Burr, Blennerhasset and "Wilkinson.
, An interesting and imp oi tunt chapter
of history is about to be published in tho
Blennerlussot papers. Tho revelation of
the Hurr conspiracy has never been com
plete, nd these papers ror Plenncrhas
et.it if known, kept regularly a journal,
will do much towards the full cxpoiure of
the place and preparations of the ambit
ious traitor. A correspondent of tho New
York Times in this connexion, furnisher,
the following interesting points connected
with tho history of P.urr's great guilt:
Jneforo lUtnnerhaeset first came to Am
erica, and while Hurr was yet a young
lawyer in ew lork, another mtriuiiiL'

maomous ami rainer hruiiani man ap
peared on tho slago of Western politics,
TUis man was Jam Wilkinson, who
eonimar.;d the American array on the St
mwrence in lau. ana who, at the time I
peak of was an officer of the army hold-
ing important posts. In 1787 this man
went first to New Orleans, where lie es
tablished a commercial houso, and then
returned to Kentucky. Louisiana was
then a provmcs of Spain. Tho Spanish
uthoritiei formed the idea of soperating
the western country from the Union, and
making a Spanish empire in the valley of
iue fliissismppi. ror in is purpose they
interested Wilkinson, Judge Sebastian anil
many other leading men in their entor
priso. Tho mor patriotic of the commu
nity utterly rejected the plan ; but there
is no doubt thai many of the leadinc char
acters of Kentucky were implicated in the
'iparnsh Association" which wua then
formed. Judge Sebastian wa tried, and
found guilty of receiving two thousand
dollars per annum from the Spanish gov
ernment. - Wilkinson was also tried, but acquitted
for want of direct evidence. It was prov
ed, however, that he corresponded in cy-
ph r with the Spaniards, and was amply
supplied rith Spanish gold. Passing by
nearly twenty years, we find Wilkinson,
with that singular fatuity which at that
time marked the military appointments of
(MOeverrmeiit, in command of tho army
raTamng Canada on the St Lawrence. He
bad become dissipated and lost his ener
gy. He was drunk ia the cabin of the
boat when the gallant Scott, commanding
the advance, was already in the precincts
Of Montreal, which he could have oasily
taken. Just then Wilkinson ordered a
retroat and the fruiti 0f the campaign
were lost. .Armstrong was then Secretary
of War, and th disgrace of the army was
refloclod upon him. Half a doien yeart
after the New York Review was publish
ed, and in it, Armstrong, who hold a most
austic pen, reviewed the life and eon
4uctof God Jauuea Wilkinson. Taking
pp the Spanish affair and the Burr busi
ness, Armstrong proved inconteetibly
that Wilkinson was either a traitor to hi
country or his friend. On bit trial, how
ever, Wilkinson Lad taken tho last alter
native and excused it on the ground of

have done since. The material to be u.el
jwas the groat horde of adventurers ev-
icr ready for a now enterprise, and the ns-
I turned idea that the Western people would
be ready to separate from the Union if
they could secure the navigation of the
Misaiswi jij.i. There is most ahundtint evi .
dence to show that disunion, tiie separa
tion of the Western .States, was one of the
objects in view, but not the only one.
Burr buying lost all caste at tho North,
entered on a career of speculation. One

On the 2d of March, 1800, lie look hit

29lh of April he was at Pittsburgh. Frotr
Pittsburgh ho went down tho Ohio, and
passed over to Cumberland. In July he
spent wfek with Andrew Jackson a
man, said Burr, in many points alter my
own heart. In the course of thin trip and
subsequent ones, his associates were James
Wilkinson, Jonathan Dayton, John Smith
(Senator from Ohio,) Andrew Jackson,
Samuel Swartwaut, Herman Blennerhas
set, Comfort Taylor, tc. These were all
men of reinurkable speculative enterprise
and in their subsequent cureer have been
somewhat known to the people of the
United Slates, James Wilkinson has been
exliihiied as a reckless, dissipated, un
principled man, John Smith was expelled
from the U.S. Senate. Samuel Swartwaut
became a notorious defaulter. Jonathon
Dayton was a notorious land speculator.
Herman Blennerhosset went forth a ruin

Andrew Jackson was. by the battle of New

have at this lime as large a proportion of
corrupt, reckless men as there were in the
time of Adams and Jefferson. The truth
is that for many years subsequent to the
Revolution, tho word honor was substitu
ted for all viitue and all religion. Burr
and his companions were men of honoi?
It was simply to keep faith with their
hoop companions, and be ready to fight a
duel if they did not. Tho barbarism of
"honor" has disappeared, and among men
of character the higher and better motive
of religious principle has taken i'.s place.
The Toll Gate of Life.
We are all on our journey. The world
through which we are passing is mi some
respects like a turnpike all alonir wnich
Vice and Folly have erected toll-gates for
the accommodation of those who choose
to call as they go and there are very few
of till the host of travelers, who do not
occasionally stop a little at some one or
another of tliem and consequently pay
more or less to the toll gatherers. Pay
more or less I say, becauso there is a great
variety as well in tho amount, us in tho
kind of toll exacted at these diHerciit stop
ping places.

the road that way is none of tho best.

traveler with many fair promises, and
wins thousands, but she takes without
mercy; like an artful robber, she allures

and then Btrips bim of health and money,
anu turns liim oil a miserable object, into
tho worst and most rugged road of life.
Intemperance plays the part of a stur.
dy villian. He's tho very worst toll-gatho
erer on tho road ; for he not only gets
from his customers their money and their
health, but he lobs them of thoir very
brains. The men you meet on the road,
and ruined in frame and fortune, ere his
visitors. And so I might coon enumer
ating many others who gather toll of the
unwary. Accidents sometimes happen,
it is true, alone tho road, but those who
do not get through at least tolcrubly well,
you may be sure have been stopping by
the way at somo of these pluces. The

Orangemen, and their History.
Tho following sketch of tho origin of
the Order which has recently created such
i disturbance in the Arrangements made
' for the reception of tho Princj of Wales
in Canada, is taken from the I'.rooklyn
I Eagle, and conveys a historical idea of the
organization, which may not bo familiar
j to tho public generally.
The Orangemen of Ireland dato their
existence from tho year 1088, and name
, themselves alter William, Prince of Or
unge, SUdt holder of Holland ; and King
of England under the name of William
IH. Alter the death of Charles II. of
EngUnd, hisbrothei, James II., ascend
ed the throne. Charles lived a Protes
tant, but in heart ho alternated between
Deism and Cutliolicity ; when well he was
a deist, when hick he inclined to be a Cuth
olic. On his death bed he refused the
ministrations of the ministers of the
Church ot England ; a priest of the Catho
lic Church was surreptitiously convoyed
into his chamber uiid the dissolute Charles
died in that-faith. His brother James
openly professed that religion, and before
ho had been a year on tho throne he
turned tho whole influence of the govern
ment to tho re-establishment of Cutholi
cy. Tho whigs and lories united in ins
vitingover William, Prince of Orange,
who had married Mary, duughter of
James. He landed with 15,000 men.
James fled from his kingdom without a
struggle in its defence, and llliam, con
jointly with his wife, occupied the vacant
throne. Jrcluud and Scotland, with a de
votion utterly worthy of better cuiue,
adhered to the fortunes of James, and in
10811 ho lan Jed in Ireland with a small
French army, and assisted by the native
Irish, he nearly regained possession of
that portion of his dominions.
The piotestants of Ireland, or perhaps
more strictly speaking, the pres'oy terians
of Ireland, took refuge within tho cities
of Enniskillen and Londonderry. The
forces of Jamus were concentrated on tho
two devoted cities. The (Jovernor of
jonionue.Ty was in lavor ol uiviiil' un

" ,auKa 1,1 luo governor anu me assaults
sent to tlio royal camp, and the to-vn was
defended by the people under the lead of
a clergyman named Walker, with a reso
lution never surpassed. Proposition after
proposition of James was received by tho
peoplo famishing with hunger, with ries
of "no surrender." The people were
starving; the flesh of horses, dogs, cats,
and of rats even, was a luxury purchasa
ble scarcely by money. The only hope
for the devoted town, was the arrival of
succor from England. Across the river
was placed a boom by James' army ; the
river was ulso commanded by cannon.
The ships at length appeared in sight of
the town ; one ot them succeeded in
breaking the boom, and ir. escaping the
cannonade. The Irish army raised the
Hieg-, and the Protestant stronghold was
saved. The prentice boys of 1'crry who
took a prominent part in the defence,
took the name of Orange boys. The next
year William landed in Ireland, and de
feated the army of James at the battle of
Boyno. Prominent among the forces of
William were the defenders of Perry, now
known as 'Orangemen.' The Irish re
trieved a name sadly tarnished at the
Boyno in defending Limerick. A capit
ulation was effected: the Irish army had
a choice of going to France, and entering
the service of Ix)uis XIV., or of joining
tho army of William. Tliey for the most
part chore the former alternative; and
they left Ireland prontralo at tiio feet of
England The conquest and exhaustion
were complete. A whole century of mis
rule could not again mouse the people to
resistance.
The Orangemen who performed so im
portant a part in the defence of the Eng
lish in Ireland, wielded the power and the
patronage of the government: they year
ly paraded tho streets of the towns Riid
cities, playing tho "llovno Water." "Ca-
oypie Lio iown," and other party tunes,
ana Hinging into the face ot tho down
trodden raco tho evidence of their defeat.
The policy of England bus changed. But
the Orangemen hold on with tenacity to
the system which placed in their hands
power and influence, and left at their feet
the subject race; evcty concession to the
mass ot tho people has been resisted by
them. From being the tool of the gov
ernment they have become its chief ob
staclo in cafrying out the so-called re.
forms in the administration of Irish affairs.

A writer from
New York to a Boston
paper says :
"Ono who frequents Broadway or
any of our fashionable promenades will
notice tho daily walk ofagentleman who
saunters leisurely ulong, lollowed quite
closely by a man apparently bent under
70 years, and stooping so constantly as to
seem almost crouching us he walks. He fol
; lows his leader like a shaddow, and goes
, into all possible places with his attendant.
1 he leeLle und decrepid man is John Ja
cob Astor, son of the millionaire John Ja
cob Astor. II o was a bright and promi
sing boy, and until seventeen years of uge,
gave promise of much genius. Reports
vary as to tho ciuse of bis mental decline;
but the best accounts attribute it to tho
mental forcing system, ami to tho intense
study that occinied his former years.
But trim it is that he has been for years a
hopeless imbecile. Ample provision has
always been made for all the comfort ho
is able to enjoy, An elegant mansion on
Fourteenth street is hip abode. It is fit
ted up with eleggi.ee and taste. A yard,
comprising an entire square, secures all
the privacy that is needed. Room for
walking, riding on horse back, and for ra
creation, is afforded. Horses, carriage.,
and servants, wait on his cull. The gen
tleman who has the cure of Mr. Astor has
long devoted himself solely to him. He
litis such command over him that he can
guide ami control liim nt will, winch no
one else can do. Ample compensation is
given to the attendant. He has tho
house and all ths servants, the equipage.
and everything at his command. Beside
n liberal provision made for liim in '.heel-
der Mr Astor's will, he receives above tho
house and living the sum of $0000 per an-
num. But he is not alone an hour. Slee-1
ping, waking, walking, at homo, or abroad,
or riding, Mr. Astor is with liim, makes
one at his table, is ono of the invited
guests ut an places, and in all his move
ments follows him. The fa.rilj of Mr.
Astor ore kind and tender to their rela
tion, visiting bim daily, seeing that ull his
wants are at'ended to, and in tho most
scrupulous miuiner carrying out all the
wishes of tho father in regard to one ivhom
he called in his will "his unfortunate
son."
Thk Excitement or Intoxication. The
love of narcotics and intoxicating com-
pounds is so universal, that we may almost
count as an Instinct. Every nation has a
greater or les degree ; some i i the shnpe
of opium, gome of smoke, some in drink,
Foinc in snuff: but from the equator to
the sr.ow line it exists a trilling change
in dress, according to the climate, nut al
ways tho same nee, always tho same de
sire. Kings have decreed punishment on
their own side; priests have anathema
tised on the siiiritual : law -makers havo

when tny privacy was intruded upon by u
short but stout individual, habited "in
coarse shoes, corduroy p'liils, of ample
patlmi, mid a "brass coat with blue but
tons," Imagine to yourself the oivin r of
these habiliments, and to bis outfit a very
small cap and a very large moustache, al
so, a pipe with a crooked stem and a hos t
capacious enough to contain half a pound
of fine cut at least, nnd you will probably
arrive at the same conclusion I did, name

'persuasion.' He appeared to be some
what excited, and without any unncci s a
ry fi rmality, removed his pipe, and broke
in abruptly with "Er you dcr man what
brints der dewspaper?"
"Not exactly," said I, " but ifyoit wish'
to favor the public with a communication'
on any rubject, I will perhaps be able to'
accommodate you"
"Yaw, dat is goot; said he. "veil den, I

' No doubt." said I. "my friend. But'

for 'hoops and things,' I don't see how it
can be remedied."

"You send him to Hans Schnleder .
