Under the direction of the Democratic par
ty, the American Republic stands out to-day
unrivalled in all the elements of prosperity and
greatness, in word-the great Power of the
earth.
AT no time since the formation of this Gov
ernment has the condition of the people, or
the affairs of Government been in more healthy
condition.
Our National Treasury is full to overflow
ing and there is an excess of something be-
tween twenty-five and thirty millions of dollars
on hand. a..
Our National Debt is being paid as fast as
it becomes due, and the Secretary of the
Treasury is reaching out his hand and calling
on bondSholderS to bring in their claims for
payment, long before due.
More than three millions of the public debt
have been paid off within short time, besides
the ten million for the purchase of land, and
the settlement of treaty claims with Mexico.
The tariff has not been increased, nor the
taxes raised, yet we have more than enough
for all national wants.
AS our National Debt is paid, the tariff
must again be lessened, and the taxes thereby
reduced.
We are at present at peace with all nations
and our friendship is courted by all the powers
of the world
Our foreign and diplomatic intercourse is OF
the most gratifying character, and our COM
merce, trade and navigation were never so ex-
tensive and prosperous. .
Our flag is respected and honored wherever
it is carried by our navy, or by our CONNER
cial marine, and new, vast dOminiOns have been
opened to the energy and enterprise of our
countrymen.
In every port, and on every sea, the title of
american CITIZEN" is a passport of prOtec-
ton, and proud name for him who bears
it, ..-...
Our gallant little army is the wonder and
admiration of all nations, and its proves is
acknowledged as beyond all comparison with
the armies of other countries.
1t performed more hard service, fought more
severe battles, achieved more splendid victo-
ries, conquered more people and more terrific
ry in less than two years, than did ever the
same number of men in the entire history of
the world.
1t now,with about 5000 men, governs more
territory, and holds in suA5ugation more say
age hordes than were ever kept down by so
small force.
Our manufactures are thriving and success
fully competing with all foreign opposition.
and their owners and managers are reapino
rich harvests of wealth, Notwithstanding the
prophecies that low tariff and free trade WonId
ruin them.
Our agricultural interests in growing stock
hemp, tobacco, and cotton, are in good condi.
ton, and no man in the community is better
repaid for his labor than the farmer and the
planter. -
AS the general welfare and happiness of the
people is the great object and care of oil. good
governments, should we not feel that our gov
ernment has done all that justly comes within
its power and jurisdiction, to produce these
beneficial results. ..1lHr- .Gw IN

We learn, says the ST. Louis IntelIigencer Of Dec.
18th, that a most dreadful murder committed on
Saturday night, in Waterloo, Illinois, the person
of Mrs. Lepp. Her husband is baker, and was in
st. Louis at the time. The father Of the woman, a
man by the name Of Best, has been arrested on sus
picon of being the murderer. If this turns out be
the case, it is the most horrible tragedy which has
lately occurred.
