BECAUSE, lie mas eXpeHueu ten nliNOnS Ol
dollars without having affected any thing to the
benefit of the state, but gave nearly every dol
lar into the hands of his Political Robbers.
BECAUSE, We consider the ONE TERM
PRINCIPLE the most salutary means TO keep
together the Democratic party and give strength
TO all our undertakings.
BECAUSE, He has borrowed 100000 dollars
from the U. S. Bank, four days before she sus-
pended specie payment. with the full knOwl-
edge that she would suspend,) by this act of
outrage on the Democratic party, he has identi-
/ fed himself completely as the friend of the U.
/ S. Bank
! BECAUSE, We have been fighting against the
/ U. S. Bank for ten years with all our might,
and were victorious, with the great Jackson at
our head but in spite of our exertion D. K.
Porter has deserted US by going soul and body
for the monster. s..
BECAUSE, He signed ALI act of Incorporation
for Rail Road, going through the district Of
| Kensington, in the county of Philadelphia, 10
foreign company, thereby destroying an i'm
mense property and streets in said district with
out any compensation 10 the properly holders
against the expressed will of upwards of 1000
inhabitants, which we consider unjust and with.
out being called for, to the great injury of the
can approve OF.
BECAUSE, When bill was passed by the
| Legislature of this Commonwealth at their. late
Session, providing for the institution of suit
at Law, against the late State Treasurer forSthe
purpose of determining The legality Of the pay
ment of large fees to the Governors brother
and the Attorney General; Governor Porter re-
tanned the bill and prevented its enactment into
fbre IN he
investigation provided for by the bill and afford
/ ing just grounds for suspecling that the pay
ment in question was made under authority IL
legally and unwarrantably assumed by the Ex-
ecutiYe.
BECAUSE, After formal and solemn promises
to approve of Bill for rendering the Canal
Commissioners elective by the people, he has
retained the bill passed for that purpose by the
Senate and House Of Representatives, which
! is in effect veto, thus evincing his contempt
of the Democratic principles which refers the
selection of the officers of Government to he
will and the votes of the Governed.
BECAUSE, The State Debt under the admin
istration of the present Governor has been in
creased by the addition Of nearly ten millions
of dollars, and a crisis has been reached in the
/ fiscal Department Of the Government, in which
nothing but an Immediate and radical change
both pf men and measures can save the people
of this great Commonwealth from the shame
and infamy Of State Bankruptcy and ruin.
! BECAUSE, From the bargaining between ].
! Madison Porter and the President of the U. S.
/ Bank-the large loans 10 said Porter and Ator-
ney General Johnson, from the bank, and the
appointment of the Governors nephew TO an
Office in the Bank at a salary of So O00 there
is every reason TO believe that the Governor
entered into an unholy, traitorous and criminal
alliance with the bank--an institution for whose
destruction every Democrat has labored with
unading assiduity since the period when its
character and designs were detected, and de-
nounced by that illustrous statesman and Pa.
triot Andrew Jackson.
BECAUSE, He on several occasions Pardon
bringing disgrace TO the laws of our State, when
he in fact ought 10 be The guardian OF the State
to see that every man that violates the sacred
laws should be punished accordingly.
BECATsE, He has suffered the Central Com
mittee TO lay tax or contribution on each
and every one of the Clerks of the different Of
fees at Harrisburg of 200 dollars to carry on
and delray the expenses of his coming election;
an act of the most aristocratic and shameful
character.
The foregoing reasons we deem sufficient to
Justify our acl, and TO take away every susp-
con of having treated D. r. Porter with injus-
tice.
We respectfully submit them to the candid
consideration of the DEMOCRACY OF PENNsYL-
vANIA.
