 Two of these articles are from the pens of citizens our State, and one, the third in order, from one of our townsmen It we'll sustans his reputation for in- telectuai ability.

 The other, by MT. Porter, of Tusca oosa, is an ef ort to clear away some of the prejudces which hang over the name of Burr, and associate it in the mind. of this generation with political and moral turpitude. There can be no doubt that much injustice was done to Burr in his day, by exaggeratng his real defects and attributng tp him designs and vices of which he was innocent. He a political leader at one time dividing with Jefferson the confidence of inc re- publican party; and whether for sufficient cause or not, that party discarded and prescribed him. A man in that position has little chance to have his motives his acts appreciated in spirit of kind ness. Too many who had been suddenly converted from friends into enemies, interested in pro- tecting themselves by making his faults conspicuous, and proving him to be incapable of do,ng well. His temper, too, so delying he treated his enemies with much scorn, and his of lie was such, to give eo1nenance to the imputaions of his want of social morals, and to deprive him of the adyan- tage of the support of public confidence in his person. al virtues. Hence, It is unquestionabIy true, that he has been judged harshly and sterny condemned beyond even his demers. It IS easy therefore, with prudent brevity m sketchng the facts of his life and career, to make out for Burr plausible case of per- secuton and wrong, and much of it will be true.--~ But purged most carefully of every thing unjust or doubtful in evidence, enough will remain to show that bs character radically defective in the high- moral attributes and that though a great, bril- liant and brave man, he was essentially bad man. Judge Porter has made fair case for Burr, but it would not be difficult to shew that something of its favorable aspect is owing to partial cooring which his brief narrative gives to the events of Burr's life Some of his facts not dowB jn history with. out dispute.
