RED out during the brief period of this admin.
lstlat!on are totally repugnant to the true
principles Of the national government, hos
tile to the national constitution, subversive
OF the rights Of the several states and dam.
gerous to civil liberty.
2. Resolued. That in our opinion, the late
extraordinary Session of Congress con.
vened IN so short a time after the adjourn
ment OF the regular session, and without the
intervention Of any sudden emergency or
any material change in the domestic or for
eIsn relations Of the national government
was wholly uncalled for, and foreign to the
tue interest Of the government.
8. Rssoluei, That We feel it our duty to
express our diSapprobation Of the conduct of
~ the presen, administration in repeating the
law for the safe keeping and disbursing the
public revenne; and leaving the national
treasury under the control Of the executive,
which has been heretofore so often denoun-

I. R.SolUel. That we have looked in
vain for that retrenchment and reform prom
ised By the present administration party.
previous TO their coming into power; for in
stead of retrenchment and retnrm we behold
repeated abuses in every shape. and unpar-
aIieled extravaganza upon every hand. We
hear the proclamation of the President, in a
few DAYS after his Inauguration CALM an
extra Session Of Congress without any just
reasons whatever-we see this same Con-
gress when met squandering the public mon,
ey and making extravaganza, and unconstitu-
tional donations Of il to private individuals

see this same Congress ptotracted TO m un.
necessary length thereby increasing the ex,
penses OF the Government 10 an alarming
! extent. and further, see this same Congress
