Public opinion against specie payments in Marion County
At a June 1841 meeting in Marion County a 21 member committee reported a preamble and resolutions opposing gold and silver payments. The text brands specie demand as unwise unjust and extraordinary, pledges to boycott merchants and lawyers enforcing it, condemns banks in suspension, and calls other counties to join. It also notes support for note redemption at par and suspending specie demand until property sales avoid major losses.
