Union, Arkansas on June 15, 1836, and Michigan on January 26, 1837. By the census of 1830 the population of the United States was found to be 12,870,000. Thus during the forty years since the first census was taken the country had multiplied its population by nearly three and a third.

2. In 1832 Congress passed a bill to give the national bank a new charter for a long term of years. Jackson, who hated and feared the bank, vetoed the measure.

■Jackson promptly prepared to compel obedience. The matter was peaceably settled, however, by a compromise bill.
