2. _Resolved_, That we have undiminished confidence in the integrity and
firmness of the venerable patriot who now holds the distinguished post
of Chief Magistrate of this nation, and whose purity of purpose and
elevated motives have so often received the unqualified approbation of
a large majority of his fellow-citizens.
3. _Resolved_, That we view with agitation and alarm the existence of a
great moneyed incorporation which threatens to embarrass the operations
of the Government and by means of its unbounded influence upon the
currency of the country to scatter distress and ruin throughout the
community, and that we therefore solemnly believe the present Bank of
the United States ought not to be rechartered.
4. _Resolved_, That our Senators in Congress be instructed and our
members of the House of Representatives be requested to sustain, by
their votes and influence, the course adopted by the Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr. Taney, in relation to the Bank of the United States and
the deposits of the Government moneys, believing as we do the course
of the Secretary to have been constitutional, and that the public good
required its adoption.
