EPHRAIM CUTLER. ARUIS NYE. JAS. M. BOOTH. MARIETTA, May 3, 1834 ~~~~~~ March 29th, 1834 At a meeting of the citizens of Washington county, convened (in pursuance of a call signed by one hundred and fifty-three citizens) at the courthouse at Marietta, 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 following resolutions were adopted, which, with the following memorial, were presented by a committee selected for that purpose. "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 its business and concerns, render an expression of public sentiment proper at this time. Therefore, as the sense of the citizens here assembled, [404] Page 2 RESOLVED, That the removal, BY THE EXECUTIVE, of the public deposites 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 develope 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 a pre-eminent degree, the advantages of such a system, and has afforded the most safe, cheap, and desirable facilities for the exchanges and business of the country; and that, as a means and instrument to sustain and advance these great objects, and to save the country from impending distress and ruin in its pecuniary affairs, the best interests of the country require that it should be continued, at least for a limited time, under such modifications and 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 State on these subjects. RESOLVED, That a memorial to Congress expressive of the foregoing sentiments, and of the EFFECTS upon our business and concerns of the late Executive measures, be circulated for the signatures of citizens 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 presented, and unanimously adopted. The chair appointed the following gentlemen the central committee: Ephraim Cutler, Arius Nye, C. Emerson, J. Barker, jr., Jas. M. Booth. TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITES STATES OF AMERICA IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED: The memorial of the undersigned, citizens of the county of Washington in The state of Ohio, RESPECTFULLY REPRESENT: That, as a part of the American PEOPLE, deeply interested with their fellow-citizens, in the political and social condition of their common country, beg leave thus respectfully to submit to the Representatives of that people, the immediate guardians of their rights and their interest, 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 regulation of the national currency-of the whole monetary system of the country, upon which all our prosperity depends-have been, unlawfully, as they think, assumed by the President, and attempted to be withdrawn from those hand-hand of Congress-in which the constitution and the laws had placed the. A change in the [404] Page 3 administration of that branch of national affairs, the influence and the ramifications of which extend, directly, to all parts of the community--so momentous in its character and tendency, and so mischievous in its immediate EFFECTS and its necessary RESULTS, calls, your memorialalists think, for a decided expression of public sentiment, and most urgently upon the patriotism and the action of Congress for its correction. To CONGRESS, you 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 memorialists further respectfully represent that, although distant from the principal seats of commerce and capital, the EFFECTS which have flown from the removal of the public deposits from the Bank of the 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 circulating medium; 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 staples of the country; in a repression of enterprise, and 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 populations, 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 measures of the Executive, already mentions. 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 to them from the Bank of the United States; in the soundness of its paper circulation, and its unprecedented facilities for exchange and remittance, whilst its operations in this region of country contributed to sustain the credit, usefulness, and efficiency of the local banks. The change thus wrought, 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 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 relations 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 specie and bank paper; whilst they believe that a reduction of the business and people of THIS country to a MERE COIN CIRCULATION, is as impracticable, [404] Page 4 and would be as little desirable, as would be an entire change in the social habits of the people. Your memorialists, therefore, respectfully and earnestly pray that Congress ---moved by the paramount consideration, the well-being and prosperity of the people-will devise such means of relief as the present alarming and oppressed condition of the country most urgently demand.
