TO suppose any reasonable connection between
Gen. Jackson and Col. Burr after reading ttis tes
tmony, we must either believe that these veter.
ans who had shed their blood for their country's
independence, were, themselves, connected with
Burr, and Published this address to conceal their
treason, or that they inetfably stuppid,h
AZ to place themselves anJer the command OF one
Of whose fidelity and patriotism they were not
well assured. But, admitting the patriotism OF
these revolutionary heroes, how can we reconcile
the sappositon of Cen .fackson's treason with his
answer to their address Here il is. Let the CON
ident read it and rejoice; let the doubtful read it
and be convinced.
