Bloom William McKinley Griffey Griffiths Curtis Larkins 1st Session. NEW JERSEY. MEMORIAL OF INHABITANTS OF THE COUNTY OF SALEM, Upon the subject of the embarrassed state of the currency. APRIL 14, 1834. Read, and laid upon the table. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled: The memorial of the subscribers, inhabitants of the county of Salem, in the State of New Jersey, RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH: That, in the opinion of your memorialists, it is the duty and privilege of all citizens, at all times, to watch over those who are intrusted with the powers delegated by the constitution, and to require that those powers shall be exercised in conformity with the provisions of the constitution, and to the laws made in pursuance of it by the representatives of the people, in such a manner as to promote the general welfare and happiness of all.

The removal of the deposites, and the manner of effecting it, are causes amply sufficient, in the judgment of your memorialists, to produce all the distressing consequences which the people have experienced and are still experiencing. And those consequences, we think, cannot be referred to any other causes, as it is manifest to the whole nation, that previous to the announcement by the Executive of a determination to remove the public moneys from the Bank of the United States, this community exhibited a state of great prosperity, in the full enjoyment of a sound currency which had obtained a confidence and credit in the commercial world, hitherto unknown in the history of any other nation; her agriculturists, thriving and contented; her manufacturers, protected and flourishing; her mechanics, industrious and prosperous; her laborers, busily employed and liberally compensated; and the whole mass of [Gales & Seaton, print.] |
