A Newspaper Should Be The Maximum Of Information, And The Minimum Of Comment.

The Problem To Solve Is, Whether A Single Or A Double Government Would Be Most Advantageous; And, In Considering That Point, I Am Met By This Difficulty - That I Cannot See That The Present Form Of Government Is A Double Government At All.
