The Second National Bank of the United States was the second federally authorized national bank. A private bank charged with doing public business, it was intended to keep the U.S. economy stable, smooth out variations in prices and trade, provide credit and a sound uniform national currency, provide financial services for the Treasury, and prevent inflation by regulating lending practices of state banks. The two major political parties of the time differed wildly in their opinion of the bank. The "National Republicans" led by Henry Clay and Daniel Webster were strong supporters; "Jacksonian Democrats" were fiercely opposed, claiming it favored financial elites, wealthy merchants, and speculators at the expense of farmers and craftsmen. Although it had received a 20-year charter from Congress in 1816, the National Republicans decided to re-charter the bank in 1832 to make the bank's continuance a Presidential election issue. President Andrew Jackson met the challenge head-on, and after Congress voted to re-charter the bank, he vetoed the bill and returned it to the Senate. Jackson and his Democrats turned the veto into a major populist rallying point and easily won re-election. While the economy initially continued to thrive, the bank's closure eventually led to the devasting Panic of 1837 and a recession lasting well into the next decade.
Broadsheets announcing Andrew Jackson's famous veto of the 1832 bank bill are scarce. At the time of listing, none are for sale in the trade. There is only one auction record listed at Rare Book Hub. While digital images are available through Gale, OCLC lists no physical copies held by any institution, however, the American Antiquarian Society has two (by two different printers) and the Library of Congress holds one by a third printer. This broadside is different from those three and not listed in Sabin, Howes, Eberstadt, Streeter, nor the

Payment
PayPal is preferred for both US and international payments.
Other methods of payment may be possible.
Shipping
Domestic Shipping.
Most orders are shipped to locations in the US at no additional cost. If not, shipping costs are set at a flat rate on an item-by-item basis.
Media mail shipping--when available and appropriate--is inexpensive but may take between two and four weeks, especially if delivery is to the west coast. If a quick delivery is important to you, please request USPS Priority Mail or some other expedited delivery service before paying.
International Shipping. International shipping is usually done through the eBay Global Shipping Program.  I know that this can be expensive, but I've switched to this method because I've had too many claims of non-receipt by international buyers.  If you contact me in advance of purchase it may be possible for me to ship directly to you.
If I ship directly, I will only ship overseas using a trackable method; this can be expensive, and it is non-negotiable.  Also, I will only enter true information on customs forms; if you  have a problem paying your nation's customs fees, that is beteen you and your government, I have nothing to do with it.
If you pay by PayPal, I will only ship to the shipping address specified by PayPal.
All shipments are covered by my business insurance at my expense, however if you would like to purchase additional USPS insurance at your expense, let me know, and I'll adjust your invoice accordingly.
