Anti-war, and in favor of Jefferson and his administration, particularly in contrast to that of Adams:
. . . Contrast this with the democratic administration of Thomas Jefferson,
from 1801 inclusive, to the present moment; where is the standing army, the naval establishment, the stamp tax, the direct

of the principal of the national debt redeemed or extinguished from the 1st of April 1801 to the 1st of January, 1807, to
be
twenty-four
millions, forty-four
thousand, seven
hundred and ninety-two
dollars . . . (page 8).
