TRIAL
OF COL. AARON BURR
(Continued by adjournment and held at the Capital in the Hall of the House of Delegates, for High Treason against the U. States.)
MONDAY, August 10.
Present JOHN MARSHALL, chief Justice of the United States.
21. William B. Chamberlayne stated, that he stood in a very particular situation, if as Mr. Wickham declared, any man was unfit to be a jurymen who had asserted colonel Burr to have been worthy of death; he was ready to confess that he himself came under this restriction: He had so said; but did not now believe that col. B. had committed an overt act of treason, though he believed him to be guilty of the intention: he however believed that he could do him justice: and that he could conscientiously pass between him and his country—Set aside.
22. David Lambert wished to be excused on account of his indisposition; but the court rejected his plea. On being interrogated he declared that he does not recollect to have formed an opinion for or against col. Burr. Elected.
23. William Hoomes had no hesitation in saying that he had often declared his opinion that colonel Burr was guilty of treasonable intentions, and perhaps he might say of treason itself. He had imbibed his impressions from every thing he had seen, heard or read. He had understood that colonel Burr's counsel had made preparations to prove that he had disqualified himself by his own declarations. He should thank them to develop their objections.
Mr. Burr. I assure you sir, no preparation has been made. Set aside.
24. Overton Anderson had often expressed an opinion that colonel Burr's views were inimical to the United States; those opinions he had principally formed upon newspaper statements; he did not recollect that he had ever asserted him to be guilty of treason; but he had sometimes given credit to the representations which he had heard without particularly defining the degree of guilt in which they might involve the prisoner. Set aside.
25. Hugh Mercer upon being called said it was his duty to state, that an opinion which he had for some time past entertained of the character of col. Burr, was unfriendly to a strictly impartial enquiry into his case; that he was entirely uninformed as to the testimony which would be introduced, and that he did not recollect to have ever expressed a positive opinion either as to his guilt or innocence—Elected.
26. Yerman Baker had entertained opinions unfavorable to A. Burr, which he had repeatedly expressed; he had spoken them in warmth for it was his nature to be warm; He had no doubt that the prisoner had formed very unfavorable designs against the United States; but from his ignorance of the evidence he could not venture to say that they had ripened into an overt act, Mr. Burr. What opinion have you formed of me? A. A very bad one which I have often expressed when called upon and often when not. Set aside.
27. Edward Carrington had formed an unfavorable opinion of the views of col. Burr; but these opinions were not definitive: some had said that col. Burr's object was to invade the Spanish territories; others that it was to dismember the union—his own opinion had not been definitely fixed. There was another subject connected with the trial, on which he had also expressed his opinions; and that related to the measure taken at N. Orleans, his own opinion had been that it was impossible for any one at this remote scene to determine upon the state of affairs in that city—but that if general Wilkinson did seriously believe what he said had been represented to him as the views of colonel Burr, that he himself considered it as an extreme case, and that it was proper to act in somewhat the like form that general Wilkinson had pursued.—This has been the state of my mind for twelve months. Mr. Burr. Have you col. any prejudice of a more settled kind and ancient date against me? Col. C. None at all. Mr. Burr. He is elected.
The four jurymen that had been elected were then called to the book and sworn: viz. Messrs. Parker, Lambert, Mercer & Carrington.
When R. E. Parker was about to be sworn, he observed to the court, that some
gentlemen had just been rejected who appeared to him to be so similarly circumstanced with himself in regard to their feelings and opinions, that he had feared the court and Mr. Burr had not clearly understood his late declarations. It therefore was a duty he owed to colonel Burr and himself to state more particularly, before he was sworn, his sentiments and impression, lest he might have been misapprehended. He had said, and he would repeat it, that strong impressions unfavorable to col. Burr, had been and were still entertained by him. He had frequently in conversation declared, perhaps warmly declared, those impressions. It was true they had been made by newspaper evidence, since he had never heard a witness examined on the question; but that evidence had impressed him with the belief that colonel Burr had been engaged in enterprises contrary to the laws and to the interests of the U. S. He had, for example, read depositions which he believed to be true until the contrary was proven, although on that point he was open to correction. Concerning the doctrine of treason, moreover, he had formed no settled opinion. It was unnecessary to go further in detail, but was ready to answer any question colonel Burr or his counsel thought proper to ask. Col. Burr observed that from the gentleman's candid declaration he saw no reason to change his opinion of him. He was willing to rely upon his integrity and honor.
28. Robert Haskins had expressed an opinion that col. B. was guilty; but does not recollect to what extent he went. He might have said that he deserved to be hung. Set aside.
29. William R. Fleming had formed and frequently expressed an opinion that col. B. was guilty of treasonable intentions; and might have made a general declaration, not only as to intentions, but to acts. Set aside.
30. George W. Smith suggested a right to the same exemption, which had been granted to Mr. P. Randolph. The court said that this privilege would be incontestible, unless the prisoner should urge his conflicting privilege. Mr. Burr then requested Mr. Smith to attend to-morrow. Mr. Smith wished to be excused, as he had some important business in another court to attend to: He should however attend on the trial to-morrow; but it might now be proper to state the general impressions which he had received from these transactions. He had generally been solicitous to avoid an expression of his opinions; and as in such cases, where the government commences a prosecution against an individual, there is always a preponderance of prejudice against him; he himself had not only been solicitous not to declare, but even to form an opinion. No one can however avoid reading representations of things in the public papers; and he had formed and declared his impressions, that col. B. had entertained designs offensive to the peace and laws of the United States—What was the species of guilt, he had not pretended to define; but he had concluded from the newspaper reports and the testimony which he had heard in the other wing of the capitol; that his designs was of a military nature; and that they might amount to at least a misdemeanor. Suspended.
31. Armistead T. Mason had formed no deliberate opinion, in regard to the actual commission of treason. But it was his deliberate opinion, that col. B. had designed if not to subvert the government, at least to divide the country. Suspended.
32. Dabney Minor had often said that col. B's intentions were unfriendly to the United States, but had received no positive testimony. Some conversation here ensued between Mr. M. and Mr. Batts, when Mr. M. was suspended until to-morrow. Of the whole venire, then, that appeared, 4 only were elected and sworn; and 9 were suspended. The case of these last will probably be decided this day.
The court then decided, that there was no necessity for delivering the jurymen who had been or should be sworn into the custody of the marshal, until the whole number had been impaneled.
Adjourned till Tuesday, 11 o'clock.
TUESDAY, August 11.
The proceedings of this day were principally confined to the cases of the jurors, who were yesterday suspended for a subsequent examination.
The first case that was mentioned was Mr. G. W. Smith's. Mr. Burr observed that as some real or fictitious difficulty had occurred in the selection of jurymen, he should be extremely sorry that such as are impartial, should object to themselves Should Mr. Smith however raise such objections, he himself should certainly sub-
mit to the decision of the court, as he wished to stand in their eyes as perfectly passive.
Mr. Smith did not know whether he deserved such an encomium on his impartiality; but he was certain the arrangements of his legal business would not permit him to attend this trial with any convenience. He should therefore claim the privilege of exemption, to which in his opinion he was entitled as a practicing lawyer in that court.
Chief Justice. This privilege would certainly exempt Mr. Smith unless his attendance had been claimed by the prisoner.—As colonel Burr has waved the right, Mr. S. is certainly excused from attending.
The next case which occurred was Mr. James Henderson of Wood county, who had been absent on Monday. Mr. Batts challenged him for cause, and enquired whether he was a freeholder? Mr. H. I am not. He was consequently set aside.
Mr. Hamilton Morrison, one of the suspended jurymen being called up, observed to the court he should with pain serve on the jury; for the defendant had so many imaginary thoughts against him, as to make that service disagreeable. He had not meddled with the prisoner's transactions, but should have done so if it had been profitable to him.
Mr. Burr. Have not these rumors excited a prejudice against me in your mind? I have no prejudice for or against you.—Mr. Batts. Are you a freeholder? A. I have two patents for land. Q. Are you worth three hundred dollars? A. Yes; I have a horse here that is worth the half of it. Q. Have you another at home to make up the other half? A. Yes four of them. I am not astonished at their wishing to set me aside. Perhaps my christian name is a sufficient terror.
Mr. Burr. I think that remark is a sufficient cause for objecting to him. I therefore challenge you. This was the first peremptory challenge which the prisoner had made out of the 35 to which he is entitled; and Mr. Morrison was of course set aside.
Mr. Thomas Creel (another of the suspended venire from Wood county) was next set aside by the court.
John H. Upshaw was then called up; when the
Chief Justice wished to know whether Mr. U's impressions had related to treason, or to what circumstances? A. To the transactions in the western country. Q. Did your opinions amount to the charge of treason? A. My opinions have changed, as the lights of evidence seemed successively to rise upon me. It was my first impression, that col. B. had nothing more in view than the settlement of the Wabash lands. I next supposed, that it was his intention to conquer Mexico: and last of all, that his plans were of a more complicated nature; and that the taking of N. Orleans was to be a step toward the invasion of Mexico.
Mr. Wickham. Did you think, sir, as the result of all the considerations, that col. B. was a dangerous man? A. I did.
Mr. M. Rae. Have you formed or delivered an opinion, that he was guilty of the act charged in the indictment? A. No: I have neither formed nor delivered such an opinion.
Mr. Baker. Have you in your part of the country supported the ground that col. B. was guilty: and have you thus argued in conversation? A. Yes; I have so thought on the presumptive evidence that was before me; and I have not only supported such opinions; but have gone on to vindicate the energy of the measures that were taken by the government.
Mr. Burr. Enough, I think, has appeared to prove that Mr. Upshaw has taken up deep-rooted prejudices against me.
Mr. M. Rae. Have you any personal prejudices against the prisoner? A. None: I have no prejudices against him, but from his supposed designs against his country.
Mr. Burr. Had you not taken up some prejudices against me anterior to these rumoured transactions in the western country? A. I had formed impressions rather unfavorable to you, from your conduct during the pending presidential election of 1801; but I had no positive evidence on that subject. Here Mr. Upshaw was suspended; to make way for a general argument on the doctrine of challenges.
Mr. Martin rose to proceed with this argument: He stated, that it was one of the soundest principles of law, that every man had a right to be tried by an impartial jury; that this rule was as well applicable in civil as in criminal cases; but that in criminal cases, it had been particularly secured by the constitution.
Mr. M. Rae apologised for interrupting Mr. Martin; but begged leave to enquire whether it would not be a saving of time first to know the objections of all the jurors, and then to hold one general argument to settle the principles that would be applicable to all; instead of this holding an argument on each particular case, which might successively occur.
Mr. Martin. And does the gentleman, sir, pretend to dive into our hearts, as he thus understands whether we hold twelve separate arguments? He is, of economy of time. And is there a way to economize it? I had a specimen of this mode when I was here on a former occasion. Yes, sir, I well know these gentlemen would save our time. They would, if they could, deprive B's counsel of an opportunity of defending him; that they might as soon as possible hang up their victim to gratify the faction of the government.
Mr. M. Rae. That is a most unpleased and unfounded assertion: I say it to his face.
Mr. Burr. We have entered into this argument, because we thought it necessary to fix the principles on this subject at once; and then to apply these to particular cases.
Mr. Hay. It is our wish, sir, to pursue this enquiry as soon as possible, to save time: but, sir, it is impossible to hear such gross insults as have been cast upon us; insults which are offensive to humanity itself.
The Chief Justice had hoped that no such allusions would have been made: The government ought to be treated with respect.
Mr. Burr had hoped, when he was before, that he had made sufficient apologies, were any necessary, for any expressions which had been used; and that no allusions would be made to the subject. In his own person he had carefully avoided such language, though the prosecution certainly furnished him reasons for it; and when it had been used by his counsel, he had met his decided displeasure. He again repeated his hope that no allusion would be made to the past; he would answer for it that his own counsel should furnish no occasion for censure.
Mr. Martin declared that it was not his wish to hurt any one's feelings; but when he was so often interrupted and accused of a disposition to waste time, he could not repress them. As to the point before the court, what does the constitution most emphatically require? That the jury should be impartial; that they should have no impressions on their mind to the prejudice of the prisoner; but that they should come here to take all their impressions from the facts exhibited on evidence and upon oath. To this effect he would take the liberty of quoting Reeve's History of the English Law, vol. 1, p. 303, and vol. 2, p. 446, and Carey's English Liberties, p. 245, 248, 249, to prove the rigid degree of impartiality required by the laws of England. These authorities would show that a jurymen ought to be completely indifferent to either party; that he ought to have neither enmity nor friendship; and that even a particular familiarity and at the same table, was sufficient to disqualify him. But if a man was to be divorced of all affection and all relationship in a civil case, how much more should he be in that situation, in a case of life and death? It was one of the most sacred maxims of the law too, that every man was presumed to be innocent, until there was sufficient evidence produced to remove this presumption. Mr. M. did not understand this halving and quartering of prejudices. It was not sufficient that this man should have one fourth of the prepossession of that; or that he should be 3-5ths or 4-7ths less prejudiced than another, but the law requires that he should be wholly and perfectly impartial. The constitution forbids courts of justice ever forcing upon a criminal any juror that is not perfectly unbiased. Gentlemen may say, indeed, that we must either take such men or have no trial at all. But it was not so, he should contend that under the constitution a man should not be tried and hung, because a court could not get impartial jurymen to try him. The spirit of that instrument declares, that no man should be tried until he could be tried by an impartial jury. Mr. M. quoted 2 M'Nally, p. 667, to show, that a trial may be put off on an affidavit, if the public mind is so prejudiced by publications, as to exclude the chance of a fair trial. To the same effect also he cited the case of the King vs. the Dean of St. Asaph; and the case of Brooks and others, where the trial had been put off to another term, because an imperfect statement of part of the evidence had been given to the public; it

public, from which the jury was to be selected. What is the situation of juries in the present case? They are to determine upon the subject matter growing out of transactions in the western country. These gentlemen may say that they are satisfied of col. B's treasonable purpose. It would be enough if they had conceived that these purposes were dangerous, because it is the court which is to give a name to these crimes. Can then a man, whose mind is impressed with an opinion of certain practices dangerous to that union, be looked upon as an impartial juror? His mind is already half made up; and that half is perhaps the most material part. The acts themselves might be innocent if uncoupled with the intentions: 20 boats assembled at Blanchet's island, and their crews armed with rifles, are as harmless an apparatus, as if the men were going to shoot game; but it is the intention which stamps them with a different character. Men whose minds are made up as to the intentions, need only have proof of certain acts, and the business is done. The constitution and common sense both require that the jury should be as free from impressions as to designs as to overt acts. The principle is the same as in a case of burglary. It is to be lamented that the public mind is in the state, which gentlemen have described; but it is certainly not so to the extent which they have represented it. The 48 men who are on this panel are not an accurate specimen of the whole state. And who is it that commenced with these inflammatory publications? Was it col. B's counsel? No; it was the public papers under the patronage of the administration. And it was the gentleman on the other side who has contributed to keep up this spirit. It was his zeal; it was he who was supposed best acquainted with the evidence against him, that pronounced upon his guilt and prepossessed the public mind against him. No man can be looked upon as impartial who has been prejudiced by such publications. (To be continued.)
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. WEDNESDAY, August 19.
Private letters from Liverpool, of so late a date as June 24th, are silent on the subject of a rupture between the U. States and Great Britain; and, far from expressing any apprehensions of such an event, they state that the shipments of the present season to this country, would be quite as great as heretofore. Jackson.
Communicated for the Phil. Gazette. From LIVERPOOL, June 23. "We refer to our Price Current of the 5th inst. since when, excepting the surrender of Dauphin to the French, no continental intelligence of moment has been received.
"In the last 10 days about 18,000 bales of cotton wool have arrived, and not more than 1400 been sold. The buyers thinking that the heavy import may depress the market, & desirous to see of what they consist, decline purchasing at present. Several large parcels of inferior upland are offered at 15d. whilst good and prime command 18d. a 19d per lb. Inferior New Orleans, of which the stock is increasing, offers at 18d. whilst fine brings 20d per lb. The importations of Sea Island prove too great for the demand, and fine was yesterday sold at 2s. 3d per lb. Bourbons are unsaleable.
"The importations of grain and flour from America in the last 10 days have been very great, and further considerable supplies are known to be on the way. Owing to this the demand is suspended. Yesterday 1500 barrels of good Philadelphia flour were ineffectually offered at 38s. 6d. At 38s. possibly the dealers and speculators might be induced to purchase, and much lower than that we do not expect the prices will be reduced. Good New York wheat is this day offered at 10s. 6d per 70 lb. and if nothing should shortly occur to improve the prospects, it appears probable that considerable sales will be made at, or probably a little under, that price, as for different reasons many holders are disposed to sell. Upwards of 20,000 bushels have arrived from France, and more is expected. On the 11th inst. the London market improved, in consequence of its being surmised that the crops had been injured by the late heavy rains. These were felt here, but as the weather is again favorable, it is not probable that this market will be influenced by the same cause. We conceive that any material advance in the prices of grain and flour can alone be produced by unseasonable weather, and therefore view it as very uncertain.
"The export demand for rice having subsided prices have given way, and may be quoted at 25s. a 26s. per cwt. The excessive rains of Tuesday night and Wednesday last, produced a greater fresh in the Rappahannock than has been known for more than twenty years; and we fear the destruction occasioned thereby, in the upper country, is great indeed. In this town and neighborhood, several individuals have been severe sufferers, particularly Mr. Robert Dunbar, in the loss of his valuable bridge at Falmouth, the wood work of which was entirely swept away by the destructive torrent; together with the almost entire demolition of the extensive canal which conveyed the water to the mills of Mr. Durbar and Mr. Richards. The canal on this side the river, which conveyed the water to the mill of Messrs. Cooch and Hollingsworth, was greatly injured, and the wood work at the head destroyed. The house on Johnson & Young's wharf, occupied by Mr. Donaldson, and another occupied by Mr. MacWilliams have been carried off. A small vessel loaded with oyster shells, broke her fasts and was dashed to pieces against Gaff's wharf—several other small vessels parted their cables and have gone down with the current. The meadows of Messrs. Williams, Minor, Mortimer, Lewis, &c. were entirely overflowed, and great losses sustained in hay, corn, &c.
The water still continued to rise at ten o'clock last night. Two northern mails and one southern are now due. [Fredericksburg paper, Aug. 12.]
General Bowles. We have in our possession an account of the life of the celebrated W. A. Bowles, from his first entering the Creek nation, until a short time previous to his seizure, and being delivered up to the Spaniards; written by one of his companions, who is now engaged in finishing the narrative. As conspiracies and treason at present agitate the mind of the American people, this work,
which fully develops the views of Bowles, as well as the Spanish agents, will be read with no inconsiderable interest. When the work is ready for the press it will be announced.
[Orleans Gazette.] From CANADA. The Canadian papers have repeated most of the articles which have appeared in the American gazettes respecting the late outrage on the frigate Chesapeake . As we know there is a mutual curiosity to learn what is said by each party, we have extracted the following from the Quebec Mercury . [Boston Palladium.]
QUEBEC, July 20. If, in doing herself justice, greater liberties be taken by Great Britain, with American vessels than with the ships of other nations, it is easily to be accounted for, there not being the same danger of our seamen engaging with other nations as with the United States , between whom and Great Britain there is a similarity of language and manners. This may be considered as a particular unforeseen case, to which, especially in these times, general theoretic principles ought to bend.
In this paper will be seen observations of an Albany editor on a laughable paragraph respecting the Driver , published in one of our numbers. It is necessary now to remind Americans of the gross abuse of our king, government, and people, with which many of their papers are daily filled!
The Americans plume themselves much on their importance, from the supposition that our West India islands and shipping depend on them for supplies; but if full advantage be made, of which there is every prospect, of the benefits offered by our acquisition on the River Plate, we may very well do without the states for the articles of provisions. The resources of the La Plata, for cattle, are immense. Our people have but to kill and salt. It is said that contracts are already entered into for the purpose.
We hope and trust that all differences will be amicably adjusted. The times require large allowances from neutrals, for the conduct of Great Britain, when engaged in so arduous a contest, with a power whom no consideration can stop in its progress to aggrandizement and universal sway, particularly when it is considered that those neutrals are immense gainers by the contest.
We copy the following article from the London Times of the 22d June—the coincidence of its date with the attack on the Chesapeake , will be noticed. Phil. Reg.
"In consequence of the apprehension of hostilities with the U. States, several American vessels are now detained by the owners of the cargoes. On Saturday an order was sent to the custom-house, requiring immediate return of the amount of the exports and imports relating to America."
LONDON, June 23. We have been credibly informed, that a clause in the treaty now pending between this country and America actually stipulates that English agents shall be stationed in the American ports, to see and grant certificates, that all colonial produce bound for Europe, has been unshipped and reladen in such ports—We are afraid that a clause, so favorable to the British shipping interest, can never be rendered payable to the Americans. [Times.]
Specimen of the marvellous. —The following anecdote of the magnanimous conduct of an Irish Soldier, was related by Gen [then Major] Doyle, in the house of commons, on his production of a bill to improve the establishment in Ireland for worn-out soldiers, on a plan similar to Chelsea Hospital.
When Lord Rawdon was in South-Carolina, he had to send an express, of great importance, through a country filled with the enemy. A Corporal of the 17th Dragoons, of known courage and intelligence, was selected to escort it. They had not proceeded far, when they were fired upon, the Express killed, and the Corporal wounded in his side; he snatched the Dispatch from the dying man and rode on, till, from the loss of blood, he fell—when, fearing, the Dispatch would be taken by the enemy, he thrust it into the wound till it closed upon it.
He was found the next day by a British patrol, with a benignant smile of conscious virtue on his countenance, with life sufficient to point to the fatal depository of his secret. In searching the wound was found the cause of his death, for the surgeon declared it was not in itself mortal, but rendered so by the irritation of the paper.
Thus fell the Patriot Soldier; "Cut off from Glory's race, Which never mortal was more fond to run." "Unheard he fell."
In rank a corporal, he was in mind a Hero—his name OLAVARY—his country IRELAND—Down was his county—his Religion Catholic.
