TRIAL OF AARON BURP-, | ]
(Continued by adjournment and held at the ".:-
pitol in the hall of the house of Beteg, -tcs.)
for high treason against the United
States.
Conclusion of Gen. Eaton's Testimony.
I pass over here, a conversation which took
place bet een col. i'urr and myself, res-
pecting a central revolution, as it is decided
to be irreleveiit by the opinion of the bench.
(Mr. Hay . You allude to a revolution for
overthrowing the government at Washing-
ton and of revolutionizing the eastern states.)
I « as passing over that to come down to
the period when I supposed he had- relin
quished that design, and returned to his
project in the west. I was thoroughly con-
vinced myself, that such a project -•¦ as alrea-
dy so far organized, as to be dangerous, and
t at it would require an effort to suppress it.
For in additi n to positive asssurances that
colonel Burr had of assistance and co-ope-
ration, he said that the vast extent of ter-
ritory of the United States beyond the
mountains which offered to adventurers
t gether with a view on the mines of Mex-
ico, would bring adherents to him from all
quarters of the union. The sttuati n in
which these communications and the impres-
sions they made upon me, placed me in,
was peculiarly delicate, i had no overt act
to produce against col. Burr. He had given
me nothing upon paper, nor did I know of
any person in the vicinity who had received
similar communications, and whose testimo-
ny might support mine. He had mention-
ed to me none, as principally and decidedly
engaged with him but general Wilkinson ;
a Mr. Alston, who I afterwards learnt was
his son-in-law ; and a Mr. Ephraim Kibby,
who I learnt was a late captain of Rangers
in Wayne's army. Of general W. Burr
said much as I have stated ; of Mr. Alston
very little, but enough to satisfy me that he
was engaged in the pr ject ; and of Kibby
he said that he was brigade major in the vi-
cinity of Cincinnati (whether C. in Ohio or
in Kentucky I know not) who had much
influence with the militia, and had already
engaged the majority of the brigade to
which he belonged, who were ready to
march at Mr. Burt's signal. Mr. Burr
talked of this revolution .is a matter of right,
inherent in the people and constitutional; a
revolution which would rather be advanta-
geous than detrimental to the Atlantic states;
a revolution which must essentially take
place ; and for the operation of which the
present crisis was peculiarly favorable ; that
there was no energy to be dreaded in tiie
general government, and his conversations
denoted a confidence, that his arrangements
were so well made that he should meet no
opposition at New-Orleans ; for the army
1 and the chief citizens of that place were rea-
dy to receive him. On the solitary ground
upon which I stood, I was at a loss how to
conduct myself, though not at a loss as
respected my duty. I durst not place my
lonely testimony in the balance against the
weight of colonel Bun's character, for by
turning the tables up tit me, v.hich I thojght
any man capable of such a project might
very conscientiously do, I should sink under
the weight. 1 resolved therefore with my-
self to obtain the removal of Mr. Burr from
this country, in a way honorable to him.
and on this I did consult him without Ins
knowing my motive. Accordingly 1 waited
on the president of the United States, and
after a desultory conversation in which I
aimed lo draw his attention to the we.it, I
said to him (1 took the liberty of suggesting
to the president) that I th u. lit col. liuir
outiht to be removed from the country, be-
cause 1 considered him dangerous in it.
The president a.^ked where we should send
him. I said to England or Madrid, though
it has been said in some publications that I
added Cadiz. The president without any
positive expression (in such a matter or de-
licacy) seemed to tftiak the trust too impor-
tant and expits.ed something like a doubt
about the integrity of Mr. B. I frankly
told the president that perhaps no person
had stronger grounds to suspect that integ-
rity than 1 had ; but that 1 believed his pride
: ot ambition h.id so predominated over his
other passions, that when piaced on an eroi-
ence and put on his honor, a respect to
himself would secure his fidelity. I per-
ceived that the subject was disagreeable to
the president and to bring him to my point
in the shortest mode and in a manner which
would point to the danger; I said to him, if
col. B. was not disposed of, we should in i3
months have an insurrection, if not a rcvo-
on the waters of the Mississippi. The pre-
sident said he had too much confidence in
the information, the integerity, and at-
tachment of the people of that country to
the union, to admit any apprehensions of
thai kind. The circumstance of no inter-
rogatories being made to me, I though, im-
posed silence upon me at that time and
place. Here, sir, I beg indulgence to de-
clare my motives for recommending that
gentleman to a foreign mission at that
time, and in the solemnity with which I
stand here, I declare that Col. B hen I returned, found that
; new difficulties had occurred to an adjust-
I ment. Leaving out the sums which I had
advanced, the government had a balance
! against inc. Tlie last session of congress
has provided for the payment and couniussi-
oiieis have settled it.
Mr. Martin. .What balance did you re-
ceive ?— A. That is my concern, sir. Mr.
Burr. What was the balance against you •
Mr. E. (To the court) is that a proper ques-
tion, sir? Mr. Burr. My object is manifest.
I wish to show the bias » Inch has existed
on the mind of the witness. C. J. saw no
objections to the question. Mr. E. I can-
not say to a cent or a dollar: 5ut I have re-
ceived about 10,000 dollars. Mr. Burr.
When was the money received ? A. About
March last. Q^ You mentioned Miranda.
•Where did you understand he --ias gone to>?
A. On the benevolent project of revolutio-
nizing the Spanish pr vinces. CL What
part of them ? A. Caraccas. I had some
reason too to know something of that pro-
ject ; because I too was invited to j ait in
that. He too was to have been a little em-
peror ; he might have been troublesome to
us • and of course when I asked you what
was to be done with him, you observ-
ed, " hang him." CL Did you undeistand,
I w as to do all at once ; to execute the
central project too as well as those iii the
west ? A. I have no objections to answer-
ing tliat ; but it will be nothing in your fa-
vor. When col. B. was speaking of a cen-
tral revolution, not much was said about
his revolution in the west. Had ihe other
been effected, I doubt much whether you
would have been willing to have separated
that part. Q_,You spoke of a command.
A You staled what I have already menti-
oned, that you were assured, from the ar-
rangements which you had made, that an
army would be ready to appear, when you
went to the waters of the western country.
I recollected part icularly the name of Ephraim
Kibby. You asked me about his spirit.
You asserted that his brigade was ready to
join you, and that the people also in that
country were ready to co-operate. You
spoke of your riflemen, your infantry, your
cavalry. It was with the same view, y u
mentioned to mc that man (pointing to gen.
Wilkinson just behind him) was to have
been the fiist to aid you ; and Irom the
sal me view* you have perhaps mentioned
me.—Mr. Martin objected to tbe witness
interposing his own opinions in this man-
ner. Mr. Hay. Some allowance is to be
made for the feelings of a man of honor.
Mr. Eaton b wing apologised to the court
lor the warmth of his manner. M. Burr.
You spi ke of my revolutionizing the west-
ern states—A". Your line was to be the
Alleghany mountin. You were certain a-
bout Keatucky and Tennessee ; but express-
ed some doubts about Ohio ; I well reco-
lect that on account of the reasm which
you gave : that they were too much ol a
pioddina, industrious people to engage in
y ur plans. Q_ How was this business to
be effected ? A. I understood that your a-
.'.emswere in the western country ; that the
commander in chief was ready to co-operate
with his,army ; and that these with .
adventuters that would join you,
compel the states to a separation. > ..eed
you seemed to Consider I\;cw ' j as al-
ready yours and that from .;!,; _.oint you
would make conquests a -i.,olidate your
empire. (^ Was it after ail this, that you
recommended me to a 1 1 'nbassy ? A- Yes;
and because I thought it the only way to
avert a civil war. (^ Did you communicate
your recommendation to me .' A. Yes :
you seemed to absent to the proposition.
Gt. What had become of your command ?
a. That I-had disposed of myself. 6t. Did
you u:id( .^r.iidthat you had given me a de-
finitive answer ? A. No ; after yon hud de-
velopnu yourself, I determined to use you
until 1 got every thing out of you ; and on
(he principle that "when innocence is in
danger to break faith with a bad man is not
fraud but virtue." Ql. Did you then think
that your proposition as to a foreign embas-
sy which was so incompatible with my own
plans, would be received by me with indif
ference, had -«-a0andoiied the project J a.
You seemed to me to want some distinguish-
ed place : as to the mode, you were indiffer-
ent : and you seemed to acquiesce in the
plan of a'foreign embassy. Mr. Hay. You
said that you had received about r.0,000 dol-
lars from the government. The act of con-
gress uid not give you a dei-nitiye sum —a.
The act of congiess gave the accounting of
liet-rs the power of settling with me, tinder
the inspection of the secretary of state ; un
der whose department I had served, and the
seukiceut was accordingly made.
Mr. Eaton was followed by Commodore
Thbmas Truxton, who was introduced to
show the intentions and the turn of mind of
the prisoner, about the beginning of the
winter of 18O5 6. The Messrs. Morgans
were then called to carry on the regular
ciiaiu of events, but oiie of them being ab
sent, Peter Taylor (.'lauiurhassett's garden-
er) was introduced, to prove the overt act on
Blannerhassett's island.
On Wednesday, the examination proceed
ed; col. G. Morgan, gen. I. Morgan, and Mr.
Thomas Morgan, (tiie lather and two sons)
from tne neighborhood of Pittsburg, Penn-
sylvania, wt re introduced, also to show the
turn 0/ mind of the prisoner, about the lat-
ter end of August, 1806 ; when he visited
Col. Morgan's house on his way to the wes-
tern country. Tneyr were followed by Ja-
cob Allbright who had been a workman on
I'lanneihasst-tt's island, and who deposed as
to the overt act ; aiid Wiiliain Love, who
had been H. IHaanerhasseu's groom. In.
the course of Love's examination, the im-
portant question was suggested, how iar ,
testimony could be introduced for the pur- I
pose of proving facts without the district of I
Virginia ; which question was referred lor a
subsequent discussion. The examination en
this clay was closed by tlie testirrlbny of Mr.
Dudly Woodbridge, who had H. Blanner-
hassett's Partner in a store at Marietta (O.)
and who gave a particular history of the
building of the boats on the Muskingum and
the laying in the provisions.
On Thursday, Mr. Burr observed, that the
nature cf the overt act had been seen from
the evidence before the court ; and that the
prosecutors had even acknowledged that
they should not prevent the overt act by
actual hostilities, and he himself was not
present at the time this overt act was said
to have been committed. If they were mil-
taken in these points ; if it was shown that
they had grossly mistaken the decision of
the supreme court, it were better to save the
time of the court, the expence and inconve-
nience, by arresting the progress of his prose-
cution. Some discussionensued upon the pro-
priety of taking up the argument, which was
waved for the present; when Simeon Poole'
wdio had been on the .Ohio side of the rivt.,
opposite to Blannerhassett's island, on the
evening and night when the boats departed ;
and Maurice Bellnap and M'dmund P. Uanat
who were at the same time on the island
were respectively examined. The examina!
tion was then suspended, to make way for
an argument on one of the points suggested
by Mr. Burr. Mr. VVickham opened the
argument and spoke 4 hours, until 4 o'clock
when the court adjourned. The discussion
will this day be resumed.
The two following appear to be the pro-
positions supported by the prisoner's coun-
sel : 1. That the accused not having been
present at the time of the o-vcrt act, no evi-
dence can be adduced to prove his connection
with that overt act. 3. That an overt act
not being proved, the prosecutor entirely
fails.
