Governor Porter has vetoed the bill releasing the banks of Pennsylvania from the penalty for refusing to redeem their bills with specie. The Locofocos in the Legislature have got up a project for the relief of the banks. It does not allow them to issue bank notes. That would be a breach of Democratic principles! But it allows them to issue paper in the similitude of bank notes. That is purely democratic!
