The following is an ext raft from the
Kiev* of the conduct of Aaron Burr ,
Esq," lately publjhed,
“ Tho votes of the State of Pennsylva
nia, from cauies which, being of so re
cent a date, it is not unnccelfary here to
repeat, were extremely doubtful. Thole
of South-Carolina were not less precari
ous. Had the fifteen votes of the former
Stale been given to the Republican can
didates, their election would have been
secured beyond all doubt. In this case,
even if all the votes of South-Carohna
had been Federal, JcfFcrfon and Burr
would notwithstanding, have been elected.
This was so apparent to both parties, that
in the event mentioned, the Federaliils
would have retreated from the contest;
they could have had no hopes of success.
So far as this related to the ambitious
views of Mr. Burr, he saw in its full
force the importance of the Pcnnfy Ivania
Vote*; for it was determined by many
infljcncial Fcderalifts, that, if Pennfyl-
Vania had given the whole of her votes
for jefferfon and Burr, the Federal Elec
tors of New-Jersey, having-then no hopes
of the success of their own candidates,
were fccrctly to have given their votes
to Mr. Burr, and so, in spite of Repub
lican opposition, have made him P ref dent
ts the United Slates ! Mr, Jonathan
I) yton has openly declaredfnce the e
lsclioK t that this nvas their plan. And
if we want demondration of their dispo
sition to have done so, we have only to
turn to the Federal votes in the House of
P.cprefentatives in the Prefidcntial con.
test, and we (hall find it. Mr. Burr,
there is every reason to believe, was ful
ly acquainted with this treasonable plot.”
IMPO R TANT CONCL US lON.
Whether the charges which have been
To diredly made againtt Mr. Burr in the
•'* Narrative" and the f ‘View,” come
home to his convidion or not, they cer
tainly prove the neceliity of a reform in
the Federal Conltitution, for delignating
the votes given for Prefidcnt and those
given for Vice-Prcfidcnt, It has been
our opinion, from the firft breath of the
difagrecable business involving the cha
racter of the Vice-Prcfidcnt, that if he
bad formed the coalition dated, it was
the result a temptation offered by that
unfortunate deled in the Conltitution,
which made it poflible for him to obtaid
a Ration the public voice had not alloted
him, and which his ambition forbade him
to refufe the probable means of acquiring,
although he Ihould embrace them at the
expence of a dereliction of principle,
POLITICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
Hamilton and Gallatin.
A course of numbers were published in
the New. York Evening Poll lad winter,
entitled the Examination of the President’s
Message, signed Lucius Crajfus y and af
terwards ropublilhcd in a pamphlet. Os
that ehborate work of opposition, Mr.
Hamilton is the reputed author. In ex.
amining the President’s recommendation
10 revile the naturalization law, he vehe
vnently censures Prelidenr Jederfonfor hav.
ing appointed Mr. GaHatin Secretary of
die Treasury, becaufit he is a foreigner.
Such a censure comes with a peculiar grace
from Alexander Hamilton, who is him
ielf a foreigner, exactly in the fame sense
as Albert Gallatin, and yet under a for
mer adminiltration was appointed to the
fame ofiice.
Mr. Hamilton was born in St. Croix,
a Welt-India illand, under monarchical
governmenr, and brought up in a count
ing house there. Mr. Gallatin was born
and educated at Geneva, a ftnall city at
che foot of the Alps, celebrated for free
dom, fciencc, and the protedant religion,
and between which and the United States
there can be no dangerous competition of
intereds. Mr. Hamilton came to the
United States at the age of eighteen ; Mr.
Gallatin at the age of nineteen. They
both performed pcrlbnal service in the re
volutionary war; Mr. Hamilton in the
continental army, and Mr. Gallatin in
the militia of Massachusetts, in which he
was a volunteer under Colonel Allen, of
the didriCl of Maine. They were both
citizens, at the adoption of the Constitu
tion, and therefore parties to that indru
menr. Mr. Hamilton was a member of
the Convention for framing and adopting
the national conltitution, although his
own favorite fyltem of government was
rejected : Mr. Gallatin abided, as a mem
ber of the convention, in forming and
adopting the conltitution of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Hamilton and his friends have accused
Mr, Gallatin of promoting an infurreCtion
by his oppoluion to the excise law. On
the contrary, Mr. Gallatin's friends, par-
I ticularly Mr. Findley, the hidorian, have
' charged Mr, Hamilton with being the
author of that infurre£Hon, fcy his impro
per manner of executing the excite law.
Mr. Hamilton had been in the United
States, from about the year 1771., to
1788, a period of feventecn years, when
he was appointed Secretary ot the Trea
sury; Mr. Gallatin had been a resident
from 1780 to 1801, a period of twenty,
one years, when he was appointed to the
fame office. These two naturalized citi
zens are diftinguilhed as men ot talents,
and as influential promoters of two differ,
enr, and in the fame refpefts opposite
fyltems of finance and government. The
merits of their respective fyftcms are pro.
per fuhjefts ot examination. But it is
absurd for either of them, or their friends,
to accuse the other of being a foreigner.
Samuel Adams and John Adams,
From the Boston Chronicle.
We have the pleasure of informing the
public, that we have now in our posses
sion, and (hall soon publish in a handsome
pamphlet, the letters of Mr. John to
Mr. Samuel Adams, and the answer of
this last gentleman, precisely as they were
written, with the names of our four no
ble families at full length ; that the pub
lic may know the fluff of which our fu
ture American ariilocracy is to be compos
ed. We flatter ourselves, as all parties
appear to be agreed in the propriety of
making the appeal to the public sense,
that no unpleasant sensations will be pro
duced by this publication ; and we anti
cipate, in the review it mull necessarily oc.
cafion of our firft principles, that the cause
of rational liberty will lofc nothing by
the invelligation that will probably fol
low it. At any rate no public quefiion
can be considered as of more real impor
tance, than that which this epiflolary
correfpondencc will necessarily bring into
view r . As it reaches the very foundation
of the present order ot things in this happy
country, and as it difclolcs the private
sentiments of two of the mod diftinguilhed
friends of the late revolution, who have
unhappily differed in their ideas, as to
our exilling political eftabliTanients, and
the true principles on which they ought
to be supported.
