dttion of duties on tea, coffee, molasses, salt
ad other necessaries of life, since the commence
cent of the present administration, has been $40,
10000, and before the passage of the present
Tariff Bill. OF BY his veto on the May~vile
Road Bill, Andrew jackson has saved the Anne
rican people from endless taxation and perma
nen debt
He has saved 81 100000 by his economy in
our reign relations In the four years of Mr.
Adams administration, the foreign intercourse
of the country cost the people, on an average
S556,l97 year. During >he present admins
tration, the expenses for the same have not aver
aged Sa5O,O00 per year, exhibiting, in this parti-
cuIar only, a saving Of 100000 per year.
He has saved the nation more than 81 ,000,-
900 in the Naval Department This is shown by
the last report from that department. The same
economy may be traced throughout all the de-
partments.
On the subject of our foreign relations, Gen.
jackson says, in his first message: "Blessed as
our country is with every thing which constitutes
national strength, she is fully adequate to the
maintenance of all ouI interests. In dlscharging
the responsible trust cOnided in the Executive in
this respect, it is my settled purpose to ask nothing
that IS not clearly right, and submit to nothing
that is lcroag."
We now seethe berehts resulting from such a
0c,t-rrIiua1ion by the number Of treaties effected
by Gen. jackson upon the most honorable and
beneficial terms to our country. Ii the European
nations have not feared Andrew jackson, most
certainly they have respected his administration
by now giving us our long contested rights.
He has obtained the profitable trade of the
British colonies, the effects of which have been 10
infilse new life into the whole industry of The
H. oh sI(N,rp I
regards all the States bordering on Canada-
and thus, in fact, afording us almost monopoly
ofall the grain markets of Great Britain L.
no period of general peace have our productions
borne so high price as they have under the ad-
ministration ofthe present chief magistrate. This
trade, at a moderate calculation, is estimated to
be worth 100000 year--for three years it is
SS.000,000.
He has recovered our claims on the govern
men,s of Denmark, on Brazil, or Colombia, and
on France All of them have defed every effort
of former presidents, but have yielded to the en-
ergv. decision, and frankness of Gen. Jackson.
The payment of these almost hopeless claims
puts over S7,000,000 into the pockets of our
countrymen.
He has made advantageous treaties OF COM
merce with Colombla and Mexico, and freed us
from an oppressive and insulting duty Of dscrin-
ination which the former had imposed upon our
commerce.
He has made treaty with Turkey and Aus
tria, and opened to the American merchants a
trade equal to the most favored nation. The
treaty with Turkey is estimated to be worth
500, 600 per year--ior three years it is mil
lion and half of dollars.
Here, then, is short but correct statement of
our on relations He has placed them upon
a I'd and lofty eminence, becoming gallant
Dc e. and we now enjoy that admiration and re-
s. &c, of other nations, which, of themselves, are
tower of strength Has any administrator
ever equaled this ia their negotiations with for
eign powers? n never.
FL has saved the people, by an increase of the
P.sr Ohce revenue Sl50,OOO per annum-for
four Years, makes 100000: besides, nearl,
100000 more have been saved in mail contracts
which have expired and been renewed On better
terms.
He has paid off the national debt, S543,S7 a
year more than Messrs. Adams and Clay did
this for four years is 2,l75,516 dollars; he has
paid 10 the State of Massachusetts an old claim
of433, 74S dollars; and this, TOO, Notwithstanding
the reduction of the revenue during his admins
traton Of 10 500 600 dollars the necessaries OF

million of miles beyond any former period, and
increased their expedition on numerous routes
One instance we will gye-between New Or.
leans and Baltimore, from 2S to IL days.
The foregoing facts all taken from public
documents, and the people can read and examine
for themselves. But these are not all the bene-
fits which have resulted to the people from the adj
minisiration of Gen. Jackson. Your committee
will add to this in further report.
