Mr. Foster not seeing Wi fall in his seat, . would let the resolution ' present. We rejOice that to our gallant little Conw necticut now belongs the honor of at least an attempt to purge the American Senate of - the presence of ’aman far below the average of bar room lOafers', either in dignity or de- cency. Wigfail, garrulous and groggy, has hitherto been’content to act the low buffoon for the amusement Of the galleries, and quaff his grog inhi's test, for the mOrtification of ' those Senators who would cherish the digni- ty and decorum of that body. Of late,how- ever, the inebriated vagabond has assumed ' the strutting insolence of the Southern Con- federacy, has boldly declared himSelf out of the UniOn, and a resident of another nation. ality—in short, has as beldly and offensively . announced .his treason, in season and out of season, as ever did Catalina in the Roman Senate, and we rejoice that at the least, his , impudence ahd arrogance has been snubbed, if his treasOn be not. visited with that pun- ishment it deserve. We rejoice more than all that it was left for gall t little Connecti- cut—ever the Thermopo f freedom’s bat- tles—to do it, and do it so effectually! Mr. Foster is not a man of hot blood who , acts from sudden impulse. This movement has been one of deliberate judgment and one in which his sense of duty to his country has triumphed over the timidity which would have deterred most men from administering such a bold_,yet richly merited rebuke. For, be it understood, it‘requires physical, as well as moral courage to bring such scoundrels to their reckonings. . We believe the action of. Mr. Foster will receive the undivided en- dorsement and approval of every citizen of Connecticut who caresa fig for the honor of the country, Or the perpetuity of the Union.

EDITORS—The Democracy had a very lugubrious time here in. nominating it There were but a few delegates present, and things were cheet- less and gloomy in general. Dr. Hoyt was nominated on first ballot, but having stood once and been defeated by little Curtis of Greenwich,thought he’d had enough of that sort of honor, and so declined. After cast: ing about, it was concluded that no democrat could be elected if nominated, and some were for going home without making a nomina- tion. But'a happy idea struck'the Conven- tion! It was thought that perhaps a Know Nothing could be elected, if a democrat couldn’t, and so-Ohas. 11. Leeds, of the “Core" was put in nomination. Mr. Leeds was twice elected to the Legislature from this town as an Amefican, and although he now utterly eschews democracy, it r-is taken for granted that he isn’t much- known in the District, (which fact Will go to help him with the true blue democracy,) and that whenever a suspicious “furriner” gets his ideas raised over it, they can lie it down. .

Douglas Defends the Inaugural. Iii the Senate, l'i'cdiicsduy, Mr. Ciingman f _ _ , _ ' —W cston, the pedestrian, missed the prize, of North Carolina denounced the Inaugural of President .Lincolii, as containing doctrines ' which, if carried out would lead to war. He particularly objected to the declaration that the revenue lths must be enforced, re- marking, by way of illustration, flint, after . the Thirteen Co-onics had declared their in- dependence, nobody supposed they would 5 pay taxes which in fact they had refused to pay before. Mr. Clingnian, like many others has fallen into an extremely absurd error in comparing the case of the rebellious States of this Union with that of the United Colo- ‘ nice. The Colonies had no representation in ’arliamcnt; the Southern States posseSS the fullest right Of representation in Congress, to, at the time of their rebellion, controlicd a majority of votes in both Houses. The Colo- nies had a direct and specific grievance to . complain of, in the shape of a tax levied up- on them by a body in which they were not represented at all. The South, so far from lihving any act of Congress to complain of, has, up to the time of the Secession, itself dic- fated all the legislation of Congress. No not has passed that body for many years without the assent of the Southern Senators and rep- resentatives. Mr.Doliglas',in reply to Mr.Cling- man, said that the Inaugural was characteriz- ed by great abilityond was pacific rather than war-like in its character. He pointed out wrth force the absurdity of collecting the revenues at Northern portswhile at the same time the Southern ports were allowed the privilege of importing without duty. The Government is bound to enforce the laws impartiallyin all the ports, and can make no distinctions in favor of those in South Carolina or Louisiana. This is an unanswerablc reply to the non- sense uttered by thosc who maintain that the collection of the revenue is “coercionfi’ and that the President. should not enforce the Tariff law, but should let the Southern States import goods free while the North pays the duties—Tribune. . .. .p . The Border'lStates. The People of the Border Slave States .de- sire to‘ remain in the Union; the defeated and broken-down politicians are fully re- solved to force them out. Thus the Legis- lature of Kentucky refused absolutely to call a Convention; Tennessee voted one down by a large majority; Virginia elected what was meant to be a Union Convention, and insisted that no act of secession should be valid ‘until submitted to and ratified by a di- rect popular vote ;North Carolina has voted down a Convmtion by a small majority, and if one is held, has chosen a decided Union majority of delegates ; Arkansas has chosen a Union majority of delegates; while the Governor of Maryland has persistently refused to assemble the Legislature and thus enable it to call a Convention; and Dela- 'ware has heard an emissary of Secession, and rejected his counsels by a unanimous vote of' the Legislature. Here are eight of the fifteen Slave States declaring that they wish and mean to stay in the Union, and not follow the defentQ and bankrupt office- holders into the abyss of secessions, treason and civil war. iiut the politicians are not so easily baf- fled. They are resolved either to beguile or to defy the people. They are for secession through popular phrenzy where such pliren- zy can be invoked, but for Secession some- how, anyhow rather than not at at all. The Huntsville (Alamaba) Independent thus de- plores a mistake of life conspirators in Ten- nessee : “With deep sorrow and the most sad fore- bodmgs for her future, we are forced to an- nounce that our sister State, Tennessee, has resolved not to call even 3 Convention of her people in the present crisis. Her Legis- lature must now see the folly of submitting the question of Convention or no Conven- tion to the popular vote. T ii .iusands upon thousands of her people—and we speak with no disrespect of the intelligence of the State did not and could not know whether there wats”u necessity for calling 11 Convention or no _Wlioever is familiar with the internal pol- itics of the Slave States, must note the accu- racy with which old divisions are reproduced in the popular action on the Disunion issue. Thus in North Carolina, the old Democratic strongholds, Edgecombe, Warren, Nash, Du- pliu, Onslow, New-Hanover, (kc, &c., give large Secession majorities, while Guilford, Orange, Wake, Iredeil, and other W'hig or closely contested counties in the olden time, now give rousing majoritiesfor the Union.— So if is, mainly, inJl‘ennessee, and in Eus- tern Virginia, while Western Virginia is all but unanimous for the Union. It is but sim— ple truth that the im pa] 5 e g iven to Secession is given by the disciples and sar- ellites of Floyd, Cobb & Co., whom the peo- ple have just kicked out of office, and who perceive no chance for a speedy restoration to the public crib but in getting up a new government and pinch. themselves at the head of it. And their i‘oliowm's are mostly those who have for years been drilled into blind acquiescence in whatever those leaders may see fit to do—or suggest. Let us give but a single specimen of the shameless perversions of President Lincoln’s Inaugural by the Secession Press in order to arouse against the new administration, the passions of the South. We quote from The Sun, an independent Baltimore print : “Mr. Lincoln says, ‘Might it not be well to provide by law either bv (Congress or the- Legislatures of the Free~ States) for the en- forcement of that clause in the Constitution which guaranties that the citizens (the runs- way slaves) of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities (the habeas corpus act, trial by J or ', &c.,) of citizens in the several States?’ his we believe to be the literal meaning of Mr. Lincoln’sinterrog— story. ' The connection in which we find it, its inapplicability to anything else, the con- tempt fiuiig at the Supreme Court by the speaker, and the general tone of the Inaugu- ral in all its parts—forbid any other interpre- tation of the language.” ' Of course the writer knew a rent deal better than this—knew that Mr. incoin re- ferred to the lynching Of while citizens of Free States by the “Precipitators” and other mob gatherings at the South~those citizens being merely suspected of unfriendliness to Slavery—some of them because they voted last Fall for Lincoln, some simply because they came from the North. Not less than one hundred—we believe many hundreds— of such citizens have been subjected to out- rages and indignities within the last four months in ostentatious violation of a plain, constitutional guaranty. President Lincoln thinks that this bright to cease—that they who make so much ado over the escape of one negro from Slavery into Freedom should bestmv at lest equal consideration on the sys- tematic abuse, even unto death, of peacea- ble, law abiding white frocmcu. Is not that reasonable ?— '1 rz'bmic. o4.» , I Who TALKS OF WAlt?—()n his way to assume the duties of his office as .

W'lien the South is earnest in its desire to settle the controversy without war, it is in the highest conceivable degree unfa- vornblc,I to peace, for the chosen leader to threaten gunpowder and steel, in language such as Presidents, statesmen, or even kings, are not accustomed to employ. . On his way to assume the duties of his office as President of the United States of America, Mr. Abrnlimn Lincoln, in addres- sing his countrymen said : “Now, in my view of'tlic present aspect of affairs, there need be no bloodshed or War.— Thcre is no necessity for it. I am not in favor ol‘sucli a course, and I may say in ad- vance flint there. will be no bloodshed unless it be forced upon the government, and then it will be compelled to act in self-defence".

Their resolves, and the resolves of Mary- land and Missouri in accord with them, will be authoritative here in Louisiana; for, al- though a convention of its citizens have chosen to disregard the vote of the people at the ballot boxes which called them into ex- istence, when the right time comes, in spite of all maghinations, the demand for co-opera- tion with all the slave States will be irresisti- ble. This State, momentarily misrepresent- ed, will make itself heard, and our frontier brothers may confidently rely' upon our uni- ted cordial sympathy and support in all measures or proceeding they. may initiate for the safety,security and equal rights'of ail'the slave States.” .——.——..‘.>..———9—.~ that the postal service in'tbc Southern States is unprofitable, but contends that something must be done to relieve the wants of the peo- ple in the event of Mr. Colfax’s bill becom- inga law.

At midday on Mon- day last, Mr. James Buchanan, President of the United States, retired from his high office, leaving to his successor the happiness of being the most wished for President that ever came to the chain—for saying which. we do not expect to be indicted. We believe that the Fourth of March more than the Twenty-Fifth of November: was a day of General Thanksgiving. The Inauguration passed off not only Bat» isfactorily but brilliantly. The weather, which in the early morning threatened clouds and rain, grew bright and warm towards noon. The city of Washington was a scene of bustle, gaiety and enthusiasm such as was never witnessed there before. No accident occurred to mar the occasion; none of the many hinted threats at assassination were carried out; no man lifted a hand against the new Chief Magistrate; no mob attacked the procession; no bias was heard during the reading of the Inaugural Address; no disorder disturbed the streets; in short, none * ‘ of the prophecies which for the last three months had been promising that the streets of Washington would echo to the no‘se of not and rebellion, were in any wise fulfilled. So Abraham Lincoln is President, and. the nation is glad. - - THE LAST REVIEW 0E THE INAUGUEAL. Mr. Lincoln rose before daylight, took breakfast, called his son Robert to read to him the draft of the Inaugural, retouched it in a few pomts after hearing it, and added the closin paragraph. As the morning ad- vanced, r. Seward called, and, after‘con- sultatiou with him, two or three sentences which might have been liable to miscon- struction were [slightly altered. Afterward some members of the proposed Cabinet call- ' ed and requested, according to precedent, to know what Ephcy Mr. Lincoln would lay down. Mr. incolm who means to be his own master, allowed them to wait as other people waited, till after its delivery. THE PROCESSION FORMED. At an early hour the sound of fife and drum was heard all over the city, and de- tachments of troops were seen marching to their stations. The line was formed near thaWhite House, the chief Marshal and his ai heading the march. Mr. Buchanan rode in an elegant carriage, which stopped a few moments when the procession resched Willard’s Hotel, and received the President elect, who sat during the rest of the March. Then follovVed, in long succession, - the uni ous other bodies of troops, ex-presidents, foreign ministers and the like, who length- ened the long ine. Mr. Buchanan, as he rode, looked very grave, and Mr. Lincoln very calm. . CLOSING sCENEs IN THE SENATE. The Senate sat in unbroken session from 7 o’clock on Sunday morning till 7 o'clock on Monday morning. At midnight on Sun— day the galleries were thronged with ladies. In the gray of the morning the Senate ad- journed till 10 o’clock. At noon Mr. Breckinridge, who came in a few minutes before with Mr. Hamlin on his arm, made a brief farewell address, and then adminis- tered the oath to Mr. Hamlin in these words “I, Hannibal Hamlin, do solemnly swear to support the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Breckinridge then retired from the chair and took a seat among the Sena- tors by the side of Mr. Seward. Mr. Ham» lin rapped with his gavel to call the Senate to order, and made a brief introductory speecn. The Senate then waited for Mr. Lincoln, who entered about 1 o’clock, con: ducted by Mr. Buchanan, followed by Chief- Justice 'l‘aney and the other Judges of the Supreme Court, and the Diplomatic Corps. These, with the Senators, immediate] form- ed into procession, and proceeded to t e East Portico of the Capitol—the spot from which the Inaugural was to be‘delivered. The par- ty took seats under a small wooden canopy erected for the purpose. Senator Baker of Oregon introduced the President elect to an iislslembled multitude of 50,000 persons, as 0 0W5: . "FELLOW:CITIZENS: I, introduce to on Abraham Lincoln, the President elect o the United States of America.” ‘ TEE DELIVERY OF THE ADDRESS. The great throng rent the air with cheers, duringI which Lincoln arose and repeatedly bowe . Then, puttin on his spectacles, he opened the roll of ‘his PISS" spread it upon: small table before him, laid his cane upon it to keep the wind from blowing away the sheets, and began in a clear, strong voice—‘ entirely freed from the huskiness causedby his open air speaking during his journey—tn: read his Inaugural address, of which proba- bly 30,000 persons heard every word he said. The intentness with which-he was listened tO by ChiefJustice Taney.—-who is .an' in- firm old man of fourscore ars old—was - noticed by all spectators. tiring its deliv- ery—which occupied about half an hour— Mr. Lincoln was interrupted by vociferous applause, particularly at all his references to enforcing the laws, and maintaining the Union. ' - At it its conclusion, the Chief J ustice arose and in presence of the audience, who uncov- ered their heads, administered the oath in a somewhat feeble “but earnest voice—Mr... Lincoln repeating the words as follows, I, AnnAnAE LINCOLN, do solemnlyswesr . that I will faithfully execute the oflice ‘of President of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve rotect and defend the Constitution of the nited States. As soon as the multitude saw that the cor. emony was ended, the air once more rang with cheers. The Chief Justice—who, by the way, has adrninistted the oath to all the ' urea—yahook - r. Lincoln’s hand in congratulation ; after which the President’s palm felt the reason of many other bands both of politi friends and political foes, conspicuous among whom was his old antagonist, Senator Douglas. 1m.

The Diplomatic‘corps were then" ~ presented to Mr. Lincoln, and afterwards anybody who could get in were at liberty to present themselves. After a hand-sha- king which lasted uiitil after the President was tired, he was escorted to his carriage. and rode in company with Mr. Buchanan to the White House—the carriage passingpas ’ it neared the mansion, 'through a double row of troops. Mr. Buchanan took his leave of Mr. Lincoln in the main hall, expressing a wish that his administration might prove prosperous. . The Err-President then retired to the resi- dence of his friend, Mr. Ould, District Aller- iiey, where he spent the night, and the next day departed for Ii is reeldence at Wheatland. GEN. seorr’s cannons. .. The admirable decorum of the day’s pro. cecdings was due in great measure to the exertions of Gen.

' The old General deserves the thanks of thc‘ country for the energy and patriotism which he has displayed ever since he went to Wash- ington some months ago to keep his e c on ~the seces'sfon movement. After the t part of the labor of the eventful day was over he exclaimed to one of his friends, “Every- thing is going peaceably, and I. thank God for it.” . THE INAUGURATION BALL.
