~ Jno. F. H. Claiborne, editor of the Natchez
Free Trader, and formerly Representative in Con-
gress, states that he has in his possession, which will
shortly be published package Of the private papers
of Aaron Burr, which were deposited with Col. Os-
nun, for safe keeping, few days before Burr's ar
rest. These papers, he s-ys, exposes the whole Of
Burr's schemes, which have so long been enveloped
in mystery revealing that which his trial failed tods
close He says, also, they will establish beyond the
shadow of a doubt, that if former Vice President
had for his coadutors some of the most distinguish
ed men of the nation. We shall look with no little
anxiety for their contents.

the proceeding Admit the fact that he was led into

worthy ofthe pardoning power! In our opinion he
should, and the pardon granted proves the truth Of
our former statement, which was, that man who

ENLARGEMENT OF THE HERALD.-Lest our pat
rons become impatient at our continued appearance
on the small sized paper we use at present. would
inform them that in the spring, early in the sum-
mer it is our intention to enlarge the Herald to the
size ofthe largest papers in the west which will ena-
Bile us to furnish them with the usual quantum of
matter through the year. This we are determined
to do if our patrons WILL be made TO, pay up,
and if not, the Herald will cease. Of the latter we
have fears, as our patronage is still greatly the
increase We hope friends win feel little pride
in seeing our town put upon an equality with wes
tern Cities and get their neighbors to relieve us Of
part Of the tax by subscribing to it and making
payment therefor in advance.
