996. BURR'S (A.) TREASON, Louisiana and.—
It has given me infinite satisfaction
that not a single native Creole of Louisiana,
and but one American, settled there before the
delivery of the country to us, were in his interest.
His partisans there were made up of fugitives
from justice, or from their debts, who had
flocked there from other parts of the United
States, after the delivery of the country, and
of adventurers and speculators of all descriptions.—
