IT is surprising with what facility
tie mind of man adopts the habits and
opinions Of those with whom he thinks
and acts, and how readily those opinions
are changed with 4 change of situation
and circumstances. Whoever takes a
dispassionate review of the conduct OF
political partizans, in this country, for
ten years past, will be astonished to find
now much fergiversation may be Justly
charged upon each. Did not the fact
stare us directly in the face, it would
seem Incredible that men of understand
mg and apparent integrity, would at
different times, within SO short period,
advocate principles and opinions DIRECT
~ opposite and contradictory.

When this o2iriun WAS delivered, Mr..
Hav proc, ed.d in the examination Of
witnesses; but finding that he could not
bring theca"e within the principles laid
down by the court, he proposed to enter
anil tr2seqHa. Burr objected to this,
and the court decided that it could not
be done, after the jury was 'impanelrd,
without consent. The jury then retired,
and returned a verdict Of not guilty.
Mr.. Hay then moved the court to
comlnit Burr, Blenncrhassct, and Israel
Smith, to Kentucky, or the Mississippi
tnitorv, to be there tlicd for treason.
The counsel for Burr objected to this
notion, and commended that he could not
. be tried for treason in the Mississippi
territory. They also contcnded, that as
he had been once tried for treason and
acquitted, he could not be again tried
for the same offence. A discussion en-
sued on these points, which lastc two
days when the court decided that the
court OF the Mississippi territory could
nottake cognizanceo Of treason ;of course
denomination could take place of what
had been done there that as to the o.
Peration of the previous acquittal, the
Judgment of the court was not formed

that the AurorA, aNd the Republicans of
Pennsylvania, arc equally Inconsistent
that in 17o3 they pursued that very
course, which they now proclaim can be-
pursued by none but British Agents and
I0rics.
The following paragraph is extracted
from the Aurora of the I'd April, 1893.
1t is a specimen of the opinions advan-
ced In that paper, 1t that time, on the
subject of war. The insinuation RESPECT
ing the suAasn .slorics Of Pu,maSters,
Agents, Contractors and Commissioners,
shows the manner in which it was then
thought proper to prejudice the public
mind on the subject Of money expendi-
lures, IN order to undermine their con-
hdencc in the Administrations
What are the advantages to be re-
'ceived by the United States, if they en-
gag in a zUarjure zvith q maritime na-
'Hon2 Nothing but an increase ofdc5t;
and the few individuals who are bene-
htted, are not supposed to have the
'clearest right to their advantages. If
he that shared the danger, enjoyed the
profit; If he that bled in the battle,
grew rich by the victory he might
shcw his gains without envy. But at
the conclusion of long war, how are
we compensated for the death of null
titudes, and expense of millions, but
by contemplating the sadiarn .glaries of
.Paylnasters and Agents, Contractors
and Commissioners, whose equipages
shine like meteors, and whose palaces
Else like exhalations.n
Here war IS considered as a mere
matter of profit and loss. Who gains and
who loses, is the subject discussed by
the Aurora. National character and ma
tional honour is not taken into the ac-
count. But what says the Aurora now?
8 Is war matter of book entry, o. debt
and credit, that must be courted If we
can make any thing by it, and Stunned
: IT we are likely to loser (Aurora 9th
Augusta War is surely the same now,
that it was in 1893. If it was then "a
matter Of 60ok entry, ofdebt and credit
1t Is the same now. Ii it ought then to
be avoided, because in warfare with
a maritime nation we could gain no
Thing but an increase Of de6t,' it ought
for the same reason to be avoided now.
