It else gives us unfeign dd pleasure to join in congratulations upon the general prosperity which pervades all the 1 • business and pecuniary relations of the pea; ple. Not Withstanding the predictions of o'ur leading' Federal opponents of the ruin• and desolation which was to follow the election of the Detnocratic candidate's in 1844, our Prosperity has been onward ever since, and at no period of our existence as a people',-have all the departments of industry—agricultural ) mechanical, commercial and manufacturing, : been in a more prosperous and healthy condi tion, and labor more in demand Al fair rates of compensation than at tile present_ time It is when labor commands -its just reward that an hottest and industrious community is alwa3,-s the most hippy • , This•condition of things we hav6 reason to ibelieve rests on a substantial,b i asis, and is the' esult, in a great degree, of a sound and lib eral syStem of policy founded upon just prin iples of conimircial intercourse and reciptd= city, in connexion with a constitutional sys tem of finance nn the part of tho general goV erTent, calculated 'to pievent exbessiva sues of paper money, and to maintain a sound currency. . , Our Federal friends, hoWever, would have you believe that all our present prosperity re sults from the scarcity of provisionsinEttrope,, and the consequent high - *ices in this coun try.
