Excerpt from The Speeches at Full Length of Mr. Van Ness, Mr. Caines, the Attorney-General, Mr. Harrison, and General Hamilton: In the Great Cause of the People, Against Harry Croswell, on an Indictment for a Libel on Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States James Thompson Callender at the next Circuit Court, to be held in and for this County, and that he will bring with him two letters from the said Thomas Jefferson, to the said James Thompson Callender, wherein he expressed his approbation of a certain publication, then about to be printed by the said James. Thompson Callender, which publication this deponent expects to be able to prove, by the said James Thompson Callender, was, "The Prospect before us" unless the said Court should grant a commission to examine the said James Thompson Callender, upon an application which this deponent intends at the next term to make for that purpose. The application being over-ruled by his honor the Chief Justice, the Indictment which charged as follows, was read. At a Court of General Sessions of the Peace, holden, &c. It is represented That Harry Croswell, late of the City of Hudson, in the County of Columbia aforesaid, Printer, being a malicious and seditious man, of a depraved mind and wicked and diabolical disposition, and also deceitfully, wickedly, and maliciously devising, contriving, and intending, Thomas Jefferson Esq. President of the United States of America, to detract from, scandalize, traduce, vilify, and to represent him, the said Thomas Jefferson, as unworthy of the confidence, respect, and attachment, of the people of the said United States, and to alienate and withdraw from the said Thomas Jefferson Esquire, President as aforesaid, the obediences! fidelity, and allegiance, of the Citizens of the State of New-York, and also of the said United States; and wickedly and seditiously to disturb the peace and tranquility, as well of the People of the State of New-York, as of the United States; and also to bring the said Thomas Jefferson, Esquire, (as much as in him the said Harry Croswell lay) into great hatred, contempt, and disgrace, not only with the people of the state of New-York and the said people of the United States of America, but also with the citizens and subjects of other nations; and for that purpose the said Harry Croswell, did on the ninth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and two, with force and arms, at the said city of Hudson, in the said County of Columbia, wickedly, maliciously, and seditiously, print and publish, and cause and procure to be printed and published, a certain scandalous, malicious, and seditious libel, in a certain paper or publication, entitled The Wasp;" containing therein, among Other things, certain scandalous, malicious, inflammatory, and seditious matters, of and concerning the said Thomas Jefferson Esquire, then and yet being President of the United States of America, that is to say, in one part thereof according to the tenor and effect following, that is to say: Jefferson, (the said Thomas Jefferson Esquire meaning) paid Callender, (meaning one James Thompson Callender) for calling Washington (meaning George Washington Esquire, deceased, late President of the said United States) a traitor, a robber, and a perjurer; for calling Adams (meaning John Adams Esquire, late President of the said United States) a hoary-headed incendiary, and for most grossly slandering the private characters of men, who he (meaning the said Thomas Jefferson) well knew to be virtuous, to the great scandal and infamy of the said Thomas Jefferson Esquire, President of the said United States, in contempt of the people of the State of New-York, in open violation of the laws of the said State, to the evil example of all others in like case offending, and against the peace of the People of the State of New-York, and their dignity.
