Address of the Democratic Central Committee to Pennsylvanians No 6
The document argues that the Bank of the United States violated its charter and the constitution through a 1830s reform bill. It condemns the federal majority in the legislature for attempting a new charter without proper public notice or a reserve clause. The governor is praised for vetoing the bill and upholds constitutional protections, with future installments promised to examine the veto and broader banking issues.
