V'Te subjoin to our new alphabet, the
following short-hand cl nractors, for the
use ol such persons as sh ill be desirous
to adopt a very expeditious mode of
putting sounds 0.2 paper. Tin se charac
I ters are, we think, so simple as to ena! le
any one, who has a correct ear, to write
down a speech in almo t anv language,
f or such a performance, however, one
ought to become perfectly master of the
scheme for spelling, and also to make it
very lauiiliar 1 / practice. Double cha
| racte rs are allowed in several instances,
tn order that t v employing either of
them tin'joining of the parts of a word
may be facilitated, and tile beauttj of the
writing increased.

ll iron Burr. J mitnient.
1 AM required on the part of the at
torney tor the United States, to commit
the a -used on two charge s.
1st For setting on loot an l providing
the means for an expedition a puns'. the
terrimi it s of a nation at peace with the
U r.itc cl States.
2d For committing high treason a
galr.: t the Unit. <1 Stater.
On an application of this kind, I cer
tainly should not require that proof
which would he m-«a . ;-. -v to convict the
person to he lommind on a trial in
chief, nor rhoul l I even require that
which should a! solute ly convince mv
i cv inxr.d o. the rvi’t of t' ■ .d •
but I ought to require, and I'should re
quire that probable cause be shown,
and I understand probable cause to be a
case made out by proof, furnishing good
reason to bcli< ve that the crime alleged*
has been committed by the person charg
ed with having committed it.
I think this opinion entirely recon
cilable with that quoted from judge.
Bi t kstone. When that learned and ac
curate commentator says, that “ if upon
an inquiry, it manifestly appears that
no such crime has been committed, or
that the suspicion entertained of the
prisoner wa*? wholly groundless, in such
cases onh, it i- lawlul totally to dis
charge him ; otherwise he must be com
mitted to prison or give bail.’* I do
not mi. 1c rstand him as meaning to say
that »h hand of malignity may grasp
any in dividual against whom its hate
rnay ire directed, or whom it may ca
priciou ’v seize, charge him with some
secret crime, and put him on the proof
ot his innocence. But I understand that
the foundation of the proceedings must
be a probable cause for believing there
is guilt, which probable cause is only to
be done away in the manner stated by
Blackstone. Tire total failure of proof
on the part of the accuser, would be con
sidered by that writer as being in itseli
a legal manifestation ol the innocence of
tbe accused.
in mquirinr, tncretorc, into the
charges exhibited again* t Aaron Burr,
I hold myself hound to consider how
tar those charges are supported by pro
bable cause.
The first charge stands upon the tes
timony of general Luton and general
Wilkinson.
The witnes first nam< d, proves that
aroopg other pioj ' ts which were more
criminal, Col. Burr nvlit.ited an expe
dition against the Mexican dominions
o) Spain. '1 his d position may he con
