AARON BuRR's Colonel
Aaronk Burr wore holiness of mien that
could not pass unnoticed by stranger. His
department was polished and courtly. The
appropriate ciyilities of the drawing room
were performed with grace peculiar to him
self. His manner was inconceivably fascin-
ating. He acted upon the principle that the
females were the weaker sex that they wer
all susceptible of flattery, and his great art
consisted in adapting it to the grade of intel
lect he addressed.
Such traits Of character would appear to be
incompatible with an elevated and towering
mind yet they frequently controlled one of
the most extraordinary men of the age. A
volume of anecdotes may be related as evil
dence Colonel Burr's quickness of perception
and tact at reply. After his return from Eu-
rope, in 1872 he met friend, maiden lady,
in Broadway. He had not seen her for many
years. AS she passed him she exclaimed:
"Colonel Burr you do not recollect me y
"I do not, madame" he replied.
cit is Miss X. sir"
"What Miss K. yeti
The lady somewhat piqued, retorted, eyes,

The Philadelphia North AmerscGn takes
occasion thus to set right some points of his
tory for the benefit of Democrats
Unfortunately for our Democratic friends
they have man at the fore Of whom they
cannot speak except they arouse host Of re-
collections not at all favorable to themselves
as party. Thus, Mr.. Cassiday, in his speech
accepting the command of the Democratic
Campaign Committee, alluded to Hancock as
"the saviour Of Pennsylvania at Gettysburg"
No man who respects history will attempt to
take anything from Gen. Hancock that be-
longs to him. But nobody regarded him as
the especial bulwark of Pennsylvania at
Gettysburg. Like Reynolds and many other
Generals be stood for the Union on that day.
and like them he bled for the Union also on
that day. But we have been in this part OF
the country at least, and unless history is
falsely written we have truly been of the be-
lief that Gen. Meade was the director of that
sanguinary battle. His was the responsibility
and bis must be the fame, contributed to- of
course, by his gallant subordinates. 1t is
rather early to falsify history, as Mr. CASH
uay Will pfOudDiy Acuiu OSiOho vhC e"mk'"'6n
gets very warm.
But what we desire more particularly to
say, appropos to Mr.. Cassiday's slogan, is
that praise of Gen. Hancock's gallant conduct
on the field of Gettysburg is a reproach to Mr..
Cassiday's party. Perhaps Mr.. Cassiday will
rake over his recolections of those three
days, and the week preceding that Hateful
struggle. and inform the public what was the
attitude of his party, and the organs of his
party at that particular time If he has not
treasured up the utterances of his party or
gans and orators about that time, he can re-
fresh his memory by referring to the news
paper files. Should his time be too much oc.
cupied to do that, we think we can promise
him that those excerpts from their current
history will be furnished him, and all Ameri-
can citizens, before this campaign is over
They are not of the stamp which led anybody
at that time to suppose that the Democrats
would ever select any Of the Union Generals
who figured at Gettysburg to carry their
standard.
