Book Description

Excerpt from Plan of Reform in the Constitution and Governemnt of the United States and the State of New York The winter of 1839 - 40, finds us in a situation differ mg in but avery slight degree from the period alluded to above, but worse, perhaps, in some measure, from the mournful certainty. Which time has given us, of the delusiveness of that hope which we all so fondly che rished, that our embarrassments were but mere tempo rary ones, which the resources of the country and the industry of its people would not be long in overcoming. Now then is the season for reflection. Let us examine into the causes which have made our pecuniary embar rassments so frequent. Let us coolly and dispassion ately trace the stream which has so nearly overwhelmed us to its sources, and apply those remedies which common sense may suggest to prevent the overflows which occur with almost periodical regularity.
