Hence at every ballot, they locked

the ncgociation. The Cornell was
then, and not till then, abandoned bj
the federa-lifts.
We come now to r oticc the pro
portions submitted by mr. Ogden to
mr. Burr, and his anbver tnercio. O.r
th.e corrtClnc/s of theie proportions,
ttnd aniwers., the public may implicitly
ivly ; and fhouLi they be contrud.&ed
either by general Mam Iron, wiio we
fiiy :s the writer of the letter from this
< ;ry ro a leading member of congivis
at Washington, or by mr. Ogden, the
r.egociator, the reader \vii! perceive
that the gentleman who has done the
country so much 1 rvicc as to comma
nicate thole prepositions and anlwers,
Binds pledged virtually to “ prove
tue fuels.” We are convinced, how
ever, that neither r lie one nor the oth
er can or will be done.
The fir it p repo fit ion of rr.r. Ogden
to mr. Burr is ti.iS : What would be
i( the conduct he would oLdcrve,
if elecUxi by the mean? of the fcderal
tl ills, in refpccl to certain cardinal
t{ points of federal pLi< yr” Bo which
mr. Burr made the following reply :
“ As to the firfi; point it would not be

the 1-ast to indicate a repulft —that it!
would “'not be proper to enter into]

arid kcond, that lofar as it was {nope:
ro ihtisfy t’le federaliiis as to “ certain
cardinal points oi federal pohc\"’ gen

tiation would be iuffiiicut. He tlien
makes thole general remarks “ and

situation in which he Ihoukl be piaCi.l.:
if raifcdtochc prtfjdency in opponrion
to the adverse party.” Here Mr. Barr
>s roo explicit to be mifunde.dlood.
If raided to the presidency by die fede*
niills, he mould owe h'.s elevation to:
them, and confcqucr.tly that the car
dinal points of his administration
jlmuld accord with federal policy.
This is a plain and fair interpretation
of Mr. Burrs’r reply to the fir it propo
rtion, which is Wronger, and cor.ct ies
niore to blr* Ogdrn dian could v.t;
liuve been expected on a licit inter
view.
But a second conference was had
wi'h Mr. Ogden, in which Mr. Bur f

j Mr. Ofcdrn co-nplered his negotiation with
