Published by John Campbell. Johnston states "it has been said that the 'President has no power that can be abused, except with more danger to himself than to the community,' and that ... ours is 'the most feeblest Executive perhaps ever known in a civilized community.' Is it not plain that the inference from all that is against the President's having the power to suspend the Habeas Corpus?" (page 48). Cover is missing.
