I Xhe fconferepce took .place jand was longjlearned and profound. The Fed errl Qonstitution, the lawsrjf 'nations, The decisions of the Supreme Court in .the trial of Aaron Burr. ' and pother causes celebre, having more cr le?s bearing on the case then under consid eration,' and'thd whole, list r of a State trials in tlie liisfory' of the" civilized world, were studied, weighed, analyzed and dissected, The council was 'divi ded tpon some points and agreed upon others .j;3e.F?Ars'i;rn11us for prosecution, others who had weigh- ed the subject more carefully insisted from he first upon the futility of such a course, and finally tne wiser counsels of the) latter prevailed and the propos- ' m 'J m e -m r t-v '' cd -prosecution ot 31 r. iavis, was, as will be remembered, suddenly aban- doned, although it may doubtless be news to aiany of our readers to learn that this sudden change of policy was the direct result 01 this solemn con clave." After, the council had adjourn ed, and Judge Clifford had- returned to his home, Mr. Hoadley inquired the result of their deliberations, and J udge Clifford made a htriking- and character istic reply in something like the follow ing language : Remarkable as the fact may ap pear, we find that tlu laws;6f the Uni ted States, are not so constructed as to affgrd any gertainty of punishing high treason or rebellion, and Mr. Davis if arraigned I under- them cannot be . brQughtconTlctiBn rhaps it h v .. . .
