strucs with the great similarity between the
general manner Of these two letters. The
same profession of concern-:he same aGec-

IN the Western Spy Of Oct. 2lst. the Same
wrlter resumed the subject with equal spirit;
ohd tho 'ilst nuInbef Oh IL series headch 'Icoge-

! Lh!s writer reviewed and exposed the false
reazonn,5 0nd detestable principles of the
"Qucrist." In fire irS1 number he held This
iatiguaMr:
sin the rll;ist Of or '.ap pfnoss, in these
days OF innovation, CERTAIN men have been
hoid enough to tcllus VIC arc miserable and
oppressed prnpe; that our eGstern brethren
lord il over us, aud that oar PRESENT enviable
situation islitle better than when we were CO.
lonies under the iron sccptrc of Great Britain.
But the cnnspirators against the liberty and
happiness of the American People do not
stop here With a boldnesS worthy Of bet
ter cause they aShrt our happiness cunnot
be completed, till dismcmbcrmcnt Of tho
Union takes p!acr, and two distinct govern

deceived themselves most cgregiollsly, as to
tliG feeling OF the western people, towards
the National Government. On the 5th OF
Noy. Col. J. II. Davies, then the U. S. Dis
trlct Attorney for Kentucky, made, III open
court, formal accusation against Burr, who
was then In Frankfort From the 9Th to the
18th there WIS abundant time for the infor

TO NASHVILLE, and it is not 10 be doubted, thai
Burr kept his colleagues we'll informed o
what was said and acted, i'll relation TO him

a motive that might very naturally oyUrats
upon Jackson, and induce him to take steps

coniederatcy; and hence HIS glnpowdcr-plo

The advocates Of Gen. J. have the foil,
