The present Administration came into power under embarrassments and difficulties hitherto unknown in this country. An enormous debt, wide-spread financial complications, peace to be kept, and State governments to be restored, aver one half the continent, were chief among these entanglements. The debt has already been largely diminished, and, with proper legislation, the entire amount will be funded oil highly favorable farms. The revenue has been collected. Retrenchment has been introduced into all departments. The public peace has been kept, and the State governments, with a single exception, are already restored to their proper relations in the Union. It has been an era of common sense, as compared with a previous era of wild extravagance and speculation, pnd mad projects, all over the country, to deplete st® further the National Treasury.
