During the preceding year Burr was upon
term** ol inhiriate relations with the prcse.it lien.
Ilau i'on,then Governor of Indiana, and residing at
\ incennes. 80 closely knil together by ti“e ol
mutual friendship were Wilkinson, Burr and Har
rison, that an attempt was in progress to convene
“ the Council of Solomons'’ (as W. facetiously
railed the legislative body of Indiana) and elect
Hurr their Terri tmial delegate to Congress. To
this Wilkinson wrote Harrison under date of
rite 151th September 1805, and If tit r addressed a let
ter Irom Vincennes to Wilkinson on (lie 2ttili of the
same month, and assures him that he ha« held a
“ round about” conversation with Harrison on the
subject, •* and there in terry tv ideate of paotl
U'ill.”—In the Kirhiuoml Enquirer of the 27th
October, 1807, loro letters Irom Burr to Uuiitaon
bearing date the 2 ttb October, and 27th Novem
ber, 1800, the first from Lexington,*,the second
fioin Louisville, (Ky )are published to shew as is
asserted by a writer under the signature of" Jus
licta *” tlie base hypocrisy,and intuitions falsehoods
to which Burr could resort to masque his villain
ous purposes and cheat even those, whom ho called
his Iriends.” —The letter itoni i‘.« xinrjtnn of the
2-ltli October, 1805,is accompanied with a newspa
per containing General Jackson’s orders herein
‘quoted, with tiic intimation to Harrison "that some
thing like it, might not be inexpedient at this time
to the Militia of Indiana”—lie declares that " all
reflecting men consider a war w ith Spain to he in
evitable;” and in such event, "It it should be my
lot to be employed, which them is reason to expect,
it would be my highest gratification to be associat
ed with you.”
I lie Idler of November 27th, 1806, i* io entrent
Harrison that lie will not give credence to the
►“ various and extravagant reports which *• circu
late concerning me.” He assures him that his
; plans are revealed to the principal officers of the
^Government, and he asserts that his “ \ iews are
grateful to the adiuintstratio:!.” llurr addressed
[him as his tuithful and ntl'eclionate friend.’’ The
ILiupiirer ot Heccniher doth, lbOO, mentions as a
rejHirt ol the day and apparently upon the know
ledge olthe Kill tor," that Col. llurr addre-sed lot
lers to Cieii. Jackson of Tennessee and Mr. Il.iri i
*ou Governor ol the Indiana territory, inlorming
them that there was every prohalnlity ol a war
taking place immediately with .Spain*, that he had
received a high Conunb'kni front the i’rcsulent ol*
• the United States, and requesting them to have
the respective forces under their command ready
to join him on particular days— Jackson and Har
rison ate reported to have transmitted an account
ol these letters to the l’. hi S. who is said to have
these lettois or copies oi them now in his potfi-es
sion ”
The singular concurrence of passing events, and
the elevated rank of Col. Burr had held in the N'a
ttonal Councils, euabled hint with entire facility to
induce the West to view him ns the agent ot the
Government, clothed with its peculiar confidence,
' and prepating lor extraordinary emergencies, that
wete daily expected to arise. The distance ol
those parts from the Scat ol Government; the then
existing ditllcullie* ol communication even by
mail—added to his facilities for keeping the public
; mind wrapt up in his fraudful delusions, which
'were the more lagetly received because the pop
fular passions were inflamed by the incursion of a
.hostile army. At Washington k’uy the purpose of
|the conspiracy was not fully nor distinctly asecr
