In order to understand the document below, read what I was able to find
about the history of the BANK OF THE UNITED STATES during the years,
Andrew Jackson was president:
....Although President Andrew Jackson did not make the Second BANK OF
THE UNITED STATES an issue in the 1828 election, not too long after, he
announced that he believed the bank, a private corporation established
in 1816 and was operating under a federal bank, and had failed to
provide a stable currency. He believed that it had favored the
privileged few at the expense of the common person in it's operations,
and was in violation of the United States Constitution. The charter
was not due to expire until 1836 but in July of 1832, the president of
the bank, Nicholas BIDDLE was persuaded by some of Andrew Jackson's
enemies, mainly Henry CLAY and Daniel WEBSTER to push a bill through
Congress granting a re-charter, but President Jackson, quickly vetoed
it. This was a major issue in the 1832 presidential campaign, that
helped Andrew Jackson, and Martin Van Buren (running mate for Vice
President) defeat Henry CLAY and win the election.
This war against the bank lasted through out Andrew Jackson's 2nd
term as president. In 1833, Jackson ordered federal deposits withdrawn
from the bank because of BIDDLE's use of bank funds was to support
anti-Jackson candidates. After two secretaries of the Department of
the Treasury refused to comply with his orders, Jackson had them both
removed from office. Because of that, it earned him the sensure of the
Senate and with his use of the presidential veto, prompted his enemies
to charge him with abuse of power.
Although Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of the United States by
withdrawing government money, his administration failed to develop a
coherent national banking policy. In many states, especially in the
South and West, state-chartered banks engaged in irresponsible and
speculative issuance of paper currency--a policy that Jackson and other
hard-money advocates opposed. (The federal government issued no paper
legal tender prior to the Civil War.) Thus during the mid-1830s the
United States was swept by a land boom. Sales of federal lands soared,
helping to wipe out the national debt and creating a large federal
surplus. By 1836, however, the boom was becoming increasingly
speculative. Alarmed and determined to curb extensive use of paper
currency issued by private state-chartered banks, Jackson, in the
Specie Circular of 1836, forbade further purchases of federal land or
payment of federal debts in any currency except federally issued coins.
His actions, which created a demand for specie that led to many bank
failures, were opposed by conservatives in the business community;
they charged him with responsibility for disrupting the economy and
blamed him for the ensuing Panic of 1837........

MEMORIAL OF INHABITANTS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY,
On the state of the Currency.
~~~~~~~~
May 26, 1834
Read, and laid upon the table.
At a meeting of the citizens of Washington county, in the State of
Ohio, convened at the court-house in Marietta, March 29, 1834, to
consider as to the course to be adopted in regard to the late measures
of the Executive in assuming the control of the national finances, the
meeting, was called to order by Colonel Ichabod NYE. Whereupon,
William R. PUTNAM, Esq. was elected Chairman, and John DELAFIELD, jr.
and Levi H. GODDARD, Esquires, Secretaries. A committee appointed to
report a preamble and resolutions in relation to the subject before the
meeting,
returned, and made report of the following preamble, resolutions, and
memorial to Congress;
Whereas the recent measures of the Executive Department of the
Government of the United States, in respect to the Bank of the United
States, and the money affairs of the country, and their effects upon
it’s businesses and concerns, render an expression of public sentiment
proper at this time; therefore, as the since of the citizens here
assembled,
RESOLVED, That the removal by the Executive of the public deposits
from the Bank of the United States, was a measure not warranted by law,
unwise in policy, and ruinous in its tendency to the business and
prosperity of the country.
RESOLVED, That the character of our country and the condition of
the people, especially in the West, render credit an essential
instrument to the business and prosperity of the country; and that its
employment in the form of a sound bank paper circulation, based upon
coin, is best calculated to sustain the industry, and develop the
resources of the country.
RESOLVED, That the Bank of the United States, while it has
essentially contributed to preserve and maintain a sound and healthy
circulation of the State banks, has realized, in an eminent degree, the
advantages of such a system, and has afforded the most safe, cheap, and
desirable facilities for the exchanges of business of the country; and
that as means and instrument to sustain and advance these great
objects, and to save
[Gales & Seaton, print.) [This is a footnote]
Page 2 [Doc. No. 487]
the country from impending distress and ruin, in its peculiarly
affairs, the best interest of the country require that it should be
continued, (at least for a limited time,) under such modifications and
3. restrictions as Congress in its wisdom shall deem necessary and
expedient.
RESOLVED, That in the opinion of this meeting, the late
resolutions of the Legislature of this State did not express the real
sentiments and opinions of a majority of the people of this county in
all parts thereof; and that committees be appointed by the Chair, in
the several townships, for that purpose; and also a central committee
of five citizens for the superintendence of that object, and forwarding
the memorial to Congress.
The following memorial was then read, and unanimously adopted:
TO THE HONORABLE THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
UNITED STATES IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED:
The memorial of the undersigned, citizens of Washington county, in
the State of Ohio
RESPECTIFULLY REPRESENTS:
That, as a part of the American people deeply interested with
their fellow-citizens in the political and social condition of their
common country, they beg leave thus respectfully to submit to the
representatives of that people, the immediate guardians of their rights
and their interests, a brief statement of present, and, as they
believe, impending evils.
Your memorialists have viewed with surprise and painful
apprehension the recent measures of the Executive Department of the
Government, by which the control of the national finances, and the
regulation of the national currency, of the whole monetary system of
the country, upon which all our prosperity depaned, have been
unlawfully, as they think, assumed by the President, and attempted to b
withdrawn from those hands --the hands of Congress-- in which the
constitution and the laws had placed them. A change in the
administration of that branch of national affairs, the influence and
the ramification of which extend directly to all parts of the
community, so momentous in its character and tendency, and so
memorialist think, for a decided expression of public sentiment, and
most urgently, upon the patriotism and the action
of Congress for its correction.
To Congress, your memorialists believe, belongs, of right, and
according to the will of the people constitutionally expressed, the
control and disposition of the national treasure. Its union, so
sudden, so unexpected, and so alarming, with the Executive power,
presents, in the apprehension of the undersigned, an aspect, a crisis
of public affairs, pregnant with imminent peril to the rights and
security of the
people. To that body the undersigned citizens appeal, to guard these
rights, and restore that security.
Your memorialist further respectfully represent, that, although
distant
Page 3 [Doc. No. 487]
from the principal seats of commerce and capital, the effect which have
flown from the removal of the public deposites from the Bank of the
4. United States, and the hostile attitude assumed and maintained by the
Executive to that institution, have reached them, in a sudden and rapid
reduction of the circulation medium, and a consequent pressure and
embarrassment in money transactions and trade; an almost total
derangement of the facilities for sales, remittances, and exchanges
which previously existed; in a depression of the prices of
agricultural productions, the stapels of the county; in a depression
of enterprise, and a general distrust and loss of confidence, which
have given a serious blow to private credit. And if these evils have
not yet overwhelmed them with the degree of distress with which the
commercial cities and more populous districts have been assailed, the
occasion of this short and partial respite is found in the difference
of position and population; whilst the same primary causes, certain in
their operation, must visit them with the like ruinous consequences.
This change in their condition has followed the recent measures of the
Executive already mentioned. Prior thereto the business of this
district of country was prosperous, and its money circulation healthy
and adequate to the demands of that business. The reasons assigned
for the rash measure which has reversed the former prosperous condition
of things, are at war with the experience of your memorialists, of the
benefits derived by them from the Bank of the United States; in the
soundness of remittance, whilst its operations in this region of the
country contributed to sustain the credit, usefullness, and efficiency
of the local banks. The change thus wright, instead of benefiting
these institutions, has constrained them rapidly and greatly to reduce
their circulation, and curtail their accommodations to the business of
the country; a business consisting, mainly, in the export and
marketing of the products of the soil.
Your memorialists, therefore can see no adequate means of relief
from the evils which have thus been brought upon them, and which
threaten them in future, but in a restoration of the former reactions
between the Government and the Bank of the United States, and the
rechartering of that institution on such terms, and with such
modifications as Congress in its wisdom shall deem expedient. Your
memorialists, looking to the experience of the past, regard such an
institution as essential to the maintenance of a sound circulation and
monetary system, uniting the tried and eminent advantages of specic and
bank paper, whilst they believe that a reduction of the business of the
people of this country to a mere coin circulation is as impracticable,
and would be as little desirable as an entire change in the social
habits of the people.
Your memorialists, therefore, respectfully and earnestly pray that
Congress, moved by that paramount consideration, the well being and
prosperity of the people, will devise such means of relief as the
present alarming and oppression condition of the country most urgently
demands.
[The Chairman nominated the following gentlemen as the Central
Committee, viz. EPHRAIM CUTLER, ARIUS NYE, CLAEB EMERSON, JOSEPH
BARKER, JR., and JAMES M. BOOTH
The township committees where then appointed by the Chair; when,
On motion of Arius NYE, Esq., the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Page 4 [Doc. No. 487]
RESOLVED, That this meeting highly approve the noble stand taken
by the late Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. DUANE, against the measure
5. of the Executive, of removing the public deposites from the Bank of the
United States; and we would commend to all public men the just
sentiment expressed by him in his reasons against that act, viz. “that
he does not think that the end justifies the means, or that there is
any distinction between moral and political integrity.”
On motion of J. DELAFIELD, jr. Esq., the following resolutions was
unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That, in the opinion of this meeting, our
Representative, by his vote on the party questions in the last session
of the Ohio Legislature, relative to the rechartering of the United
States Bank, and the removal of the deposites, misrepresented the views
of a majority of the citizens of Washington county.]
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
