LETTER EIGHT.
hoof of the Negociation between a Federal gen
tleman, authorised by the Leading Feddraliffs at
Washington, and Mr. Burr, to place himfelf in
the Presidency, at the late Election.
To the People of the United States.
'CONTINUED FROM OUR LAST.
1T is probable that Mr. Abeel was made ac
'quainted with the negotiation entered into be
tween Mr. Burr and the federal gentleman, by the
negotiator himfelf. For so firmly persuaded was
Mr. Abeel that Mr. Burr had cordially received
the federal negotiator, and assented to his propo
rtions, that he authotifed the gentleman, who
communicated to ns the above information, to re
peat it to Mr. Burr himfelf, and to fay that Mr.
Abeel was his authority for it. The gentleman
did not, however, communicate the information
to Mr. Burr, but he very frankly gave it to us for
the oleos the writer of the “ View." According
ly it was introduced into that work, which Mr.
Burr has read. Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn are the
two regrettable clergymen mentioned in it, and
they were generally known as Inch. Thus fittiat
ed, Mr. Burr could hardly do less than vi'fit Dr.
Lion and Mr. Abeel on the fubjeX. The follow
ing facts are also from Dr. Linn and the Rev. Mr.
Abeel, and, like the communication just read,will
not nor cannot be contradicted. Alter considera
ble time bad elapl'ed, Mr. Burr lent to Dr. Linn a
friend, who allied iiim to Sign a certificate for Mr.
Burr. This certificate Bated that the information
given by Dr. Linn, to the gentleman who had
communicated it to us for publication in the
-. View" was derived from common report. The
bearer of the certificate Subjoined, that Mr. Burr
wished Dr. Linn to do no more than limply to
certify that he got his information concerning the
negociation, from common report. Dr. Linn sent
for Mr. Abeel to consult with him on the fobjeft.
Mr. Abeel waited on Dr. Linn accordingly. Dr.
Luin then, in the presence of the bearer ,of the
certificate, asked Mr. Abeel whether he could sign
it ? Mr. Abeel replied no, Dr. Linn, you cannot ;
the information we gave of Mr. Burr's negociation
was not obtained from common report. Dr. Linn
then said he could not sign the certificate, and the
bearer of it took his leave.
Mr. Burr afterwards wrote a note to Dr. Linn,
requesting an interview with him at his \\o\rfealone.
When the note was received, Dr. Linn again sent
for Mr. Abeel t<> confer with him concerning the
Solicited interview. Mr. Abeel advised I)r. Linn
to avoid a conference with Mr. Burr alone, and
exprefled a readiness to accompany Dr. Linn, pro
vided Mr, Burr would receive them together.

This was agreed upon, and they accordingly
waited on Mr. Burr at his own houje, where an in
terview was had in the presence of a gentleman
whose name is to ns unknown. Mr. Burr address
ed himfelf to Dr. Linn and very politely enquired
whether the imormation Bated in the View, con
cerning his negociation with the federalills, and
said to have come from two refpeftable clergy
men in this city, was not derived by them from
common report ? The Rev. Mr. Abeel said no
the information was not derived from common re
port. Dr. Linn coincided with the Rev. Mr. Abeel.
A pause ensued.—Mr. Abeel fays, that he expected
Mr. Burr would have immediately enquired "from
whom, gentlemen, did yon receive the informa
tion ?” But that no such enquiry was made ; no
such question allied; Mr. Burr manifested no dis
position to lift the matter fo/clofely : he enquired
no further about it. Mr. Abeel then observed,
that himfelf and Dr. Linn had given rhe informa
tion to the gentleman, (who communicated that
information to us for publication in the View) and
that they were bound to fopport his veracity.
They were Sorry to fay any thing again!! Mr.
Burr, &c.—Mr. Burr thanked them for their com
pliments and they retired.
This is a faithful narrative of this Cingular inter
view, and on which we hope we may be permitted
to offer a few remarks.
The extreme solicitude of Mr. Burr to procure
a certificate from the Rev. Mr. Abeel and Dr .Linn,
Hating that they had received their information
concerning his negociation with a federal gentle
man from common refers, plainly indicates in him
a disposition to defend himfelf against the princi
pal charge exhibited in the View, in the moll con.
clufive manner. That he has not vindicated him
felf by tefiimony ; that he has not given to the
world other and better proof than his own bare
denial of the negociation, is solely attributable to
his incapacity to do more. The charge is of so
serious a nature, and, from the known character
of Mr. Burr, so pobable as to have induced him
to call into action, every power of his mind to re
pel it. Accordingly he availed himfelf of the only
alternative that promised success. Mr. Burr had
great reason to believe that the Rev. Mr. Abeel, if
not Dr. Linn, had been informed of the negocia
tion by the negociator himfelf. Still he deemed
it possible to obtain thorn them a certificate pur
porting that common report had informed them of
the negociation. Even such a certificate would
have been consoling to Mr. Burr, and no doubt
published with great triumph. And fucha certifi
cate, knowing, as he did, the connexion of Mr.
Abeel and Dr. Linn with the negociator, was the
only one for which he could allo Hence those
gloomy reflexions which sealed liis lips when the
certificate was in fa'X twice refufed, may be readi
ly accounted for. But why did not Mr. Burr ask,
when the Rev. Mr. Abeel boldly said, we did not
receive the information from common report, from

whom then did you derive it? If the monitor
within had not proclaimed to him his guilt, had
he not negociated with federalills to place himfelf
in the Prelideiicy, would he riot have laid, with an
air of innocent triumph, if you received not yom
information from common report, Irom w horn was
it derived ? I deny that the information is true,
I defy the world to prove it so; I challenge inves
tigation of it ; I infill upon it that you had your
information from common report, lince the infor
mation has no foundation in truth. Would not a
guiltless man, accused of an offence so enormous,
have demanded from whom the two Reverend
Gentlemen had obtained their information ? Mr.
Burr, however, made no such demand ; no such
enquiry. „ _ .
On the other hand, the refufal of Dr. Linn and
the Rev. Mr. Abeel to give the required certificate,
evinces that they riled iinplicioy on the louice
of their information ; that they had good cause
to deem it correct ; that they were in taX almost
as certain that Mr. Burr had negociated to place
himfelf in the Presidential chair, as it they t^cm
selves had been the negociators The refufal is
not, indeed, conclude proof of the negociation,
but it thews in the clearest point of view, that the
Rev. Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn bad to them fatisfac
tory cause to believe that Mr. Burr had cordially
received the negociator and entered fully into Ins
views.
Tliat the Reverend Mr. Abeel and Lr. Linn were
convinced that Mr. Burr had negociated with a
federal gentleman, will be Hill more apparent,
when we State who that gentleman is. Me then
declare that the federal gentleman WHO NE
gociatled with Mr. Burr, and who was autho
rijed to do so by the leading federal members of
Congress, then allembled at Washington, is
DAVID A. OGDEN, Enquire, counts L°R ^
LAW. Mr. David A. Ogden resides in tins city,
and is professionally connected with General
Hamilton ;we believe they are co-partners. I hey
however, both tranfaft profeffional business in one
office. The Rev. Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn are
known to be intimate with Mr. David A. Ogden
and Genera! Hamilton. Hence when the two
Reverend gentlemen stated to Mr. Burr that their
information was not derived from common report,
the allusion mult to him have been very obvious,
and the source of their information, though never
that we know of by them mentioned, will nut
now appear to the public lets so.
More than eight months ago we knew that Rtr.
Ogden was the negociator ; and it is now itateu as
an undeniable truth.
There is reason to believe that the negotiation
with Mr. Burr was tirft planned in this city. This
is, however, only a surmise, not very material in
itfelf, but proper to be mentioned. On the 16th
day of December, 18,00, we received information
that the electors of South Carolina were chosen.
From that day the success of Mr. Jefferton and

Mr. Burr and Mr. Ogden might have ridden to
gether in the mail without pre-concert ; whether
tnev did Jo or not, every reader will judge for
hiuife/t. To tis this fim,le aft speaks a pertinent
and eloqiient language ; it indicates much.
Mr. Ogden did not remain long at Washington—
Whi e there, he was authorised by the leaders of
ihe lederal party to Negotiate with Mr.' Burr,
cn cerning the term 01 with that party propos
ed to eleft him President of the United States.—
Thus cotjiimflioned, Mr. Ogden returned to this
city, early in January, 1801, fad an interview
with Mr. Burr, and submitted to him propofitioig
which Shall bye and bye be explained. To thele
propositions Mr. Burr assented.
Immediately after Mr. Ogden's interview with
Mr. Burr, a letter was written by a leading feder
alifl, in this city, to an influential member of
Congress, at Washington, giving a full and accu
rate detail of the negociation. Tte following
letter, addressed 10 a gentleman in this city, ind
written at Washington at the time, fully explains
the one penned by the leading federaliV just men
tioned.
" fPafoinpton, 2Qtb January, ißor.
“ It is oof true that there is an inequality in the
Mr. Burr was no longer doubted by either party.
The but resource of the federal party v as then to
effect rthe election of Mr. Burr to the Presidency.
Meant ,were immediately deviled, and we think in
this thy, to accompliti: that object. On Pit 27th
day of December, eleven days only after the South
Carols,a news was received, Mr. David A. Ogden
engageil a feat in the mail ttage for Philadelphia.
It is probable that previous to his going to Phila
delphia, he conferred with Mr. Burr on the Subject
of effecting his election to the Prefideny by the
efforts ol the federal party, and that he went to
Wellington to consult with tie leading federal
members ofCongrefs on the Scheme. It is believed
that Mr. Ogden had no pfoLffionalb efs !#
tranfad t at Washington,and it is therefore c fficulc
to conjecture what induced him, at that bleak
season of the year, to visit the feat of government,
unlffs to ^onfulr with the federal members of Con
gress on tie project to negotiate won Mr. Burr
rhe terms of his election to rhe Pre fideucy. We
believe that Mr. Ogden neat to Wellington cx
prefsly for that purpose, and that he previously con
lerred v itli Mr. Burr on the design;
Me havellated that M.. Ogden left this city in
rhe mail Stage for Pliiadelphia on the 27th day of
December. The following icert State, which
proves that Mr. Barr and himfelf rode together in
the fame mail, establishes the fact :
