April 28, 1834. Referred to the Committee on Finance, and ordered to be printed. To the honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled; Your memorialists, inhabitants of the city of Utica, and of the county of Oneida, in the State of New York, Respectfully Represent: That, but a few months ago, the people of these United States were prosperous and happy; there existed a sound and uniform public currency throughout the Union; public confidence was firm and unshaken; commerce was flourishing, and extending itself in every direction; manufactures and the various mechanic arts were in full and successful operation, affording employment and comfort to millions of laborers, and just returns of profit upon the investment of capital; and agriculture, the basis of national wealth, promised a rich reward to the labors of the husbandman. Now, the people are distressed and alarmed; the currency of the country is deranged; the local banks are compelled to withhold their usual loans; public and commercial confidence are not only shaken, but almost destroyed; commerce is languishing; merchants are failing; many manufactories have already ceased their operations, and their laborers are deprived of the means of subsistence, while others are struggling for existence; agricultural products are greatly reduced in value, and will scarcely command money at any price; and mechanics and artisans are, to a great extent, unemployed. What, allow your memorialists to ask, has occasioned this great and unparalleled change? And what can be done to relieve this wide-spread distress? In the opinion of your memorialists, the unfriendly attitude of the Executive Department of our Government in reference to the United States' Bank; the removal of the public deposites from its custody, and its consequent cessation to be employed as the fiscal agent of the Government, are the principal, if not the only, causes of the evils which our country is now suffering; and that nothing short of a speedy return to the long-tried and successful course of collecting and disbursing the public revenue by the agency of that institution will afford the desired relief Your memorialists, therefore, pray your honorable .body, in its wisdom, to adopt such measures as will cause the public revenues to be restored to their former depository, where they will be under the control of Congress; and to renew the charter of the United States' Bank, with proper modifications and restrictions, for such limited period as Congress may in its wisdom prescribe; or to adopt such other measures in relation to the public currency as shall restore general confider.ee, and the people of these Stales to the enjoyment of their former prosperity, and prevent any future recurrence of the evils which the community is now suffering. And your memorialists, as in duty bound, will ever pray, &c. Dated Oneida county, Slate of New York, March 10, 1834. Jonas P.
