The TRAITORS thus designated: thus

were conveyed decentlv, amidst the ste

We are told Of an extraordinary pheno-

hoisted to the "fatal tree" when his whole

Astor Bulderhasset- fGdie "mock'd

scene upon man of weak nerves
a spectator has promised to furnish us
with the two dying speeches of the two
" master-spirits ;" taken in short hand, at
the foot of the gaiiows. TIL we ret them,
We must torbear TO give much more of
proceedings of that epentJM day. Event

flames, the hatred oftreason, which the peo-

Ours is not the drunken triumph of
moo0ish rabbie. 1t is the heart-consoling
iehcltation or ireemen, who thus brand with
3HaeH6te nfamy, traitors to their country
and the 6efrayer of the laws, the perverter
OF reason. To this end, was the zuhoke &C.
remony directed---to obtain enquiry by the
constituted authorities of the government
into JUDICIAL DIsAFFEcrIoN and pro-
cure the NECESSARY publication of that
.dHSea" Sra6ie. That such glorious end
may be the result is the unanimous prayer
OF every honest citizen of these states.
We have not time no7v to notice the ca
lHmnieS and uyounded -;ear8 which circu-
lated sol freely yesterday-amongt the friends
OF Burr. The snake is now "scotch'd''-
"and even scorched, that it can do no
"zvrong"
In truth we ought to ask pardon of our
readers for this lame sketch of a creat tri-
umPh. We felt all the difficulty Of Sir
Callahan O'BrailaSban, vixen he was ask
ed TO describe a battle. He very properly
observed, that so much was doing every
where, that there was no telling what was
done any where. The subject, we confess,
puzzles US by it's extent aud Importance.
We shall touch it again.
