Excerpt from Reflections Upon the Late Correspondence Between Mr. Secretary Smith, and Francis James Jackson, Esq.: Minister Plenipotentiary of His Britannic Majesty Upon examining the correspondence between the diplo matick functionaries of the two governments, there is not a man in the country who, bearing in mind the cause of dis missal originally avowed, will not be able promptly andt'cor rectly to decide upon its merits. While the letters of the british minister are to be admired for their energy of style and elegance of diction, they are plain and intelligible and well adapted to the meanest capacity. All classes of citizens may peruse them with a perfect confidence of thoroughly comprehending the subjects to which they relate, so far as the mysterious policy and oblique views of this government are susceptible of explanation. If, after a scrupulous and minute examination of the documents appertaining to mr. Jackson's dismissal, the dark sinuosities of our cabinet's politicks are not glaringly exposed, it will be ascribable to the reader's blindness or stupidity, not the awkwardness of the diplomatist.

Alexander Contee Hanson was born on February 27, 1786 in Annapolis, Maryland, United States. He was the second son of Alexander Contee Hanson and Rebeca (Howard) Hanson. He came from a line of fighting patriots and was nourished in Federalism as in a religion.
Hanson graduated from St. John's College in 1802, and practiced law in his native city.
In 1808 Hanson founded a newspaper, the Federal Republican, in Baltimore, to represent extreme Federalist opinion. For statements conceived to be "mutinous and highly reproachful to the President" made in an article on the Embargo, published November 7, 1808, Hanson, who was a lieutenant in the 39th Regiment of Maryland militia, was court-martialed, but he defended himself with ability and success.
As the country drifted toward war with England the Federal Republican became more bitter. Numerous threats were issued against it. On June 20, 1812, two days after the declaration of war, an editorial appeared, beginning "Thou hast done a deed whereat Valour will weep. " The policy of the paper was defined as opposition to the war and hostility to Madison, who was stigmatized as the tool of Bonaparte. On June 22, a mob of infuriated Republicans demolished the newspaper plant, even tearing down the walls.
Thereupon, following the advice of influential Federalists, Hanson decided to take a stand for freedom of opinion and of the press. A building was secured at 45 Charles St. , and transformed into a veritable arsenal. On July 27, the paper was reissued from Georgetown, District of Columbia, but circulated from Baltimore. This issue of the journal contained an attack upon the city government for favoritism toward the leaders of the Baltimore mob. The following day the house on Charles Street was surrounded and doors and windows were smashed. The Federalists responded with gunshots. One man was killed in the crowd. The militia deported itself irresolutely.
Finally, when a cannon was dragged before the newspaper office, the defenders consented to compromise with the mayor of Baltimore and the commander of the militia. In return for promises of safety for life and property, they consented to a temporary surrender. Neither of these promises was fulfilled, however. The place of safety proved to be the jail, which, since the militia was immediately disbanded, was easily forced during the night. A butcher and a French tailor led the mob. The offending Federalists were clubbed into insensibility and hurled out upon the jail steps where the attack was continued with penknives, matches, and candlegrease poured upon the eyelids. General James M. Lingan was killed and General Henry Lee received injuries from which he never fully recovered. Hanson was beaten into unconsciousness, but later was assisted to escape to his country estate. By August 3, he was reissuing his paper from Georgetown. Baltimore exonerated the rioters, and although the committee of grievances and courts of justice of the Maryland House of Delegates later upheld the Federalists, a wave of apprehension was felt lest this violent outbreak should prove the precursor of Republican terrorism. This Federalist reaction brought about Hanson's election to Congress. He took his seat in March 1813, continuing his anti-administration charges in the House.
In 1816, he resigned in the hope of saving the local Federalist cause by entering state politics, but he failed in the elections for the House of Delegates. He was then appointed United States senator to complete the term of Senator Harper, and he served in this capacity from January 2, 1817, until his death. Ill health prevented him from continuous activity in the Senate. He died at his estate, "Belmont, " near Elkridge.

As editor-in-chief Hanson secured Jacob Wagner, who had served in the State Department under Pickering and entertained an absolute aversion toward Jefferson and Madison. Hanson shared the conviction of most Federalists that the Republican statesmen were "bound over" to French interests, and Wagner's "inside information" concerning diplomacy was freely used to spread this view.
On June 25, 1805, Hanson married Priscilla Dorsey. They had many children, but only one lived to maturity.
