Burr, Blennerh&sset and Wilkinioa.
An interesting and imp ortnnt chapter
of history in about lo bo published in the
Hlcnnerhassot papers. The revelation of
tho Burr conspiracy has never been com
plete, end those papers for Blennerhas
sel.it U known, kept regularly a journal,
will do much towards the full exposure of
the place and pieparations of the ambit
ious traitor. A correspondent of the New
York Times in this connexion, furnishes
the following interesting points connected
with the history of Burr's great guilt.
Beforo Hltnnerhnsset first came to Am
erica, and whilo Hurr was yet a young
lawyer ir. New York, another intriguing,
ambitious and rather brilliant man ap
jiearel on the stage of Western politics,
This man was James Wilkinson, who
commanded the American army on the St
Lawrence in 1813. and who, at the time I
speak of was an officer of the army hold
ing important posts. In 1787 this man
went first to New Orleans, where he es
tablished a commercial house, and then
returned to Kentucky. Louisiana was
then a province of .Spain. The Spanish
authorities formed the idea of seperating
the western country from the Union, ana
making a Spanish empire in the valley of
the Mississippi. For this purpose they
interested Wilkinson, Judge Sebastian and
many other leading men in their enter
prise. The more patriotic of the commu
nity utterly rejected the plaa ; but there
is no doubt that many of the leading char
acters of Kentucky were implicated in the
"Spanish Association" which was then
formed. Judge Sebastian was 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
pher with tho Spaniards, and was amply
supplied with Spanish gold. Passing by
nearly twenty years, we find Wilkinson,
, with that aincular fatuity which at that
i time marked the military appointments of
k i . . - . . .
I , tbe Government, in command ot the army
; invading Canada on the Bt Lawrence, He
'had become dissipated and lost his ener
,ey. He was drunk in the cabin of the
jboat when tbe gallant Scott,' commanding
the advance, was already in the precincts
of Montreal, which he could have easily
taken. Just then Wilkinson ordered a
retreat, and the fruits of the campaign
ere lost. Armstrong was then Secretary
Xt War, and the disgrace of the army was
reflected upon him. , Half a dozen year
after the New York (teview was publish
ed, and in it, Armstrong, who held a most
ustio pen, reviewed the life and eon
duct of Gen James Wilkinson. Taking
up tho Spanish affair and the Burr busi
oss, Armstrong proved incontestibly
that Wilkinson was either a traitor to his
country or his friend. On his trial, how-
ver, Wilkinson had taken the last alter
native and excused It on the ground of
extraordinary patriotisa 1 The Spanish
Association and the proceedings at the
time constitute the preliminary chapter
to the Burr affair.
Burr, after the death of Hamilton, dis

o building un an empire on the Wes tarn
merely refer to the sort of characters Burr
dealt with especially as some of these
persons have become historical. On the
IlthofJuly 1S0-I, Burr shot Hamilton.
On the 2d of March, 1805, he took his
celebrated leave of the Senate. On tho
20th of April he was at Pittsburgh. FrortJ
Pittsburgh he went down the Uhio, and
passed over to Cumberland. In July he
spent a week with Andrew Jackson a
man, said Burr, in many points after my
own heart, in the course of this trip and
subsequent ones, his associates were James
Wilkinson, Jonathan Dayton, John Smith
(Senator from Ohio,) Andrew Jackson,
Samuel Swailwaut, Herman Blonnerhas
set, Comfort Taylor, Ac, These were all
men of remarkable speculative enterprise
and in their subsequent career have been
somewhat known to the people of (lie
United States, James Wilkinson has been
exhibited as a reckless, dissipated, un
principled man, John Smith was expelled
from the U.S. Senate. Samuel Swartwnul
became a notorious defaulter. Jonathon
Pay ton was a notorious Innd speculator.
Herman Blennerhnwt went forth a ruin
ed man, and bis wife was buried in Ne-y
ork by the charity of nn Irish Society.
Andrew Jiickson was, by the hnttle of New
Orleans, made Presiuent of tho United
a deist, when sick he inclined to Le a Cuth
olic. On his death bed he refused the
ministrations of tho ministers of the
Church of Kngland ; a priest of the Catho
lic Church was surreptitiously conveyed
into his chamber and the dissolute Charles
died in that faith. His brother James
openly professed that religion, and before
ho bad been a year on the throne lie
turned the whole influence of Die govern

Tho piotestants of Ireland, or perhaps
more strictly speaking, the presoyteriuns
of Ireland, took rcfugo within the cities
of F.nniskillcn and Londonderry. The

The Toll Gate of Life.
We are all on our journey, Tho world
through which wo are passing is in some
respects like a turnpike oil along which
Vice and Folly have erected toll-gales for
the accommodation of those who rhoose
to call s they go and there are very few
of all the hosst of travelers, who do not
occasionally stop a little at somo one or
another of them and consequently pay
more or less to the toll gatherers. Pay
more or less I sny, because there is a great
variety as well in the amount, as in the
kind of toll exacted at these different stop
ping places.
Pride and Fashion take heavy tolls of
the nune many a man has become a beg
gar Ly paying at their gates the ordi
nary rates they charges are heavy, and
the road that way is uono of the host.
Pleasure offers a very smooth, delight
ful road in the outset; she tempts tho
traveler with many fair promises, and
wins thousands, but tho takes without
mercy; like nn artful robbor, she allures
until she gets her victim in her power,
and then strips him of health and monoy,
and turns him off a miserable object, into
the worst and most rugged road of life.
Intemperance plays tho part of a stur
dy villiiiii. llo'b tho very worst toll-gathe
ererontho road; for he not only cets
from his customers their monoy and their
health, but ho lobs them of thoir verv

for the devoted town, was tho arrival of
succor from England. Across the river
wusplasedn boom by James' army ; the
river was also commanded by cannon.
The ships at length appeared in sight of
the town ; one of them succeeded in
breaking the boom, nnd ir. escaping the
cannonade. The Irish army raised (he
leg), nnd tho Protestant stronghold was
saved. The prentice bovs of Dr rry who
took a prominent part in the defence,
took the name of Orange boys. The next
year William landed in Ireland, and do
,'euted the nnny of James at the battle of
Boyno. Prominent among the forces of
William were the defenders of Perry, now
known ns 'Orangemen.' Tho Irish re
trieved n nnme sadly tarnished at the
Boyno in defending Limerick, A capit
ulation was clfocted ; tho Irish army had
a choice of going to Franco, and entering
the service of Louis XIV., or of joining
tbe army of William. They for tho most
part cho?e the former alternative; nnd
thsy left Ireland pros trate at the feet of
England- Tho conquest nnd exhaustion
were comidote. A whole century of mis
rule could not again arouse the peopl' to
resistance.
The Orangemen who performed so im
portant a part in the dufenco of tho Kng
lish in Ireland, wielded the power and the
patronage of the government: they year

justice. 'Why yes, 1 don't know but 1
have,' was the reply of the witness 'Do
you know what kind of spirits V 'Yes'
'How do yon know?' 1 kinder smelt it'
'Well' now' said the judge, straightening
himself up for a convincing answer, which
ho supposed would be given--' .vill you
ploaso tell me w hat kind of spirits it was?'
'Spirits of turpentine !' The explosion of
mirth that followed this answer fairly
shook the court-room ; and as soon ns it
subsided the witness wai discharged the
opinion being that his testimony was
not to the point.

One afternoon, about a year since, I wa
comfortably seated after a hard day's la
bor, heels over the grate, and cigpr in
mouth, thinking cf matters nnd things in
general, and of the fair partner who danc
ed ''that lost sot" with mo, in particular,
when my rrivacy wns intruded unon bv a
short but stout individual, habited in
coarse shoes, corduroy p'tnls, of ample
pattern, and a "brass coat with blue but
tons," Imagine to yourself the owner of
theso habiliments, and lo his outfit a very
small cup and a very hriic moustache, al
so, a pipe with a crooked stem and a bowl
capacious enough to contain half a pound
of fine cut nt least, and you will probably
arrive nt lhe same conclusion I did, name
ly tlmt the intruder was of the Teutonic;
'persuasion.' He nppearod to be some
what excited, aud without any unnecfs-wv
ry f rmality, removed his pipe, and broke
in abruptly with "Er you der man what
brints der dewspaper?"
"Not exactly," said I, " but if you wish
to favor the public with a communication
on any subject, I will perhaps be able to
accommodate you"
"Ynw, dnt is goot ; said he, "veil den, I

' No doubt," .aid I, "my friend. But
what do you expect me to do in tho mat

to love you after, spending eighty dollars
for 'hoops and things,' I don't see how it
can bo remedied."

"You send him to Hans Schniedor.

I prepared tho notice, read it to him,
and taxed him a dollar, without eliciting
any other comment than 'Yawrkttis
goot. I stipends ono oder dollar, but gits
niarriod mit a tarn Yankee frau no more

from his capacious vest pocket a match,
lighted his pipe, and took his departure,
smoking with a vigor which I hope conv
soled him.
