Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The War on the Bank of the United States: Or a Review of the Measures of the Administration Against That Institution and the Prosperity of the Country
Our astonished, but intelligent emigrant, doubting the reports of his too faithful senses and the testimony of his understand ing, asks, whether these appearances be real, or the misre presentations of factions sans, got up for effect? But, entering the assemblies of e people, and observing the classes of which they are composed, his doubts instantly vanish. He sees, not some twenty or thirty party dependants, convened to maintain, with their voices, whatever their leaders may assert, to gain their daily bread; but thousands and tens of thousands of merchants and manufacturers, agriculturists and artisans, who quit not their employments for ordinary causes, nor busy them selves in public concerns, unless their liberties or means of prosperity be endangered. Assured that the appearances which every where meet his eye are not delusive, he seeks the cause of the extraordinary change; applying to those sages, whose long experience in public and private affairs has well fitted them to comprehend and unfold their most occult springs; and whose condition and stake in the community blend their interest, in separably, with the public weal.
