That Gov. Porter promised to Sign the Ret'ef
Bill iften loco tocO members Of the House 'ooufd
cote for At.
That ten OF them signed uritten pledge TO do
so. ,chich thcy afteraoardS utolated by voting "a
gainst the bill, thus encouraging the Governor
10 veto ii.
That after he had vetoed it, he induced t@",
teen of has friends 10 cote for ii, and se'eiai
others 10 dodge the question, so that Il oe'anlo
q law without his signature, by the Co"S'''u-
tional majority.
That from these evidences, there IS ho'
particle of doubt that he ,cas 'oartnty :" JaV0T q
the bill but had not the "nerve" to sign IL, ana
therefore threw the responsibility OF passing 1t
on his friends. o>Tr
uUWnPFn AND EIGHT THOUSAND
FICHT Kindred DOLLARS per anauni
more thar Ritner's.
Th., ,be State debt has been increased from
,,,ont,. t,uy millions TO FORTY MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS since Porter was elected Gov.
beipo at the rae of EIGHT MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS PER ANNUM!
That the Legislature has been alleged to re-
sort TO the most burdenSonpe tarattOm under which
any people ever groaned TO pay The interest
on this alarming debt, and prevent the credit ol
the State from being absolutely annihilated
That if Porter should be reelected and
Legislature willing 10 carry out his eXtraordin-
ary scenes of expenditure, at the end OF MS
second term, at the rate the public debt has IN
creased for the last two years 1t would be about
SEVENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, or
tour hundred dollars for every man woman and
child in the Commonwealth, and tcceice hundred
for euery tara5tc anh0Jqtant.
What think you of this condition of things,
tax PAYERS Of Pennsylvania Are you prepared
to authorize this mortgage on your property, as
YOU most certainly will if you re-elect David
Il Porter, and a loco foco Legislature
KEEP 1T FURTHER BEFORE THE
PEOPLE
That David r. Porter VETOED TEN M
FORTANT BILLS THE LAST SESSION,
four of which were for gio'mg pOrer to the peo-
pic---,wO relative to the election OF Mayor by
the people of Lancaster, one for the election OF
Canal Commissioners, and one for the election
OF officers for the management OF the Chester
county prison, and one 10 authorize a certain
religious society TO hold real estate, one TO pay
the Contractors who have been kept out of their
money for more than two years, two to pay
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, on
which the State is paying and has been paying
for two years, double interest-ten per cent
aud several other important Bills.
That he has granted a PreUiouS Pardon for
alledged crimes,--a thing never attempted be-
fore in this country.
Tha, he HAS DRAWN MONEY OUT OF
THE TREASURY soithout authority Of Iato,
and CONTRARY To THE EXPRESS
PROVISIOFS OF THE CONSTITUTION,
TO REGARD has brother and another partizan ta-
UOrTte, for certain extra party services, TO sane
,ion which he has sought in vain for prece-
dents.
That his Board of Canal Commissioners
haze ShOwn the grosSeSt faUOritism to political
friends, ALLOTING TO THEM IN NU-
MEROUS INSTANCES, CONTRACTS AT
ENORMOUS PRICES, when better men who
happened TO be of differen: politics, had pro-
posed TO do the same work at reasonable prl-
Ces.
These are few OF the considerations which
it would be well for the People of this State to
reflect seriously upon Ill making up their minds
for which of the two candidates they will cast
their sulfrages al the coming election. Harris
