Most interesting for several pieces critical of the proposed (and pending) Louisiana Purchase, mostly revolving around the excessive cost. The first, four columns, is titled "A Comparative View of the Disadvantages and Benefits, Which Would Probably Accrue to the United States, from an Enlargement of Their Territorial Limites by the Purchase of Either Louisiana or the Floridas," with the vast expendeture of capital derided; it concludes "...the vast wilderness, the possession whereof by the United States is contemplated, will cost much in its purchase, something in its defence, and much in its settlement; and that `a great many years will pass away,' before it will, in any measure, compensate for these national outsets."
