Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Star of the West, or National Men and National Measures When the honor, the rank, the commission, or the subsistence, of any class of Americans is at stake, the Constitution does not allow secret proceedings to be instituted against them; because an act so perpetrated directly interferes with their inalienable and fundamental rights. It forbids all conclaves, or cabals, which are invested with power, to make deductions upon the accusations they themselves have made when, unseen by the public eye, the parties so arraigned have been denied the means of personal explanation or defense! As Americans, we claim to belong to a nation distinguished for its freedom, its justice, and its intelligence; and to deprive a citizen of all that is dear in life, while absent and unconscious; to malign his reputation, without opportunity of defense, and thus bring upon him shame or destitution, is a crime by the laws of God and the country, and cannot but endanger the safety of the people! Whatever proceeding, under our institutions, tends to elicit truth and justice, requires the sanction of religious obligation, the examination of witnesses, and a faithful record! The board of officers that have recently sat in judgment upon the reputation, fortune, and happiness, of the entire naval corps, have exercised just such discretionary power as we know to be at war with the Federal Constitution, and at variance with the spirit and intent of the law of Congress.
