ftrsffl my ptrfjJose. The course, which I an
;;. is sufficient to satisfy my awn
conscience ; a:id it is indifferent to me Whe-
tl« ;¦ tei: or ten thousand men should join in
my coj'i terffllation.
Mr. Botts asserts that we have produced
no authorities to prove our position ; and
ihat wc have none to produce. But is it
right to bejconstantly referring to precedents?
la there no allowance to be made for the
operations of common sense in any case?
Where cases of doubt and difficulty occur,
a refcrrence of this kind is certainly proper
to enlighten and fortify our own judgments.
But even admitting the propriety of intro-
ducing precedents in the whole extent for
fieh gentlemen contend it is their biisi-
nftss and not .our own to comply with the re-
quisition for precedents. We stand upon the
brocid general principle, that courts have the
power to commit. If gentlemen contest
this principle in the present case way do
they not introduce their countervailing autho-
rities ?
Mr. Hay expressed his regret that his
friend Mr. VVickham had not more seriously
meditated upod this subject before he had
urged his objections ; that if he had under-
stood it with his usual correctness, he never
v. ould have troubled the court with the
law of Virginia ; for that this law had not
the slightest bearing upon the specikc pro-
position before them.
Mr. Wickham inquires why we do not
at once send up our indictments before the
grand jmy; and suppose, sir, we should
pursue the course, which he recommends ;
suppose we should send up our indictment
on the evidence, which is now in our pos-
session. Several days might elapse before
they would be able to investigate this body
i have the evidence before lite jury, lie
I should be much more anxious to have it be-
fore the court. The jury will have one side
of the evidence enly before them, and that
will be completely against himself. Both,
however, will go before the court. Why
then does he shrink from the evidence ? If
an unjust prejudice assails him, the light of
truth and evidence will dissipate it. Why
docs he shrink ?
The gentlemen on the other side, conti-
nued Mr, Play, do not do us justice. They
charge us with persecution and oppression.
Sir, I never contemplated or wished to hurt
A. Burr—I scorn it. I look not to him.
I look only to the duties which I am solemn-
ly bound to perform.
One remark more, sir, and I have done.
Gentlemen on the other side insist upon the
insufficiency of our evidence. Because we
have withheld our indictments from the
grand jury, they have hastily inferred, that
we feel our evidence to be toofeebie to satisfy
the jury. They are mistaken, sir—I assure
them that they are mistaken. I conscien-
tiously believe that we have evidence enough,
even throwing out the depositions them-
selves, to satisfy the grand jury of the guilt
of A. Burr. But, sir, puerile indeed would
it be for us, under the present state of things,
to submit our case before the grand jury on
the evidence before us, when we are every
moment expecting better.

fJjB. Randolph's Speech in our next. J
FEDEHAL GAZETTE.
""SATURDAY, 'JpNE 6.
Extract of a letter from Detroit, Michigan
Territory.
" The rifle company under command of
captain William M. Scott of the Legionary
corps of this territory have unanimously vo-
lunteered their services to the government
of the United Slates, agreably to an Act
passed at the late session of onngress."
Tiie house of Hope, Wiilinck 5c co. have
agreed to furnish the Dutch government
with a loan of 40,000,000 of ducats. The
contractors, it is said will be permitted to
carry on a trade with England, in certain
articles of commerce hitherto prohibited by
the government of Holland.
Lord St. Vincent has resigned the com-
mand ot the channel fleet, which has been
given to lord Gardner.
To the Citizens of Baltimore and its pre-
cincts.
Tiie managers of the Baltimore General
Dispensary are encouraged to persevere in
the support of this valuable institution, by
the proofs which,they have had of its great
utility, and the patronage which it has re-
ceived from a number of the inhabitants of
the city and its vicinity. This patronage
might, however, be greatly extended ; and
they earnestly call upon those, to whom
God has given the ability, to enrol their
names upon the list of charitable and hu-
mane persons, from whom the Dispensary
now derives its support. They.particularly
address themselves to the citizens of Fell's-
Point, where there is much ability, where
the subjects of the dispensary are very nu-
merous, and for the relief of whom a con-
siderable bhare of its funds is annually ex-
pended.
The subscription of five dollars entitles
the donor to a vote at the elections of mana-
gers and physicians, and to recommend to
the care of the dispensary any indigent sick
persons who may fall under his or her no-
lice. Such subscriptions, and any sums ad-
ditional thereto, which the wealth of many
individuals may enable them, and their hu-
manity and generosity projjiipt them, to give,
will be gratafully received by the treasurer
of the institution, Mr. Philip E. Thomas,
No. 106, Baltimore-street. Put, although
this intimation may be considered as ad-
dressed to all persons, desirmls of contribut-
ing to the restoration of health to thei•" poor
brethren suffering under its loss ; yet, with
respect to those whose names will be found
on the list which will be published in Mon-
day's Gazette, the managers have appoint-
ed Mr. Benjamin Thomas to call upon them
personally, and to receive from such as are
disposed to foster this excellent charity, their
respective subscriptions, which they flatter
themselves they are willing to continue.—
The same motive which led to the adoption
of this measure last year, will always conti-
nue to operate, viz. the unreasonableness
of laying the burthen of soliciting subscrip-
tions on a few benevolent and public-spirit-
ed citizens, and the difficulty of procuring
suitable persons who have leisure and incli-
nation to undertake the work, without sub-
jecting them to its frequent recurrence—
And, in addition to those whose bounty has
supported the dispensary during the last year,
the managers have instructed their collector
to call upon many others who have hereto-
fore united in this labor of love.' • They re-
joice, that under the smiles of Providence
the ability of such persons is unimpaired ;
and they flatter themselves, (bat they neither
want the inclination to contribute their aid,
nor a consciousness ef the valuable uses to
which their bounty will be applied. Acci-
dent may have occasioned them to cease to
exert themselves for a while ;' but it is hop-
ed that they will cheerfully resume tiieir
former station among the patrons of the
chanty.
Tiie list contains the names of those who
subscribed to the support of the Dispensary,
for the last year, including two whose libe-
ral contributions have entitled themselves
and their representatives to the perpetual en-
joyment of the previleges of a contributor.
If the name of any person, v,hc was acon-
tiiout't- the Inst year should have been omit-
ted, it is hoped that, it will be ascribed to
accident and not wilful intention.
In due time a statement of the receipts
and expenditures, with an account of the
number of persons admitted to the care of
the institution, during the last year, and the
issue ot their cases will be published for the
information of the contributors.
