Pendleton, of Burr's unequalled greatness,
and confessed the superiority of his mind. "
, Of what a treasure has ambition robbed
our country! America had "destined him to
be her protector and lier friend ; but his evil
stars marrrd his better fait. What ablest

The morn of his youth gave promise otaf
ploriousjrinnhood, and his meridian splendor
for a, while attracted the admiration of his
countrymen. He was rapHly r.sremiing fo
