EXTRA SESSION OV CONGRESS.
4. Tbat the present extra session of
Congress, thus compelled by Demo
cratic conspirators, bas been prolonged
beyoud'all possible excuse, not only to
a depletion of tbe Treasury, but also to
tbe grave detriment of every industrial
and commercial interest of the country,
by uncalled for agitation of several
questions ; by persistent efforts in hos
tility to the resumption of specie pay
ments, already Lappily accomplished ;
by constantly tampering with tbe cur
rency system, unsurpassed in the world ;
by re-opening and stimulating sectional
controversy, avowed determination to
repeal all war legislation, and by seek
ing to inaugurate a reactionary revolu
tion, designed to restore full power to a
'solid South" in tbe affairs of tbe Gov
ernment. FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION.
5. That tbe financial administration
of tbe Republican party in accomplish
ing tbe great work of the resumption of

ibau the former rates, thereby alone
saving to the treasury $13,000000 per
year, and in enhancing the national
credit to a standing ucver before at
tained, is a source of just pride to tbe
Republican of Obio, acd deserves tbe
wa: m approbation of tbe American peo
ple. THE PISTI UBANCE.
6. That this perpetual disturbance of
