Atarallsl, drawn from Antiquify


1t is melancholy but memorable fact, that
the man who is now attempting TO difurb the
rcpofe of the American people the man, who
whatever his fhfts or dolitiings my be, now
haDds confefied as 4 public confpirator has
his mott friking prototype in one Of the WORT
characters Of antiquity. Thofe who were once
attached TO the cauie Of Aaron Burr; thofe who
were once fafcnated by tbe deceptive fuavity
of his manners, or admired the integrity of his
principles; may f1rtle at the irvidious compa-
riion but neither friendfllp rnr enrIi.y can
deftroy the analogies of nature. Let the rea.
der contemplate the character, the plots and
the means of Catalina aud he will behold Fl.
Multitude of Aaron Burr, which will excite his
aitonihmeDt. He will be almoR iuvountaiilv
prompted 70 inquire, whether willy confpira-
tor is marked in all countries by the fame de-
teRabe features or whether Aaron Burr has
not in fact pored over the pages of Sauf, to
make Catal,ne his model. The parallel is 4
mot curious and ftriking one it is certainly
little 10 the honor of Col. Burr, that it is 10 be
traced through fuch variety of points but
when man once plots againt the peace of his
country, his 10 the fault and his fhould be the pu
niament. it is we, who only difcover the A.
nalogy: 1t is Aaron Burr himfelf who makes
it.
We fhall pats over the congenial frailties of
their private life 1T is enough that we exam
inc thoie qualities, which fit them for their vo-
catiou.
The fpirit of Catalina was " daring, in6dious
and fhifting - " expert in fcsnrg what he
did not rnenn, and in dGcmblirg every thing
that he intended. such is Aaron Burr. no
man more daring in his deligns none more wi
Iy III his eXpedicnts. Such was his charaGterilic
caution, that he fcarcely ever committed his de-
iigns ui.on paper and the grclteR and mon
aHoniG'iug ove''isht in his prelcnt plans, Is his
deviation from this ufnnl irudtn, :.
