Of New York.
| GENTLEMEN took an opportunity which hap
pened upon the eve OF your adjournment, TO call
your attention 20 the injury that tins community
receives, arising from the established practice ny
men Of moral character and with little pecunIary
responsibility IN issuing paper, partially OF worth
tons IN adjacent States would again call upon
your honorable body 10 take in consideration this
injurious system You are, most undoubtedly, as
sembed to indct all offences against the people OF
this county; and most certainly this is when Justly
considered, OF no small magnitude. II extends TO
all few are exempted from its mischevous effects
but 1t does tall with undue severity upon the labor
ing portion. II can admit but Of little doubt that
your honorable body Is capable to act upon this
important subject. You are placed in responsible
station, clothed with power of that peculiar nature
which either constitutes that Of judcature or CEN
sorship. You meet for the unquestiOnable fact of
taking cognizance of all msdemeanors, or offences,
whatever may be detrimental, injurious or having
tendency to disturb the peace, and even the
morals OF the good citizens OF the county Reflect,
therefore, gentlemen, upon the importance of your
duties, as well as the soemnity Of the oath that
you have taken, and act in accordance,
The pernicious systems which have been kept
in operation by unpiincpIed individuals, flooding
the city at divers times, previous to the explosion
OF the institutions that the bills are drawn from,
must receive check sufficient to cause the
people to remain satisfied that JUSTICE Is not
has become, at length, indispensable all feel il
all do not see the hand that oppreses them. To
keep the citizens, especially those whose circum-
stances fit them as easy objects Of those repeated
mposons, in proper order, Is by vlgilantly guard
ing them from those unprinciped men, whose
restless avarice blind them to other'srghs. 1t is,
IN fact, your duty "to see the public should receive
no detrment." Perhaps there is nothing which
can so arouse that dretul passion, revenge, sooner
than sense OF injustice done, and conceivng there
is no remedy IN the lac, or that it is not purely
dealt to all 1t was in consequence OF the accumu-
Iation OF grievances by the COIN being adulterated
by the connlvance OF the authorities. that the
Roman people rose, and which cost the Emperor
Aurellan seven thousand of his choicest veterans
to subdue. The same innate principle possess
men at this age that it did at that, and the
same resistance to vile, gross, niggardly imposi-
celves Judicial connvance, and no relief is offered
invoke your honorable body, If in no other light
than public inspectors of public abuses, to take this
up Tor action. Let not, gentlemen, honest labor
be a free prey for those despicable iarpies, who,
by the means OF low cunning, live in all large COM
munities. You cannot be unacquainted of the
fact, that the city currency consists mostly OF de-
precaed paper Of banks whose location is situated
in remote villages in our boundary States; ,conse
quently, our citizens can possess little no knOwl-
edge of their sovency The losses sustained by
the falling OF banking operations, together with the
discount paid upon uncurrent bills, is reckoned
tantamount to one third paid upon personal taxes /;
IT you skud feel inclined to doubt this assertion,
i needs but few figures, to prove the fact, when
the amount of deprecated paper is taken into con.
sderation. No community can feel secure from
the effects of riots or blood shed, while injustice is
tacltly sanctioned by the eye of the law. There is
PROFESSIONALLY. point where forbearance ceases
knavery, without the interference OF the law to
protect them, we must expect as an inevitable re-
snlt, violent means resOrted to.
