| The plain duplication Is, that Mr. JEFF
icrson dad By proclamaticn pronounce the
guilt 1T a. Burr To be proved beyond /, doubt.
And yet not word TO TINS eject is to be
fouEd in any proclamation issued by the
executive indeed SO far as our recolecti-
on serves US, the name of Aaron Burr is not
even mentioned IN the proclamation. This
last circumstance may possibly be other
wise but we think not.
The fact is, that white the western ex-
pedition was disclosing itself, the federal
lists were loud in their calls for informati-
on. The president was charged with trea-
! cherry for hissilence. His energy was doubt
ed: an alarm was sounded; vigorous mea-
sures were called for. During this time
the friends of the administration retained
their confidence in them, they inculcated the
prop ieIy OF temperance in the public mind;
tfey had no doubt but that the government
was pursuing the best measures for the
pubic safety, and they realised the great
advantages that might flow from the secreA
cy with which 1T conducted its operations:
But the public solicitude reached the de-
liberations Of congress and the House of
Representatives called for information. In
formation thus called for, was given, and
then, and not til then did the President
make that disclosure, which is now term
ed persecution, in which disclosure he gave
his opinion of the guilt of Aaron Burr
what since has occurred in relation to this
man! He has been arrested, and brought
before public tribunal. Is this persecu&
ton He has had all the benefits of full
ana tair trial. IS thi persecution! The
government, at great eXpenSt, has brought
forward a croud of witnesses, and ne has
done the samc-and the simple enquiry
that has been SO long depending before the
circuit court is, whether all the informati=
on possessed by these witnesses, on one side
as well as the other, shall come out. Is
this persecution isit persecution on the
part ofthe government, to offer 10 open the
