Item description from seller

Original publisher's beige paper pamphlet. Text printed in black ink. A few pages are unopened. 5 3/4" x 9." Sixteen pages, complete. Pages are very clean and intact except for light age toning, occasional spots of foxing or discoloration, and slight chipping along spine. A Very Good copy. A speech that was originally delivered in the United States House of Representatives on May 11, 1848 by John A. Rockwell (1803-1861), an American lawyer, judge, and politician. Rockwell served as a U.S. Representative from Connecticut from 1845-1849. He was a Whig. In this speech, Rockwell discusses a bill that would make appropriations for military pensions and other types of pensions. However, Rockwell principally delves into a matter involving an apparently and severely erroneous annual official report to Congress credited to the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. Rockwell adamantly counters a previous speech that had sought to vindicate the character of the Secretary of the Treasury. He doubles down on his argument stating, "It is now officially or semi-officially admitted that the Secretary committed a blunder in his annual official report to Congress of at least $1,401,900." Rockwell further explains the problem at hand which was the over-issuance of Treasury notes in 1846 and 1847; the Secretary had apparently promised there were enough notes available when in fact there were not. Rockwell analyzes accurate statements that were later procured and examines specific parts of those statements to show how the Secretary's financial errors happened. Rockwell contends that the Secretary was both "confused" and "reckless" regarding the severity of his misreporting. Rockwell also makes a few final comments about the loan bill. He suggests that the loan bill is partisan, with the Whigs opposing and the Democrats supporting it.
