Democratic Caucus on the Financial
Question.

At the Democratic caucns tonight at the
Capitol about one hundred members OF the
House and twelve or fifteen senator's were
present. Many short speeches were mace
on the financial quostion-the purpose for
which the Caucus mct-and finally resoiu-
ton was adopted for the appointment OF a
committee, consisting OF nine members oil
the House and four senator's, to whom were
referred the pending proposition of Repre-.
sentative Lapders for the repeal Of the specie
resumption, and that OF Representative
Payne for a gradual resumption of specie
payments and the committee were instructed
to report a financial platform TO an adjourned
meeting OF tho caucus on Thursday next.
More than usual care was taken TO prevent
a disclosure Of the proceedings, but it is
known that the majority who spoke coun-
sclcd Cancellation and harmony, it being alb.
soutcIy necessary that the Democracy should
present, if possible, an unbroken front on
the financial question. and frame platform
which they could present TO the entire coun-
try. instead Of members Of the party in diff
feycnt States separately attempting to cstab.
Ii,h tinancial principle for the entire party.
