Administration is complete. The firls sci
lorlh in the message in relation 10 il, srt
sufficient 10 convince any unprejudiced
mind, that we have not been rash, unjust,

pursued pacific and Iorbesung policy, she
has been continually Insulting our Govern.

her treaties with US. The presen, war is,
upon our part, just one; and The Presi,

that il is so. Those who have falsely and
|rsilorously Y characterized il as war of sg.
gresslon and injus,ce,musi be covered with
confusion By The array of unsns able
facts in The messsge, and will not, probably
be in hurry 10 repeat, their cslumnies up
on their own country and lis Government.
Upon other subjects beside the war, the
message is brief but ex2lci,. /, exhibits
the fact sha. up 10 Dec. !, ls4o, the whole
increase Of deb, since the President came
into Office. is only sbou, sI millions Of dol.

The late session of Congress, Mr. Webster
put down the national exp .ndilure,sl haD a
million Of dollars dsy.or over 81 80, 900,
600 yesr being only a mistake OF a
