W-H.

Inauguration Day at Wanhinton.
'W.isrriivcro1v, March 4.
The inaugural procession started for

the Capitol about noon. It was very
long, and presented a magnificent ap-
pearance. The military of the District
and the community in general, were fully
represented. Messrs. BUCHANAN and
BRECKENRIDGE rode in an open carriage
surrounded by the Keystone Club, and

‘.4-preceded by the military. ‘A lady rep-

resenting the Goddess of Liberty, mount-
ed on a high platform, and drawn by six
horses, followed, after which came a min-
iature ship of war, made by the mechan-
ics of the navy yard, and several clubs
and engine companies. Mr. Buchanan
reached the Capital about 1 o'clock,
where a tremendous crowd were await-
ing his arrival. He was received with
enthusiastic cheers.- Mr. -Buchanan pro-
ceeded immediately to the Senate Cham-
ber, where the oath of ofiice was admin-
istered by Chief Justice Taney. He after-
wards emerged from the chamber‘, and
proceeded to the eastern portico of the
Capitol, where a temporay platform was
erected, and in the presence of many thous-
ands commenced the delivery of

The Inaugural Address.

FnLLow-Ciriznzvs : ' —

I appear before you this day -to
take the solemn oath that I will faithfully
execute the ofiice of President of the
United States, and will to "the best of
my ability, preserve, protect and defend
the - Constitution V of the United States.——
In entering upon this great ofiice, Imiist
humbly invoke the God of our fathers for
wisdom and firmness to execute its high
and responsible duties in such a manner
as torestore harmony and the ancient
friendship among the people of the several
States, and to preserve our free institu-
tions throughout many generations.-

Convinced that I owe my election to the’

inherent love for the Constitution and the
Union which still animates .the hearts of
the American‘ People, let me earnestly ask
their powerful support in sustaining all
just measures calculated to perpetuate
these, the richest political blessings which
Heaven has ever bestowed upon any na-
tion. Having determined not to become
a candidate for re-election, I shall have
no motive to influence my conduct in ad-
"ministering the Government except the
desire ably and faithfully to serve my

country-and to live in the grateful mem-
ory of my countrymen.

We have recently passed through a
Presidential contest in which the passions
of our fellow citizens were excited to the
highest degree by questions of deep and
vital importance; but when the People
proclaimed their will, the tempest at once
subsided, and all was calm. The voice of
the majority, speaking in the manner pre-
scribed by_the Constitution,‘ was heard,
and instant submission followed. ~ Our

' own country could alone have exhibited
a so great and striking a spectacle of the

capacity of man for self-government.-
What a happy conception, then, was it_
for Congress to apply this simple rule,
that the will of the majority shall govern
to the settlement of the question of Do-
mestic Slavery in the Territories ! Con-
gress is neither to legislate Slavery into
any Territory or State, nor to exclude it
therefrom ; but to leave the People there-
of perfectly free to form and regulate their
domestic institutions in ‘their own way,
subject only to the Constitution of the
United States as a natural consequence.
Congress has also prescribed that when
the Territory of Kansas shall be admit-
ted as a State, it shall be received into
the Union with or without Slavery, as
-their Constitution may prescribe at the
time of their admission. A difi’e_rent opin-
ion hasarisen in regard to the time when
the people of a Territory shall decide this
question for themselves. This is happily a
matter of but little practical importance,
and beside, it is a judicial question, which
legitimately belongs to the Supreme Court.
of the,United States, before, whom it is
now pending, and will it is understood, be
speedily and finally settled. To their
decision, in common with all good citi-
zens, I shall cherfully submit, whatever
this may be, though it has been my indi-
vidual opinon that under the Nebraska-
Kansas act the-appropriate period willbe
when the number of ‘actual residents in
the Territories shall justify the formation
of a Constitution with a view to its ad-
mission as a State into the Union. But,
be this as it may, it is the ' perative and
indispensible duty of the overnment of
the United States to secure to every resi-
dent inhabitant the free and independent
expression of his opinion by_ his vote.-
This sacred right of each individual must
be preserved. This being accomplished,
nothing can be.fairer than to leave the
people of a territory from all foreign inter-
ference to decide their own destiny for-
themselves, subject only to the Constitu-
tion of the United, States. The whole
Territoral question being thus settled up-
on the principle of popular sovereignty-
aprinciple as ancient as free Government-
itself——evci'y thing of a practical nature
has been decided, and no other question
remains for adjustment, because all agree
that under the Constitution Slavery in
the States is beyond the reach of any lin-
nian power, except that of the respective
States themselves wherein it exists. May
we not then hope that the long agitation
on this subject is approaching its end, and
that the geographical parties to which it
has given birth, so much dreaded by the
Father of his Country, will speedilly be-
come extinct; Most happy will it be for.
the country when the public mind shall be
diverted froui this question to others of
more pressing and practical importance.
Throughout the whole progress of this ag-
itation, which lias scarcely known any
intermission for more than twenty years,
while it has been productive of no positive
good to any human being, it has been the
prolific source of great evils to the master,
to the slave and to the whole country ; it
has alienated and estranged the people of
the sister States, from each other, and
has even seriously endangered the very
existence of the Union. Nor has the dan-
ger yet entirely ceased. Under our sys-
tern there is a remedy for all mere politi-
cal evils in the sound sense and sober judg-
ment of the people. Time is a great cor-
rcctive. The political subjects which but
a few,years ago exasperated the public
mind have passed away and are now near-
ly forgotten ; but this question of Domes-
tic Slavery is of far greater importance
than any more political question, because,
should the agitation continue, it may
eventually endanger the personal safety
of a_ large portion of our countrymen where
the institution exists. In that event, no
form of Goverment, however productive
of material benefits, can compensate for
the ‘loss of peace and domestic security
around the family alter. Let every Union
loving "man, therefore, exert his best in-
fluence to suppress this agitation, which
since the recent legislation of Congress,
is without any legitimate object. Itis an
evil of the times .that men have under-
taken to calculate the material value of
the Union. ' '
Reasoned estimates have been presen-
ted of the pecuniary profits and local ad-

vantages which would result to different ~

States and sections from its dissolution,
and of the comparative injuries which
such an event would infiict on other States ,

and sections. Even descending to this
low and narrow view of the mighty ques-
tion, all such. calculations are at fault.——
The bane, reference to a single considera-
tion will.b"¢':-conclusive on this ‘point.’ 
i We" at -prsesent ' enjoy a free trade
throughout our extensive and expansive
country, such as the world never witness-
ed. This trade is conducted on railroads
and canals, on noble_rivers and arms of
the sea; which b_ind_j,togethcr the North,
and the'Soi_ith, the East and the West

Providence: which inspired our fathers
with wisdom. to frame the most perfect
form..of.-governmentand union ever devised
by "man, will .not sulfer it to perish until it
shall'have.' been peacefully instrumental,
by-itsexa-mple, inrthe extension of civil
and iieligions liberty throughout the world.
Next-inimportauce to the maintain-
once of the Constitution and the A Union
is the ‘duty of preserving the Government
free-‘from-the taint or even the suspicion
of corruption‘. .' Public virtue is the vital
"spirit of Republics, and history proves
that when this has decayed and the love
of money has usurped its place, although
the forms of free. government may remain
for a season, the substance has departed
forever. Our present financial condition
is without a parallel in history. No na-
tion has ever before been embarrassed.
from too large a surplus in its Treasury.
This almost necessarily gives birth to ex-
travagant legislation. It produces wild
schemes of expenditures and begets a race

nuity is exerted in contriving and promo-
ting expcdients to obtain the public money.
The party, through its ofiicial agents,
whether rightfully or wrongfully, is sus-
pected, and the character of the Govern-
men suffers in the estimation of the people.
This is in itself a very great evil. The
natural mode of relief from this embarrass-
ment is to apropriate the surplus in the
Treasury to great nationl objects for which
a clear warrant can be found in the con-
stitution. Among these, Imight men-
tion the extinguishnient of the public
debt, a reasonable increase of the Navy,
which is at present inadequate to the
protection of our vast tunnage afloat-—
now greater than that of any other nation,
as well as the defense of our extended sea
coast.. It is beyond all question the true
principle that no more revenue ought to
be collected ' from the people than the
amount necessary to defray the expenses
of a wise economical and efiicient Admin-
istration of the Government. To reach
this point it was necessary to resort to a
modification of the tariff, and . this has
been accomplished in such a manner to do
as little injury as may have been practi-
cable to "our domestic manufactures; espe-
cially those neeesary for the defense of
the country. Any discrimination against
a particular. branch for the purpose of
benefiting favored corporations, individu-
als, oirinterests, would have been unjust
to the rest of the community and inconsis-
tent with that spirit of fairness and equal-
ity,_which ought to govern in the adjust-
ment of a revenue taril’f—-but the squan-
dering of -the public money sinks into com-
parative insignificance, as a temptation to
corruption, when compared with the
squandering of thepnblic lands.

No nation inthe tide of time has ever
becnblessed with so rich and noble an
inheritance as we enjoy in the public
lands. In administering this important
trust, while it may be wise to grant por-
tions of them for the improvement of the
remainder, . yet we should never forget
that it. is our cardinal policy -to reserve
these lands as much as may be for actual
settlers,_and this at moderate prices.—‘—
We shall thus not only best promote
the prosperity of the new States, by. fur-
nishing - them a hardy and independent
race. o_f..honest and industrious citizens,
but__shall secure homes for our children
and our cliildren’s children, as well as for
those exilesjfrom foreign shores who may
seek in this country to improve their con-
dition_‘an_d,to enjoy the blessings of civil
and. religious liberty. Such emigrants
havedone‘ much to promote the growth
and prosperity of 'the country. They
ha.v_ejprove'd'faithful both in peace and in
war. After becoming citizens, they are
entitled, ,-under the Constitutions and laws,
to 'be ‘placed on perfect equality with
native-‘born citizens, end in this character
theyshonld ever be kindly recognized.
The -Federal Constitution .is a grant
from the _ States to Congress to ‘certain
spe'eific'pow'ers,_and the question wheth-
er a this grant shall be liberally or
sti'ictly'construed, has, more or less, divi-
ded political parties from the beginning.
Withoutjentering into the argument, I
,desire to-state at the commencement of
myfidministratioii, that long cxperieiice
and- _observation have convinced me that a
strict, construction of the powers of the
Goveijiiment_'is.the only true as well as
the;only.safe__theoi'y, of the Constitution.
Whenever, inour past history, doubtful
powers have been exercised by Congress,
they ha.ve"nevei_' failed to produce injuri-
ous ,'and_’ unhappy consequences. Many
such instances’ might be adduced if this
were the proper'occasiori. Neither is it
iieeessary,for the public service to strain
the language _of the Constitution, because
all} the great and useful powers required
fora successful administration of the Gov-
ernment, bothin peace and in war, have
been g_r-anted either in express terms or
by the pjlainest. implication. While deep-
1y"-convinced {of these truths I yet consid-
er it’ clear. thatiinder the war-making power
Congress maygappropriate money toward
the" construction of a military road when
this ‘is absolutely necessary for the defense
of‘any"State or Territory of the Union
against? foreign invasion. Under the
Constitution Congress has. power -to de-
clai"e"war’, to raise and support armies,
to: provide and ‘maintain a navy, and to
callforth the militia to repel invasion.-—
Thus endowed. in an ample manner with
the 'w_a,_'r-making power, the corresponding
duty is requiredethat the United States
shall protect each of_them (the States)
against invasion._ How is it possible to
afford this protection to California and
our Pacific possessions except by means
of a militaryroad through the territory
of the United States, over which men and
munitions of war may be speedily trans-
ported from the Atlantic States to meet
andzrepel the‘ invader ? In case of a war
.with'_a_ naval power much stronger than
our own, weshould then have no other
available access to the Pacific coast, be-
causesuch a power would instantly close
the route across the Isthmus of Central
America; It is impossible to conceive
that while the Constitution has expressly
required Congress to defend all the States,
it should yet deny to them by any fair
constuction the only possible means by
which one of these States can be defended.
Beside, the Government, ever since its

of speculators and jobbers, whose inge-

F...

origin. has been in the constant practice

of constructing military roads. It might

also be wise to consider whether the love

for the Union which now animates our

fellow-citizens on the Pacific Coast may

not be impaired by our neglect or refusal
to_provi(lc for them, in their remote and
isolated condition, the only means _ by
which the power of the States on this side
of the Rocky Mountains can reach them,
‘in sufficient time to protect them against
invasion.

I forbear, for the present, from express-
ing an opinion as to the wisest and most
economical mode in which the Govern-
ment can lend its aid in accomplishing
this great and necessary work. I believe
that many difficulties in the way, which
now appear formidable, will, in a great
degree, vanish as soon as the nearest and
best route shall have been satisfactorily
ascertained.

It may be right that, on this occasion,
I should make some brief remarks ' as to
our rights and duties as a member of the
great Family of Nations. In our inter-
course with them, there are some plain
principles approved by our own experi-
ence from which we should never depart.
We ought to cultivate peace, commerce
and friendship with all nations, and this
not merely as the bes_t means of promo-
ting our own national interest, but in a
spirit of Christian benevolence toward
fellow-men, wherever their lot may be
cast. Our diplomacy should be direct and
frank, neither seeking to obtain more nor
accepting less than is our due. We
ought to cherish a sacred regard for the
independence of all nations, and never to
interfere in the domestic concerns of any.
unlessthis shall be imperatively required
by the great law of self-preservation.-
To avoid‘ entangling alliances has been a
maxim of our policy ever since the days
of Vllasliingtoii, and its wisdom no one
will attempt to dispute. In short, we
ought to do justice in a kindly spirit to
all nations and require justice from them
in return. It is our glory that while other
nations have extended their dominons by
the sword, we have never acquired any
territory except by fair purchase, or, as
in the case of Texas, by the voluntary
determination of a brave kindred, and in-
dependent people to blend their destinies
with our own. Even our acquisitions
from Mexico form no exception. Unwil-
ling to take advantage of the fortune of
war against a sister Republic, we purchas-
ed these possessions under the treaty of
peace for a‘sum which was considered at
the time a fair equivalent. Our past his-
tory forbids that we shall in the future
acquire territory unless this be sanctioned
by the laws of justice and honor. Act-
ing on this principle, no nation will have
a right to intefere or to complain if in the
progress of events we shall still further
extend possessions. Hitherto, in all our
acquisitions, the people under the protec-
tion of the American flag have enjoyed
civil and religious liberty, as well as equal
and just laws, and have been contented,
prosperous and happy. ' Their trade with
the rest of the world has rapidly increased,
and thus every commercial nation has
shared largely in their successfull pro-
gress. I‘ shall now proceed to take the
oath prescribed by the Constitution,
while humbly invoking the blessing of
Divine Providence on this great people."

much of an exaggeration of what some-

to theedification of the curious in the
congregation, and for the comfort of the
nerves of the pulpit : “Let the lady ad-
vance one pace beyond the door of the
pew she wishes to enter, half about face,
and salute. The pew must then be va-
cated by such gentleman as are in it, by
flank movement. The squad should rise-
simultaneously when the lady presents
herself‘, and face by the right flank, then
deploy into the aisle, the headmanfacing
the lady, and the rest passing to his right
and rear‘, the direction of the line, being
changedby a right conntermarch, and
forming again in the line, up and down
the aisle, still faced by the right flank.——-
The lady, (when she sees that the coast is
clear, completes her salute and advances
to her position‘ in the "pew. The gentle-
men break olf by angles from the rear,
and resume their places. Great care
should ‘be taken, of course, by other par-
ties, not to enter the aisle when this evo-
lution is in progress, until it is completed.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—.A collision oc-
curred on the H. & N. H. Railroad at
Wallingford, yesterday noon, relative to
which we gather the following facts.-—
There was an extra freight train coming
from New Haven, and when it arrived at
Wallingford it switched off from the east
to the west track, to make way for the
express passenger train, then_about_ due
and entitled to the east track. While
the up freight train was switching off, a.
flag-man was sent to give warning to the
down express freight: train, then due ; but
owing to the snow blowing the flag was
not seen in time to stop the train, conse-
quently there was a collision,'with but
slight damage to the trains,'botli ofwhich
were moving slowly at the time. No
lives lost, and but two persons injured.-
Edward Baker, a brakenian, had one leg
cut oil‘ below the knee and his other foot
bruised. Mr. Chapman, a fireman, was
slightly injured internally. The story, in
an evening paper, of three persons killed
and several wounded, was a tremendous
exaggeration.—— Com-amt.

Ourstate Election

There are only four weeks left for prep-
aration, for the State Election,'and our
friends in every town should commence
canvassing at once. The same issues up-
on which we fought and conquered ,,last
fall are again before us, our opponents
are even holder, for they make an appro-
val of all Pierce’s measures, a part of
their platform, while they are forced to
take another step toward the extermina-
tion of Free white labor, by the doctrine
first avowed by. Buchanan, in his Inau-
gural, that the people of a territory have
no right to exclude slavery, until it be-
comes a State. This is the Calhoun doc-
trine that Slavery is National and Free-
dom Sectional, and our people will, we
are sugc, again protest against it as "vig-
orouslyas they have done heretofore.-—
We ought to cast our full‘ vote on these
issues, and to bring out a full vote, an
early and thorough organization is neces-
sary. Thcreis no'time to be 1ost._the
work should be commenced at once.

The Supreme Court of the United States.

Who makes the Judges of the Supreme
Court «if the United States ? is a question
run Pr.orr.n are this day asking with more
earnestness than any similar inquiry was ever
propounded before. , We answer, the Presi-
dent,~subject to the approval of the Senate.
How happens it that rrvn out of 'those nine
Judges are Southern men, while. the popula-
tion and judicial business of the South are so
immensely inferior to those of the North?
We answer again,Northerri Senators have dis-
regarded the immense power of that Court,
and have yielded to the demands of for-seeing
Southern Statesmen, whose watchfulness ‘over
their peculiar institution has never flagged.
How happens it that the five Southern Judges
making a majority of that Court, have over:
turned the Executive, Legislative, Judicial
and popular decisions of . half a century, to
make more roomfor Slavery, while not one of
the Northern Judges has pronounced the pro-
hibition of Slavery in the Territories, by Act
of Congress a violation of the Constitution?
Are there no Southern Lawyers of ability who
agree with the great legal minds of the North
upon this subject? We answer, John J. Crit-
tcnden of Kentucky, and George E. Badgerffl
North Carolina. are as able Lawyers as any on
the Bench of the "Supreme Court ; both hold’
the Missouri Co romise to have been consti-
tutional ; both e been nominated by.difi‘er-
eut Presidents for Judges. of. that Court, and
both have been rejected by pro-slavery Sen-
ntes.

In one word, the present Supreme Court has
been manu_factured'to do the very work it
has done. ~

Who makes the Judges of the Supreme
court? we ask again ; the President with the
approval of the Senate. Bur wno ‘ruins
Pnnsrnnsrs AND SENATES? Ultimately, rnr:
PEOPLE. The Supreme-Court, the President,
the Senate, are all, at last, but the creatures
of the People. and to the Man of the United
States belongs the remedy for the great wrong
which Judges, Presidents and Senates have
conspired to accomplish.

’ A Proclamation

Whereas the season is now approaching,-
when according to long established usage,
the people of this State have been accus-
tomed to assemble together to review
their past lives, and to prostrate them-

pendence upon his great mercy and Sover-
eign power——

I have therefore thought proper to ap-
point, and do hereby appoint, FRIDAY,
the 10th day of April next, to be ob-

vite all the people to assemble on that
day, at their various places of _public
worship, then and there, with their pas-
tors and spiritual teachers, to present
eontrite supplications to our Heavenly
Father, that, for the sake of his Son our
Sam'om-, he will pardon all our sins ; that
he will avert the evils of intcrnperance

borders pestilence and disease ; and above
all, that he will enable us so to lead our
lives that we may be made fit partakers
of the blessed immortality promised in
his holy word.

And while beseeching for ourselves, let
us supplicate him to watch over and pro-
tect our State and country—to guide and
direct ‘therulcrs of our National and
State governments, _that all their acts
may be founded on wisdom, justice “and
integrity, conducive to the general wel-
fare and-the perpetuity of our Republican
institutions—to foster and protect our re-
ligious, literary and benevolent institu-
tions--to smile upon the varied industry
of our people—and especially to illumi-
natc the dark corners of the earth with
the gospel of his son, that ' tyranny and
despotism, ignorance and vice, may every
where yield’ to its benign influences, and
liberty and peace, religion and morality,
universally prevail.

Given under my hand and the seal of

Respectfully dedicated to the bereaved Parents.
,3! on. A. mu.
How like_n gleam of sunshine, in a cloudy day,
How liko'a fragrant blossom in the time of May,
How like some sweet bird singing, hast thou been to me,
_ Dearest little Lizzie :
But now my brain is whirling, and my senses dizzy,
As I think of thee.

How like some bright star shining from the depths of
night,
How like the flush of morning, beautiful and bright,
How like soft notes of music ravizbingly sweet,
' Gentle little Lizzie ; '

But now, my chin will quiver, when I would repeat,
Dear-ezt little Lizzie,
Words of thine so sweet. _ ,

How like some charming vision, or some blissful dream,

How like the softest murmur, of some gentle stream.

How like some walling fountain, in the desert’z gloom,
Dearest little Lizzie ;

But now, my heart is bursting, while the inzatinto tomb
Holds my little Lizzie,
In its silent womb.

With brow of peerless beauty, curls of golden hair,

Floating in the breezes, ’round her temples fair,

With form of finezt moulding, eyes of azure blue,‘
Such was little Lizzie ;

But now our hearts are bleeding, while we think ofyou,
Dearest little Lizzie,
Always good and true.

Stricken ones are weeping, little Lizzie door,
But their hearts beat softer, for afiectiuriz tear,
Rude ones may not challenge love’: most tender sign,
For our little Lizzie; .
But sorrows will but chanten, grief will but refine,
Dearest little Lizzie,
_ We will not r-spine.

And thou. art with the angels now, little Lizzie dear,
Whilewe are left to wander on amidst this world so
droar,
But we will go to meet thee noon, in thy bright homo
above,
Dearest little Lizzie ;

love,
And never leave our Lizzie.

root of ‘this disgusting complaint ; but whatever their
