So satisfied were all, of his talents, candor and integ- rity, that on the adoption of the federal constitution, he was the first senator elected, to the first Congress. The federalists told him, that he was sent to see that none of the abuses and corruptions, which he anticipa- ted, should be practiced on the people ; he had no op- ponent. While attending Congress, he became the second of Aaron Burr, in a duel with Mr. Church. Of course, Burke had to load the pistols, and was instruct- ed to g...rease the patch. When the parties were ready, and at their stations. Burr looked round for the judge, and saw him with a stone in one hand and a pistol in the other, trying to drive down the ram-rod with the ball, to the charge of powder. Shortly afterwards, he presented the pistol to Burr, saying, " I forgot to grease the leather, but don't keep him waiting, just take a crack as it is, and Pll grease the next." Burr bowed, took his pistol, although he knew its situation ; and at the word " fire," discharged it ineffectually, as the ball dropped midway between him and his oppo- nent.
