We have examined, eurior;!y, the pam.
pile, entitled, "A.View of the political
conduit Of Aaron Burr, &C." recently
publiihed in New York. Il is a complete
picture of Jacobin article and intrigue,
and though the author has bent his bow,
with an aim towards Mr.. Barr aud his
immediate Importers, yet the lhast has
flown, AID tie whole Z" fet," ar: but as
f,qekes 4rer. The View dclcribes the
characters who cotnpofe Mr.. Bars {" IL

This pamphlet, which, if we insight
hazard conjecture, we ll.ould fuppote
was the joint production Of Cheetham,
De Witt Clinton, and Tunis Workman,
has detailed more Of the hiGory Of ;4co.
binifn, in this country, than any o'h'r
work we have lc'n. 1t nhcws US how th>
democrats labor, how they intrigue, what
iout!e faces thcy wear, what vile ends
they aim at, and what infamous means
they u!e to obtain item. 1t ihews US,
moreover, that they have no confidence In
each other, that they de!vrve 20 have
none and the honea pa:t OF the comma
nifty, it is hoped, will fee thar they are
| wholly ur'eierying OF all honorable ccr-
| 1!ence. 1t will furnilh US mater for a.
bundant comment hereafter.
We cannot fail ton)tic-, however tia.
,hereis fome ta'fhood and fone folly IN
| the publication. l, af>r:bes Drsiles o.
Mr.. Burr to the federal papers, which
W re never utter ard aaarJs that the
United States Gazette ar particular
junaoIe th!f,ed its caurfe, and /" fudicn;y
appeared as his warmea panegysi!f. p
The ia6t is that a. vrai!e bcac"ei by tbs
gazette upon Mr.. Brrr was comparative.
We were free to ifa!e the iurc!ior;ty o.
his pre,enGans to the proficiency over thoie
of Mr.. Jef:sfon. We knew him to De an
ah!er man, We thought him to be better
man. Upon thu approximations of Cal
lender of the one, and thofe Of Chec,hsni
and CO. Of the other, we mutt llll think,
that there is a choice remaining in favor
of Mr.. Burr. We. have ieen TO a6t Of MIR.
Burr diiplayed which can be brought down
to lowly and degraded companion with
a mean, grovel;rg, ard naligna0t purchaie
of Ea!f:hood and Gander.
The view further Aates, that the
Bottom Centine! preferred Mr.. Barr, be-
claie tie edi'os thought his character lonc-
what like thas of B0nabarte :" & hasthe
weakness to adduce the following ientence
from the Centinel TO prove the aaer,ion.
OF is granted he is ombiti91, bxt be is
not a hybse,ite; and it0ugb be is Ike Dan
apa,.e III /oms rslpeas, be bsDzi maze efths
rola bea,tea qualities Of the Gallo eorsai."
II the man had common acutenefs, he
would perceive, that preference is given to
MIR. Burr, becauic his character is as!Ae
that Of Bonapar;e-" he poaei1es none Of
the cold hearted qualities Of the Gallo
!conful."
