To the Senate and Mouse of Kepresetitative of the United States, now assembled
at W ashington ntj The petition of the undersigned Citizens of Sw itzerland colintry, State of lndiann, respectfully represents : That the past experience of this country has fully demonstrated, the convenience and necessity of a circulating mcdiismv composed of bank notes, redeemable in specie, to supply the want of a sufficient nsetalic currency and, thit after full experiment, it clearly appears that local bankingin9ti tutions have not been able to furnish nNational currency, in any way adequate to the wants of the community, and that, n National bank, with branch es in the different States, is alone, competent to the task of regulating and producing such a currency, in a sound aud healthy condition, and to carry on the exchange between the different parts of the Union, upon the basis of a sound and wholesome currency. Your petitioners, are, therefore, of opionion that the existence of n National bank is indispensible to the prosperity of the community; and that the embarrassments, under which all the industrious classes now labor, and hechange from a state of unparallelled prosperity to a state of unparallelled distress, is mainly produced by the hostile attitude assumed by the executive of the United States towards the bank of the United States, and that the want rfan adequate circulating medium has unnecessarily been brought upon the country, by the removal of the public deposit's from that bank to local banks, which are incapable of furnishing the necessary accommodations to therommunitv; and the depreciationof the local bank bills of the several states, affords ample proof of the impracticability of converting local "paper money into a national r.urrency. Your petioners, therefore pray, as the only remedy for the existing distress, that the United States bank be re-chartered under such modifications and restrictions as Congress may i their wisdom, deem most expedient, and that the Public Deposiles be returned to the bank of the United States. And as in duty bound, they will ever pray. AptilS, 1834. ... -
