The- extra sessio of the forty-fifth
Congress convened on Monday last.
The, Senate being a continuous' body
had no officers to elect. In the How,
HAM S. J. !ASSAM: was re-elected
Speaker by strict party tote, the
Republicansl, voting fob 9Airyixt).
The President's Message was sent to
Congress on Tuesday.' The docu
ment is quit! brief, referring only, to
the subject f appropriat,ons for the
army and +Y.-
It is thought the - session will be
shOrt, as there is dr/disposition *on
the part of both H/uses to expedite
platters.- The' appointments made
during the 'oecess, and such changes
as have been agreed upon will be rol
fervid to the / Senate before .adjount

A .few' wily politicians in 'this
State having succeeded in securing a
Coalition of the Greenback and Work
ingmen's tiarties, the question now
arises, irhat can the latter hope to
secure by such , a fusion ? _No party,
now in existence, can benefit, the .
workingman -so effectually as the
Repn Hain. The Democracy hate
always \ n and still are tree trade:
If we had, had a - Democratic Presi
dent,rk\l\iat

gress made of men like Senator
WALLACE an Representative Iltacx-

wouta not be aJo 'ling mitt or fur

are in favor of free tra e, and would
have o pened our ports to the pro
l
'ducts of the furnaces an 'factories
of the Old World. , tnglart } France
Belgium and -Germany wo have
supplied us. in ruinous com I • itiop
with our , on n workingmen. We can
prove this 'by history. When. e
Deinocracy were in power, our me'
ehanics always<got a backset,because
, -
that party favored free trade. . When
I .
the Wh ig , or Republican party con
trolled Congress, American labor al
ways prospered, because it was prop
erly protected. ~The statistical his
tory of the country proves this state
ment. ' What, then, is the duty of
workingmen?
_ls it to go into inslep-,
endent organization, ,whe' re' they can
effect little, if anything, to _ further
their interest, or to remain in the
ranks of the Republican organiza
tion and sustain its 'Platt / oral and
candidates pledged to the,support of
every principle afia policy calculat
ed 'to '
insure their prosperity ? It
will not require long reflection to
decide such. - .a question., There
never was a time before *hen, as
now the interests of workingmen were
so closely bound up in the result of
an election. If the. Republican par
ty wins, they'win—if .it loses, they
lose. This is just as sure as that the•

The .new publisher, in his card to
the public, says the Press will be

of political, corporate or ecclesiasti

that the position of the editor cannot

Tux historypf ;the two political

debt of $41,000,000 was created.

the debt has been reduced to about

eloquently for the 'integrity oil Be,

of Republican principles and mess'

We nOw allude -the darling Demp
eratio " to-the
that the \l \ lepub-
Ileini party would divide. Tlutt or
ganization which bad so repeatedly

der beneath itti. feet,---that had • puts
down domestic insurrecalon, sustain
ed the national power—was to be
divided this fall, driven asunder and
torn into angry factions, alt to please
the Democracy. But the orgattiza-_,
tion won't divide. There_ - is too
much genuine cohesion in it; the
principles which it sustains are too
full of vitalizing force, and the ob.
pet, it hat .in view too honorable and
essential to national life and pros
perity... For" these. romona the Re
publicati: party of thelceystone State
is as lirni\ast... the arch- iihitih it typ
ically lock f. Under no circumstances
will it=afford\its opponents an oppor
tunity-to steal \ a victory.. There is
not anything within or without the
State that t.ri affect the harmony or
the energy or this irganization. It
won't divide;that's certain., It never
presents a ragged edge in a battle
array. We therefore deEiire the De
mocracy to look elsewherp for schisms.

The Whig party was opposed to \ the
war with Mexico. They believed that
President Polk, in pressing the claims Oe`
our citizens onehe government of Mexico`
in a threatenineand offensive manner, in
tended to force her into 0 war in order te
despoil-her of part of her territory, - but
when the war actually commenced the
Whigs to a man,
stood by their country's
flag and helped to bear e it in triumph to
\ the halls of the Montezuma
&
1\ At the beginning of the alavebolder's
e
rebellion, the Democratic : patty Was'unan
imously opposed -to coercive measure&
but, when the rebels made waren the goy
' ernmeet, such Democrats'as Dirt, Butler,
and Logan, drew their swords in defense
teethe nation,, and together with thous
ands of patriotic Democrats who caitied
the musket, stood valiantly- by their
country's flag. Their conduct is the metre
praiseworthy being in such strikieg e coke,
trast with the conduct of Seymour , Val.e
landinghatn, and Tilden, who plad all
the obstacle', in the way of a successful
presecution of the war which they dared.
Patriotism was the ark of safety. , The
Union was preserved, and only preserved
because a majority of the people stood by
the flag. If there are good reasons why,'
in time of war 'we should stied by' •our ,
iOutetryls 'flag, there are good reasons
wheem times of political peril, we should
stand by our party's flag. The national
banner represents the nation and its insti
tutions, the political banner' represents
the party and its principles. In all free
governments political parties are a neces
sity: . Popular governments must be ad
ministered by-the popular party, and a
government is powerless that has not a
powerful-party at its back. The history
of our own, and all other countries where
the people vote, shows that the govern
ment will alivays be administered by one
or the other of the two great, parties
which, by the constant watchfulness of its
antagonist, if not ream its own sense of
justice and love of lebeesty, will in gener
al be kept from great errors of adminis- .
tration, or prodigality in the public ex
penditures. -
The third and fourth parties which free
quently spring up are usually composed
of stragglers from the first two, men with
one prominent idea, et men who arc so
desirous of being leaders that they . care
but little here senall a baud they lead.
Like guerrillasen war they may harr.'es
their enemies, but they never accomplish
any great results. There are no ptesent
indications that a new party is coming,in
to the field, which will be able to thrust
the old parties aside. Either the Reputi-
lican,.or the Democratic party will cOn
trol the government in 1880. Which sbal
it he?
. The Republican party is not so !limn°.
nious as could fie wished. Many believe
that the President's S'outhern policy is
the fulfillment of a bargain made ,with
which
John Young Brown avid - other Southern
.
leaders, by which the counting of the vote
was completed and the Presidency secur
ed for Hayes. Others think that the giv r ,
ing up of two Republican States to a mob
of armed Democrats has, destroyed
the Republican party in the South, and
made it very diftictilt if not utterly impos
sible ever, to .elect another Republicau \
resident.. They fear he has uticonscions-

. them that i ey fought bravely for their
convJctions a d that Northern Men did
the same, 'that it was, a war in which
Greek met Gree • and the side which had
the most Greeks on the battle.' If he
desired to say anyt ing they believe he
should have said : ' - Idlers of the don

They consider his civil service . order a
tyrannical exercise of executive power, an
unjustifiable interference .with political
freedom and private • rights, only to be
tolerated under despotic governments.
They believe that the -citizen surrenders
nonei,of his political nights When he ac
cepts office, and that se long as he per
forms his official duties faithfully,' the
PfEsident, has no'more business to preventt!
hiin from acting as the. chairman of a I
committee or making. a political speech,
than he has to prevent, him from whiSper-
ing to his wife. They fear that the Pres- . 1
Went is determined to force his 'policy on',
the party or destroy it. Their fears may
be groundless, their opinions erroneous,
and their utterances impolitic and unwise.
We are not now, saying that these, Repub
licans who constitute
- the great body of
the party are right and. the President
wrong, ' , ,sve are simply stating the fact that
there are divisons in the party as there
were divisions- in the early Christian
Church, but- they are differences Which
shoUld not divide, they are differences of
opinion which should not separate &roads,
and it is the duty of all good Republicans
to exercise an enlarged Christian charity
and Labor for the restoration of harmony.
One should not say, I ain for -Hayes, an
ether, I am for Blaine, and another that
I :Mr for Conkling, but all should say we
are iiir,the Republican party. We believe
in its we glory in its history.
and we -will stand by its flag l The party
whose creed contains the equal rights of
all Med, the universal brotherhood, the
elevation ofthe human race,' is clothed
with immortality and will never die until
it puts off its sacred. vestments by the
abandonment of its principleg. •
The-Republican 'party stood up` forthe
rights of man When the Democratic party
stood for the rights of \ property in man.
It stood by the nation's flag when the
Democratic patty, as a\party, faltered.
It gave the colored laborers-the right to
their labor,. and will never Permit. white
laborers to be trampled into the dust by
soulless corporations. It is the, genuine
green-back party, It gave us-the,-green
-back currency, and by wise legislation
which preserised the public has
made it nearly equal in Value to gold,'and
more valeable than silver. It is the_par
ty of temperance, of progress, of
tion„and moral reform; it is full olvitab.
ty, and will have ktriumPhant future be
cause Republicans love it.kand when dan
ger threatens will forget their differences
of opinion and stand by it.
TriE effOrt to Bemire votes, for the

The coming struggle j"ennsylvania is
of supreme importance tai the welfare of
the people, who through the busy 'efforts
of demagogues have been kept uneasy
ands restleis,. Much as we deplore the.
preistration of industrial interests in the
land, we-remind you than this condition
of things is not the result of government
al policy, and that England and other na
tions of Europe are all suffering in like
manner and from like cause. The con
stantly increasing signs of freshly awak
ened prosperity show that the Republican
adininistratiorr of affairs during, an im
portanferisis• has been prudent and aga-
Cions. -Should the continuance of this
wise Republfean control be assured by
your votes the fact cannot be doubted
that the time has nearliarrived when, by
the laws of trade, the greenback dollar
will bn,equivalent to a gold . dollar, and
the hborer will receive for his day's labor
the dollar which promises its' full ex
changeable value. And thus l j abor and
. capital will find full employment. -
* To those of our fellow-citizer.s who'
have been misled by false pretense and by
ingenius sophistry, and who have wavered
in their allegiance to the party- which has
been the constant champion of American
labor, we appeal for a critical judgruent
of the insincerity of the professionik, of
those, agitators in the Democritie party,
who, claiming , to represent labor, have
unifortrily betrayed it at the polls. In
Ohio, as on former occasions, the 'only
honest adhcreutiof the saealled
issues " were drawn from the Ifepublican
ranks., Deceived by false protestations
arid betrayed by an insincere alliance they
have not aided their own cause, but bare
Itilaced the garlands of svictery at 'the feet
of their worst enemies.s, The lesson of
Ohio should teach the avoidance of so fa
tat. a blunder in yenosylyania.
