Say whether the general prosperity of the nation, the rapid reduction of the public debt, the friendly relations which have been maintained with Foreign nations, dees not afford indubitable evidence of theconeumate skill, ability and economy with which the Government of fhe United Statea has been administered since i the election of John Q Adams lad give him a fair claim to tbe confidence of the nation for the Dexl constitutional period.
