Reading edition
Act of June 27, Laws of New Hampshire, 1816, 48-51; and see Lord, 687-90.
The temper of the Republicans is illustrated by a joint resolution adopted June 29, 1816, denouncing the increase of salaries of Senators and Representatives in Congress, which "presents the most inviting inducements to avarice and ambition," "will introduce a monopolizing power," and "contaminate our elections." (Act of June 27, Laws of New Hampshire, 1816, 65-66.)
