Kentucky Gazette

From the Missouri Courier.

The election has passed almost without observation or comment. The Jackson men relied on their strength, and the whigs were conscious of their weakness, and both parties staid at home, no excitement, no struggle, all passed away in harmony and peace. The aggregate result as far as heard from, are about the same as in August last.

The administration of General Jackson has been sustained by the people of the United States; his measures have resulted in the unexampled prosperity of the country, and the happiness of the people. He entered his administration with a debt of fifty-eight millions of dollars, hanging like an incubus over our finances; he leaves it with a surplus in the Treasury of at least a similar amount. Such has been the administration which was to ruin our country, by its extravagance. The Bank which with its vast capital of $35,000,000, was to sustain our country, its commerce, and power, has been prostrated, its influence and strength annihilated, and the Treasury now contains a capital nearly double to that of the Bank itself. Where are the results predicted by the panic men? They have never been seen nor felt. Our march is onward, defying calculation, and outstripping the imagination.

Such is the universal confidence in the present administration that all parties repose in tranquillity. The people are universally engaged in the improvement of the country, and laying a foundation for the future fortune of their children; men of every class and profession, conscious that agriculture is the foundation of the prosperity of every nation, are purchasing land for themselves and their children.
