FERNANDO WOOD PLEADING FOR
OLD JOHN BROWN.

The following remarkable letter from
Fernando Wood to Governor Wise, Of
Virginia, advising the commutation Of
John Browns sentence to Imprisonment
for life, has been printed:
New York, November 2, 1859.
The Hon. H. A. Wise.
My DEAR SIR-Read this letter over
carefully, and, whether concurring or
not in its view, believe it eminates from
your friend, and man who has
thorough knowledge of the pulse of the
people of the free States. Your pro-
ceedings and conduct thus far in the
matter of the conspiracy at Harper's
Ferry meet with general approval, and
commentator from your enemies. The
firmness and moderation which have
characterized your course cannot be too
highly applauded, and to-day you stand
higher than any other man in the Union.
Now, my friend, dare you do bold
thing and temper justice with mercy?"
Have you nerve enough to send Brown to
the State Prison for life instead of hang
ing him? Or rather, should ask whether
such course would be consistent with
your own sense of duty, for I know that
is the sole controller of your official con-
duct. Brown is looked upon here as the
mere crazy or foolhardy emissary of other
men. Circumstances create sympathy
for him even with the most ultra friends
Of the South. I am of this latter class,
as by recent speeches you may have OBJ
served. No Southern man could 60 fur
ther than myself in behalf of Southern
rights, but yet, were the Governor Of
Virginia, Brown should not be hung
though Seward should be if could catcf
him, and in such course my conduc
would be governed by sound policy. Th'
South will gain by showing that it can b.
magnanimous to fanatic in its power
We who fight its battles can gain largel,
by pointing to such an instance of "chiv
airy" You can Judge of Southern sen
timent better than myself; can judg
Of Northern sentiment better than you
If the South will sustain an act the Who'll
North will rise up en- masse to applau'
it. I have thus briefly and frankly dis
charged my duty as your friend, to Civ
advice under trying circumstances. Yer
truly yours, FERNANDO WooD.

IMPURE BREATH,

Among all the disagreeable consequences
that follow the decay of the teeth, an i'm
pure breath must be the most mortifying
and unpleasant to its possessor, and it Is
the mostinexcusibleand offensive in socieiy 4;
and yet the cause of it may easily be
moved by cleansing your teeth daily with
that justly popular dentrifrice, Fragrant
SOZODONT. It purifes and sweetens the
breath, cools and refreshes the mouth, and
gives pearl-like appearance to the teeth.
Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as
it removes all unpleasant odors Of the weed.
Ask your druggist for it.
