On further thought, it's possible that Burrows was trying to kill two birds with one stone. He needed Campbell and the Overseers to help him establish his power early on, but we can see from Campbell's journals that he was plotting to usurp Burrows himself. Maybe Burrows, in all his paranoia, picked up on that and decided to pit the Overseers and the Assassins against each other, hoping one or the other or both would be taken out.
