II is impossible, in the limits of a short
sketch, to furnish an adequate idea of this
long speech Of three DAVIS continuance. 1t
consisted chiefly, however, of reading and
commenting upon the volunninnus evidence
already published from all which he en-
deavoured 10 shew that his friend Col. Burr
was perfectly innocent of any reasonable
design thar his only object was to settle
the WaShita lands and that he intended to
attack the Spanish territories, only in case
OF a war between the y. States and Spain.

ridiculed this expression, declaring its
proper construction to be that the Allega-
NY Mountains were to act on behalf of col.
Burr, and that, by their means, he was
to sever the union ; if which, said he,
"could have been the case if those
Mountains would indeed have raised them
