Initially, the Independent Treasury was opposed by the families and private interests who founded the First and Second (central) Banks of the United States, who lost their charter by 1833, subsequent to the election of Andrew Jackson. Later on, the Independent Treasury was opposed by powerful militarists during the Civil War, when the supply of specie was inadequate to fund the costs of the war.

Independent treasury act?

The Act was passed in 1840 and took the federal government out of the nation's banking system. It established federal depositories for public funds instead of keeping the money in national or state (pet) banks. President Martin Van Buren proposed the Act in 1837, partly in response to the panic of 1837 which had caused many people to lose their money during that period as well as public funds being lost. Under the Act, bank notes were phased out for payments to and from the government and only hard money was to be accepted--coin gold or silver. Sub treasuries were created for federal funds in several major cities, like Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. Wikipedia has an article on the Independent Treasury Act.

How did James Polk restore the treasury?

James K. Polk restored the treasury by implementing a system of independent treasury, which separated the government's finances from private banks. In 1846, he established the Independent Treasury Act, allowing the government to manage its own funds and hold them in federal vaults. This system aimed to stabilize the economy and reduce reliance on state and private banks. Polk's fiscal policies helped to eliminate the deficit and contribute to a more stable financial environment during his presidency.
