ACQUISITION OF TERRITORY.

As there is now much controversy and specu-
lation about the acquisition Of territory, the fol-
lowing from the New York Commercial Adpcrti-
ser, of 1906, will show what was then thought Of
the purchase of Louisiana:
So much giggling has not been observed among
the Democrats since the inaugural speech OF
Mr.: Jefferson, upon the late news of the cession
OF Louisiana. The truth Ia, they were pretty
much dolcn IN The mouth, but now they grin from
ear to ear. At last they think that they
have found something (for they know not yet
what it isl on which to trumpet the amazing
wisdom and foresight OF their chief. If the mat.
ter turn out we'll, the Fcderalists will rejoice
with them, whatever may be their opinion OF
the measures winch have been pursued
The purchase of Louisiana by our economical
President, at ithe enormous price of fifteen mil.
lions, is an impolitic and dangerous step. Should
the insidious arguments made use OF by Mr.
Livingston, in his memorial to the mighty Bona
parte, seconded by the deadly hatred which Mr.
Jefferson and his friends bear toward the Brit
ish Government, have tendency to involve
America in the war against her, how easy
would 1t be for that nation to seize upon oul
newly acquired territory and thus pull down oul
airy castles built on the "baseless fabric of Wis
ion r'-Com. Adrerii=cr Aug Q, 1908.

and of another who was "equally captivating

give "dignity" and beauty" to the character of
Goneril certainly implies more than ordinary
