Burr’s curt, rude and offensive reply
began with intimating that Hamilton’s
letter was greatly deficient in that sin
cerity and delicacy which be professed
so much to value. The epithet in
question, in the common understanding
of it, implied dishonor. It having
been affixed to Burr’s name, upon
Hamilton’s authority, be was bound to
say whether be bad authorized it, either
directly or by uttering expressions or
o|Hitinn8 derogatory to Burr’s honor.
It was apparent from this letter, and
it was subsequently distinctly stated by
Van Ness, that what Burr required was

of Burr.
MISCEllAHKOUS.
[FromHildreth’sHistory of the U. Slates]
DEATH OF IAIILT01.
Disappointed, and all hia hopes
blighted, as he believed, by Hamilton’s
instrumentality, Burr l»ecame eager
for vengeance. Humiliating was the
contrast between himself ami Hamil
ton, to whom, in his anger, he was
ready to ascribe, not bis political de
feat merely, but his blasted character
also. Though fallen from his former
station of eotimutuding influence in
'the conduct of affairs, Hamilton still
enjoyed the unbounded confidence of
a party, outnumbered indeed, but too
respectable to be despised; while, of
his bitterest opponents, none, with any
pretentious to character or candor,
doubted his honor or questioned bis in
tegrity. Burr, on the other band, saw
himself distrusted ami suspected by
everybody, and jnst about to sink alike
into political annihilation and pecu
niary ruin. Two month’s meditation
on this desperate state of affairs,
wrought up his cold, implacable spirit
to the |K>int of risking his own life to
take that of his rival. He might have
even entertained the insane ho|>e—for,
though cunning and dexterous to a re
markable degree, lie bad no great in-
tcl'.cct—that Hamilton killed or dis
graced, and thus removed out of the
way', he might yet reti ieve his despe-
rUe fortunes.
Among other publications made in
the course of the late contest were two
letters by Dr. (’ooper, a zealous parti-
7.nn of Lewis, in one of which it was
allcdged that Hamilton bad spoken of
Burr as a “dangerous man, who ought | could have exjiected the general disa
rm to be tins ted with the reins of gov- | vowal which lie demanded, this oiler
ernment” In the other letter, after was pronounced unsatisfactory and a
repeating the above statement, Coop- mere evasion; and again, a second
er added: “1 could detail to you a | time, disavowing in the same breath
more despicable opinion which Gen.
Hamilton has expressed of Mr. Burr.”
Upon Uie latter passage Burr seized
the means of forcing Hamilton into a
duel. For his agent and assistant
therein he selected Win. P. Van Ness,
a young lawyer, one pf his most at
tached partisans, Mid not less dark, de
signing, cool and implacable than him
self. Van Ness was sent to Hamilton
with a copy of Cooper’s printed letter,
mid a note from Burr, insisting upon
“ a prompt and unqualified acknowl
edgement or denial of the use of any
expressions which would warrant Coo
per’s assertion.”
Perfectly well acquainted with Burr
and Van Ness, and perceiving as well
from Van Ness’s conversation ns from
Burr’s note, a settled intention to fix a
quarrel upon him, Hamilton declined
any immediate answer, promiug a re
ply in writing at his earliest conven
ience. In that reply he called Burr’s
attention to the fact that the word “ de
spicable,” however in its general signi
fication it might imply imputations up
on personal honor as to which expln-
natoms might be asked, yet, from its
coonection, as used in Dr. Cooper’s
letter, it apparently related merely to
qualiicationa for political office, a sub-
jeetp aa nothing was said about the
mpse defeat* statement referred to in
the same letter, as tt> which it seemed
to be admitted that no explanation w as
in those erisises in our public affairs
which seem likely to happen, would
probably be inseparable from a confor
mity with prejudice in this particular.”
With that candor towards his oppo
nents by which Hamilton was ever so
nobly distinguished, but of which so
very seldom, indeed, did ho ever expe
rience any return, be disavowed in this
1 paper, the last he ever wrote, any dis
position to affix odium to Burr’s con
duct in this particular case. He deni

urally be influenced against him by

CAPTAIN 1SP1DDEY,
THE IKISU GENTLEMAN IN PBMUITE
OF A SCHl'LE.
1 w ill endeavor to chalk out for our
readers a rough sketch of Captain Me-
Spadden, an Irish gentleman who visit
ed our town not long since, while on a
pedestrian tour through the piney
woods, in search of a location for a
bit of a schule.”
We were not looking for Captain
M’Spadden. He came among us un
expected, unannounced. Living fish
sometimes drop from the clouds; and
there is no particular reason why M’-
Hpadden might not have made his en
try in the same manner—for he was an
oiLlfish—except that the weather was
quite fair at the time; no vapour at all
competent to the transportation of an
Irishman, weighing an hundred and
odd pounds, having been seen for sev
eral days previously’. It was therefore
presumed (in the absence of the pos-
. _. __ , , session of any quadrupedal chattel bv
.u e ! e i M *e) ‘hot he was on a pedestrian tour
of nneisemeut or business. Be this as
it might, when first ol*erved, the Cap
tain was leaning against a tree at one
comer of the square. He had under
one arm a pair of corduroy breeches;
■ nder the other, an invalided hoot—
Mac himself, was a thin “ hit ov a cra-
thur,” with a light gray eye, w hite eye
brows, and delicate, fair features. The
relation to such affairs, he had come to
the resolution wiiich he left on record,
and communicated to his second, to
withhold and throw away his first fire,
and perhaps even his second; thus
giving Burr a double opportunity to
pause and reflect.
The grounds of Wehawk, on the |
Jersey sno

abide the consequences.”
determined hostility, Burr requested
Van Ness to deliver a challenge. Even
after its delivery, Hamilton made a
further attempt at pacific arrangement
in a second paper, denying nny attempt
to evade, or intention to defy or insult,
as had been insinuated, w ith pnrticular
referenee to the closing paragraph of
Hamilton’s first letter, in Burr’s ob
servations, through Y'an Ness, on Ham
ilton’s first paper. But this second pa
per Y'an Ness refused to receive, on
the ground that the challenge had al
ready been given and accepted. It
was insisted, however, on Hamilton’s
part, as the Federal Circuit Court was
in session, in which he had many im
portant eases, that the meeting should
be postponed till the Court was over,
since he was not w illing, by any net
of his, to expose his clients to embar
rassment, loss or delay.
h sms not at nil in the spirit of a
professed dqeli't, ft was not upon a
paltry pointypT honor, that Hamilton
had acccpteTT lids extraordinary chal
lenge, by wiiich it was attempted to
hold him answerable for the numerous
inqiutations on Burr’s character, bandi
ed about in conversation and tin* news
papers for two or three years past.—
The practice of duelling he utterly
condemned; indeed, lie had himself
already been a victim to it in the loss
of bis eldest son, a boy of twenty, in
a political duel some two years previ
ously. As a private citizen, ns a man
saw
found Hamilton half lying, half sitting,
on the ground, supported in the arms
of his Second. The pallor of death
w as on his face. “ Doctor," he said,
“ this is a mortal wound;” and, as if
overcome by the effort of speaking, he
swooned quite away. As he was car
ried across the river, the fresh breeze
revived him. His own house being in
the country, he was conveyed at once
to tile house of a friend, where he lin
gered for twenty-four hours in great
agony, hut prererving his composure
and self-command to the last.
The news of his death, diffused
through the city, produced the greatest
excitement. Even that party hostility,
of which he had been so conspicuous
an object, was quelled for the moment.
All were now willing to admit that he
was not less patriotic than able, and
that in his untimely death—for he w as
only in his forty-eighth year—the coun
try had sufferer! an irreparable loss.—
showed that the poor fellow was suf
fering from incipient delirium tremens.
As old Tom Martin would say, he had
“ swallowed some monkey eggs, all
along wid his bitthers, and they’d
hatched a brood of live young divils to
kape him in company.”
Mac’s drapery was unique. He had
on a marvelously dirty and ragged
shiit, over which was a coat evidently i j. ... .
cut for a much smaller individual than , • u .u.
himself; the waist was just under his
arms, while the extremity of the tail
fell hut a few inches below' the wear- |
er’s hack. His pantaloons, mud-col-1
ored, were long-w'aisted and short I
legged. On his left foot was the mate
of the l>oot he had under his arm; his
right foot was hare, and as red as a
beet. His silk hat had a turn-up of
the rim behind, and a smash-in of the
crown before, and the absence of all
gloss, and many indentations, showed
that it had been a hat of many sor
rows. Still it had a jaunty, impudent
air, that showed that Mac considered
himself “ one of ’em”—and as it perch
ed itself over its owner’s left eye, any
one could see that it was a hat of con- |
siderable character.
One of the Captain's conceits was,
that he was pursued by a w’oman who
claimed to he a relative, and demand
ed a provision for her support. With
this distressing idea in his mind, Mac
leaned against a tree, as I have said,
and addressed alternately a group of

fell on a tall, handsome, judicial-look

“ By no means,” was the reply ; “hut

Captain M’ripadden now marched
into the grocery, walked up to the bar
and looking the dealer in the face
asked,
“Did iver I see that eye afore ?”
“Quite likely,” replied Tap.

his little red nose, he exclaimed,

“ Then the parents drove you off?”

“ But,” he continued, “ tin* divil’s

This objection to the narration liar-
ing been removed by a half tumbler of
“ corn corjil,” Mac proceeded as fol

Ins hands, in an attitude of deep atten

“Ye’ll notice,” quoth the Captain,

’twas the clanest, natest, giiitaalest

I one day we’d a grate revue, and the
Quane was out, and Prince Albert
(may his sowl rest in purgathory, a-
men!) in her carriage to see it.”
“ Did you ever see the Queen of

doubt.
“ Did I iver see the Quane ? Did
you iver put a peUtie in that ugly hole
