jealousies, but that as citizens of tennsgI-
vania, we behold in the present conduct "t
those who rule the executive Of this couu-

the certainty of establish NC another bank,
to be located out of the State, whose stock
will be divided among the members of All
ascendant regency, whose management
and direction will be made subservient &,
the ambition and intrigues of political as
pIrants, and whose consummsiion will fna +
! y complete the experimen, of trying to u
ntie the purse and the sword in one hand
Resolred, That this meeting firmly be-
lleve that the citizens of this commonwealth
have been perfectly satisfied with the pa
per currency, existing in Pennsylvania,
since the establishment of the bank of the
United States; that they have desired no
change in it, and that if any change shalt
oe made, they do most earnestly deprecare
the substitution of the New York safet,
fund system, by which a bank is author-
zed to issue notes to the amount of $349-
40, while it possesses IN specie in lis
vaults, no more than the sum of SO ,61S 10
redeem all the notes, issued by it and cir
culated in the community, as the represen-
tativcs of a solvent and specie paying
hank.
ResoiDed. That we do solemnly protest
against the friends of gen. Jackson, assum-
ing to themselves the title of the Pennsyl
vania Democracy, when they have avow
ed that we will support the opinion of one
man, "whe,her right or wrong" and we do
conscientiously believe, that if gen. jack
son should this day publicly announce his
determination to return the deposltes to
the bank of the United States that the
Jackson representation of this state in
congress would instantly support the
measure; that the Jackson portion of the
legislature of Pennsylvania would add
their hearty concurrence, and that the
jackson party throughout the United
States would rejoice in their release from
their present dilemma, and instantly pro-
claim this last act of their chief, the most
|dsnterested and noble deed of his life.
Rpsoiued, That the senators and rep
Iresentalives from this state in congress
be requested to use their exertions and
votes, to procure such an alteration OF
the constitution Of the United States, as
shall restrict the veto power ofthe Pres
ident, and enlarge the legislative power
of the people in both houses oil con-
gress.
Resolved, That the indiscriminate
power to veto all bills exercised by the
President Of the United States, is per
version of the original intent and mean
ing of the trainers Of the constitution
which must prove destructive to the
rights, Liberties, and happiness of thu
people.
| Resolved, That the constitution of th'
United States, ought to be so amended
as to give all bills, passed by both hou
ses Of congress, the force of law in al
cases, when, after such bills have bee
returned by the president with objec
tions, a majority Of both houses shal
nevertheless vote by yeas and nays, i
! favor Of their becoming laws.
