The vote 'or Convention indicated his strength a.
opposed 10 Jackson's, we have never seen the most re-
mote in'inaun Of such thing. Ia short the Who'll,
idea is the Creature OF Mr. Logans fancy and though
dreams, yet we have certainly tight to ropei their ap.
pica;on 10 ourselves, and To- the powerful and ,es
pectable party with whom we have On this occasion,
the honor of acting. Let hun dream as much as ne
peases but be has no right TO dream such unjust
creams and then Involve whole class OF society in
their consequences.
Jccf'son and Burr.-The Charlottesville Advocate
processes to baVe evidence TO the pontn excuipa
OF Cen jackson, from the charge % criminal intna
cy wild Burr. We shall be glad to see this par,i-
zans would scarcely hail mis- dehvcfance from that ac
cusation, unainted and unsuspected with more sa;s
faction than should, though from different notices
Sut If this evidence s really in esse why is il no, tor,h
coming The charge has been made and sustained
oy circumstances SO pregnant, that without counter.
Va'ng proof, they cannot fail 20 make strong i'm
prcsson 1t is not denied, that Gen. .yackson,s re-
sidenee, was Burr's head quarters in the western
country 1t is not denied. that his letter 10 Governor
Claiborne, written two months before Burr's arrival at
the Hermitage displayed an intimate knowledge OF
tue conspiracy. 1t is not denied. ihs, after he had
written ,ha letter, in which terms SO strong though
mysterious, he puts Claiborne on he guard, and de-
nounces the consprato, he received and entertained
huFr al MS house, and forced him into the Bali Room
at Nashville In opposition 60 the isles Of The mana
gers and the company, and at the swords point as II
were. Now why does not the Advocate or some %
'ts Affiliate ed BRETHREN attempt to account for and re
concile these suspicious and inconsistent circumstan
ces How Came Gen jackson possessed OF that
knowledge OF the conspiracy, which he impaired 10
GOV CIaibo!ne' How came he, after his own letter
thus PLAINLY established his acquaintance with Burr,
T@rICaS designs, to receive and entertain him for
weeks, at his own house? How came ne after his a.
vowed knowledge of the conspiracy, to associate so
intimately with him who was its head and front its
1aune; and not only that but TO compel others to as
sociae with him against their wishes: The Advocate
may have tire ingenuity to eucidae these dark and 20
u.s. inscrnta6Ie facts, in way excupaory OF Genera!
Jackson-but we not only acknowledge our own in
competency to explain and reconcile them but even 10
imagine any state of evidence that can 1t will not do
10 say, that excu!patory evidence is sed--tbe
public curiosity is reused and that evidence must he
exhibited There is but one mode Tor bringing Gen.
Jackson of--to acknowledge his participation witt,
Burr, but charge that this parfic paon extended no
farther than the invasion of Mexico. THIS mode we
predict, will he adopted, and when il is, we shall call
upon his partizans TO reconcile this with the SEMI
mens of bis letter TO Claiborne, and to say if The n
authorised invasion of Mexico would not have been an
act to subject those engaged in ii, to the seyeresr
Punishments, instead of 10 the highest rewards
We take no pleasure in abiding 10 this subjective
should find none in convclins Cen Jackson of the
charge That he was ParticePs crimiois with Burr
we believe regiousiy, not only upon the circumsan-
hal evidence already related, but upon positive evi
dence which has not yet been made public. Mean
while, as the enqu has been started, we shall moi
to urge on 10 The of our ability-and we
advise his parzaDs to meet the investigation promptly
and dIspassionately.
