I do not think It i* the taste of Mr. Bnrt to be a politician, ere was nothing of the demagogue, or elecjneercrln his nature, Ho was too excluvo for that. But he loved the approbation IiIr fellow citizens and when tbey called in to office, strove with all his flno powers to Ivuiice their Interests.
