The Daughter of Aaron Burr
Cunwpoodiros• tim Paisylvanja Zaqulrer
An item of news just now going the
rounds relates that a sailor who dies'
recently in Texas confessed on his
death bed that he was one of a crew of
mutineers who some forty years ago
took post,easion of a brig on its passage.
from Charleston to New York, and
caused all the ottloers and passengers
to walk the plank. For forty
,years the
wretched man has carried about with
him the dreadful secret, and died at
last in an agony of despair.
What gives thin story additional „in
terest is tilt:fact, that, the vessel referred
to is the one on which Mrs. Theouocia
Allmon, the beloved daughter of ASIOII
Burr, took passage for New York, fur
the purpose of meeting her parent in
the darkest days of his existence, and
which, never having been heard of, was
supposed to have foundered at sen.
The dying sailor professed to remem
ber her well ; said that she was th 9.
last who perishedrewid that he never
forgot her look - of doepair aershe 'took
the last step from the fatal plank. On
regaling this account, I regarded it as a
netion• ' bet, on conversing with an
officer af the navy, he assures me of its
probable truth, and states that on one
of his plumage, home . some years ago
his vessel brought two piratea•in irons,
who were subsequently - executed at
Norfolk for recent offcnues, and, who,
before their execution, confessed that
they had been members of the same
crew, and participated in the murder
of Mrs. Allston and her companions.
What chiefly caused my scepticism
on the subject was the fact that Mr.
Parton, the recent biographer of Barr,
leaves the fate of the daughter envel
oped in mystery, and closes the record
of her noble and beautiful life with her
emblrkatioti on the-brig, which he de
clares has never since been heard frotn.
I am at a loss how to understand, if
the confession alluded to by my naval
friend was made public, and it undoubt
edly was, bow Mr. Parton could have
failed, among his extensive and ind;:s
trious researches, to discover the fact.
Whatever opinion may be entertained
of the father, the memory of the daugh
ter mustiever be revered as ono of tho
loveliest and most excellent of Ameri
can women,and the revelation of her un
timely fate can only serve to invest that
memory with a more tender and mel
ancholy interest. •

The warm weather sill shortly be
here, and every one will be seeking the
refreshing influence of a cool and shady
place, whereunto they can retreat from

readers a few hints, concermng the
cooling of their houses. The first ne
cessity is s thorough draught This
can always be obtained hyoponing eve
ry door and window in the basement,
the top of every wincitivt'abeve, and by
throwing eaeh doori-wide opeuk but
above all be sure that the trap door oa
the root is open,.and there is plenty of
air room from it down stairs, so that,
whichever be the direction of the wind,
there will be at least one ascending cur
rent, of air in the house. Another
requisite is shade. Our common slat
shutters anal% er well for the windows,
but the cheapest and most' convenient
shelter for the roof is to cover it thick
ly with straw, dried reeds, or - rnshes.
These will resist the ittitience of the
noon-day sun, and keep the garret al
most as cool as the basement. One
of the most, simple methods, and at
the nine time cheapest means of artifi
cially lowering the temperature of the
is to wet a cloth of any size, the
larger the better, and suspend it. in the
place you want cooling; lot a room be
well ventilated and the temperature
will sink from ten to twenty degrees
in less than half an hour. The above
hints will be useful to many, and as
a last suggestion we will inform the
reader that in summer it is well to
keep a solution of chloride of lime in
the huuso, and occasionally sprinkle it
in the more frequented parts, as the

Entombment Alive in India.
A writer in lloyseholef W'nsds 'gives
nn o,veount of' his " Wandoringe in In
dia:"
At Agra ho was introduced to Lady
Singh, in whose garden was discovered
the remains of a former residence: Of
this he says: " In several of the niches
(in an underground room) were little
lamps, such mare burnt apon the tombs
of Moslems, and a hookah and a pair of
marble chains were found in this' sub
terratieotts Apartment, of' which ; the
eky was pow the root , While ex
amining the walls I observed that Upon
one etde there was a ledge about six
feet high from the floor (and carried oat
therefrom) and about a fbot to width.
Pie ledge, which was of brick) and
pter, resembled a huge mantle-piece,
and was continued from one end te the
other. leaked the Rajah the maim° of
such a structure in the apartment- Re
replied that he did not know, nor could
any of the Workmen account for it.;
one of them, however, took a pick-axe
and dug out a iiortion, when, to' my
surprise and horror, I dismonred that,
in this wall, a human being had peen
bricked up. The skin was bull Upon
the bones, which were soverod with a
costly dress of while muslin, spangled
all over with gold; around the neck
' was a string of pearls ; .on the wrists
and ankles were gold bangles, and en
the feet were a pair of slippers, em
broidered all over with silver wire or
thread ; such slipper* as only Mohan'.
medan women of rank or wealth, can
afford to wear. The body resembled a
well preserved mummy. The features
were very distinct and were . thee° of a
woman, whose ago could not., at the
time of her death, have exceeded eigh
teen or nineteen years. The head ;was
partially covered with' a white dregs.
Long black hair was taill clinging to
the scalp, and parted across the fore
head and carried behind the ears.' It
was th 3 most, horrible and glutetlY fig
ure that. I ever beheld. workmen
appeared to take this discovery an a
matter of course; or rather to regard
tt only with reference to the gold , and
silver ornaments upon the skeletote'and
it was with great diliiculty that I could
prevent, their stripping it turtis;ith.
As for the Rajah, he simply smiled and
coolly remarked : A case of jealousy.
Her husband was jealous of her, and
thought her guilty, and punished her
thus ; bricked her up alive in this wall,
with no room to move about, only
standing room. Perhaps she deserved
it---perhaps she was plotting against
his life; perhaps she wan innocent ;
who can say ?-11indoos as well as Mo
hammedans, pnnish their wives in that
way ' You mean to say that they
used to do no in former times, pruvio:w
to Bratsk rule in India; but, such a
thing could not occur in our time ?'
'lt does not occur so often as it did;
but it does occur sometimes even in
these days.—How do you know what

further into the wall. It, strikes Jae
that we shall find some more of thane'
Orders were given accordingly to the
workmen to remove, with great care,
the whole of the ledge; in short, to
pull away Its entire facie. This was
done, and how, shall I describe the aw
ful spectacle then presented ! In that
wall there were no less than live bodies
—fonr besides that already alluded!to.
One of the number was a young man,
who, from his dress and the jewels out
his finger-bowie, must, hate been a per
son of high rank, perhaps the lover of
one, or 'both Of the young women, or
he had been bricked up between two of
them. The others•were evidently thi%

you have hoard, I shall be unable to in

a man of action rather than words, but
yet I an usually able, upon proper oc
casions, to give a reason for the faith
hat isiin cae., I. am always glad to
meet my friends, and I confess not to be
indifferent to their good opinion. I
am gratified to moot you here to-night,
betanse I hail 'yon as friends, and feel
that yoh sympathize• with me, and re
joice at the Action which has recently
taken place in the Congress of the
United States. I have not given any
open demonstration* of rejoicing, but I
mist oonfess to you, fellow citizens,
that I have on several occasions since
the pasoge of the Conference Kansas
bill feltian impulse to cry out, "Glory :
Hallelujah :" [Cheers.] Why ehoul.l
we not rejoice at that action ? What is
Kansas that she should have caused all
this turmoil and confusion throughout
the land for the last four years? What
is Kansas that she should during the
last four months, have obstructed the
general business of the country ? What
is Kansas that she should endanger the
peace and happinoss of this great and
glorious confederacy of ours? Better,
far, better, that the foot of the white
man should never be sot upon the soil
of Sandia than tieitllree things should
be: [Applause.) Yes, low citizens,
it would. be better that no white man
shauld.he allowed to enter Kansas, and
that it should he turned over forever to
the wild beasts and the savages of the
forest—better that the' earth should
op4n, and that the whole Territory,
from one boundary to the othbr, should
he "swallowea up in eternal oblivion—
thmi that the peace and harmony of
this conntry ehoeld he endtineered, or
its best interests imperiled [
" Aut's too :"]
' Then, fellow-citizens, we have cause
for rejoteing that something has been
done to settle this question. ' The Inca
sure which has just passed ought to se
cure peace, and restore harmony among
the different sections of the confeileruey.
I dli not say that it will do it, for there,
1
arc-bad Men, who for evil purposes and 1 :
for selfish ends, will oppose the wisest 1
sad beet measures in order to accom
plish their designs; and they may sot
thus in reference to this, as they have
in rteferenee to other just measures that
haVe pasted the Congress of the United
States. Four years ago a great meas
ure wasv. apactid by Congress which

1 dear to the heart of every American
I
citizen, because it is a principle that
1 underlieti all one republican institutinns

right' of span to *self-government. And
yet this ipportant act, which, if it had
been carried into execution faithfully
according to its terms, would have re
nurtld police to the tenantry on the ques

mad fanatics, who for political purposes
have raised the shout of "bleediug - Kan-

in termed and confusion ever since.—

The truth Is, fellow-citizens, the Black
Republicans deceived themselves. They i
dug a pit for others to fall into, and, I
unfortunately for them, fell into it
themselves. They may have supposed 1

TWO. DOLLARS A-YEAR
the under no circumstances wore any
more slam States to be admitted into
the Union. That was substantially the
platform upon which they stood in my
own country end throughout the north
ern States- But what have we soon
recently ? For mere party purposos
we have seen thorn stultify themselves
by voting to admit Kansas as a slave
State, provided the people interested
should decide in favor of it. How dif
ferent this from the position they have
claimed to occupylefore the people
?
Who can now beßeve intheir sincerity?
Are we to understand that they lave
abandoned their former position, or was
their late act a mere political ruse I I
suspect the latter. I fear they are ac
tuated by no higher motives than the
mere accomplishment of political and
party ends. I obj ect not to the act
they have done; only refer to it to
show their inconsistency, and that they
are ready to do anything in their power
to enziesimise and imams den Democratic
party. No wonder they feel.exasperat
ed. No wonder they are so ready to
abuse and misrepresent, I know that
I come in for a full Ware, but I care
nothing for it. I regard it as little as
I do the passing breeze. There is a
prompect of the country's havinget little
quiet and rest from slavery agitation,
arid, 'tenet+, they are alarmed, for that
is, of all things, what they do not want.
Agitation, discord, and ounfusion is
their element. Give the country peace,
and they languish and die. They will
make a spasmodic straggle to keep up
a diaturbanee. Already they are mite
repre+enting the bill, and it Ma remark
able fact, that almost every of
they nmike is answered by their own
record. Does it admit a slave Stuteon
condition? They so voted themselves.
Dues the preamble recognize that the
people of Kansas, through their dele
gates at beeompton, framed a constite
tier, which is republican in form? The
Ileum) bill; for which they all Voted,
did exactly the same thing. So did the
Senate bill. The language in that re
spect is the same in all of them. 1)o
they say that the bill offers a bribe in
lands to the people of Kansas to accept
the Lecempton constitution? SJ then
did the Crittenden amendment, t'or
which they all voted; for the amount
given is the same in each, and is no
more than usually given to new States,
and which every body knows KIIIIRAS
will get whether alto comes in now with
this constitution or
you
under
come other. Have you no c,oritidence
in the intelligence of the American peo
ple, that they resort to - these expedients
to get up a prejudice against this meas
ure? They will again bo doomed, as
they ha l e oft-times been before, to die
appointineut. They have openly avow
ed that they will assail this bill, and
they evidently moan that the slavery
agitation shall not cease, if they can
help it, until it has alienated the. people
of the North from the people of the
South, and sapped the very foundations
of the republic. The people cannot fail
to see the evil taintlenetof these 'things
and the mitiehievoutenatnite of-glair do
*signs, and will, I Trait sad believe, bold
them. Ittarao49.llo apiaa v the ptibilcolieace,

tell - ow -citizens, I am not to be caught
by any anti-Democratic traps'. It is
not the first time that sash traps have
boon sist, for the purpose of catching
Donocrata., A few years ago an insti
tution sprun g up in this country . which
endeavored to destroy and wipe out
the Demooratte party. AU at once the
enebritat of laemeeraey became fearfolly
itiarrqe4l WA the Pope should come over
atalaake this country; and they banded
Ogetter with secret oaths, and assem
bled at night, when honest mon ought
to have been in their beds, An barns,
and out-houses, and. pit-holes, and oat
of-the-wity plates, and they thougitt
that by appealing to religious and social
frejriiiicee, and ygrips and tigns, and
other tomfoolery, they wonid entrap a
good many. Democursttr: Well,- perhaps
they didLeateb- a few, more than they
were able to keep, But they could not
catch me. I never would join in any
erneade Soinat, Italian on aecowit of the
place-of ins nativity or his rtiligion. I
gyoided that trap, and I have also avoid
ed this recent trap ) and I intend to
avoid all traps ofR similar nature, and
I advise you all to do likewise. I was
raised in the western country; I have
seen a good deal of the wilderness and
know seinething, about huiiting. lam
pretty well up to all sorts of traps in
tine forest. Many is the time that I
have run the " varmint." into his hole
in a hollow tree, or in the ground ; and
when I got him treed, as we call it iu the
west. I could always tell whether it was
fur or hair that I was after. I could
tell what the animal was by the signs.
Now, when the Black Republicans set
this last trap and invited mu to come i
into it, I said to myself I beg to be ex•
ru.ieLl: I had no objection to side along
up ilea renough to look into the en trance
to it and see what the slave were; hut,
that was as far as I would go.
Thu signs did not suit tile. I saw
neither fur nor hair, but any quantity
of wool, and then there was an odir not
at all agrotable to my oliaetorius,—
