Character of Aaron Burr.
BY WILLIAM WALLACE.

IfBlennerhassetl had been the only person
ruined by Burr, charity would suggest a
burial of our remembrance of the EXlle's
desolation. Bui the victims of Burr are to
be numbered by hundreds. The base aud
the peaks of society, alike, show the scathing
marks ofhis fiery visitation,
He cherished no friendship; he returned
unhonored the drafts of gratitude:, he klndled
the fame ofust at the very fireside of hospl-
tality. md felt little pleasure in bidding adieu
to the L.ares of his host until the dearest OBJ
iects that flourished under their sacred inf1u
ence were sacrificed But for the deep alice
ton which he manifested towards his daugh-
ter, his sole merits seem to have been cool
ness aud courage; and yet, clustering as were
the laurels which they showered on his brow,
his baser passions so predomnated that he
held it more glorious to seduce woman
than to shine in the field of letters, to scale
the sleeps of philosophy, or to wave banner
VIGOROUSLY in battle.
He courted the man to corrupt his wife
the statesman to profit by his infiuence--the
miIionare to obtain his money--&the world to
crafty his desiresH He was the more dangerous
from the possession of an intellect MASSIVE,
piercing and brillant,united to form at once
handsome and vigorous. His mind was nut
n keen weapon with which he hewed a path
to conquest. That weapon was Protean. II
the victim fully came under the gaze OF an
eve whose sharp light resembled lightning
IMPRISONED and forever playing in cloud MS
black as death--he was forever lost. Burr's
conversation was irresstibly fascinatng-for
his hands swept every chord of the human
heart. He strewed the rosy paths ofthe hap
nv with flowers of still brighter hue; he
arched the troubled sky of the Responding,
with the rninbow of hope; he conjured up be-
fore the rapt vision of the avariclous, golden
Golcondas and to the aspiring he pointed out
the illuminated yistas of Glory.
Thus he stood gifted and unprincipled;
ruthless aud terrible. The want of great for
tune, alone, prevented his presenting, in one
vast Alpine mass, the EVIL which he accom-
pIisbed but too successfully in many details.
Chance confined to valleys, comparatively
humble, the stupendous glaciers which only
needed the rays of the sun offortune to de-
vastate continents. H"an
II NAV be asked: "ls not his valor on the
battle fields of his country to be remember
ed?" Yes? That was redeeming thing
No matter from what motive his military tai
ents were exercised, our land reaped some
benefit. But we are forced to doubt the pat
riotism of one who was so ready to forsweaI
his allegiance; who trampled on so much that
men hold sacred, and who regarded his eX-
nloits against royal tyranny less glorious than
the moral destruction ola humble being
| Ace ia expected to subdue; but with Burr

several common school branches, improved
methods ofteaching, course of studies, class
ification, government discipline, order of
schools, or any other appropriate subject.
1t can hardly be doubted that exercises of
this character, pursued some two or three
weeks, must elicit some valuable information,
which, diffused among teachers, will go far
to qualify them for their duties in the school
room. ...... '.H.
III further aid of the same object, supply
ing all onr schools with competent teachers,
much reliance may be placed on the lahors
of the town 'Superintendents. They should
not fail to visit every school at least twice.
These should not be mere calls; hut time
should he allowed to become acquaiu ted with
both teachers and scholars. Interviews with
teachers at other times, out of school, will
furnish opportunities for friendly advice, eau
ton, or commentator, which might be i'm
proper in the presence ofthe scholars, and
yet indispensable TO the successful manage
ment of the schools. Teachers often want
the sympathy and advice Of some judcious
friend, and every town Superintendent should
endeaver 10 be sought out for this purpose.
Little difficulties sometimes arise between
teachers and the parents of some ofthe chill
dren, and unless wisely managed, they may
prove the destruction ofthe school, or otthe
reputation efule teacher, or both. In these
cases a responsible and prudent counsellor,

Teachers drills might be conducted by
town Superintendent with great advantage
and that sufficient number might always be
present, the largest scholars should be adj
mitted. A lecture,a discussion, an examina-
ton, or other exercise, might protitably and
pleasantly occupy one evening in u week

with ec,,ul convenience, the meetings should

week to week & close their tasks with n cheer
ing conviction that they had honorably inl-
filed their engagements, secured the affec-
ton and gratitude oftheir pupils, and the es-
TEEN and respect of their employers.
Through want ofmeans for a better way,
we must,I suppose, for the present, rely upon
these agencies for the gradual improvement
of common school teachers. Whether these
will ever prove adequate to the supply ofour
wants in this respect, must remain doubtful
until we see the people ofom State shake off
their apathy,an put forth those efforts which
will insure us fair standing among our most
enterprisiug sister States, in the very impor-
TINT feature of general education. Z.
