Hrockinxidge and Burr.
We find ahe following bit Of intelligence
in . late number Of tho Louisville journal
and seeing no denial. we give the extract in
full
aJohn c. Breokinridge is blood relation Of
Aaron Burr. That's NO crime of his. but II he
shall lead hi: party Or Is LED By them 70 the con.
ricus relative .eontsmpated. it will be terrible
crime Of his."
1t is remarkable fact in the history of
this Government. that ths only too efforts
which have been made to organize an insoe-
riuw ~ sMpers0, or . separate and distinct
Government. has been done by Vice Presi-
dents. Aaron Burr, Vice. President, con-
spired to establish . Southern confederacy
by uniting the Gulf States with a portion
OF Mexico. John c. Breckinridgc, now
Vice. Rrssidsnt, 10 conspiring to units the
Gulf States with tho Mexican States Of
Tamaulipas, New Leon and Coahuila. Burr
was instigatcd. protected and defended by
the Federal party. or the opponents and hs-
ters Of the great apostle Of true Democracy
Ih0mas Jefferson, just as Breckinridge is
now instigated and defended by the ene-
mics Of the National Democracy. and the
calumniators and traducers Of the greatest
living representative of Jetfersonian De.
mocracy. Stephen a. Douglas. ol Sr..5f
Nor does the parallel stop here. Burr
was arrested in the commencement Of his
conspiracy in the State Of Kentucky. ard
ably defended by Henry Clay. The recent
election in that State has arrested Mr..
Breckinrldge in his mad career, although
ably defended by Humphrey Marshall.
Nor does the parallel stop here. On the
borders of Kentucky was the Island of
Blennerhassets where all the plans and
schemes Were concocted by Burr to dsmem-
ber.t the Confederary. In the State Of Ken
lucky thsre is a Scott county. and place
in that County. called the White Sulphur
Springs, and it is at that spot, on the 5th
poses to cdneoct speech, which is to be
used as decoy duck for his pa'tizans to
dismembcr the confederation
Nor does the parallel stop here. Burr
had an accomplice in the Mississippi valley
in the person Of Gen Wilkerson ? 3:eci-
inridge has an accompllice in the Mississip-
pi valley in the person of Gen. JEFF. Davis.
Nor does the parallel stop here. Burr
was arrested in the State Of Alabaina after
his conspiracy was exposed) in Washing
ton county, by a Mr.. Perkins Breckenridge
has been arrested in Alabama by John An
thouy Winston. s.y
Nor does the parallel stop here. Gen.
jackson, Of Tennessee, informed the coun-
try of the treason of Burr. and appeared in
the city Of Richmond as witness against
the conspirator. John j. Crittend,n, Of
KY. has informed tho country that the
pose OF disunion. and has appeared upon
the hustings as witness against the con-
spirator.
Nor does the Parallel stop here. Burr
was tried and acquitted at Richmond, Va,
for treason. the presiding Justice being
dohn Marshal. the sworn enemy Of Thorn
as Jefferson, and the impersonaiion of Fed
eralism. Breckenridge was tried and ac-
Quilted in Richmond, Va, for, disaffection
and disorgauization. the presiding Justice
being X. Barnwell Rhett, the sworn enemy.
OF National Democracy, and the embodi-
ment Of Secession aud Disunion.
Nor does the parallel stop here. After
the acquittal of Burr. at Richmond he was
ieted oy Luthur Martin. in Baltimore
breckinridge. after his nomination at Rich
mond was tetcd and fattered at Barnum's
Hotel in Baltimore.
Nor does the parallel stop here. Burr
left the United States and sought solace in
a foreign land. Breckinridge. we learn.
will soon retreat to the far off shores Of the
Pacific, and amidst the golden sands OF
California seek reposc and refuge from the
frowns o. an indignant people. i
1t was the Federal party and the ene-
mics of Jefferson, that were the apologists
and defenders of Burr. 1t is tho Dispnion
party and the enemies of Douglas that are
now the accomplices, the apologists aud
of Bre.kinridge. Federalism
and Disunion have always been inimcal to
true Democracy. Then we say, let tho
people profit by the past history of Burr.
and be not deceived by the chicanery OF his
blood relation, John G. Ba kinridge. If
Burr had not been throttled in his treason
able designs what would have been our con-
dition at present ? And if Breckenridge
and his party are not stopped in their efforts
to destroy the Union, what will soon bo ours
condition
This is question which must be an
swcred at the ballot box in November next.
American freemen You have fearful
responsibility resting upon you. The path
Of conservatism. Union. peace. prosperity
and harmony is plain beforeyou. But you
are invited to follow Yancey, Rhett, aud
Breckenridge into the vortex Of destruction
revolution. anarchy and bloodshed. Choose
yc,
EE Mr.. Yancsy, and his disciples take
a great desl.of trouble to show that no reg
ular nomination was made at Baltimore.
They labor to prove that they were success
ful in drawing out more than one-third Of
the Convention, SO that net quite two.
thirds were left; and. consequently. the
remainder not competent to mako nomi-
nation. As fast as they are successful. they
prove that they broke up the democratic Or
ganizatio. They did their best At it. and
they are ambitious to prove their success
Then the appeal runs thus
