Assault on the President's Secretary,
i. i HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
* '-t Wednesdsy, May i6, 1828.
V Mr. McDuffie made tho following Report:
The Select-Committee, to whom was referred
tho Message of tho President of the Uni.ed
States'; relative to an assault cummittoo on
. hii Privato Secretary, submit tho following
Report: ;•* . fit
Immediately after their appointment, (ho
Gommiuea proceeded .to the- investigation of
tho subject referred to tliofa.- They ascertain
ed, from tlio leiiec of Mr. Russel Jarvis, re
ferred to them by the House, and fiom tho
statement of Mr. John Adam, tho'Private Sec
retary of the President, that an assault was com
mitted bytho former upon the person of tho
latter, in tho Rotundo of.the Capitol, immedi
ately after ho had delivered n Message from
tho President to tho Houso of Representatives,
and whilo ho was proceeding, with another
Message from tho President, to tho Scnato.—•
At this stago of the proceeding, a preliminary
question arose with tlio -Comniitteo, whether
tlioy should report to tho House simply tho fact
that tho assault had been committed, with a
view to an examination at the bar of tho Uouso,
of tho party implicated, and all - tho witnesses
for and against him, or whether the Committee
' should take upon themselves the responsibility
Vof going into a full examination of tho wholo
ease, and of. recommending, as tho result of
their judgement, upon all tho facts and circum
stances, tho final courso which they might deem
it expedient for the House to pursue. . Tho
former mode of proceeding would havo been.
ring its session, will scarcely bo questioned.
In like manner, though the parliamentary law
of-England, as such, can havo no authority
hero : yet all the legislative bodies in tho Un
ion habitually act upon its rules.
The power in question goes out of tho great
jaw of self-preservation. It is no doubt very
liable to abuse, and ought always to be exercised
with groat moderation. In its very nature, it
is not susceptible oither of precise definition or
mil fed should say a few words, in explanation
of the delay which has occurred hi this exam
ination.' After some considerable progress had
been made in it, Mr. Jarvis made an application
to tlio committee for leave to examine, bv Com
mission, certain persons in tho city of lloston.
The Committeo did not feel themselves war
ranted, under existing circumstances, to refuse
this request. A Commission was accordingly
transmitted; to take the examination by written
interrogatories, which was uot returned until
very recently.
Tho Committeo will now proceed to ex
hibit a brief summary ol the evidence, the
wholo of which, in detail, is annexed to this
Report.
Tlio material fact, that Mr. Jarvis commit
ted annssuult upon the Private Secretary of the
President, in the Rotundo of the Capitol, im
mediately after he had delivered a Message
from the President to tho House of Representa
tives, is clearly established. Indeed it is dis
tinctly admitted by Mr. Jarvis. It- is also
established, to tho satisfaction of the Commit
tee, that Mr. Jarvis knew that the Private Sec
retary of the President had delivered a Mes
sage to the House of Representatives, imme
diately before the assault was committed. Mr.
Jarvis, it appears, was in the House when the
Message wits delivered, and immediately fol
lowed after Mr. Adams, as ho retired from the
House. There is some discrepancy in the tes
timony, as to the nature of the assault; but, in
the view taken bytho Committee, it is wholly
immaterial to tho question which grows out of
the transaction,-muching the dignity and privi
leges of the House.
In the letter of Mr. Jarvis, he stated, as tho
provocation by which ho had been prompted to
commit tho assault upon Mr. Adams, certain
offensive and insulting language used by tho
latter, in the house of the President, at a le
vee, in the presence and hearing of the wife of
Mr. Jarvis, and other female friends and rela
tives, who attended the levoo uuder his pro
tection.
Mr. Adams submitted a counter-statement,
differing, in several particulars, from that con
tained in the letter of Mr. Jarvis, and, several
witnesses were, therefore, examined, with a
view of ascertaining the true character of the
occurrences nt the levee of the President. Tho
Committeo believe it is not difficult to reconcile
the apparent contradictions in the testimony of
tho several witneses, relative to this brunch of
tho case. The material facts can be satisfacto
rily made out, without involving any imputation
upon tho veracity of any of the witnesses. It
is proved, by thoso on both sides, and, indeed,
by tho admission of Mr. Adams, that ho did
use language calculated, if overheard, to iusult
Mr. Jarois. It is also proved, to tho satisfac
tion ol the Committee, that Mr*. Cordis, the
mother or Mrs. Jarvis, was very near to Air.
Adams when ho made use of the offensive lan
guage, and that alio, as well as other perons of
the party who accompanied Mr. Jarvis, heard
it with some distinctness. It also appears, tha'
the ladies who accompanied Mr. Jarvis inter
preted tho language of Air. Adams as an insult
offered to the .whole party, and it seems that
Air. .Jarvis acted throughout the whole of tho
transaction, under the- same impression. On
the contrary, it is stated by Air. Adams and Mr.
Stetson, that Air. Adams did not uso tho offen
sive language relativo to Mr. Jarvis, with a
view of injuring the feelings of the Indies who
accompanied him, nor, indeed, with n knowl
edge that it was overheard by them. The fact,
however, appears to bo indisputable, that so
much of that language was heard by Mrs. Cor
dis ond Air. Dexter as induced tho party, and
particularly the femalo friends who nccontpa-
nied Air. Jarvis, to leave the President’s House
as soon as possible, under the idea that they
had been insulted.
Upon a view of all tlio circumstances, tho
Committee aro of tho opinion thajt the assault
committed by Air. Jarvis, upon the Privato
Secretary ofthc President, whatever may have
heen the causes of provocation, was an act done
in contempt of tho authority and dignity of this
House, involving not -only n violation of its own
peculiar privileges, but of tho immunity which
it i3 bound, upon every principle, to guaranty
to tho person selected by tho President as tho
organ of his official communications to Con
gress. It is of the utmost importance that tho
official intercourse between tho President and
the Legislative department should not bo liable
to interruption. The proceedings of Congress
could not be more effectually arrested by pre
venting the mombqrs of either IIouso from going
to' tho Hall of their deliberations, than they
might he by preventing the President from
making official communications essentially
connected with the legislation of tho country.
In tlio case under consideration, the Private
Secretary, after having delivered A Messago
worn tlio President, was in tlio act of retiring,
and a.most witjiin tlio very vergo of this Hall,
when the assault was committed upon him.
1 lie House was in session, and tho person who
committed the assault went immediately from
the Hall in which it was deliberating, where he
was in the enjoyment of a privilago conceded
to him, tu common with others, who aro enga
ged in reporting the proceedings of tho House.
If tho Representatives of tho Peoplo havo not
the power to pnnish an assault committed under
these circumstances, then are they destitute of
a power which belongs to the most inferior
judicial tribunal in the conntry. The power of
punishing for contempts js. not peculiar to tho
common (aw of England. It belongs essen
tially to every judicial tribunal and every le
gislative body. The English law of contempts,
precise limitation. Each particular instance of .. . .
its exercise must be adapted to the emergency! to proceed as fur as Constantinople,
which calls for it. While, therefore, tho com- j Courier suspects that the cargoes would not
mitteo deem it matter of great importance to. bo found to be in very good condition *f they
maintain the existence of this power, as an es-! are not to be touche^ till they -reach the Tur*
sential means of vindicating tlio dignity and kUh capital.
privileges of the House, they are clearly of the
opinion that it ought never to be exercised, ex
cept in cases of strong necessity ; and that the
punishment inflicted under it ought nevor to be
carried farther than shall bo absolutely and
imperiously required by the existing emer
gency.
Itj tho present case, though they think the
conduct of Mr. Jarvis obnoxious to the censure
of the House, yet they can hardly suppose that
he was conscious, at the timo of committing
tho assault, that ho was ofTcrmg a contempt to
its authority. He disclaims, indeed, any such
intention. And as die committee aro owurc
that many .persons, for whoso opinions they
have very great j-espect, entertain tho belief that
the assault in question was not a violation ofany
privilege of the Houso, they think they arc
required, by tlio spirit of moderation and indul
gence in which this power should always be ex
ercised, to give Air. Jarvis tlio benefit of the
most favorable presumption, as to his views and
intentions, touching the rights and privileges
in question.
They, therefore, recommend to tho adoption
of the House, tho following resolutions. It is
proper, however, to remark, by way of expla
nation, that there was but a bare majority of
the Committeo in favor of tho first resolution,
tho minority entertaining the belief that die
Houso possesses no power touching tho pre
mises; and that there was but a bare majority
of the Committtec in favor of the second reso
lution, tho minority behoving that it was expe
dient to vindicate the dignity of tho House, by
inflicting some punishment for the violatoiu of
its privileges:
Resolved, That the assault committed by
Russel Jarvis on the person of John Adams,
tho Privato Secretary of tho President, in tho
Rotundo of tho Capitol, immediately after tho
said John Adams had delivered n Message
from tho President to tho Houso of Represen
tatives, and while ho was in tho act of retiring
from it, was a violation of privilege, which
merits tho censure of this House.
Resolved, That it is not expedient to havo
any further proceedings in this case.
The Odessa article adds, “that above one
hundred transports of different nations have
been placed at the Commissariat department.
Tho government has signed contracts with
several merchants and captains of ships for the
material and the wiue which may be required
for an army on its march in tho interior of Tur
key.” An Article from Berlin, Alarch 9, ob
serves “the private letters from Petersburg!!
say that the war with Turkey is considered
close at hand, and that the people had receiv
ed tho news with tho greatest joy. It was
said iu that capital that orders had been given
to fit out all the ships of war at Scbasto—all
which are to join the fleet in the Black Sea,
and it is thought this fleet will be sent ta cruise
at tho entrance of the Bosphorus,
sets are fitting out at Odessa.”
An account from Warsaw, March 24, speaks
with great rapture of tho prospect that tlieif
i “beloved Monarch” will pass through that
city on his way to tho army, ahd declares .that
he will receive the homage of the Polish na
tion. Letters from St. Peterburgh, also an
nounce that many persons of distinction will

even if our prices improve a little more. It
was not until tlio second week of Alay, last
