Extract from Alexander Graydon to John Lardner

Harrisburg April 18th 1817.

That arch-demagogue Jefferson once preached with exquisite emotion and effect against “domiciliary taxation,” and now under his pious successors, we have it with a vengeance. Villiany & hypocrisy thy name is patriotism and Economy!

RC (PHi: Society Collection); at foot of text: “John Lardner Esqr.”
