The Defalcation Debate and Bond's Speech on Swartwout
The House debates a defalcation committee as Mr Bond argues for ballot selection and holds the Jackson administration responsible for Swartwout’s defalcation of over a million dollars. He details the 1830s failures, the Bank system, and criticizes Treasury officials while praising the speech’s factual record and urging accountability.
