FRANCIS MALLET.
To the Citizens of Indiana.
NO. VI. In my first letter, I reminded you that
the time is fast approaching when you, can exert the dearest right and most im-J portant privilege of freeman, viz : your1 elective franchise : and I am sure you cannot after reflecting on the tacts I have since presented to your view, look forward to that period without anxiety and concern. I trust that the people of Indiana are too well aware of the imoor-
oiiue people in general, never touencu tance of the nCxt election, to lay supmeheart, or troubled his bram. y on tncjr backs and reiv oniy 0n the 'i he length of Ins epistle, and the nu- justice 0f their cause, until it become too nierous excuses he had to make, for the jatc to wrest tacir respective counties cvpially numerous acts he performed trom me withering erasp of bank aris-

before the election. But they can yield no other effect than I have presented no imaginable good can proceed from them. Fruitful alone in e il consequences, the independent voice of almost every man who knows their arts and aims, has already consigned them to infamy. For the present, I have, I think, proceeded far enough to afford to every reader, a glimpse of the origin, the cause, and the ruinous effects of the banking system. I have demonstrated that it tends to lower the value of property and produce ; to make the poor dependent, and the rich more powerful; to make slaves of freemen and to make all descriptions of men unsafe and unhappy : and now, if the honest rcstiffness of uprightness and liberty, will firmly oppose its alliance with the legislature, all may yet go well. In the mean time, we have all, 1 am sure, something to bear. Many who have enjoyed abundance, must, before the correction can be effectual, yield up that abundance. But vicissitude is the lot of humanity. Misfortune is not disgraced however, where it accu
mulates without dishonor. Until the
