Aaron Burr.

The Presbyterian Herald thus speaks Of
the last moments OF this great but misgaid-
ed man
There were some facts connected with the
closing scenes Of Mr. Burr's life, which
were told to us soon after they occurred, by
one received them from an eye witness,
which we do not remember 10 have seen
stated anywhere in print. We suppose
that we will not be considered as violating
the privacy OF the domestic circle in refer
ring to them at this remote period after their
occurrence.
During Mr. Burr's last illness, he was
very restless and impatient toward those
who were about his person, often induig ~
in profane and abusive language. His
physician, observing that modification had
commenced in the extremities. thought II
his duty TO inform him Of the fact. and to as
sure him that whatever preparation he
might wish 10 make for death, should be
made al once. In as gentle tones az he
could command, he broached the subject,
assuring him that within twenty-four hourt,
at the furthest he would be dead man.
Mr. Burr replied, doctor, | cant die, !
went die. | shsn't die. Nv father, and
F.. mother, and grandparents. and uncles, and
aunts, were all pious and cody people
They prayed for ray conversion thousand
times, and il God be hearer OF prayers, he
is NOT going TO let me die unit their prayers
are answered. Il lie impossible that the
child OF so many prayers should be lost. -
The Doctor replied, MIR. Burr You are al
ready dying" He then went over pretty
much the same expressions as given above,
and sank into d stupor, and soon slept the
sleep which knows no waking until the
morning OF the resurrection. We may not
have given the precise language used by
him, as years have elapsed since it was re-
ported TO US. Our informant received the
impression that he had run the race OF his
iniquity. all the while indulging in the hope
that. like the celebrated Augustine, before
he died he would be converted, in answer
to the prayers Of his pious friends and pa
rents. God, in his divine sovereignty, dis
appointed his expectations, ana made him 4
monument of his wrath, and beacon to all
ungodly children, who are building their
hopes Of heaven upon their connection with
pous ancestry. When such cruelty the
Son Of God afresh, and put him to an open
shame, they must not be disappointed if he
puts ;hem to everlasting shame and con-
tempt before his father and the holy angels
and assembled universe.

PAKIr NAxEs.-The Chicago Dtmocrat
indi0rantly denies the existence OF DEM
ocfsfic party in Illinois. II says, that ",here
are bur two parties in the State, for the OBJ
ject and purposes OF the coming election;
the Slavery Extension. or Douglas party,
whose cardinal principle, and whose main
effort is 10 establish slavery in free territo-
u--and an Anti-Slsveg Extension, or
Freedom party" The same may be said OF
Iowa and indeed OF every State in The
Union. The parties have narrowed them
selves down TO the one question of slavery
and while the Administration or Douglasiies
are simply Slavery propagandists the Anti
elayery Extension or Republican party are
the advocates of freedom.
