The Case If Perez The Philadelphia papers
make loud complaints against the President Tor ex
tending mercy to Perez, lately condemned to death
for piracy. They labor under great and singular
error. if lbey for moment imagine that the execu-
live cemency was extended at the instigatlon and
enireaties OF John Edwards, scale beam maker. The
motives which induced Mr.. Edwards 10 plead Tor
his pardon were praise worthy; but the mportuni-
ties the tears and entreates OF an enthusiast could
never we should imagine, bend the stern DEGREES of
justice The power OF pardonng was not confer
red upon the President to be so loosely exercised.
The facts are as we are informed, that the counsel
for the prisoner drew up statement OF his case,
with The legal points atissue; that Judge Van Ness,
one OF the Judges who tried him, had no hesitation
III concutiing in opinion with the counsel that, un
der The peculiar circumstances oil the case II would
not be right TO take the life OF the man; and we
should feel disposed concur with Judge Van Ness
in ALMOST any view which he may take of case IN
relation To law aud evidence II was not, therefore,
at the ertreates Of Mr. John Edwards that the Presi-
dent yielded his pardon, but upon the solemn and
satisfactory assurances Of the Judge and the counsel
that the life of the man ought not TO be forfeited.
We have already stated what the legal objections
were; and we now add another fact, related to US
by friend which puts the matter at rest This
friend informed US, that before the Captain gave his
testimony to the grand jury he went into the prison
to see Perez, and on his return, he was asked if be
was the man. ''Why think he is,'' said The Cap
tain, "bul can't positively swear to it,"
Now, on the threshold of The investigation, there
was doubt on the mind of the Captain, who is q
worthy man; and though his memory strength
Gned during the trial, and he swore positively TO the
fact vet there was doubt Oh his mind, and posi-
bih,y existed that Perez was not the man.
We entirely approve the course the President has
taken in this case National .9dr0cate.
