Mr Biddles Letter on Resumption of Specie Payment

The author examines Mr Biddle's reasons against resuming specie payments. He argues the people of Pennsylvania, not distant observers, should decide and notes a May vote would reveal support for immediate resumption. The piece challenges the claim that banks must curtail loans to resume and defends maintaining current specie levels if the public will continue to circulate notes.

Banks Should Resume Only When Causes of Suspension End

Mr. Biddle argues that banks ought to resume operations only after the factors that caused the suspension have ceased to exist, then proceeds to elaborate on the conditions and implications of such a restored ability to function.

Causes and Critique of the Suspension in 1837

A critical discussion argues the stated reasons for suspension of specie payments are not the true causes. It contends the specie circular and land sales did not trigger the action, while noting New York and Philadelphia bank movements and external pressures influenced the banks to suspend.
