.. The present administration Of the
national government has vindicated its
right to the continued confidence of the
people; its success has been illustrated in
the Impartial execution of the laws, IN its
faithiuircss, honesty and economy in the
collection of revenues, and in the expenses

tional debt has been lquidated to the
amount of over $3.50 900 600 n reduction
unparalleled in history. The administra.

of his own to enforce against the will OF
the people.
