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 charters of such
banks, make the stockholder liable in
his individual capacity, for al least the
amount of his stock, Therefore,
ResoIpcd, That we will oppose the
charterinE of any banks, by the Iegisla-
ture of Ohio, unless the charter shall ex-
pressly recognize the right in the Legis-
lature TO amend and repeal the same at
pleasure.
ResoIDed, That the present unauthor-
lied currency of the country, is debased,
unsafe, and its circulation SHOULD be dis
cOuntenanced by every citizen.
RsSoIUed, That we view with utter dis.
appreciation, the efforts made by the
wings of the Unon to foist upon the
community, their shinpasters under
whatever name they may appear, be it
Fiscal Bank note or an Individual shin

Resolued, That we consider the es-
tabishment OF United States Bank or
Fiscal Bank with branches located Id the
States, in the Union without their con-

this republic and destructive to the PeO-
pie.
Resolued, That we view tho Indepen-
dent Treasury The only constitutional
'.Fiscal" system and safe to the People of
this country, to collect, retain, and dis
burse tho public money.
Rssolped, That we consider the dis
trioution Of the proceeds Of the sales of
the public lands violation Of the Con-
