CEN JACKSON AND AARON BURR.


Iupe l4,b, we took occasion to introduce Gen.
Jackson as connected with Aaron Burr IN the
Conspiracy in which the latter was considered
the abead and front" We refer our readers
for the present 10 our remarks under the Gate
which we had mentioned, while we proceed TO
more important details. IL will be seen by the
documents subioined that Gen. Jackson was
most positively engaged with Col. Burr. by
the sfidavit of Gen Coffee many persons VIII be
induced to suppose, and particularly the vio-
len, par,isans Of Gen. JAG kson Will insis' 'hal
he was no. a, the time assisting Col Burr, that
he had no designs inimical TO the government
If his country. But il must be recoected lhaI
Gen. Jackson was a man sufficiently advanced
in wears not 10 be duped by a pretended tale
that Col. Burr was acting under the autho rl'y
of The government. The people OF Mississippi
must, in connection with all the circumstances
relating 10 the reasonable proJecisoi Burr, iooS
not only to the character OF the principai, ou'
10 that Of this agent, Gen Jackson. bo'h p
bilious men, both by nature and eircun's'aIe
military in their nature and habits. lhey must
also look TO the peaceful character OF inc ~
merican people, and the pacihc poiicy OF Tue
Government, and that men like Burr and JACK
son wonld be restless under such state oil at
fairs, and long for sumo opportunity to lay a"
side ",he dull pursuits of civil life" and EN-
bark in projects more fitted 10 their military
disposi,ions and aspiring propensties
We do not purpose in our paper oito.day TO
ON in,o particulars on this subject. We feel
Confident that we shall in very short time
have j, in our power to satisfy the American
people, tha, G,n Jackson was positively con
nected with Col. Burr in promoting schemes
hazardous 10 the nsacc and safety OF me u D
and with view 10 his own ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Unjust be remarked that Aaron Burr spent
near two weeks at Gen. Jacksons, not only al
ter rumours had reached Tennessee that MS
designs were inimical 10 the government Out
month af er PresiG, Mt Jefferson had issued his
proclamation, apprising the people oil The on,
ion that their peace was endangered; ana more
than a n,onlh after Burr had been accused al
Frankfort in open Court by Col. JOS H. DAVIS
The Unired States District Attorney Tor hen-
lucky. Fellow Citizens OF Mississippi, meal-
tate on these circumstances before you do any
act tina, NAV tend directly or inolrecuy 10 pro-
mote Gen. Jackson's election.
The following documents have Seen trans
cribed from the records Of the Circuit Court OF
this State, which not having been referred TO
for manv wears, had nearly been forgotten by
those who were acquainted with the circum-
stances which they set forth.
