Porter TO that distinction, his claims assuredly rest
on firm basis. David r. Porter has done more for
the honor and welfare OF the State, and has shown
more decision and energy of character under truly
perplexing circumstances, than fell to the lot of
any of his predecessors in Office MIR. Porter de-
the thanks not only of Pennsylvania but of the
whole country.--PhH Mercury
