President Jackson's Success.-We have
not the least doubt that general Jackson has
managed the affairs of this nation more suc-
cessfully than any other individual in the
United States could have done under similar
circumstances. There always have been,
and always will be trivial matters which af-
ford room for cavil: these are affairs which
have little or no connection with the great
and leading measures of the government.
Our foreign negotiations were never more
ably managed, and our foreign relations
were never in a better condition. By his
wise and judicious management of our Indian
concerns, he has saved them from destruc-
tion and the country from a bloody and savage war. In a few years we shall see them
prosperous and happy on the west bank of
the Mississippi. But for his ability and
zeal on this subject, we have no hesitation
in saying these tribes would have been ex-
terminated, and our own government much
endangered. No other man in the United
States could have done so much on this sub-
ject in the same time.-Maine Inquirer.
