They were both killed to end their suffer-

The Louisville Focus republishes the let
ter OF introduction to Gen. Wilkinson which
Aaron Burr gave to Samuel Swartwout, as
well as the letter written by Burr in cypher,
which Swartwout " SEipt" into the hands of
Gen. Wilkinson, at the time when he de]iv-
cred his Introductory letter. The letter in
cypher ran thus:
1.-The Gods invite'to glory and fortune Il
it remains to be seen whether we deserve
the boon, the bearer of this goes express to
you; he will hand formal letter of intro
duction to you from Burr; lie is a man Of
inviolable honor and perfect discretion
formed to execute rather than project; ca
pable of relating facts with fidelity, and in
capable of relating them otherwise he is
thoroughly informed of the plans and inten-
tons of land will
disclose to you as far as you inquire, and no
farther he has imbbed reverence for
your character, and may he embarrassed in
your presence put him at ease, and he will
satisfy you. 29tn July"
The Focus also publishes the result of
the subsequent examination of Swartwout
by Gen. Wilkinson, in order to make him
self acquainted with Burr's plans. After
this calculation of the character Of Samuel
Swartwout, the Focus asks
"Why has President Jackson given him
an Office worth $4,000 year ?-[ Collector
of New York. Was it to bride him to dis
close the whole particulars of the Burr plot,
whereby JacksoR's innocence could be fully
established Or, acaS it giren for other,
and opposite purposes.
The New York Enquirer states that
there were upwards of fifteen hundred APP
plicants for office to the Collector of New
York. 1t follows then that President Jack
son has made in New York city one firm
friend, Mr.. SWartwout, the companion of
Burr, and has fourteen hundred and ninety
nine luke-warm friends left (may we not
say enemies y President Jackson's reward

the end. Every clamorous jackson man
who has not been paid for his vote will turn
his coat just as soon as he can venture to
do it without drawing too hard uPVn his

lnere an honest Jackson man who will not
leave them when he sees the inconsistency
and tyranny of the course the Hero is pur-
suing ?-Portlamd Gazette.
The prejudice in reference to American
Manufactures, are truly surprising. The

CRtE1 AND UNNATURAL. A man and
his wife, lately from Europe, resident near
the Little Basin, were yesterday committed
to Jail, on charge of having attempted to
take the life of their son, young lad, by
hanging him. 1t appears that the mother
the father remaining passively by) placed
a rope round the neck of the boy and drew
it so tight, by suspending him in the air,
that he became black in the face, and it is
apprehended that she would have kept him
in that situation, till life departed, if some
persons who happened to come in, had not
I interfered. On their demonstrating, she
said it was no ones business; that he was
her own child, and she had right to kill
him if she pleased The reason she gave
for the act was, that he had some money
which belonged to her, which he would not
give up.-.4ibany .advertiser.
