Aaron Burr,

About the year 1895 Col Barr was owner Of
nearly fourth of block fronting on Nassau
Cedar and Liberty streets, and Broadway He
was an eminent lawyer, with an extensive practice
L was informed by one of the profession that his
practice at one period was worth ten thousand
dollars year. | used frequently to sit on lures
IN the old City Hall (now the site of the custom
house) when Hamilton and Burr were the oppos-
ing counsel. They were both acute LAWYERS and
eloquent speakers. A remarkable incident took
place one day. They were trying the validity Of
OF will Hamilton, having the will in his hand,
happened to hold 1t between the window and his
eyes. he rose and prayed the court to stay the
proceedings and, handing the will up to the Judge
l think it was Brockholst Livingston. remarked:
'lf the court please holding the instrument SO
as to look through the paper. The water-marki is
dated hive years after the will was signed. The
testator could not make will FIVE years after be
was DEAD. of course the verdict for the defen-
dant was given at once.
In the year 1900 Col Burr was elected To the
office of Vice President of the U. s On the 11th
OF July, 1904 he retired from political life. The
1atai termination of the duel with Hamilton and
the Vlrdct OF 'wllfu murder rendered by the cor
oners jury, caused him to absent himself from
this part OF the country. He travelled through the
Southern and Western States, for the purpose of
getting up an expedition against Mexico. for which
NJ ne was tired Tor high treason. He then fled to
England where his papers were seized, and him
sen thrown INTO prison. He was liberated soon
after Travelled through France and Germany. and
returned to N. York in 1919 He resumed the
prac9ce OF law at No. Is Nassau street. Being
nightly esteemed by his fellow-citizens, the effort
was unsuccessful, and soon he fell into decay in
mind, body and estate. Mathew L. Davis. bis
last solitary friend stuck to him closer than broth
1 er ana mad HIM lodged in a solitary hut, with
lonely window, on desert sand-bank in the wilds
ot M staten Island Here, through the bounty Of
Mr.. Davis, he lived for eighteen months. abd here
on the night of the l4th Of September, 1886, died
Aaron Burr, in the eighty fifth year of his age,
with not friend to close his eyes, or wipe the dew
drops of death from his brow Washington, Ad-
ans. Jay and Hamilton died surrounded by weep

to PROFOUND to you as one of the candidates ior
Governor of this State, the following quesaons' 10
which we solicit an answer at your earliest conVe-
nience.
1st. Do you believe that State, by virtue Oh
her sovereignty has the right to peaceably seceue
from the Union, or is it your opinion that the zen
eral Government has the Constitutional authority
to ceerce her to remain in the Union? And should
a call be made upon the State of Mississippi for
militia to aid in attempting to coerce a secedng
State would you if in Executive office, obey sucn
requisition.
2nd Do you believe that the late acts OF Con
gress termed the .'Compromise' were Constl1u-
tional, just and equitable
A copy of the foregoing has been forwarded 10
the Hon. Henry s. Foote your opponent by the

Eg- Senator Foote, the Compromising csp4

promises his principles for place and power, h,
the rights of the South also, said of Fillmore tso
or three years since, that he was free soiler and
Wilmot provisoist-and denounced him as SUR
The same man, Foote finding it convenient pov
to defend Fillmore, says he is true patriot, and
faithful to his obligations and the South Was
Senator Foote'S denunciation in 1848 Just if 50
he is deceivng the people now, if not he deceived
them then, and this proves him unworthy of con.
fdence, unless he renounces his opinions Of Fill
more in 1848
And now few words as to Mr. FILLMORE
He is certainly of ability; for aught / know
to the contrary, he is man of integrity in the or.
binary sense of the word. He is unquestionably
a Wing, and a thoroughgoing one-a National
Bank, Protective Tariff, Free-soI Wing. That
he is in favor of the Free-soa or Wilmot Provso
principle, | proved, month or two since, in the
U. S. Senate, by testimony collected in New York.

place 1t is fact that never has been denied in
Congress; that no gentleman, anywhere, would
think of denying. 1t has not been denied BY the
Whig orators, or by any of them on this occasion.
Indeed these gentlemen have declined all defence
of him; several of them, and especially the gen
tleman to whom l am now replying, did not even
remotely refer to him. Why did he not do so p
Because he knew his principles to be ndefensble.
That gentleman is yet in the stand. ] know him
to be a conscientious man. and will, therefore, try
an experiment upon him. l invite him now to
rise, if he dare do so, and deny that iilard FIJI
more IS Witmot Proviso man. invite him even
to express his opinion to that effect. He does no
rise; he agrees with me that Mr. Fillmore IS
| IFiiD5ot ProUiSo man.
So Millard Fillmore's opinions are coSsERvA
TIVE, are they? He is in favor of Nationa
Bank, opposed to the Independent Treasury;
the author, more than any other person, of tn
Tariff of 1912; is in favor of distributing the pro
ceeds of the public lands; was opposed to the an
nexation of Texas; opposed to the war with Mexi
co; opposed to voting supplies for the Army Wills
war was In progress; opposed to the acquisition 0
California and New Mexico; is now in favor of th
Wilmot Proviso; when in Congress, some year
