this tim "--tv is one clut lied with a responsibility as weighty and as delicate ns was ever assigned to an advocate iu behalf of an unfortunate fellow-man. No Iangua.ee that I can employ could give any additional force to the circumstances by which I am surrounded, and which press so heavily on the public mind as well as on my own. I conic, too, as a stranger to each one of you. Your faces I know only by the common linage we bear to our Maker but, in your exalted character of citizens 0f a'ncient and proud Commonwealth if Virginia, and of the Anieriean Union, jvav to you a passport of friendship aud 0). I conic from the sunsct-Kide of your Western uiountnins from beyond the llF eat State but I come nut as an alien to foreign laud, but rather as one who re- turns to the home of hi ancestors, and to -a i i may perpetual, or do 1 lorget that the very soil ou which I live in my Western home was once owned by this venerable Commonwealth as much as the soil on which I uow stand.

Her laws there ouce prevailed, and all her were there established as they are here. Not only uiy owu State of Indiaua. but also four other great State in the Northwest, Htand as enduring and lofty monuments of Virginia's magnanimity and priucely liberality. Her dtjBaium to' 'the 1 Government made them sovereign States; and siuce God gave the fruitful lund of Canaan to Moses and Israel, such a gift of present aud future empire has uever been made to auy people. Coining from the bosom of one of these States, can I forget the fealty and duty which I owe to the supremacy of your laws, the sacreduesu of your citizenship, or the sovereignty of your State ltather may the child forget its parent and smite with uuuatural baud the author of its being The mission on which I have visited your State is to me, end to those who are with mo, one full of the bitterness and poison of calamity and grief.

The high, the sacred, the holy duty of private friendship for a family fondly beloved by all who have ever witnessed their illustrations of the purest social virtues, commands, and uloutt my presence And, while they ore overwhelmed by the terrible blow which has fallen upon them through the actiou of tho misguided young man at the bar, yet I speak their sentiments as well as my own when I say that one gratification, pure and unalloyed, has been afforded lis since our melancholy arrival in your midst. It has been to witness tho progress of this court from day to day, surrounded by all that is calculated to bias the minds of men, but pursuing with calmness, with dignity, and unpar- tiality the true course of the law' and the even pathway of justice. I would not be true to the dictates of my own heart and judgment did I not bear voluntary and emphatic witness to the wisdom and patient kindness of his honor on the bench, the manly and penerous spirit which has characterized the counsel for the prosecution, the true, devoted, and highly -profes sional manner of the local counsel here for the defence, the scrupulous truthfulness of the witnesses who have testified, and the decorum and justness of the juries who have acted their parts from the first hour of this court to the present time I speak in the hearing of oountry. An important and memorable page in history is being written. Let it not be omitted that Virginia has thrown around a band of deluded men, who invaded her soil with treason and murder, all tho safeguards of her Constitution and laws, and plaped them in her courts upon au equality with her own citizens.

I know of what I speak, and my love of truth and sense of right furbid me to bo silont on this point. Gentlemen, I am not here on behalf of this pale-faced, fair-haired wanderer from his homo and the paths of duty to talk to yon about legal technicalities of law born of luborious analysis by the sight of. the midnight lamp. I place him before you cn do such ground. He is in tho hands of friends who abhor the conduct of which ho has been guilty.

But does that fact debar him of human sympathy Does the simple act smite the erring brother with a leprosy which forbids the touch of the hand of affection? Is his voice of re- peutence and appeal for forgiveness stifled in his mouth If so, the meek Saviour of the world would have recoiled with 1 body, turns eagerly and fondly to tho cou- dition assigned turn by the law not merely of Virginia, not merely of legiolaturea and but by the law of his beiug, by the law gjoverfis his to 1 tlic white man wherever the cootaot exists, by the btw which wade the hewers of wood lid, diwi water, uudsr a govv ernment formed by God himself, and which, since the world began down to the present time, has made the inferior subordinate to the superior whenever and wherever two unequal races have been brought together. Let this fact go forth to the country. Let it be fully understood by meu anJ women snil ei: tlie ot J'uur institutions 1 at iU repudiated, aud tl.it .1 L. a I. -'piseu oy ooui races iu the South.

This too, iigiui i has proven. is there anything left to bo done by your verdict iu peremptorily taking the lif the praousr, oiferiug it a sx-ri. the utc 1 huillbl' Did?

win not snnnK from the full and absolute recognition of my position lou and 1, gentlemen ot the jury, can. have no aecreta in this case from one another. We will withdraw the and look each other fully in the face. A citizen of the" State in which I live, who, by virtue of hut brilliant and commanding intellect, and because of his sound and national principles, has been placed at an early period of his life in the highest position in the power of a State to give, is hero besides me, and wears near his heart a sister's likeness to this boy. And there is not in the wide world, on the broad green face of the earth, a man, whose heart is not wholly abandoned to selfish depravity, who will not say that his preseneo her is commended by honor, love, duty, and fidelity to all that enuo- eternal impulses of the human heart, the world over, constitute our appellate court.

But the governor of the State of Indiana needs neither vindication nor defence as a statesman of catholic opinions, nor a3 a i man fully appreciating the duties 01 do-1 mestie life. iUthcr do I allude to his presence here aud bis position as the sgi- i tatiug questions of tho day to Bhow that something else besides ancestral inhcri- nnn ii x.

I have opokca cf Cook, his parentage and connections. Again 'cornea tho qacstioa, wht is he And now I proceed to answer it with ref. erence to tho tnuaactioca at Ilaroer'a Per- There are hearts and feelings woven in the destiny ot the pnsouer whioh bo relieved and solaced .13 far as truth dragged up from the depths of tins misfortune can relieve aud solace thera. Iu an erij hour and may it bo forever accursed John E. Cook met John Brown on the prostituted plaina of Kansas.

Ou that field of fanaticism, three years ago, this fair and gentle youth was thrown tato contact with the pirate and robber of cinl warfare. To othors wrnjc sympathies he has I will leave the task of transmitting John Brown as a martyr and hero to pog-terity. In my eyes he atands the chief of criminals, the thief of property stolen horses and slnvl3-r-frcm the citiieoa of Missouri, a falsifier here ia this court aal shall yet show, and a murderer nut oaly of your of the young men who have already lost their lives in his bloody foray on your border. This is not pleasant 10 say, but it is the truth, and as sucli ought to be and shall be said. You have seen John Brown, the leader.

Now -look cn John Cook, the follower. He is ia evidence before you. Never did I plead for a faoe that I was more willing to ahow. If evil is there, I lave not seen it. If murder is there, lam to learn to mark tho Hues of murder anew.

If the assassin is in that young face, then commend me to the look of an assassin. No, gentlemen it is a face for a mother to love, and a sister to idoliie, and iu which the natural goodness (if his heart pleads trumpet tongued aaioet the deep damnation that estranged hialfrura home aud its principles. Let us loci at the meeting ef these two aicn. Plaae theui side by side. Put tbe faoe by the face; the young head fey the old head.

We have teen eoiaewhat of the history of the youog man. Look new for a moment at the histoiy of tho old man. He did not go to Kansas as a peaceable settler with his interests liuked to the legitimate growth and prosperity cf that ill-fated Territory. He went there, in the language of one wlio has Fpokea for him since his confinement here, as tho MoeeB of the slaves' deliverance. went there to fulfil a drea, which bad ernment was assailod aud deiauged wheu His law was set at defiance and violated; I I lv 1 I 1 .1 when the purity of Edcu had been defiled by the preseuce and couusels of the ser- pent why, So can and can you, when i l.i 1 it IF the wrong and the crime stand contessca, ami every atonement is inaue to tlie ma i jesty of the law which the prisoner has iu his power to make.

Let us come near to each other aud have a proper uudcrstanding. I am la- boiiug with you for an object. I thiuit I know something of the human heart and of the leading attributes by which it is governed throughout the Jly vir- tue of those attributes, I feel that we may auoihilute the diktauce that separates udr homes, sweep away all blinding excitement, and sit dowu together aud reason noon this most tragic and melancholy affair as becomes citizeus of the same Goverument, proud of the samo lineage, actuated by the same interests, and forever liuked to the same destiny. You 3ro not merely empannelled iu your capacity as jurors to pass upon the life of this erratic youth before you, but tho nation cannot ba divorced from a deep and permanent interest iu your deliberations. The crime for which the law claims his life as a forfeit is one counected with a question of tho weightiest national import a question which, without any fault of yours, has rudely straiued aud shaken the bonds which embrace antdhold logcj her the' States of thisXniou.

This triuTiaTueT-dent to that question, and must be met iu tho face of the whole nation, and iu the view of the eutire American people, as a matter of universal interest and concern. The very nature of the offence now under discussion lifts us all to a point of observation on which statesmen and patriots have long bent their anxious looks. And the pressing, ever preseut and determined questiou of the hour which now sits with you in the jury-box, and will retire with you to your deliberations on your verdict, is, How shall you most fully meet the requirements of tho American people at large; best conduce to the peaee and repose of the Union; allay tho rushing winds that are abroad on the face of the great deep; say peace be still to the angry elements of passion and treasonable and at the same time do rrtf your duty as honest and conscientious men administering the laws of your State? If it shall bo in my power, iu sumo uieas-use, to point out tho course by which these great objects may' be attained, 1 shall uiark this, otherwise sad day on. which I address you, as the brighcst to nie in the calendar of time. And, further, if these objects are to be attained on your part by invoking into your midst, aod following the winning counsels of tluj meek- eyed aud gentle angel of mercy if you can faithfully discharge your oath as jurors, aud, at the same time, best meet the obligations which rest upon you as American citizens by tempering the bitter cup which justice commends to the lips of the prisoner with the ingredient of clemency, 1 know you, by tho universal law of the human heart, will rejoice in such an opportunity, aud join in the public and private happiness which will flow from jour verdict.

By the help of God, and appealing to Iliru for the purity of tho motives which animate my breast, I now proceed to demonstrate such a course as both just and wise in the case of John E. Cook. First of all things, gentlemen of the jury, is your duty to Virginia. Whatever she requires at your hands, that you aro to give. Your first love belongs to her; she is the matron who nursed you, and the Queen Mother to whom yoa owe allegiance.

As au advocate and defender at -of the doctrines of the State-rights men of the school of 1793, 1 do not come here to ask you to abate one jot or tittle of your affection and jealously for the honor aud interest of Virginia. Indeed, were such an invocation necessary, which 1 know it is not, I would invoke you by the great names of your history, by tho memory of your ancient leuown, by the thrilling associations of the classia soil on which we stand, and by the present commanding attitude which your Commonwealth holds before the world, to be true and loyal to what she has been, what she is, and what the hopes to be. But how stands Virgiaia in referenco to tho assault' which was made' upon her citizens aod her soil at Harper's Ferry on $0 17th day cf October, 1350, aud what i i ry, ud with reference to tbe fact tb Jjet us spread bread aco wjJe be-example tore U3 the moving panoraca of evi watch 1 rT 'leaches Us donousmeat at Firmer a For. uaiior. i answer inac tnat tootbtep rested but as for a cjoment ou your border, and was swept away by a whirlwind of patriotic ibdiguation.

You will say that your law has been violated your diguity and bouor as a free pcoplo iusulted. I auswer that, alas! it is tou truo; but I answer, also, that it is equally true that your laws havtV ken fully, thoroughly, and justly Hero in this court, agaiu and agaiu, the sword of justice, wielded by an eveu hand, has fallen upon tho miserable remnant of tho confederated baud who impiously mocked the integrity of tho American Union by assailing tho institutions of Virginia. The leader stands at tho foot of the gallows, and on its heights will expiate many crimes against the peace and laws of the country not least which is the crime of enlist-ing'yfrtifg'hYen, such as the prisoner iu a cruise ef piracy agaiust you and and all law-abiding citizens of this happy Union. Let leader of the mutiny on shipboard perish, but if it appears that young men have followed filao guidance, and been bound iu ti-i despotism of an iron will, order them back to duty, and give them due, more chance to show whether thoy are worthy of life or death. Virginia can thus afford to act.

It is one of tho chief blessings of power that it can extend mercy to the weak; and the crown jewel ot courage is magnanimity to the lallen. But there is another point on which Virgiuia, though mourning for the death of her citizens, has.ti'iumnhantlv met the aspersions and calumnies of tho enemies ot her domestic institutions by reason of the late outbreak at Harper's Ferry. Tho i itflntatrtm of domestic slavery to-day stands before the world more fully justified tuan ever before in tho history of this or, indeed, peihaps, of any other country. The liberator, urged on by a false, and spurious I philanthropy, deceitful aud sinister in its origin, and selfish and corrupt in its practice, cauie into your midst to set the bondsman free, and though violenco tore him from his master, though libttrty was sounded in his ear, though a leader was proclaimed to lead him to the promised land, though an impiously self-styled Moses of leliveraneo oaine in the might of the sword and placed arms of bold attack and strong defence in his hands, yet what a spectacle do wo behold The bondsman refusejs to be free drops the implements of war from his hands; is deaf to the call of freedom; turns agaiust his liberators, and. bv-instinct.
