“ Send me those papers which contain the Orleans Memorial, and the last accounts from Europe upon the subject of Louisiana and our Spanish treaty—the bubble with which Mr. Jefferson has gulled many good men; but which will now burst upon a deluded country. too late, I fear, to prevent his re-election.”
