RESOLUTIONS AND MEMORIAL OF A MEETING OF THE MECHANICS, MANUFACTURERS, AND LABOURING MEN, OF THE SECOND WARD OF THE CITY OF NEW-YORK, ON THE SUBJECT OF THE REMOVAL OF THE PUBLIC DEPOSITES FROM THE UNITED STATES BANK.
[New York? 1834?]. 2pp + 2 blanks. Folded folio sheet. A couple of short closed tears in blank outer margin [no loss], light edgewear. Very Good.
A scarce "numerous meeting" on January 31 [probably 1834], denouncing President Jackson for removing federal deposits from the Bank of the United States and depositing them in state banks. He is "a usurper, and a tyrant." No Nation can call itself republican "if ONE MAN is by virtue of that Constitution commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and at the same time can control the monies belonging to the nation."
Signed in type by Edward Rockwell, Chairman, and Edward T. Backhouse and Charles Colgate, Secretaries. A rare item.
