We have not, indeed, adop...ted the law of con- structive presence, which holds that a man who incites or procures a treasonable act, is, by force of the incite- ment or procurement merely, legally present at the act. But it may be sufficient to constitute presence, if he is in a situation in which he can co-operate with any act of hostility, or furnish counsel and assistance to the parties if attacked (United States vs. Burr, 4 Cranch, 470). The modern facilities of communication greatly enlarge the field of co-operation.
