Extract* from Gov ? Branch *w Message. Circulating Medium. -Amongst ?lie loading grievances of the times may^ewnked the debased condition of our circulating ' medium.

The extraordinary Humiliations in the price of ujoperty, and indee^ of every aeaflpi^r and convenience of life in* doced thereby, hks not onto had ar tendeucyijo plunge many into the Maths of poverty? hut has also had j the effect to subvertf their habki dt industry and morality, and so long m the power of the Banks to mcr$ase or diminish the currency of: the country at their jpteasure, With* out being made to feel the consequen ces of an iujudiciousr isKU^ oi witb^ draw, so long shall l>e liable to a recurrence of chnilar embarras roeuts.
