We the undersigned, having carefully

the conclusion that its tendency is to en-

ity, dishonesty, reckless speculations, the
contraction of debt, and numerous other
evils among the people of the State and

since, by the laws of our State, property
to the value of $500 at least, may be

State will be best subserved by total re-

honorable body to act to that end, and as
