Broadside on New Hampshire taxation regarding the Louisiana Purchase. Concerns the cost of the Louisiana purchase, with a table showing the proportionate cost per county of the $15 million bill, and describing how the Embargo Act makes it difficult if not impossible to pay France without a special tax. The writer, "Americanus," also warns of the threat of European war.
