While in Illinois and Missouri, in 1842,1 found many
of the farmers, who had beautiful arid well cultivated
farms, complaining that they could find no adequate
price for their produce, and that even the inadequate
price obtained, was paid in bank paper, of a mere
nominal value, and that if such a state of things continued they would moveoifto Upper Canada.

longer exist* in the Western States, or that it exists
