Address of the Democratic Central Committee on Governor Porter's veto
The document explains Gov Porter’s veto of the federal Reform Bank Bill of 1841, arguing the bill favored banks over public good. It contrasts Porter’s hard money stance and rapid resumption of specie payments with the federal reformers’ calls for unlimited suspension of specie payments and expanded bank powers, and notes constitutional objections to reviving the Bank of the United States without proper notice.
