LErrEa FRox FERNANDO WOOD TO GOVERNOR wsx
NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 1850.
NY DEAR srR-Read this letter over carefully, ana,
whether concurring not in Its view, believe 1t
mates from your friend, and man who has thorough
knowledge Of the pulse Of the people Of the free States
Your proceedings and conduct thus far, in the matter
Of tho conspiracy Harpers Ferry meet with general
approval, and elicit commentator from your enemies
your course cannot be too highly appauded and today
Now, my friend dare you DO bold thing and '.temper
Justice with mercyS Havo you nerve enough 70 send
Brown the State prison for life instead Of hanging
himf Or rather should ask whether such . course
would be consistent with your sense OF duty for
that eOlo controller official
duct Brown Is looked upon here a. the mere crazy
fool hardy cmissay Of other mcn. Circumstances
create q sympathy for him even with the most ultra
friends OF the South am Of this latter class by
cent speeches you may have observed. No Southern
rights but yet the Governor Of Virginia, Brown
should not be hung, though Seward should DO could
catch him and In such course my conduct would be
governed by sound policy The South viii gain by
showing that II be magnanmous 10 q fanatic In is
power. We who fight its battles can gain largely by
pointing TO such an instance Of ochivairy" You can
Judge Of southern sentiment better than myself can
judge OF Northern sentiment better than II the
South will sustain such act the whole North will rise
have thus briefly and frankly discharged my duty as
your frend to give advice under trying circumstances
Very truly, yours, FERNANDO WOOD.
ANSWER on GOVERNOR WISE TO vRRNAxDo WOOD
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. T. 1859
MI DEAR SRI have duly received and weighed every
word Of your letter give Ill credit for good motive
and good morals and az suggesting what, perhaps, In
good policy Now, listen to me- Tor my mind is innex
Oily maze up.
Had reached Harpcr's Ferry before these men were
captured land would have reached there in time had
been forwarded ~ ought 70 have been from Washington
and the Relay Housel would have proclaimed martial
law, have stormcd them In the quickest possible time
have given them quarter and II any had survived
would have tired and executed them Under sentence Of
court martial But was too late The prisoners were
captyes and then determined 10 protect them 70 the
utcrmost OF my power and did protect them with my
own person escorted them TO prison, and placed
around them such force ~ 10 overawe Lynch law.
Every comfort was given them by my ORDERS And they
have been scrupuously afforded fair and speedy trial
with every opportunity Of defence for which
openly perperaed before the eyes Of hundreds and
openly confessed They could escape conviction only
by technical exceptions and the chances for these they
had 70 greater degree by the expedition Of prosecu
ton. And the crimes deliberately done by them Of
the deepest and darkest kind which b committed
against our people. Brown the chief leader has been
legally and fairly tried and convicted and admits the
humanity Of his treatment prisoner, the truth OF
tho ipdctment the truthfulncea NJ vitnesce
