Gov. Porter, of Penn. has come out in his Mes

directly in opposition TO Van Buren's Message on
the currency question. He denounces the humbug
of an exclusive specie currency in the following
phatic language
"And what heightens the evils anticipated is the

circumstances would be obi ged to endure The hrnt

The above is just the of the subject which
