| GEN. JACKSON & COZ. AARON BURR.
Every body has beard OF Col Aaron
Burr, the daring conspirator who once
aimed at the subversion of our republic.
Every one knows that he was guilty of
the charges alleged against him BY bis
country. But every body does not
know that General jackson. whom his
partizans are now endeavouring to the
presidential chair, was, while that con
spiracy was 7arryiug on, the friend and
associate of Burr That while all good
men and true patriots were in state OF

while every effort was making 10 ap.

under the shades of the Hermitage,

OF our now would be president The
following extract from the Tennessee
Gazette, taken therefrom into the
Richmond Enquirer of the 2oth Janua-
ry, 1907, Ia paper Published then, as
now by Thomas Richie will serve TO
demonstrate as well the relation in
which Col. Burr stood to Gen. jackson,
as the relation in which he stood to
the country

from this town; and has been in this

Thus it seems that while Col. Burr
appears to be preparing for some
movement" and while the people Of
Tennessee were every day expecting
him to attempt some "hostile move.

house bis stopping place. and thence
visits Nashville Was jackson a part.
ner in Burr's conspiracy We DO not
say THAT. But that he was a FRIEND TO
the traitor, let his conduct in Richmond
show, were, during Burr's trial, every
body knows the efforts jackson made to
shield him from conviction, and throw
ALL the guilt from the shoulders of Burr
on those of Gen. Wilkinson.
These things are suspicious at least.
