Mr.. Hay had % doubt that the gcnfIe
man would, If he coold, suppress al The
Evidence; although shas &c tiemsn had
been SO good as 10 prescribe tor hiaa the

sucha separation OF the evidence as that
geasleman required that he should lay all

How then is ii possible 10 separate these

"A. Burr's obirc. was to plant his standards
Sin Mexico. he was first 10 haye seized the
sh,ppieg aud banks of New Orleans. We
ask then, how can we separate line by line,
and word by word, the evidence prodaced
20 prove these two distinct allegations.
The designs are connected; and the es,-
dence is connected.

prevailed in cur country; instead OF 40
