"Mr Hyatt was an abolitionist and inventor. In his opposition to slavery, Hyatt organized the efforts of abolitionists in Kansas to have the territory admitted to the Union as a free-state and campaigned for the federal government to aid Kansans afflicted by drought.

Summary
"I have endeavored to prove that specie payment may be resumed, confidence restored, and our bonds now bearing a high rate of interest converted into bonds at a much lower rate, by simply passing laws which shall coincide with the acts a merchant would perform if he found himself in the position in which the Government is now placed. The main point presented is, that we should decide the manner in which we intend to pay our debt, by beginning actual payment in coined dollars, and thus restore our credit. We have as yet settled none of our debt by actual payment, but have simply received our depreciated paper for taxes, and have therewith cancelled a portion of our bonds, or else by the sale of gold we have recognized our own discredit in the purchase of our bonds at a discount." [from the preface]
An essay written during the Civil War that warns that slavery has concentrated power in the slave owners in the South - those who had been able to buy slaves and expand their business. Such power was destabilizing for society as a whole and should not be permitted following the war. "A numerous and independent yeomanry - that is to say , a large class of fairly schooled, intelligent, and respectable freeholders, of moderate, yet sufficient estate - spread over the country, with an honorable share in its government, constitutes one of the most important elements of a healthful state of a nation, and is wholly indispensable to a people whose type of government is that of substantial and orderly freedom..."
