PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas. the principles of Democra'
cy, as we understand and practice them,
are and ever have been at war with any
and all kinds of Banks, having authority
to issue bills, unless the charter of such
banks makes the stockholder liable in
his individual capacity for at least the
amount of his stock.
Therefore Resolved, That we will OPP
pose he chartering ofany bank by the
Legislature of Ohio, unless stieh charter
shall expressly recognize the right in the
legislature ia amend or repeal the same
at pleasure.
Resolved, That the present. unorthori-
zed currency Of the country is debased'
unsafe, and its circulation should be dis
conntenanced by every citizen.
Resolved, That we view with utter dis.
approbatien--the efforts making by the
wings of Newtown, TO foist upon the
community their corporation shnplasters.
