"The junior editor of The Balance and Columbian Repository, of Hudson, Harry Croswell, set up The Wasp in July 1802 'in the Garret of The Balance'.
All the legal power that the state could bring to bear was trained on Henry Croswell's freshly hatched The Wasp in an out-of-the-way town where the political killing of a newspaper by Jeffersonians could easily be ignored by liberal Democracts. Croswell was arrested on a bench warrant." - The Rise and Fall of Alexander Hamilton by Robert A. Hendrickson 1981
