hat the legislature of New Jersey have not seen any
reason to depart from such resolutions since the passage thereof,
and it is their wish that they should receive from our Senators and
Representatives of this State in the Congress of the United States that
attention and obedience which are due to the opinion of a sovereign
State openly expressed in its legislative capacity.

On the 2d of January, 1834, the senate and house of representatives
composing the legislature of Ohio passed a preamble and resolutions in
the following words:

Whereas there is reason to believe that the Bank of the United States
will attempt to obtain a renewal of its charter at the present session
of Congress; and

Whereas it is abundantly evident that said bank has exercised powers
derogatory to the spirit of our free institutions and dangerous to the
liberties of these United States; and

Whereas there is just reason to doubt the constitutional power of
Congress to grant acts of incorporation for banking purposes out of
the District of Columbia; and

Whereas we believe the proper disposal of the public lands to be of the
utmost importance to the people of these United States, and that honor
and good faith require their equitable distribution: Therefore,

_Resolved by the general assembly of the State of Ohio_, That we
consider the removal of the public deposits from the Bank of the United
States as required by the best interests of our country, and that a
proper sense of public duty imperiously demanded that that institution
should be no longer used as a depository of the public funds.

_Resolved also_, That we view with decided disapprobation the renewed
attempts in Congress to secure the passage of the bill providing for the
disposal of the public domain upon the principles proposed by Mr. Clay,
inasmuch as we believe that such a law would be unequal in its
operations and unjust in its results.

_Resolved also_, That we heartily approve of the principles set forth
in the late veto message upon that subject; and

_Resolved_, That our Senators in Congress be instructed and our
Representatives requested to use their influence to prevent the
rechartering of the Bank of the United States, to sustain the
Administration in its removal of the public deposits, and to oppose the
passage of a land bill containing the principles adopted in the act upon
that subject passe
