You w Il remember that the letter detailed some of the events of the Harper's Ferry invasion, and articularly the part borne therein by both sous cf rown, with the events of their fall and death. In the narrative, the peopl cf Harper's Ferry were described as + enemies,’ and it was this that led the Senate to believe that Coppic was not re- Peutant, but had stili cherished the same mali:- nant feeling toward the people of Virzinia that originally led to the invasion. Hence the rejec- tion of the prayer of tue petition by 4 unanimos vote. Mr. Thomas, who argued thi: te of feel- ing on the part of Conpie from the terms of this letter of sympathy to Mrs. Brown, wes a strong advocate for a commutation of the sentence when the petition was before the committee; but this letter eutirely changed bis opinion, and forced him to assume an opposite position.

It will be observed that in consenting so eagerly te it, they reversed their policy of the session up to that occasion, which bas been to dragoon their oppo- nents into long daily sessions and ballotings, whenever: they could possibly get a ballot. It was known that with exception of three or four notoinal leaders, all the Sonth Americans were Willing to vote then for Mr. Hamilton, and it was also feared by the Republicans that Messrs. Adrain, Clark of New York. and Reynolds would also vote for him if a third ballot of the day was taken; and further that with their votes and those of al] the South Americans, except, peruaps, Messrs. H. Winter Davis, Etheridze an gentlemen would vote for him on ihe next ballot.

Mr. D. strenuously argued that the claim = no foundation in justice, and ought not to be i Mr. Iverson then proceeded to reply to the ar- guments of Mr. Pugh, ona former occasion, on the question of popular sovereignty. His doctrine was that both the power and duty were conferred upon Congress to pass laws regulating slavery wherever it exists or may exist in the Territories He utterly denied the power of Congress to ex- clude slavery from the Territories. To regulate and protect is one thing; to deprive or exelude is a very different thing. If heever maintained the doctrine of popular sovereignty he had long since abandoned it. If the Charleston Convention re- fuses to adopt a platform recognizing Southern rights in this respect, the delegates from the South ought to withdraw from that Convention. He would not say he would refuse to support the candidate nominated by that Convention under such cireumstances. There were many men who might be nominated, in whom he had entire con- fidence—such as Hunter, Breckinridge, or Alex. Hl. Stephens. He wonld not support Judge Douglas should he be nominated with nothing better than the Cincinnati platform. On the conclusion of Mr. Iverson’s remarks the Senate adjourned, Mr. Green having the floor for to-day.

As he had isformed the American public by letter, which bas appeared in many of their papers, Captain Cook is wholly unknown to him, and xecusaticn is untrue. Uniess Cap- tain Cook was a person whe once called on him with Captain Brown, he does not even know who he is. With Captain Brown Mr. Donglass has long been very intimate, and he entirely approved of his plan of helping the slaves to escape to the ns, and secure their freedom. He was ntof the Harpers Ferry plan, but did bis utmost to dissuade him from it. In his anxiety vert what he deemed an impracticable scheme. went, about a month before the cvent, to visit Captain Brown at Chambersburg, about twenty- eight miles from Harper's Ferry. His arguments were, however, unavailing; and his visit would no donbt be taken as an evidence that he was a psrty to the plan. He is in no way, therefore, nixed up with the insurrection, except in so far that he did not betray his knowledge of it, and he isnotin any way chargeable with deserting Captain Brown, since Captain Brown weli knew that he was opposed to it.
