CASE OF COL. BURR.

4 grand Jury of the fate of New Jerfey hay-
ing Preiented bill of indictment ecr murder A.
CAN'T this gentleman, it has become an interee.
ing qneition whether the crime of which he has
neen guilty is really murder in legal fgnification.
Ry the common law, if the Aroke of which, one
dies lie given in one country and he die in ,no~
ther, 1t is not mnrderin either. The cafe being
MUCH itronger between different Gates, it is fnp,
Poied that as Gen. Hamilton died in New-York
and not in New-Jerfey, Col. Burr cannot be
guilty OF murder. But the fa6t is otherwife
tor 6y particular ftatute of the nate of New
Jertey, if the ftroke be given in New-Jerfey and
the death enfues in another Fate, it is 0ar..ey.
NO doubt therefore remains Of the nature of
Inc crime, and that the grand jury has been cor

The following message signed by the
Speaker of the House Of Representatives
respecting the resolution transmitted from
the executive of Massachusetts was by a
committee Of the House, chosen for that
purpose, delivered TO the governor.
Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1804-12-05

| sir,
The resolutions, transmitted bv The
/ governor of Massachusetts, and which &C.
companied your message o7October 18th,
1904, have received from this house that
consideration which the importance OF
the subject required. We do not consi
der the provisions of the present cons,i,u-
non so unequal as supposed by said reso
iu,ions, nor do we consider those provisi-
ons To have been rendered more injurious
by any political changes introduced dur
ing The present administration. The 81
mendment proposed, as we conceive,
would materially affect part of the federal
constitution, which was in laGl the result
OF spirit oil compromise, and which qua
rantees 10 some of the states in the union
right which to them is sacred-a right
IN consideration of which material bene.
hts are secured to US; for aIlho' the du-
lies aiislng nom imposts are sufficient to
meet the exigencies of government while
we ENJOY the calm SUNSHINE of peace, set
should the United States at any time be
involved IN war, (Which is no uncommon
ta'e OF nations) very importaul would be
| the power and very necessary the use Of
direct taxation: and in such an event we
should highly appreciate The mode of APP
, portloning the expenses among the seve-
raj states established by our present con-
stitu'ion.-Again. We apprehend that the
amendment proposed would have a ten
dency 10 destroy rather than confirm that
union among the several states so essential
to our national prosperity. therefore
| cannot recommend the measures propos-
ed by the said resolutions"
In the above sentiments of their repre-
| senlatives the fieemen of Vermont NAV
learn in what estimation 10 hold those
disorganising resolutions by which it vas
attempted to change the rule Of repre.en-
tatlon and 10 destroy radical feature Of
the constitution. They may see in their
true light the prelensions Of those " OK.
elusive friends of order," those lovers of
good government" who would mask their
reasonable plots with the stolen name Of
Washington, and who, with their loss of
power, have lost all venerdtion for the
grand instrument Of our federal compact.

The happy days, which we have expe-
rienced under the constitution of the u
nited States, have scarcely offered, since
It's adoption, two important occasions, of
calling forth the abilities of Congress.
The question Of the Judiciary gave rise to
the most spirited and we'll contested de-
bate which was ever Witnessed in deli
berative assembly ; while the dignity and
moderation with which il was conducted,
proved The cmhire Of reason oVer faSsioH e.
herSonaEfg. Had such question, ques-
ton W hich called forth the whole force OF po.
litical feeling in every individual Of the le-
gislature, been agitsted in the House Of
Commons, you might have heard Mr.. Fox
pant across the Thames Mr.. Pitt would
have forgotten his usual senatorial digni-
tv; Dr.. Laurence would have frothed at
the mouth; Mr.. Windham, forgetting
the point in question would have hurled
