Text
To the Honorable, the General Assembly the state of Tennessee, at the
- stated session of 1813
- The memorial of signers, Citizens of the District South of rivers
- Frenchbroad and Houlston, Shews That they are indebted to the state for
- their Lands --- That ever since they have been so indebted, from the
- scarcity of spicie in the country, and the reduced price of property - & The
- fettered and stagnated situation of the Commerce of the U.S. have entirely
- prevented them from procuring so much money as would pay the State their
- debt, -- They further Shew, that although your honorable body have been
- lenient to your memorialists, that still your indulgence, and all the
- industry they could use, would not enable them to extricate themselves from
- their dilemma. --- Your memorialists also state, that at this period, they,
- as well as the rest of their fellow citizens, are about to be much
- burthened with additional taxes, to enable the General Government to
- prosicute a just war --- and further shew that nearly one half of the land
- for which they owe the State would not sell for the debt -- although the
- holder would hereafter be able to pay it -- that the State by vending the
- lands, would turn many hundreds of families out of the houses and homes
- that they have had for many years, and the State would be the final loser. --
- Your memorialists further shew, that heretofore many grants were issued by
- the state of North Carolina for lands in this District, which covers nearly
- one half of the land --- That many suits are now pending in the Federal and
- State Courts on said Claims.--- And that harrassed by the suits, and the
- State claims Should it be pressed upon them, they must be finally ruined
- --- Your memorialists have shewn, that if the State, during times like the
- present, compel the payment of said debt, their ruin must inevitably ensue
- -- and also beg leave to add, that should they be furthered indulged and
- interest heaped upon them, they must ultimately sink under the accumulated
- magnitude of the debt --- And your memorialists respectively ask your
- especial attention to their situation --
