Loco Foco Destructive Opinions Of Governor
Porter.

The true blue loco focos do not seem at all
satisfied with the course of Gov. Porter, of Pa.
1t was with great difficulty that the spirit of de-
nunciaton could be checked here, and it was to
head quarters that Gov. Porter referred when he
took conservative ground regardless of any
denunciation that might be poured forth from
any quarter" Among the number of loco foco
denunciations the Vicksburg Sentinel and Ex-
positor has been conspicuous. We make from
that paper the following beautiful extracts:
REPEAL OF BANK CHARTERs--We are gratifed
TO that the House of Representatives of Pennsyl
vania have authorized the introduction of bill TO re-
peal the charter Of the u. s. Bank. If they would
pass the BILL and then impeach the herng democratic
traitor Cor. Porter, for maIfeasance in office Mcp
,rould corer themselves acith glory We beiiere Cor
Porter nert TO Cor. Shannon, of Ohio, one of the
most corrupt Of the present corrupt age. His
whole conduct towards the U. s. Bank and the Grard
Bank indicate degree Of prostitution unparalleled in
the history ofoiicial depravity.
Had he been the Democratic Governor of Mis-
sisspp and have sent such balance and strike paper
to our legislature he icouid hare been burned in ept
by honest loco focos He is a contemplate trim
mer /; and dishonest Cor Shannon or our thiev-
ing loco focos The party will never prosper till all
such traitors are cut off by the knees.
"We it stated in the Nachez Courier that the
hiering democrats talk of bringing before the egis
laturc. We wish they would and give us the priv
ege of sending for persons and papers We think the
trial would show that if they had supported banks and
abandoned the people, that they received handsome
accommodations We would bring up the books o.
every bank in the State, TO prove their corruption
They dare not bring us up We wish they would"
The sold Dominion" of Va, has also added
its little mite to the thunder directed agains,
Gov. Porter. Witness the following:
Modification and sorrow is stamped upon the
countenance of all our political friends at the mon
srous trcachery of Gov Porter Of Pennsylvania, in
relation to the piratcal bandtti the chartered swim
ders of that State and their lying paper rag promises
to pay His cup of political depravity has overfowed
his infamy is perfect and entire, wanting nothing at
moment of the greatest possible Importance the wei
fare and permanent prosperity of the democratic party
he has played the Judas scarot and sold his princ
pies for handful of bank rags. Had the crisis re.
quired nerve, moral courage, the exercise Of uncom
mon frmness, there might be slight colorng of pallia
of this was required his matchless treason to the
democracy, therefore, can only be accounted for on
the score of his native corruption He perhaps did moi
sell his democratic principles, as | remarked above
having none to barter away; he simply unmaske
himself to the full gaze of an astonished world.
know not how the fact may be- but will venture To
