 The long and expensive Flof.la a4c 44s been brought to a close.
 By b'ld, denor>trt.yean decisive move ment the Mormon difficulty has been suppress ed and the alternative of submission or flight lorced upon Young and his followers.
 The insults to our flag ny Paraguay have b,en inquired into and prompt measures taken for redress.
 The recent insulting acts of British vessels n the Gulf of Mexico were promptly taken in hand and that goverI meut forced to di.avow them and to abaudon her long cherished doc trine of the right to search. Further the op- portuuity will be embraced to remodel our trea- ties with that power, so as to prevent like oc- currences.
 These things have been done with frmness vel cauton with decision and with economy.
 The opening of the present year witnessed one of those revulsions common to comner cial nations. The banks and institutions of credit all over the cornty failed or suspended, business was prostrated and ruin stared tbou. sands Tn the face. To relieve the people from endorsements the government ntrrposcd and by advancing thirty millions of dollars stayed the tide of bankruptcy.
 At the time these things were being done the opposition was accusing the administration of | niggariness, of meauness, and of want of vgor | Now that these great results have been obtair- ed they suddenly find that it is wastefn and i extravagant Small orators whose financial ca 1 pahililes would be exhausted in managing the afairs of cross roai's grocery, swear loudly that our expenses are eighty millions a year, They tell their auditors that there was sur plnsin the treasury, which, being spent, the ad ministration is now asking for loan. They carefully avoid, if they know, to tell them for what that surplus was spent and that owing to the financial endorsements of the country, the revenues decreased far more than the amount of tue proposed loan.
 Instead of the lying charge of S93,O0O GOO the actual cost of carrying on the government during the last fiscal year, including the increas ed expenses of the navy, closing the Florida war and organizing. and furnishing the army in Utah, was less than S5s,ooo,O0O The present year will be still less An exchange truly says:
 "The appropriations this year, in spite Of the l nntoward contingencies, are far smaller than those of past wears. The total AMOUNT OF THE I REGULAR APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE SERVICE OF | lSo9 AMOUNT TO LESS THAN FIFTY THREE NH. LIONS AND HALF nF DOLLARS! These are the 1 facts and hgnres; and an unscrnpulous oppos- ton will be obliged to invent more msrepresen- taton and Falsehnod about the nato al finances than they even dl about karsss, to swell up the amouit to their impud-ntly alleged eighty millions. If there be falling off in the reve- me, surely neither this administration, nor this Congress is responsible; but the financial revul- sion and revenue system al the Congress of 1856. The present adminisr ion and Congress have done, on the score of the national fnan. ces, a work for which they deserve the thanks ef the whole country"
