From the Enquirer.
Mr. Wichhnm observed, that he should
offer a few remarks on the supplementary
arguments of Mr. Hay ; that in this case col.
B's counsel had called—they had a right to
call for the precedents—that Mr. Randolph}
who had so ably represented this conunon-
wealth, as a criminal prosecutor for thirty-
years, had never known a single one to jus-
tify this morion ; that however true it might
he, that the state of Virginia was now of
smaller extent than the whole of the United
States, yet that it was then cut up into small
judicial districts as the United States at pre-
sent are, and that the witnesses in a crimi-
nal prosecution might have hewn scattered
over those districts, as they are said to be in
the present circumstances ; that Mr. Ran-
dolph had represented not one of those dis-
tricts, but the whole, not only on this side
of the mountains, but beyond them ; and
even the uncultivated region of Kentucky,
where travelling was at that time iiibh- to
so many difficulties, and from which it was
so extremely laborious to transport the wit-
nesses to this side of the mountains ; that
it was not until Kentucky had been more
thickly populated, that a particular court
had been established there. And what is the
case in England and her dependencies ? t er-
tainly that island is not equally extensive
with the United States, but her subjects may
at all events be scattered over the world.
Why then is there no precedent in that
country ? Is it not possible that a man might
happen to be as far from the court of king's
bench as General "Wilkinson is from this
court ? And yet there is no precedent to
to justify this motion.
What is the crime ? Is it of so little im-
portance that this court, upon the producti-
on of every little affidavit should consent
to hear new motions for a commitment ?
This crime is treason; it. is " a levying of
¦war" against the United States. And where
is the proof of it? Where was col. B's
forces ? Was his army, like that of Bayes's,
kept in disguise ? Wilkinson's testimony
cannot establish this fact ; for it is the opi-
nion of the chief justice that his affidavit
does not at all bear upon this subject ; and
yet two months have since elapsed, and no
testimony has been collected. Wilkinson's
depostion contains an improbable, mysterious
tale, about a kef and cypher : Mr. W. said
that would not at present expose this trans-
action ; but does this mysterious tale consti-
tute treason ? " You, sir, have already de-
cided that there is no'tfeason in Wilkinson's
deposition ; but were the man himself in
court, what could he establish further than
his deposition can do ?"
Mr. flay is satisled that he has sufficient
evidence to convict col. Burr. No man doubts
his ability or his inclination to discharge his
duty. Why then does he not lay his indict-
ments before the jury ? Because there happens
to be a man in New-Orleans, and one perhaps
in the East-Indies ; and therefore " to make
assurances doubly sure," lie must wait for
thiir appearance : and all this too, whilst the
gentleman most, seriously protests against
oppression and delay. Though the gentle-
man may not be conscious of such a senti-
ment, there must be something like it in his
heart: but whatever may be the motive, the
result to ourselves is the same. It produces
delay and all its consequent oppressions.
No court should sanction this proceeding.
This case is like that of a man whose cause
stands for trial. When subpoenas after sub-
poenas have been issued ; when sums after
sums have been' expended, he moves for a
continuation of his suit. At the very sann'
time he insists upon the sufficiency of his
evidence. Surely the court would rule him
to trial.
Why is not the attorney for the United
States ready for trial ? He has indeed made
a computation of time to show that Wilkin-
son could not have been here before this pe-
riod ; and he has besides introduced an affi-
davit to show that an express was on his
way to Orleans to give him an early sum-
mons. There is, however, nothing in proof
that the drawer of this affidavit was not
imposed on by this express ; or that the ex-
press himself was not mistaken as to the
contents of his dispatches. And how stands
the computatisn as to time ? The post goes
from Washington to New-Orleans in seven-
teen days. Mr. Rodney left this city in the
last of March. The express must therefore
have reached New-Orleans about the 20th
of April ; and yet where is Wilkinson ?
Though the Mississippi runs down to New-
Orleans, and opposes a strong current to
those who ascend it, yet it is surely a rea
sonable proposition that on land it requires
no longer tims to come than to go ; and yet
Gen. Wilkinson is not here !
Mr. Hay says it is of no consequence
whether the grand jury is present or not.
But is this consonant with the sound prin-
ciples of law ? Is it constitutional, sir, where
there is a particular body set apart for the
investigation of facts, for the court to step
in and rudely take this power from them ?
He says that perhaps he shall not send up
his bills before the present grand jury—But
I trust in God, sir, that this determination
will be overrule'! by the court ; and that if
this prosecution is ever to be closed, we
may see the curtain drop upon it now and
forever ! If, sir, the prosecution obtains a
postponement of this trial, and for want of
evidence on their part, we might properly
contend that col. Burr, if bound to bail at
all, should be held in a smaller recogni-
zance than at present. But we shall wave
this right. It is not our wish to discharge
the grand jury, but to set this question at
rest forever.
We have said that we were ready for trial.
We are so, sir, in fact, as well as in the ab-
stract. The prosecutors say, that we do not
believe them to be ready. But how can
the gentleman suppose that we mean to pay
so poor a compliment to his veracity, as
to believe that he acts upon his own facts as
if he himself did not believe them to be
true.
The gentleman, sir, has warmly eulogised
the present administration. As a private
citizen, sir, no man has less to say with the
politics of .this country than myself. That
gemlerr.s't lias drawn a pir-hire ftf'oir na-
tional prosperity ; and i am happy to hope
that is true to the life in every tiling, one
feature only excepted. What, however,
will he say of the persecution of my client ?
Sir, let that gentleman dra. the most ani-
mated pictures of our happiness which his
imagination can supply ; let them be how-
soever cheering or howsoever just, it will
be but little allevation to the wounds of my
persecuted client, that he is the only man in
the nation whose rights are not secure trom
violation.
Mr. Burr then t< se, and addressed the
curt to the following effect :
I am not, I hope, sir, wasting the time of
the court upon the present occasion. The
motion proposed is admitted on all hands to
be important ; and it is certainly a new one.
Perhaps it was to have been expected, that
on a point so novel, some precedents would
have been produced; but in this expecta-
tion we have been disappointed. Its no-
velty will, however, he productive of ano-
ther ;ffect : it will still belter qualify it for
making another small feature in the picture
of oppressions and grievances which have
never been paralleled in the records of cri-
minal law.
The case is this : no man denies,the au-
authority cf the court to commit for a crime ;
but no commitment ought to be made ex-
cept on prob.ible cause. This authority is
necessary ; because policy requires that liiere
should be some power to bind an accused
individual for his personal appearance, until
there shall have been sufficient time to ob-
tain witnesses for His trial. But this pow-
er ought to becontrouled as muchas possible.
Th: question in the present case is whe-
ther there is probable cause of guilt ; and
whether time ought to be allowed to collect
testimony against mc. This thne ought
generally to be limitted ; but there is no
precise standard on the subject ; and much
is of course left to the sound discretion of
the court. Two months a;'.o, however,
you declared that there had been time e-
nough to collect the evidence necessary to
commit on probable cause ; and surely if
this argument was good then it is still better
now.
As soon as a prosecutor has notice of a
crime, he generally looks out for witnesses.
It is his object to procure probable cause for
committing the accused. Five months ago,
a high authority deeclared there was a crime;
that I was at the head of it ; and it menti-
oned the very place too where t'ne crime
was in a atate of preparation. The princi^L
pal witness against me is said to be Mr.
Wilkinson. Now from what period is the
time to be computed \ If from the time I
w-as suspected, five months ; ii from the
time when.| was spzed, 3 months ; or is
it to be only computed from the time when
I was committed ? so that it is nearly 40
days since the notice must have arrived at
New-Orleans. But a vessel navigates the
coast from New Orleans to Norfolk in three
weeks. I contend, however, that witnesses
ought to be procured from the very time
when thecrimes are said to be committed.
There is then no apology for the delay of
the prosecution, as far as it respects the on-
ly person for whom an apology is attempt-
ed to be made.
There are other serious objections to my
situation. Must I be ready to proceed to
trial ? True sir, but, then it must be in
their own way. Are we then on equal
terms here ? Certainly not.
And again, as to affidavits, the U. S. have
compulsory process to obtain them ; but I
have no such advantage. An exparte evi-
dence then is brought before this court on
a motion for commitment. The evidence
on one side only is exhibited, but il I had
mine also to adduce, it would probably
contradict and counteract the evidence of
the United States; well sir, and these affi-
davits are put into the newspapers ; and
they fall into the hands of the grand jury.
I have no such means as these, sir ; and
where then is the equality between the go-
vernment and myself ?
The opinion of the court too is to be
committed against me. Is this no evil ?
A sufficient answer, sir, has been given
to the argument about my delay ; and its
disadvantages to myself have been ably de-
veloped. But my counsel has been charged
with declamations against the government
of the United States.—I certainly sir, shall
not be charged with declamation. Bat
surely it is an established principle, sir,
that no government is so high as to be be-
yond the reach of criticism. And it is more
particularly laid down, that this vigilance is
more peculiarly necessary, when any go-
vernment institutes a prosecution, and one
reason is on account of the vast dispropor-
tion of means which exists between it and
the accused. But if ever there was a case
which justified this vigilance, it is certainly
the present one, when the government has
displayed such uncommon activity. If then
this government has been so peculiarly ac-
tive against me, it is not improper to make
the assertion here, for the purpose of in-
creasing the circumspection of the court.
Mr. Burr observed, that he meant by
persecution, the harassing of anylndividu-
al contrary to the forms of law ; and that
his case unfortunately presented too many
instances of this description. He would
merely state a few of them. He said that
his friends had been every where seized by
the military authority ; a practice truly con-
sonant with European despotisms. He said
that persons had been dragged by cumpulso-
ry process before particular tribunals, and
compelled to give testimony against him.
His papers two had been seized. And yet
in England, where we say they know no-
thing of liberty, a gentleman who had been
seized and detained two hours in a back par
lour, hhS rthf'-ifm?r3 chVnia^rs to fne a metric.
o! 1000 guineas. He said that orders had
been issued Co kill him as he was descend-
ing the Mississippi and seize his property.
And yet they could only have killed his per-
son, if he had been formally condemned
for treason. He aid that even post offices-
had been broken open, and tobbed of hi*
papers; that in the Mississippi territory, even,
an indictment was about to be laid agiinst:
the post-master ,* that he had always takent
this for a felony ; but that nothing seemed
too extravagant to be forgiven by the amia-
ble morality of the government. Mr. Burr
said there seemed to be something mingled
in these proceedings, which manifested a
more then usual inclination to attain the ends
of justice. As far as related to himself, per-
haps, these things were of no account ; but
what was then to be said of those and othec
measures, such as the suspension of 1 he ha-
beas corpus act, which concerned the
whole nation ? If in the island of Great-
Britain, such a measure was calculated te»
produce so much disturbance, what kind of
sensation ought it to produce in this coun-
try I
Our president, said Mr. B. is a lawyeryand
a great one too. He certainty ought t»
know what it is that constitutes a war. Six
months ago he proclaimed that there was %
civil war ; and yet for six months have they
beeii hunting for it, aad still cannot find oner
spot where it existed. There was to be sure
a most terrible war in the newspapers ; but
no where else. When f appeared before the
grand jury in ICente.cky, 'hty had no charge
to bring against, me ; aul 1 was consequent-
ly dismissed. Wlici I appeared for a second
time before a grand jury (_in the Mississippi
Territory) there was nothing to appear a-
gainst me ; and the ju.'kv • en told the U.
States attorney that if lie rhri :,ot send uf»
his bill before the grand jury, he himself
would proceed to name as many of the wit-
nesses as he coiild, and bring it-before the
court. Still there was no pn-01" of war.
At length, however, the Spaniards invaded!
our territory ; and yet theie was no war.
But, sir, if there was a war, certainty net
man can pretend to say that the government
is able to find it oa'. The scene to whicii
they have now hunted it, is only.'SPO miles
distant ; and still there is no evidence to
prove this war.
Mr Burr requested the court to consider
the consequences which would now result
from a commitnu¦•« for treason ; that if he
were bound now, the law of Virginia decLr-
ed that he should so remain till the next
term ; that this delay was the very inconve-
nience he would wish to avoid ; anti ihal he
presumed he was to remain in prison si*
mouths, until they could find out this war_
