THE BOOSTERS AT HARPER's !
PERRY.
The Washington Constitution publishes the
Of the Hon D. n. Voorhees, Of Ter
re Hauts, Ind, upon the trinl Of John E. Cook,
indicted for Treason, Murder and Incitine
Slaves to rebel at Harper's Ferry, Va. Oct.
II, lsss-delvered at Charlestown, Va, Nov.
8, 1859, Tho Constitution is particular as to
dates and phraseology, and 80 IRE We. The
Constitution calls it "a powerful and truly elo
queut address, "a forensic effort Of unusual
hrilasancy," "a beautiful aud touching appeal,
and adds that "no 4ne can finish tho perus;,l
without feeling that ho il wiser and q better
man aud truer patriot" The article in the
Constitution looks very much ike an insinua-
uon that Cook might be pardoned without
danger u the pespetuity Of the unien md
"them things.'' It Will be borne in mind that
conk wss convicted only Of murder and insur-
raction-not Of treason. Il il in the power Of
the Democratic Governor Of Virginia to pardon
tbs hro1her-in-law Of the Democratic Governor
Of Indiana. No authority supervcnes but tic
authority Of the mob.
