have thus, gentlemen of the two Houses Of
conoress, presented you a true and faithful pic
.,e of the condition Of public affairs, both foreign
end dos,est;c. The wants of The public service
ave made known to you and matters OF no ord :
nary importance are urged upon your consitera-
tom. Shall not DO permitted to congratulate
vnu on the happy auspices under which you have
assembled, and at the important change in the
condition of things which has occurred in the
last three years 7 During that period questions
with foreign powers, OF vital importance to the
nsace OF our country have been settled and ad-
iust,d. A deso!ating and wasting war with ss-
wage tribes, has been Brought to close. The
internal tranquility Of the country, threatened by
ao,ating questions, has been preserved. The
creoit of the Government, which had experienced
temporary embarrassment, has been thorough
" restored. Its Golfers, which, for season, were
empty, have been replenished.
A currency, nearly uniform in its value, has
taken the place OF one deprecated and almost
worthless Commerce and manufactures, which
had suffered in common with every cthe- interest,
have once more revived; and the whole country
exhibits aspect of prosperity and happiness.
Trade and barter, no longer governed by wild
and speculative mania, rest upon solid and sub
stantial footing; and the rapid growth of our
cities, in every direction, bespeaks most strongly

rounded. My happiness, in the retirement which
shortly awaits me, is the ardent hope which l
experience that this state OF prosperity is neither
deceptive nor destined 10 be short lived; and
that measures which have not yet received its
sanction, but which cannot but regard as close
ly connected with the honor, the glory, and still
more enlarged prosperity OF the country, are des-
tined, at an early day, to receive the approval OF
Congress.
Under these circumstances, and with thesean.
ticipa,ions. shall most gladly leave to others,
mere able than myself, the noble and pleasing
task of sustaining the public prosperity. Ishall
carry with me into retirement the gratifying re-
Hecton that, es my sole object throughout has
been to advance the public good, may not en-.
tirely have failed in accomplishing it; and this
qualification is heightened in no email degree by
the fact that when, under deep and abiding
eense of duty, have found myself constrained
TO resort to the qualified Veto, it has neither been
followed By disapproval on the parto the People,
norwsakened in any degree their attachment 10
