and private, with strict ecoaomy and ffngali-
fy, we shall see our country recover from a
temporary depression, arising not from natural
and permanent causes, bat from those | have
enumerated, and advance with renewed vigor
in her career Of prosperity
Fortunately for US, at this mement, when
the balance Of trade isgreatly against us, and
the difficulty Of meeting it enhanced by the
disturbed state of our money affairs, the boun!
ties Of Providence have come to rolieve. us
from the consequences of past errors. A
faithful application OF the immense results oil
The labors Of The last season will afford par
tial relief for the present, md perseverance in
tho same course will, in due season, accom-
plish the, rest. We have had full experience,
10 times. past, Of the extraordinary results
which cam. in this respect, be brought about
IN short period, by the united and we'll d.
sected efforts of community like ours. Our
surplus profits, the energy and Industry Of our
population, and tho wonderful advantage
which Providence has bestowed hpon our
country, In its climate, tits various productions,
indispensable To- other nations, will, in due
time, afford abundant means to perfect The
most useful Of those objects, for which the
States have been plungihg themselves plate,
in embarrassment and debt, without imposing
on ourselves or our children such fearful bur-

Bat let it be indellbly engraved on Our
maids that reliefis not to be found in .expe-
lients. Indebtedness cannot be lessened by
borrowing more moEey, or by changing the
form CT the debt. Tho balance Of trade is
not to be turned in our favor by creating new
demands upon us abroad. Oar currency cans
not be improved by the creation of new
banks, or mere issues from those which now
exist. Although these devices sometimes APP
pear to give temporary relief they. almost in
variably aggravate the evil In the end 1t is
only by retrenchment and reform, BY curtail-
ing public and private expenditures, by pay
ing our debts, and by reforming our banking
system, that We are to expect effectual relief
and security for the future and an enduring
prosperity. In shaping the institutions and
policy Of the Gene: al Government so as to
promote, as far as it can with us limited pow
srs, these important ends, YOU may rely-oli
