.-uances, the final course which they might doem it expedient for the hou'O to pursue. The former mode of proceeding would have been, perhaps, I lie more strictly conformable to parliamentary usage and precedent; but the unavoidable interference with the dis

charge of its ordinary legislative duties, which would have resulted from an exarninalion before the house, constituted, in the opinion of the committee, so strong an objection to that courso of proceeding, that they unanimously determined to examine all the witnesses, and to report the facts to the house, with their opinion upon them, having first obtained the con bent of Mr. Jarvis that this course should be pursued, and having granted him the privilege of appearing by counsel. It i here proper that the committee should1 say a few words in explanation of the de lay which has occured in this examination. After some considerable progress had been made in it. 3Ir. Jarvis made an application to the committee for leave to ex; mine, by commission, certain personin the cily of Boston. The committee did not feel themselves warranted, undei

exiling circumstances, to refuse this re

quest. A commission was accordingly transmitted, to take the examination by

written interrogatories, which was no relumed until very recently.

The committee will now proceed to exhibit a brief summary of the evidence,

the whole of which, in detail, is annexed

to this report. The material fact, that Mr. Jarvis committed an assault upon the private Secretary of the President, in the rotundo of the capitol, immediately after he 2iad delivered a message from the President to the House of Representatives, is clearly established. Indeed it is dis tinctly admitted by Mr. Jarvis. it is also established, to the satisfaction of the committee, that Mr. Jam knew thai the private Secretary of the President had de-:

livjivd a message to tne House oi Kepresentatives, immediately before the assault was committed. M Jarvis, it appear-, was in the house wnen the message was delivered and immediately followed after M . A 1 tins, as he reiired from the houe. Tticreissome discrepancy in the testimony, as to the nature of the assault, bat, in the view taken by the committee, it is wholly immaterial to the question

accompanied him, nor, indeed, with a

knowledge that it wasoverheard by them. The fact, however, appears to be indisputable, that so much of that language was heard by Mrs. Cordis and Mr. D xter as induced the party, and particularly the female friends who accompanied Mr. Jarvis, to leave the President's house as soon a3 possible, under the idea that

thev had been insulted. Upon a view ofall the circumstance?, I lie committee are of the opinion that the

assault committed by Mr. Jarvis upon the private Secretary of the President, whatever may have been the cause ol provocation, was an act done in contempt of the authority and dignity of this house, involving not only a violation ol its own peculiar privileges, but of the immunity which 't is bound, upon every principle, to guaranty to the person selected by the

President as the organ of his official communications to congress. It is of the ut

most importance that the ohicial intercourse between the President and the Legislative department should not he liable to interruption. The proceedings of Congress could not be more effectual! v arreted hv nreventinf? the members

of either house from going to the hall of)00 wll n;uJ

their deliberations, than they might he by preventing the President from making

dhcial communications essentially connected with the legislation of the country.

In the cae under consideration, the private Secretary, after having delivered a message from the President, was in the act of retiring, and almost within the very verge of this hall, when the assault was committed upon him. The house was in session, mid the person who com-

mlted the assault went immediately

i leges; liesohed, That the assault committed by Russel Jarvis on the person of John Adams, the private Secretary of the President, in the rotundo cf the capitol, immediately after the said John Adams had delivered a message from the President to the House of Representatives, and while he was in the act of retiring from it. was a violation of nrivilee, uhiih

' 1 w merits the censure of this hou?e. Resolved, That it is not expedient to have any further proceedings in this case. Mr. P. P. Barbour, from the Select Committee on the assault, made icport on behalf of the minority, in which it is argued at length that the House of Re

presentatives have no power to punish .i r-l r 1) it

touching

ot trie transaction,

the dignity and privileges of the

house.

In the letter of Mr. Jarvis, he stated, as the provocation by which he had been prompted to commit theassault upon Mr. Adam, certain offensive aud insulting la.iging used by the latter in the house of lh2 President, at a levee, in the presence and healing of the wife of Mr. Jarvis, and other female friends and relatives, who atteuded the levee under his protection. Mr. A lams submitted a counter-statement, differing in several particulars,

from that contained in the letter ot Mr. J irvi-, aud several witnesses were therelore, examined with a view of ascertaining the true character of the occurrences .a the levee of the President. Tile coaiauUee believe it is not diihVult to reconcile the apparent contradictions in the testimony of the several witnesses, relative to this branch of the case. The material fact can be satisfactorily made out, without involving any imputation upon the veracity of any of the witnesst'i. It is proved, by those on both sides,

and, indeed, by the admission of Mr.Adams that he did u-e language calculated, if overheard, to insult Mr. Jarvis. It is also proved, lo the satisfaction of the c eTwnittee, that Mrs. Cordis, the mother Mrs. Jarvis, was very near to Mr. Adams wheu he made use of the offensive !ao-

the great law of s.-df-preservation. It is

no doubt very liable to abuse, aud ought

always to he exercised with great moderation. In its very nature, it is not sus

ceptible either of precise dclinition or

precise limitation. Each particular instance of its exercise must be adapted to the emergency which calls for it. While, therefore, the committee deem it matter of great importance to maintain the existence oflhis power, as an essential means of vindicating the dignity and privileges of the house, they are clearly of opinion that it ought never to be ex ercised, except in cases of strong necessity; and that the punishment inflicted under it ought never to be carried farther than shall be absolutely and imperiously required by the existing emergency. In the present case, though they think the conduct of Mr. Jarvis obnoxious to the censure of the house, yet they can hardjy suppose that he was conscious, at the time of committing the assault, that he was offer ing a contempt to its authority, lie disclaims, indeed, any such in tention. Aud as the committee areaware that many person?, for whose opinions they have very great respect, entertain the belief that the assault in question

was not a violation of any privilege ofj

the house, they think they are required, by the spiiit of moderation and indulgence in which this power should always be exercised, to give Mr. Jarvis the bentit of the most favorable presumption, as to his views and intentions, touching the rights and privileges in question. They, therefore, recommend to the adoption of the house, the following resolutions. It is proper, however, to remark, by way of explanation, that there was but a bare majority of the committee in

favor of the first resolution, the minority entertaining the belief that the house possesses no power touching the premi ses; and that there was but a bare majority of the committee in favor of the second resolution, the minority believing that it was expedient to vindicate tin dignity jf the house, by inflicting some
