Aaron Burr claimed the attention of
the meeting for short time. lie had
studied American politics, and had been
u close observer of American affairs ey-
er since the organization of the United
States government, and the result of
his observation was, that mankind were
untitled for self-governmcnt, and that
the Republic was failure. 1t was
needless for him to enter into any ar
gumcnt; the fact stared them in the
face, and his advice was to strengthen
the hands of the Radical party, instruct
them to nominate Gen. Grant for the
Presidency, and to elect him by any
means fair or foul; little management
on the part of Congress could easily et-
feet that object, Grant once elected, he
could assure them there would be an

his command and the Unsuitable appe-
tite for plunder ofthe Northern people,
the object, cowed condition of the
South, and the easily bought compiled

would be no difficulty in his making
himself dictator and then emperor of
the United States; consumnation he
thought most devoutly to be wished for,
and one that would rebound to the bene-
fit of America and of his Majesty's do
minions.
Stephen A. Douglas arose, wrathy
and belligerent. lie said that he could
not allow these Radical revolutionary
doctrines to pass unnoticed, without
putting in word of defence for the
cause in which he had labored so long
and so hard while in the flesh--the great

His Majesty having commanded and
enforced order, remarked that it was
obvious that the sense of the meeting
was unanimously in favor of sustaining
the Radical party, and as his cherished
friend Mr.. Lincoln had advised them
as to the benefits that would be reaped
from judicious bribery. he suggested
that the most able and influential mem
Der of the party should be appointed as

newed ardor and energy, he should be
assured of his high appreciation at this
court, and the certainty ofhis receiving
the highest honors and emoluments
here after his death. A unanimous
shout of approval greeted this sugges-
tion. His Majesty said, that it only re-
NAMED to select the leader, and he de-
sired to hear the sense OF the meeting on
hat point. Mr.. Lincoln nominated
and warmly advocated the claims of the
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, who he said,

he must, he had prepared for him cor

where he should be closed in huge
