XII. BANKS IN THE UNITED STATES.

On the 10th July, 1832, the House of Representatives adopted a Resolution, that the Secretary of the Treasury should lay before the House, at each session of Congress, copies of such Reports, showing the condition of the different State banks, as might have been communicated to the authorities of the several States within the year and made public; and, in want thereof, to supply the deficiency, in the best manner possible, with other authentic information. Under the authority of this Resolution, reports were made by the Treasury department. The American Almanac for 1841, page 133, contains a condensed statement of the reports that had been published up to that time.

On the 7th August, 1846, the Secretary of the Treasury reported to the House the returns of the State Banks from 1841 to 1846 inclusive, which, for several years, had not been made. This report has been printed; and from it a general statement of the condition of the banks in the United States, for the years 1842 and 1845, and also a comparative view of their condition, from 1834 to 1846 inclusive, are given. It is a document of 1261 pages, and contains copious extracts from the messages of governors; the reports of bank commissioners and legislative committees of the several States, relating to banks and banking operations during that period; and also the correspondence between foreign bondholders and the governors of States upon the subject of repudiation. The history of the troubles of the Bank of the United States, the reports of the different committees of investigation, and the letters of Mr. Nicholas Biddle, are likewise given.
