To the people of Natchez and Adams County

1-page letter from Jno. W. Monette "to the people of Natchez and Adams County", regarding his consent to become "a candidate to represent the county of Adams in the Senate of Mississippi". He outlines his views on the "bond question", indicating the "absolute necessity of placing the Union Bank in a state of liquidation and applying the assets to the payment of interest...already accrued on the bonds... and thus...vindicate the faith of the state." He states that a tax upon the people to pay for the bonds should not be raised while "our treasury is bankrupt" and that reform in public expenditures is needed. He believes the "gallon law" should be repealed, as it is demoralizing, "detrimental to the revenue" and "calculated to bring the legislative authority into disrepute."
