FACTs-TRIUMPHANT FACTS.
WHAT HAS GEN. JACKSON DONE.

was held on the 18th inst. one hundred
members present; when report sub
mit,ed by the standing committee was
read and unanimously adopted, and 10
published in The last MorrisvilIe Obser-
YER and Recorder. From this succi net
and most conclusive review of facts and
results of the administration Of ANDREW
JACKSON, we make the following ex-
tracts:-AD my Argus.
They did not suppose it necessary
to 90 back, TO the early history of Andrew
Jackson-&to show his devotion to the
country in the revolutionary war--or
his patriotism in defence Of our western
frontier against the Indians-or to the
more recent and glorious victory obtain-
ed lby him over the British at New Or
leans but to present to you the bene-
fits resulting from his administration, as
President Of the United States. /" Re
form' was the motto when he came into
office, and how completely have the
anticipations Of his friends been real
lied He has doubly filled the mea-
sure of his country's glory"
He has detected frauds, defalcations,
miapfal salaries and unlawful COMMITS
sions, whereby more than 100000 of
the peoples money have been plundered
from the Treasury by men who had
been continued in Office by the Adams
and Clay Administration. Watkins,
Nourse, Hay, FiIlebrown, Peake and
Hawkins are among the number. Two
naval officers have been detected in
frauds upon the Treasury. to a large a
mount JAcKsoN's rigid system Of ac-
couniability developed the " Black List"
that was removed, and we trust better
men appointed in their room and to
prevent the repetition Of 81 niIar frauds,
he has established such checks as will
defy the most artfnl.
He has saved the nation more than
$I3, ,0OO, 900 by his Veto on the Mays
vile Road Bill, which amount was 10
train, and would have been expended
wholly for local purposes. The nation
al improvement system was rapidly ex-
tending: surveys had been made pro-
jects involving the expenditure of hun
dred millions had been formed: and
a most gigantic system of corruption
was growing into existence. Had this
policy Of Henry Clay been pursued, the !
national debt al this moment would have |
been more than $40, 100000. But by !
the economy Of Gen. Jackson, the ma
tional debt will be extinguished at the
end Of the present term ; although the
reduction Of duties on tea, and coffee,
molasses, salt and other necessaries Of
lifes since the commencement Of the
present admiuistrasion, is~s 6eeu sio.-
500, 900, and before the passage of the
present tariff bili-GT By this veto on
the Maysville Road Bill, Andrew jack
son has saved the American people
from endless taxation and permanent
debt.
He has saved 81, 200. 900 by his econ
omy in our foreign relations. In the
four years Of Mr.. Adams Administra-
tion, the foreign intercourse Of the coun-
try cost the people on an average, 1885,
l97 year. During the present Admin
istration the expenses for the same have
not averaged $25O,OOO per year-ex-
hibiting in this particular only saving
of SOC, 900 per year.
He has saved the nation moro than
81 900, 900 in the Naval Department.
This is shown by the last report from
that department.. The same economy
may be traced throughout all the depart
ments.
On the subject of our foreign relations
General Jackson says, in his first mes
sage a" Blessed a. our country is with
every thing which constitutes national
strength, she is fully adequate to the
maintenance Of all our interests. In
discharging the responsible trust conf
ded in the executive in this respect, il 10
my settled purpose to ask nothing that
Is not clearly right, and submit to nothing
that Is ,0rong."
We now see the benefits resulting
from such determination by the number
Of treaties effected by General Jackson
upon the most honorable and beneficial
terms to our country. 1.-THE European
Nations have not feared Andrew Jack
son moot certainly they have respected
his administration by now giving us our
long and contested rights.
He has obtained The profitable trade
Of the British colonies, the effect of
which have been to infuse new life into
the whole industry Of the Union--to re-
peal the English Corn Lava" az re-
gards all the States bordering on Cana
da--and thus, in fact, affording US al
most monopoly Of oil the grain mar
kets Of Great Britain. In no period Of
general peace have our productions
borne 90 high a price as they have done
under the administration Of our present
Chief Magistrate. This trade, at mod
crate calculation, 10 estimated to be
worth $S,O0O,O0O year--for three
