But, on account of that victory, were they to sanction acts which, in the pamphlet referred to by the gentleman from Kentucky, [Mr. Underwood,] were argued to be treason ; and were they not only to sanction, but to reward those acts on that ground?
It reminded Mr. A. of an anecdote which he heard many years ago re- specting Gen. Arnold — a man very celebrated in the war of our revolu- tion. After his exploits in tliis country, (which were of two characters,) he went to England; and there, being... an object of contempt to every- body he saw, and particularly to every American, he still sought the company of Americans who visited England after the close of the war, and in the course of a conversation he had with an American with whom he had been acquainted in this country before his treason and treachery, he asked him what the Americans would have done with him if they had caught him instead of Andre, or if Andre had been delivered up (as was proposed) for the purpose of having him ? Said the American, 23 ^They would have buried that leg of yours which was mutilated in their service, with the honors of war, and they would have hung you for the umainder of your body.' That was the sort of justice which, compar- i.ively speaking-, would be more proper than that of his colleague, which was to reward General Jackson for imprisoning a judge because he had won the battle of New Orleans." 1 will now sir, (if I can be pardoned by the House for tliis, to me, most unpleasant digression,) turn to Avhat I conceive the true merits of the question — the propriety of the declaration and enforcement of mar- tial law, by General Jackson, at New Orleans; Wlien I speak of mar- tial law, I will not be understood as meaning the law establishing rules and articles for tlie govei-nment of the army of the United States.
