Bank Reform Absent in Locofoco Plans, Whigs Claim
The Whig readers condemn the late convention resolutions as hollow and hypocritical promises on bank reform. They cite rapid bank capital increases under Locofoco control, laws suspending specie payments, and tender statutes as proof that reforms are false. The piece argues reform rhetoric masks continued profligate banking, urging unity behind genuine constitutional credit and opposition to Locofoco misrule.

Democratic States and bank capital growth debate
The letter cites a partisan tally of states loyal to Jackson and Van Buren, alleging Democratic gains in banking capital from 1830 to 1836 and again through 1848. It lists New York and several states plus Missouri as examples, contrasts gains with Alabama Louisiana and Mississippi, and chides editors for arithmetic errors while claiming a vast national total.
