During the arguments Of Counsel, Brown Ia,
on his back covered with BLANKET and his eye,
closed. After Mr.. Hunter concluded his powerful
address against the prisoner, Mr.. Chiffon asked
the court to instruct the jury If they believe the
prisoner was not a citiEen Of Virginia, but Of
another State, they cannot convict on a count Of
treason.
The court declined, saying the constitution did
did not give rights and iAmu1ities alone, but also
imposed responsibih ties.
Mr.. Chiffon asked another instruction to the
effect that the jury must be satisfied that the place
where the offence was committed was within the
boundaries Of lstfsrseS coun,r wAloh thsevur,

snALL OLD RRnwN nE HnNG ,

We observe movement being made by The
conservative journals Of The North n favor of the
Communication Of the sentence Of "old Brown"
from death 70 imprisonment for life Tho New
York Journal of Commerce Is In favor Of this,
and gives three rcisonn why Il should be done, as
follows
" We Rre asked why wo are opposed 10 putting
these wicked men 10 death. we would say we are
oppofe1 70 II on throe grounds. Fiysf Because il
would convert them into Nayiys In the estimation
of many misguided people. Death has n wonder
hl effect n such cases. II often makes men
kartyr' FOR very In-ufheient reasons But i'm
pnsonment for life NJ hard labor would only make
them tioHs Pew men sympatbiEs with the felou;
almost oil have tears 10 shed for the martyr
John Brown should not ho made martyr. He
is not worthy Of IL In the second place, the
putting of these miserable men to dehth, 10 the
present excited ftnie Of public feeling would
eGaspf rate. instead o. giving time for cool rcdec
tion The latter is what IL now needed by the
masses of the people In all sections of our coun-
try. And In The third place. the imprisonment Of
these nen for lifc. and hard labor. would answer
all The ends Of justice Most Of the band Of
the dospcrndoes were killed In the struggle. Their
9eak and foolish attempt demonstrated that the
slayes arcpud Harper'a Ferry 10 Virginia mud
Maryland, are attached aud fnitbful to their mas
ters there Ia nothing % be gained by nsugurat-
Ing system Of tsvorism, when Il is so manifoBtly
unnecessary.
For these reasons--we might assign more II the
occasion required tive 40 most earnestly hope
that the Executive Of Virginia will not allow mat.
ters 10 be pushed 10 an extremity Il often holds
on the errcnDH n the law as Of the nature Of the
law, thai the cid legal axiom is true
Sumnum jU, summd HuipmS hljnrin.
Let moderate and general counsels now prevail,
and not vndotvc and blind feeling.
We admit that there is much truth In the
reasons assigned above why old Brown should
not he hung and thus be made martyr Of, bat
wc think that there are stronger roasons why be
should be put to death II bis death win make
him mn example 10 bs initiated by miserable and
misguided fanatics, II will also make him an
example 10 deter the more thinking and cautious
Of the abolition desperadoos We hope Gov
Wise will pass uuheeded all appeals for comoncy
and mercy Old Brown deserves to die, and he
has been condemned to death by jury Of his
sountrymcn. Let him have his deserts.
