Resolution of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the State of Missouri. 1840 331 (1840)

handle is hein.slavery/ssactsmo0040 and id is 1 raw text is: RESOLUTIONS, RESOLVED, by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring therein: That the following address to M. Van Buren, President of the United States, be adopted by the General Assembly, and the Governor be requested to forward to the President a copy of the same: TO MARTIN VAN BUREN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATE8. Sii: The General Assembly of the State of Missouri, deeply impressed with the firmness, integrity and patriotism which have marked your administration, as President of the United States, on the approach of the termination of the pe- riod for which you were elected, respectfully tender to you their regard, esteem and unimpaired confidence. It was at no ordinary period that the suffrages of a free people called you to the presidential chair, and the intrepidity, sagacity and vigilance over the public good, which have rendered memorable your administration, have proved you to be faithful to every principle and impulse of democracy. It is with a proud feel- ing of respect that we review the untiring opposition you have always evinced towards the measures of the discordant party, who are united against you as the representative of the republican faith, the principles of which party we have always regarded as at war with the best interests of our common country. It is with heartfelt sincerity that we rejoice in the firmness with which you met the advances and resisted the attacks of this party, and with pleasure we point to your inaugural address, and your message to Congress, convened under procla- mation, as eloquent and unanswerable manifestations of your attachment to the principles thr: elevated you to the proudest station upon earth. Your administration has been signalised by the most untiring efforts to destroy its usefulness. Every exertion that misrepresentation could advise, every plan that ambition and intrigue could invent, to excite, against every measure of your recommendation, a popular resistance, have been resorted to by the ene- mies of democracy; but, amid a persecution that knew no limit, a ridicule that was ceaseless, a malignity of opposition that never slumbered, and an excite- ment that was never suffered to be allayed, you stood the same undismayed champion of popular rights, and nobly redeemed the trust with which the Un- bought suffrages of a nation had invested you. In the name of our constitu- ents, we say that we are proud of such a president. During your administration, the separation of the government from banking institutions has been achieved, and the money of the people has been withdrawn from irresponsible corporations and wisely placed under the management of their own immediate servants. This independent treasury law is a second declara.
