he never did intend to difturb the harmony

or endmger the liberty oflns native coun try. He hadreafen to believe, and he aft

ed under the impreftlon, that Burr, who then ftood high in the publick confidence, i r 1 . t. - .1!inli .

was autnoruca to carry on enc cptuiuv..j the precifc nature and ultimate defign ol which he had never been informed of. The

full extent of Floyd's offence then, about

which fo great a noife has beenmaae, was, that he was nn fufoicious Sc creduleus, eon-

fequentlv open to the arts of deception

and that Burr did deceive nun. cut who

is it that Col. Burr might not have taken in ? Wife as the little Editor, and cunning

s the letter writer may be, I'll wager a bran new fiddle to a jews-harp, and that you know is great mufical odds, that Burr

could perfuade either of them to believe

that the moon was made of green cheefe.'

Kay fir, faid he, don't laugh (I could not

forbear fmiliug at his extravagant conceit

of the powers of Burr, on the weaknefs of

the other two) for I am ferious, I fpeak as

I think, and I can but wonder at your ob

ftinacy, in denying this folemn truth By

this time you will fuppofe, I was heartily

tired ot a man who was lo dogmatical, paifionate and wrong headed, and not having a mind to be involved in a quarrel, (which I mortally hate) at a fit opportunity, I made my obeifance, and left him, as 1 fliall

VINCENNES LIBRARY. The public arej we believe, generelly acquainted that more than a year fmcc, an at tempt was commenced by a number of the citizens of Vincennes and its vicinage, to eftablifh a public circulating Library, in the Borough of Vincennes, under the title of the 1 Vincsnnes Library.' ConOdering all the circumftances of difficulty in which the att"mDi ws made, its fuccefs has eoualled

i the molt fanguine expectations of its patrons. Already has a company been organized under the name of 'The Vincennes

Library Company,' which has obtained an act of the legiflature incorporating it under yj that name. As it is a meafure of public utility, emanating from the moft benevolent and p itiiotic motives, it is hoped it will meet with univerfal encouragement from every citizen in its neighborhood. Though its beginning be fmall, as that of every eftaMifhment, however ufeful, mud nccffarily br, in a new country, fituatt: ;s ours, it will grow with its countries growth, lucre ;fe with its ftrength, and became in di! time a copious and permanent fource of improvement and information, eafily acctffile to every one. Tne charter of the company together with iti conllitution, bye laws !c. are depofitrd in the library room. Any

done, we are confident he will fetl a pure plafure in becoming a fiibfcriber, U ihrreby contributing to its infant fupuoit : f0i lie will reflect that though it is now merely in the bud, yet by fofteriri cre it v.il! hereafter bloffom. and bring forth fruit, tlir pleafure3 and profits of which if lie cannot completely enjoy immediately, will be a moft valuable legacy to his children and country.
