A VIEW OF THE POLITICAL CONDUCT OF AARON BURR, ESQ. VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE U. STATES.
By the author of the "Narrative."
As we presume that some account of this pamphlet may be satisfactory to our readers, and especially to those at a distance who may not have the opportunity of seeing it, we shall present to them a summary of its contents, with occasional extracts; observing the same strict neutrality in the controversy as far as it respects Mr. Burr and his former friends as we have hitherto.
The principal writer of the pamphlet is conjectured to be one of the editors of the American Citizen, Mr. Cheetham, "assisted in the editorial labors," as the Democratic Republican says of himself, by Messrs. De Witt Clinton, Tufts Wortman and Richard Riker, cum multis aliis—the Chiefs of this little band, however, is the redoubtable James Cheetham himself.
"In the revolutionary service he filled, at different times, subordinate posts; but he retired from it some years previous to the cessation of hostilities. Although not distinguished by the brilliancy of his military exploits, he left the army, it is believed, with unfulfilled reputation."
For many years after the war, Mr. Burr is represented to have been in a state of political apathy:
"He contemplated, in silence, the two conflicting parties. Aspiring to power and distinction, he meditated on which side of the political Scales he could throw his weight with most advantage to himself. In this state of irresolution he continued until the year 1789, when he made his election, and ranked himself among those who had then, and who have ever since, denominated themselves Federalists."
He was not long however guilty of the sin of federalism; for it appears that after joining in the unsuccessful opposition at that time made to the re-election of Gov. Clinton, he connected himself with the party which he had just opposed. This change is explained in this manner:
"It was soon discovered that Mr. Burr viewed with envy the superior estimation in which the Federal party held his rival General Hamilton. The same ardently aspiring spirit which governs him now, swayed him then. Like Cæsar, he could not brook a superior. They were jealous rivals at the bar; but in the view of the federal party, Burr, in comparison of Hamilton, was truly a secondary character. This mortifying consideration, together with the ascendancy of the Republican party, manifested in the election of the Governor, and the appointment of Hamilton to the office of the Secretary of the Treasury, in preference to himself, have always been considered as the cause of Mr. Burr's uniting himself to the Republicans."
We confess that the latter circumstance is entirely new to us; it is the first time that we ever heard that Mr. Burr was thought of as secretary of the treasury.
On the 19th January 1791, Mr. Burr "who was now on the Republican side of the House" was appointed a Senator of this State in the Senate of the United States, at which time he was also Attorney-General of the State. The writer then proceeds—
"Nothing very remarkable in the conduct of Mr. Burr occurred until April 1792, the returning period of the general election of governor. One would imagine that gratitude for the signal benefits conferred upon him, would have induced him cordially to unite his exertions with those of the Republican party. But Mr. Burr seems to have been indifferent to any interest but his own. He was absorbed in self-love: He had only one object in view, the gratification of an all-grasping, never to be satisfied ambition; and this he pursued with exhaustless ardour and indefatigable activity. But as it is with him now, so it was then, the very means he employed for the attainment of his wishes, were of all others the best calculated to defeat himself."
"The Republican Interest again determined to support the re-election of Governor Clinton: The Federalists were somewhat at a loss for a Candidate, their former one, Judge Yates having declined to be held up against the Governor. In this
* This is a little of a mistake in the classical Marcus Tullius Cicero: Cæsar, it is said could not brook an equal; Pompey, a superior.
situation of affairs, Mr. Burr deemed it expedient to cause himself to be announced as a candidate in opposition to the one whom the republicans had agreed to support. This was done in the full expectation that the Federalists would really and cordially unite to raise him to the chief magistracy of the State—Accordingly corresponding exertions were made by a few of Mr. Burr's friends. A meeting was held in the city consisting of seventeen persons only, who agreed to support him in opposition to the Governor. This meeting was composed partly of his personal friends, who then resided in the city, and others from the country; the principal part of whom were Federalists. It was soon, however perceived that nothing could be done by a number so small, without the aid of one of the great contending parties; and it was found, in despite of the many machinations which were employed, that the adherence of the Republicans to the Governor, could not be shaken. Application was therefore made to the federal party, by a few of Mr. Burr's friends; and it is presumed with his concurrence, to take him up as their candidate."
"During the negotiation a federal meeting was called, and a committee appointed to wait on Mr. Jay, to request him to consent to be considered their candidate for the office of Governor. Mr. Jay gratefully accepted the offer, to the infinite disappointment and mortification of Mr. Burr!"
"At this time Mr. Burr was at Philadelphia, where the Senate of the United States were in session. Immediately after it was known that the proposition had been made to Mr. Jay, and that he had assented to it, two of Mr. Burr's friends were dispatched to meet him at Princeton, in New-Jersey. Here a consultation was held, and it appearing that there was no prospect of success from either party, it was sagely concluded that Mr. Burr's friends should declare his disclination to be a candidate! This ridiculous farce was accordingly announced in the papers! Governor Clinton was re-elected."
"Hence forward one would imagine Mr. Burr would throw off this duplicity, assume a definite character, the part of a wise and upright statesman. The chagrin which, laboring under this accumulated load of disgrace a man of ordinary sensibility must have felt, would have induced expiation by future exemplary conduct. But Mr. Burr's pursuits were not to be impeded by pebbles!"
"Still were his views directed to the Chief Magistracy of the State Government. He entertained no hopes of a foreign Embassy from the Federal Executive. Washington knew his character, and it was now generally believed would never confer an office upon him."
Let it be understood that we do not mean by the selecting facts to make them in any manner our own or to be considered as assenting to them or lending them any degree of support. Should an answer appear it shall be faithfully given in the same impartial manner. In the mean time we shall not feel restricted from occasionally making such remarks as candor and a love of truth may dictate.
The writer next charges Mr. Burr with intriguing against Governor Clinton in the early part of '95. He says Mr. Burr procured letters to be written from New-York to an influential member of the Legislature then in session at Poughkeepsie, to induce the republican party to represent to Governor Clinton the expediency of declining to be considered as a candidate at the ensuing election, and that they should unite in taking up Mr. Burr as his successor. A laudable and sharp-sighted jealousy of Mr. Burr had even then however suggested to the Clintons that he was a man to be feared; one who would stand in the way of their ambitious family projects, and accordingly it was determined to disappoint him at any rate. But as the old Governor had prudently determined to decline a contest with Mr. Jay, Judge Yates, the former federal candidate, obligingly lent his name to the Clintons; but was unsuccessful. Here the pamphlet charges Mr. Burr, with observing a "strict neutrality" between the supporters of Mr. Jay, the federal candidate, and the supporters of Mr. Yates, the republican candidate pro tem. This brings us to the year 1797, when Mr. Burr first made a push for the Vice-Presidency:
"But of the 136 votes he had only 30. His political standing was so young, himself so little known generally, and his sentiments, where they were understood, were viewed as so very ambiguous, that his pretensions were rather a subject of ridicule than of serious import. At the same time he was suspected of having tampered with some of the federal party in our state Legislature."
"In this year (1797) Mr. Burr was elected a member of the State Assembly for the city of New-York. This was the first time, for some years, the Republicans had been successful in that city."
"The following session of the legislature, was in various respects, important. The temporary ascendancy of the federal party was evidently on the wane. The son of Republicanism, which had sustained a transient eclipse, was emerging resplendent from its preternatural obscurity. The election for Governor was to occur the ensuing year. Success materially depended on the wisdom and vigour of our measures; on cherishing the party by a cordial interchange of sentiment, and by pursuing steps calculated to diminish the numbers and attenuate the spirit of our opponents. Mr. Burr, however, was far from promoting the one or contributing to effect the other. In the legislature, he neither exhibited that firmness nor activity for which so much credit has been improperly given him. He appears rather as an isolated individual, belonging to no party, than a warm and active friend of the republican cause. He rarely if ever attended a republican meeting, and NEVER, it is believed, wrote a single line in support of freedom."
"In 1798, a year distinguished by Federal terror and proscription, the election of Governor of the State occurred. Mr. Burr was now sensible that it would neither be proper nor availing for himself to be held up as the Republican candidate. For that exalted office Chancellor Livingston was supported by the Republican party. While Mr. Burr abstained from opposing the nomination of the Chancellor, he studiously avoided doing any thing to promote his election. The Chancellor was, however, honorably and spiritedly supported by the great body of his friends: Mr. Burr was the only man of note in the party who appeared listless of the event."
"Notwithstanding, circumstances conspired to favor the re-election of his opponent, Mr. Jay, who succeeded by a large majority. But although we lost the election of the learned candidate for the office of governor, we acquired strength in the Legislature. Republican representation, with the exception of one man was again sent out from the city of N. York; and in this representation Mr. Burr was included."
"We shall now take a cursory view of his conduct in the Assembly, and see how far it is honorable to himself, or affords to the party who have hitherto given him their support, reasonable ground of confidence."
"It has been already stated that Mr. Burr rarely attended the meetings of the Republican members of the Legislature; it may be added that in his individual intercourse with them, he manifested a stiff and unfriendly reserve. He *ALWAYS appeared intent upon playing the part of a wily rather than that of an honest, comprehensive, and profound statesman. With the eyes of a lynx, he was more on the watch to convert incidental circumstances to his private advantage, to the furtherance of his immeasurable ambitious views, than to seize and appropriate them to the public weal. While therefore he was distrusted by the federalists, he was suspected by his own party. On trying and delicate questions, or such as might expose him to the obloquy and censure of his opponents he was backward in exhibiting his sentiments. He was known to mingle with the opposite party in the legislature, and frequently to manifest a double front. His tergiversating conduct on many important points, furnished abundant reason to suspect the purity of his views, and the sincerity of his political professions. He frequently exhibited solicitude for the success of federal measures in the house, by a wary avoidance of opposition to them; measures which could not be carried without vitally injuring the cause he ostensibly espoused. Proof of this assertion shall be adduced."
This proof consists in asserting that Mr. Burr absented himself from the house on the vote for a member of the council of appointment, so that Mr. Foot, a federalist, was elected and the republican party defeated. But it is a little remarkable that by the statement of the votes it appears that Mr. Burr's presence would not have varied the result. However, it seems that the Clintons laid hold of the fact at that period and husbanded it among themselves for time of need. Mr. Burr is then charged with favoring the application of young Philip Schuyler as State Treasurer, but whether true or not the reader is left to conjecture for himself. This is the proof the writer had promised to adduce. It serves at any rate to show that Mr. Burr has long been an object of envy and hatred to the Clintons, and that they have been vigilant over him for years to lay up every equivocal or reprehensible action as a subject for future impeachment before the public. While therefore the reader may find himself obliged to yield to

the force of evidence, where evidence is produced, he will perhaps think he should be very cautious how he yields implicit confidence to any thing resting on the assertion of people stimulated by the turbulent emotions of a restless personal ambition.

BOSTON, July 22. COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT.
We understand from Salem, by a late arrival at that port from Sumatra, that the pepper had been lately scarce, it was at the time of the Belisarius's sailing very plenty the crops have been gathered in. A vessel of three hundred tons could having loaded in five days. No kind of detention took place in loading after the crops were in. The English residents at Sumatra have not the power to prohibit the trade of foreigners to the island, neither have they the disposition.
Letters from South America confirm the intelligence we have before received, of the infamous treatment which the Americans meet with in that quarter. The government of this country is bound to protect its citizens against foreign oppression; but of what avail is the humanity of government, if it has, by a left handed and crooked policy, enfeebled itself in such a manner as not to be enabled to afford the relief demanded. The insults which are offered to our flag, and the spoliations made on our commerce, by the Spaniards, are but a repetition of sufferings, which have frequently been experienced by our merchants; & while we continue without a navy, we may be assured of receiving them, as often as we afford the means of gratifying the rapacity of avarice.

PHILADELPHIA, July 24. The American Philosophical Society has lately received from John Brown, esq. of Kentucky, a bone which appears to have belonged to some animal of the Buffalo kind, which is deposited in the same room with Mr. Peale's interesting skeleton of the Mammoth, or Wonder of the Western World.
It is a piece of a skull, with a part of the core of the left horn—it evidently appears to have belonged to an animal of at least three times the size of any Buffalo now living, as it measures at the base of the horn, 21 inches in circumference!
Has lately been added to this valuable collection, casts of 12 pieces of bones of the fore leg and foot of an animal found in Virginia, described in the 4th volume of the transactions of the American Philosophical Society, with plates.
It was an animal with claws of enormous length; one of the bones which merely filled the sockets of the claw itself (which must have extended many inches beyond this bone,) measures 6 1/2 inches in length independent of a part of the end broken off, and in width two inches.
Comparing these casts with the engravings in the same room of the skeleton, which was found one hundred feet below the surface of the earth at Paraguay, in S. America, now erected in the king of Spain's museum at Madrid, it appears that they are the same species of animal, but what kind of animal, is difficult to know with certainty, as we have no animal living correspondent to it. The form of all the bones are wonderfully curious.

Capt. May, of the Polly was boarded in gulf of Genoa, by an Algerine ship of 18 guns, in company with another of the same size. The Polly, in consequence, was put under quarantine at Barcelona the 17th April, and so continued on the 21st May.
Capt. Wilkinson of the Sally, from N. Orleans, spoke the following vessels: June 25, schr. Maria, Cheguiger, from Baltimore, bound up the Mississippi. 26th, ship Hannah, Pasquil, from Cape Francois; and brig Augustus, Crane from Philadelphia also bound up.
LOUISVILLE, (Kent.) June 4. Arrived off this town on Friday last, the brig Eliza Greene, captain Hodgkiss from Marietta, where she was built and completely rigged for sea—she failed in company with a ship built at the same place, which it is expected will arrive here this evening. The master of the boat which passed the ship about nine miles above the mouth of Kentucky, informs, that during a storm the main mast of the ship was struck with lightning and very
much shattered; but no other damage was sustained.

THURSDAY, JULY 29.
This day arrived the schooner Paragon, Capt. Wattles, 18 days from Martinique. The day before capt. Wattles failed, a French Corvette, in 22 days passage from France arrived at Martinique, having on board a Prefect for that island, two General Officers and a Governor for Guadalupe.—The French fleet with 15,000 troops was to sail from France for Martinique, in 15 days from the time the corvette left there.
One single circumstance should convince the people of these states of the iniquitous designs, and unprincipled views of the champions of democracy, and of the base tools enlisted in their service. This circumstance is, that they have laboured to produce the ruin of the last administration and its supporters, by the vilest slander, and most venomous falsehood, that they have been over and over again detected and exposed, and that, after detection and exposure, they have invariably avoided the course of honesty, have pitifully sneaked away from an ingenious acknowledgment of error, or impudently continued in the propagation of calumny. As we have said, before, this is the curse which lights upon knavery, and the American people ought to notice where it lights, that it cannot, with any uniformity, assume the appearance of rectitude, and uprightness. Our observations receive illustration from a recurrence to the recent jacobin calumny of Mr. Rofs, and the wretched evasion which has ensued upon its exposure.—An insinuation—a low, creeping artifice, constantly used by the jacobin scribblers, was made, that Mr. Rofs had received 500 dollars, to be used in the advancement of his election to the office of governor of this commonwealth. The insinuation was proved to be as base as its author; the thing shown to be impossible, and to have originated from a wilful disposition to lie and calumniate. A miserable, pitiful and knavish equivocation ensues, the first charge is entirely forsaken, and the happy conclusion is arrived at, that Mr. Rofs is “a daring and unprincipled politician,” because, forsooth, we have not said that he is not. Whether Mr. Rofs received the 500 dollars legally or not, we shall leave to the government and the public to decide, upon his own statement, and the declarations of Judge Brackenridge, with respect to the propriety of the measure, and the fidelity of its execution. It is enough for us to have shown the people how they are insulted by these wretches who wilfully lie, and vilely bespatter the purest characters in our community, and when they are exposed, creep off into their native bogs of falsehood and corruption. (Gaz. U. S.)
Oppression, exercised without hypocrisy, would not be prudent or safe. Its naked, palpable form, often rouses the most abject slave to vengeance. It must sometimes wear the semblance of humility, or of love for the people. In this way it makes the mean passions of the populace its instruments. This cant of hypocrisy, which we often find upon the lips of usurpers and demagogues, increase their ability to play the tyrant, while it gives them some security from its consequences.—Names are things.
A Roman Emperor could inform the senate, that he ought to be the slave of the whole body of the people, for he had always found them good, kind and favorable masters. Yet this man was one of the greatest tyrants whoever sat upon the throne of the Cæsars.
Cromwell was content to be plain simple Oliver, yet he was a usurper, while he was making his way with an army to the throne of the Stuarts, he had such a sense of equality upon his mind that he could sleep with his Sergeants.
When Bonaparte received the Senatus Consultum , re-electing him for another ten years, he concluded his answer, by observing, that in the judgment of the Senate he ought to make a fresh sacrifice for the good of the people, and if the will of the people commanded, he would do what the suffrages of the Senate authorized. This man elected himself, by the point of the bayonet, Consul for ten years; this was the first sacrifice , for the good of the people; and now he is waiting to make another, for the same cause, nay he has
been persuaded to extend the sacrifice thro' the period of his whole life.
We have heard of another great man who was reluctantly dragged from his philosophic retreat, where he had been arranging the bones of a great animal, to be the ruler of a great people. He despises the pomp and circumstance of power, is very plain in his dress, associates familiarly with “oppressed humanity,” and even divides his power with it. He is a great lover of the people, and is often distressed lest their mouth should not be filled.—He hates power to such a degree, that he seizes and makes opportunities to give it away, choosing to depend on the gratitude of such as he lifts from the mire, for support rather than upon a sense of common justice in himself. Nay he is avaricious of power, but it is only to give away. It is not for himself, but for those who will be sensible of the kindness. (Palladium.)
Mr. Callender will unfold all the secrets of Democracy. His name makes the hair of a Democrat stand an end. (Virginia Gazette.)

“Secrets worth knowing!” In the Richmond Recorder of the fourteenth instant. Mr. Callender says, that “David Randolph was turned out of his office, as Marshal for this state; and the cause was said to have been his misconduct upon Callender's trial for sedition. But if the conduct of Randolph was bad, we have always considered that of Thomas Nelson, the present Federal Attorney General as being infinitely worse.”—“The Republicans turned Mr. Jefferson into the Presidency for this as the CAPITAL REASON, that he might turn their persecutors out of office.”—“That, by retaining Thomas Nelson in office, he [Mr. Jefferson] has trampled upon HIS PART of a CONTRACT which although neither signed nor sealed, WAS ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTOOD AND REQUIRED BY THOSE WHO MADE HIM PRESIDENT.”
[If these things be true we ought forever to be silent about the corruptions of European governments. When offices become the subjects of barter and contract, our Country must be in a deplorable situation.]
FRENCH TRIBUNATE—MAY 8.
Observations against the establishment of a Legion of Honor.
Savoy-Rollin attacked the plan as contrary to the letter and spirit of the constitution. “A free state contains only magistrates and citizens.—Those who wish to defend the plan rely on the 87th article of the constitution; which declares, that national recompences shall be given to those warriors who shall have rendered conspicuous services in fighting for the republic. I only see in that a promise of granting to our brave soldiers individual recompence; but to discover, in this article, an order of chivalry, a privileged corps, one must forget our language and our constitution.”
“The people ought not to tolerate a body bound by oaths and more powerful than the people, to undertake the defence of the constitution. The people should be subordinate only to their magistrates, and those magistrates are designated by the constitution.”
“Tribunes, to accept a Legion of Honor is to accept of a Patrician Order ! It is the introduction of an hereditary and military Noblesse into the republic.”
“After twelve years of frightful calamities, which the genius of France (guided by one of those extraordinary men who are necessary to finish revolution) has surmounted, to accept of such an institution, armed with power and privileges, would be to go back to the point from which we set out. What do I say? It is going back to those barbarous ages that gave birth to the feudal system, which began with war horses, fine coats of armour, and festivals, but which ended with enslaving of Europe for eight centuries.”
“Such is the case now in Russia and in Turkey, where the condition of the citizens or subject is subordinate to the class of soldiers. In a free state, the civil officer ought to have the first place.”
“It will be quite different in the Legion of Honor , and will it not be shameful that an officer, who shall have taken a redoubt at the point of the sword, should have a higher rank than Montesquieu, the author of the immortal work “The Spirit of Laws?””
“For many ages our Kings even did not dare to trust the defence of their states to knights errant or to orders of chivalry. Why this exclusive denomination of Legion of Honor , as if honor was an exclusive privilege? Honor is not given, it is acquired. Often those to whom it is given have not deserved it, and those have deserved it to whom it has not been given. Besides one of the disposition of the plan postpones the execution till the 1st Vendemiaire, year 12. I do not see why the sanction of it should not be postponed for the same term. I vote its rejection.”—This speech was ordered to be printed.
CHAUVELIN opposed the plan that was now presented; and thought that both the authors and defenders of it had very widely separated from the object they declared.—Without doubt it is incumbent on us to discharge the great debt of national gratitude to our brave warriors; we must confirm what has been already decreed, and add other rewards of a new, honorable, and distinguished nature. But, can it be necessary to incorporate civil functionaries in an organization altogether military?—In the ancient Republics military exploits have been often rewarded by civil distinctions; a crown of laurel or of oak leaves adorned alike the head of the warrior and the magistrate, the poet and the artist; but this will be the first time that heroism in civil offices is to be repaid by military honors, that are nothing in the eyes of reason, if not gained in battle. If the oath required of this corps was necessary for the security of our rights, it should be taken by the army in general, and by all Frenchmen. If it be superfluous, it can only tend to call in question that equality which the laws consecrate, which is dear to all Frenchmen, which was introduced by our manners for half a century past, and which was rather acknowledged than required in 1789.—Such a corporation as this would partake of the vices of Noblesse , on account of the distinction conferred upon it; it would, like the clergy, possess itself of estates in the mort-main, and would, like them, continue a separate order in the state. The authors of the plan represented this institution as a useful intermediary between the power of the government and the public opinion; such doctrine is altogether unconstitutional; in a representative government the constituted authorities are the only intermediaries between the government and the People. In France L is the Tribunate, of the Senate, and the legislative Body that are the constitutional intermediaries. In order to pay the great debt of national gratitude it may be necessary to strike out a new coin, but this coin however should not be struck at the expence of the French people. He voted for rejecting it.

COTTON PLANTATIONS,  On the Sea Coast of Virginia.
THE subscriber wishing very much to see an establishment of this kind introduced into our state; and being convinced that should the same succeed, a considerable source of industry and wealth would arise therefrom: offers to the consideration of any person or persons the following circumstances:
It has been the opinion of Southern gentlemen with whom the subscriber has conversed on this subject, that there could be no doubt of the success of such an undertaking, if properly conducted, and that at any rate it was worth the experiment. To an enterprising character, a field is here opened, by which, should success attend, a vast source of wealth may accrue. The more southern parts of this continent have experienced the benefits arising from the culture of cotton in the most eminent degree. When we consider how small a portion of our state from climate and situation is capable of being converted into improvements of this kind, and that should this small part which can alone possess the advantage become successful in the experiment, the result must be obvious to all.
Smith's Island lies in the Atlantic Ocean, immediately off Cape Charles, is about 37 degrees 15 m. of latitude, and contains about 4000 acres, a considerable part cleared.
The Island of Mocon lies immediately adjacent, and contains about 2000 acres, the most part cleared.
The soil on Smith's Island is finely productive, the climate so mild as to vegetate at all times, and support a great stock without any other food than the natural grass.
With respect to Smith's Island, some restrictions would be made concerning the stock, game, &c. the other would be let unconditionally. The advantages arising from fisheries at these places might be made very considerable. Salt works were formerly carried on likewise, but whether an object at this time, must be determined by the best acquainted.
Proposals may be addressed to me in Alexandria, to the care of Washington Craik, Esq. and shall be attended to.—Having a considerable quantity of the Georgia Sea Island or Black Seed Cotton in my possession, any person who might incline to make the experiment may be accommodated with the same—it was imported direct from the southward.
I cannot close my observations respecting this property, without remarking that it has long been subject to the depredations of evil minded persons. It has always been the desire, intention and orders of the subscriber, that the shipwrecked sailor receive on Smith's Island, every protection, comfort and assistance it is capable of affording; but the same disposition which will alleviate the distresses of the unfortunate, will punish the vices of the wicked.
