'''image caption:''' ''duel between burr and hamilton.'' '''text accompanying image:''' ''in the fall of 1804 mr. jefferson was elected president for a second term, but this time colonel burr was dropped by his party, who nominated and elected george clinton, of new york, vice-president in his place. burr had at last experienced the reward of his insincerity: both parties had come to distrust him. after his defeat for the vice-presidency he had been nominated by his party as their candi date for governor of new york. he was warmly opposed by alexander hamilton, who was mainly instrumental in bringing about his defeat. burr never forgave hamilton for his course in this election, and took advantage of the first opportunity to challenge him to a duel. they met at weehawken, on the banks of the hudson, opposite new york, on the eleventh of july, 1804.'' '' hamilton, who had accepted the challenge in opposition to his better judgment, and who had expressed his intention not to fire at burr, was mortally wounded, and died within twenty-four hours. in him perished one of the brightest intellects and most earnest patriots of the republic. his loss was regarded as second only to that of washington, and the sad news of his death was received in all parts of the country with profound and unaffected sorrow. a feeling of deep and general indignation was aroused against burr, who found it expedient to withdraw from new york and retire to georgia until the excitement had subsided.'' ''the murder of hamilton, for it was nothing else, closed burr's political career.''
