Now, if either of those gentlemen, will inform
me what benefit we should derive by excluding
| from our State all paper money, but our own bank
| should be greatly obliged to them, and have no
doubt the balance Of the farmers would be equally
So all paper at tins time is deprecated here, except
the State bank Of Missouri, and have even seen
the ten dollar bills on the branch of Palmyra,
shaved ten per cent, SO that suppose they would
have to be drove out Of the State from the ;irst
Resolutions and have heard Of the ten dollar bills
on the branch Of Fayette, being shaved at LeXing-
ton Land Office; have said that all paper at this
time is deprecated and | will add has been for u
considerable length Of time past, and ever will be
until u. $. Bank is chartered, or the State paper
madel receivable for public dues, land, &c. Lei
the SuJtreasury bill pass, and discontinue the de.
positcs with the Bank Of Missouri and my word
for it, her notes will be under par at hone-on the
other hand chartera U s. Bank, place the depostes
in her, then she will receive the notes of all suunt
State banks on deposite and this will make thei1
paper receivable for public land, consequently twill
De at par.
Fellow Citizens Almost all of us are at presen
in debt; had our last legislature succeeded in pass
ing the Currency Bili,' and thereby made it a.
indicable offence to pass, or ciier to pass State pa
per, hos could we have paid almost all the money
amongst Us are notes of other State banks man!
Of the farmers d. not see a note Of the hank Q
Missouri in three months, aud consequently hu
| that odOus measure have passed, We would have
been Frustrated; lot me beg Of yon to rea53t, con
slider what you are doing letnot your love Of part
be above your love Of country and your posterity
do not say that you are opposed to the measure
but will vote for tie men who arc determined t
carry thcm out, call your candidates out, know
tGeir principles, and vote accordingly; Rawlin'
and Nedmaus are already kAowu--ke Harrison
on abolition we have already their Official votes
BY the 9Th Resolution and vote thereon, Their
almost unanimous, vote for it, they declare tina
there is more Revenue collected than is necesSar
for the use Of the General Government, and there
fore say that the " Rcyeuuen SiQH be diminished
Now il this be fact the Revenue must be uselessl
squandered pilered, or stolen, or why this call 0
Congress at every session for new batch Of Urea
sury notes.
And as they appear TO be great sticklers agains
cX;ravagunt appropriations for internal Improve
nents. let me ask Judge Rawins, when (Journa
page 2Gl) be voted for appro ,raing ten thousun
s dollars for clearing ont the navigation Of Bonn
Femme creek, as high as Hay lens Mill, If he wa
acting in good faith, or was he only trying 10 HI
! time to the tune Of three dollars per day.
