Summary:

Contains an article denouncing modern Federalism. Includes an account of the 11 July 1804 duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton on page 3 which condemns the practice of dueling. It reacts to the sympathy generated by Hamilton's murder by asserting that Hamilton also took part and is therefore not totally blameless. Other articles detail local, international, political, court, and ship news, advertisements, and public announcements.
