General Zacba ry Taylor, President 9C the United States, delivered to the Senate And ,Mrrters of the House of Represcnlatires of the Uni ted States, and thousand! of assembled cit izens, in front of the Capitol, the following ; : INAUGURAL ADDRESS " Elected by the American Peoplbjjto the highest Office known to oir laws, I appear here to take the oath prescribed by the Constitution ; and, in compliance yith a time-honored custom, to address those who are now assembled.- ML The confidence and respect shown by my CountrymVh in calling me to the Chief Magistrate of ajlepublicf holding ia high rank among the nations of the earth, have inspired me with feelingsf of the most pro found erratitude : but, when I reflect that the acceptance of the office which their partiality has bestowed ifnpdses the dis- ?rge oHbe most arddptiesdin- voivcs ine weigniiest uuiigu4iuns,, 1 am conscious that the position which I have been called to fill, though suflicientjto sat isfy the loftiest ambition, is surrounded by fearful responsibHities. Happily, howev er, in the performance offmy new; duties, I shall not be without able co operation. The legislative and Judicial brnches of the Government present prominent ex amples of distinguished qivil attainments and matured cxperiencVl and it shall be my endeavor to call to my assistance in the Executive Departments- individuals whose talents, integrity! and purity of character will furnish ample guaranties InrthH t)4htiil nnd hnnnrah p. npr nrfnance si 4" 1 a 1 -51 . , P . , , , 1 . -, 1 I , . of the trusts to be cormnitted tp their charge. With such aids, and an honest purpose to; do whatever is right, I hope to execute diligently, impartially, and for the best interests of the country, the manifold duties devolved upon me : ' !? In the discharge of tliese duties, my guide will be the Constitution which I this day swear to " preservej fprotect, aid de fend." For the interpretation of j that in strument I shall look to the decisions of j the Judicial Tribunals established fby its - authority, and to the practice of the Gov- ernment under the earlief Presidents, who had so large ashare in its formation To the example of those illustrious patriots 1 shall always defer with reverence ; and especially to his example who was, by so many titles, the Fatheflof his Country." To command the Army and Njavy of the United States ; with the advice and consent of the Senate, to" make (Treaties and to appoint Ambassadors and other officers ; to give to Congress information of the state of the Union, and recommend such measures as he shall liudge tb be nec essary ; and to take care that the laws shall be faithfully executed : these are the most important functions entrusted, to the President by the Constitution ; and t may be expected that I shall, briefly, indicate the principles which will controlllme in their execution. S p Chosen by the body of the People under the assurance that my. administration would be devoted to the welfare of the whole country, and not tq the support of any particular section or merely local in terest, I this day renew the declarations I baVe heretofore made, and proclaim my fixed determination to maintain, to the extent of my ability, the Government in its original purity, and to adopt as the ba sis of my public policy those grejat re publican doctrines whicli constitute the strength 6f our national existence. U . , , ., ... f , i :J' ! Iate1 emPIo)"ed Wlth so much distinction in rcicrcucc me vrnry auu u. I . . . , , . . I, on active service, care snail be j taken to ensure the highest condition of efficiency ; and, in lurtherancc of that object, the mil- itary and naval schools sustained by the liberality of Congress, shall receive the special attention of the Executive. 1 As American freemen, we cannot but sympathize in all effortsjto extend the blessings of civil and political liberty ; but, at the same time, we are Jwarncd By the admonitions of History arid the voice of our own beloved Washington to abstain from entangling alliances with foreign na- tions. In all disputes betveen cjonfljicting Governments, it is our irfterest: not less ' lhun our duty to remain strictly nebtral ; ! whi,e our geographical position, tile ge- nius ot our institutions and our peop e, the . . I .Si, advancing spirit of civilization, and.above all, the dictates of religionfdirect us to the cultivation of peaceful and friendly rela- tions with all other Powers. It isjjto be hoped that no international question can now arise which a GovernTient, confident in its own strength and, resolved to prcK tect its own just rights, may not settle by wise negotiation ; and it jeminentiw be- comes a Government like our dwnJloun- d on the morality and infelligencel of its citizens, and upheld by their affections, to exhaust eery resort of honorable dinlo- to jarms. In the conduct of our foreign relations I shall clonform to these views, asLbelievef: them essential to the best interests aodahe true honor of the country. ; The appointing power ! vested i.n the President imposes dedicate tCud onerous du- r ties. So" far as it is imposslblrtc in- formed, I shall make honesty, capacity, and fidelity indispensable pre-requisites to the bestowal of office, and the absence of either of these qualities shall be - deemed sufficient cause for remdval. It shall be my study to recommend such constitutional measures to Congress as may be necessary and proper tolsecu re encouragement and protection to the great interests of Agriculture,? Commerce, and Manufactures ; to improve our rivers and harbors ; to provide for the speedy extin guishment of the public debt ; to enforce a strict accountability on the parti of all officers of the Government, and the utmost economy in all public expenditures But it is for the wisdom of Congress itself, in which all legislative powers are Vested by the Constitution, to regulate these and other matters of domestic policy, j shall look with confidence to i the enlightened patriotism of that body to adopt such mea sures of conciliation as may harmonize conflicting interests, and tend to perpetu ate that Union which should be the para mount object of our hopes and affections. In any action calculated to promote an object so near the heart of every one who truly loves his country, I will zealously unite with the co-ordinate branches of the Government. In conclusion, I congratulate yop, my fellow-citizens, upon the high state of prosperity to which the gqodness of Di vine Providence has conducted our com mon country. Let us invoke a continue ance of the same Protecting Care which as led us from small beginnings to the eminence we this day occupy, and let us seek to deserve that continuance by pru dence and moderation in our councils; by well-directed attempts to assuage the bitternessj which tooN(ten marks un avoidable differences of opinion ; by the promulgation and practice of just and lib eral principles : and by anenlarged patri otism which shall acknowledge no. limits but those of our own wide-spread Repub lic.

On Friday night the House of Representa. lives rejectedjthe amendment of MrJVValker to the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill. The bill was then returned to the Senate and the Senate insisted. A committee of Confer, ence was asked for and appointed. On Saturday, the committee of conference reported that they could not agree. Both Houses continued in session all night, and did not adjourn till 7 o'clock this morning.) Mr. Morehead, in the House, moved to amend the bill by disclaiming any settlement of the Texan boundary, which was carried. Mr. Thompson of Indiana, moved substantially Mr. Webster's amendment to the bill, which was also carried, by yeas 111, noes 105. As thus amended, the Bill passed the House about 2 o'clock this morning. The session was 'most stormy and expited two fights occurred, between Messrs. Giddings and Meade, and Ficklin and Clarke. The bill, after passing the House, was con veyed to the Senate, where a long discussion ensued accompanied by a little fight which oc curred between Senators Foote and Cameron. General Cass and friends endeavored to break up the session of the Senate and thus prevent the bill Irom passing. At last, however, a mo tion to recede from the Senate's amendment was carried. So the bill stood passed by Con gress without Walker's amendment . The bat lie may therefore be considered a drawn one as regards the Wilmot Proviso. The rumors relative to Gen. Taylor's Cabi net now are, the Hon. Wrh. Ballard Preston takes the Navy Department, Hon.- ReHerdy Johnson to be Attorney General, and Hon. Jno. Davis to have charge of the new Depart ment of the Interior. ' THE CABINET. ' A telegraphic despatch to the Raleigh rStan dard, dated Washington, March 6, four o'clock, P.

This scheme, though regarded at first with indifference, is rapidly growing in public favor. Tile more it is discussed and understood, the greater dues its adaptation to the peculiar wants of the Western people, appear. As long as the present habits of our farmers continue, (and it is well known how slowly and gradually they ! are changed,) a Plank Road from Salisbury to Fayetteville, must be to them a great desidera tum. The number of horses which are kept by them on their farms, will, during certain sea. sons of the year be unemployed, if not used in wagoning, and thus they can convey their own produce to market on a Plank Road much cheaper than can be done for them by any known, mode of transportation. The object, however, of this communication, is not to pre sent the claims of the Plank Road to the public, as they are, I beHeve, generally appreciated, but to make some suggestions as to the route which it ought to take fromlhis point to Fayetteville. This is a matter of great importance to the success of the Road, and deserves instant and attentive consideration by its well-wishers. From a recent paragraph in the Fayetteville Observer, the upper route, as it is called, through Moore, Randolph and Davidson, seems to be preferred. by the citizens of Fayetteville. There is, however, another route proposed, I passing Gold Hill and Albemarle, crossing the j Pedee River, near the mouth of Rocky River, j and from thence a direct course to Fayetteville. j This would be shorter than the upper route, and traverse a section of country much more favor- j ble for the construction of tbe Road, being more ! level and better timbered. If the Central Rail Road is built, of which we have no doubt, then the Plank Road, if it takes the upper route, will be brought in direct competition with it for the carrying trade of Rowan, Davidson and Ran dolph ; so tnatone or the other, and probably both will suffer irom this competition, which will end, most likely, in the ruin of the Plank Road.' By taking the lowler route, the Plank Road would monopolize the carrying busfness of Stanly, Montgomery, and a large portionof Cabarrus, Union, Anson, Richmond, and Robe, son, a greater portion of the produce of which now seeks a market in South Carolina. An other reason why the lower route should be chosen is, that otherwise, that portion of Wes tern North Carolina will derive no benefit from the liberal measures of our last patriotic Legis lature while another portion of the State will have within a space of sixty miles, the Rail Road,the PlankRoad, and the benefit of the annrofirhitmns for imnrovin" Dspd. Haw. and rr 'i - o r - Cape Fear Rvers. Why it is even proposed by a Writer in the Fayetteville Observer, to run the road for a distance of thirty. four miles along ihe bank of Deep River, for the improving of the navigation of which a large amount was appropriated by the last Legislature. If the counties of tanly, "Montgomery, Anson, Rich mond, and Robeson, do not bestir themselves, and assert their just rights, this prize will be snatched from them. JUSTICE. Raleigh, N. C. Dec. 8, 1848. The Committee to whom was referred so much of the Grand Master's Address, as relates to the death of Past Grand Master. David W. Stone, ask leave to submit the following Re port: Whilst there has been many causes, in our Masonic history, during the past year, for rejoicings; whilst the rapid increase of the order and the permanent establish ment of its truths and principles swell every generous bosom with emotions of pleasure, our delight is marred with the thought that one of Masonry's proud ornaments has been overtaken by 'he ruthless destroyer, and now 6leepa, hushed in the silent, the icy embraces of death ! Oh, death ! how heavily the sound fajls upon the heart ! Yet, whrn we place ourselves, as it were upon an emi nence, and watch the varioas changes which come over human society, as we see one by one of our fellows drop into the grave, we should be reminded that the period is not far distant, when our places on earth shall be va cated, and we pass to that bourne from whence no trav eller returns. Bro. Stone was first elected Grand Master of the State of North Carolina at the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge, held in the year, 1837. He was confin ed in office until the time prescribed by the Constitution became a barrier to his re-election. .Your Committee i are informed that he .served in the capacity of Grand Master, not only with entire satisfaction to the Grand Lodge, but with an ability that tells at the present upon the successes and advancement of the glorious cause in which we are engaged. Whilst we let fall the silent tear to the memory of our departed brother, we would impress it upon the hearts of all that we should treasure up the good taught us by his example ; let his imperfections be forgotten be bu- : ried with his ashes. Your Committee would recommend the adoption of the following Resolutions : Resolved, That this Grand Lodge will wear the us ual badge of mourning for the space of thirty days, as a token of respect and esteem for the memory of our de ceased bother. Resolved, That this Grand Lodge recommend to the subordinate Lodges a similar course, as soon as they ob tain a knowledge of the course of the Grand Lodge. Remitted, That the Grand Secretary be instructed to furnish a copy of these Resolutions lo his Widow, and request the Editors of newspapers, in this city, and else where, friendly to our order, to publish them. NUMA F. REID, L. C. EDWARDS. At a regular meeting of Fulton Lodge, No. 99, held at their Lodge Room, on Friday evening, March 2d, 1849, it was Retolted, That thd Brethren of this Lodge do carry out the recommendation of the Grand Lodge, by wear ing crape on the left arm for thirty days. C. S. BROWN, Sec'y. We understand that it has been found necessary by the President of the United States to require that all applications for office shall be made' to the Chiefs of the several Departments, by whom they will be submitted at the proper lime. No di rect application can be entertained by the President for any office whatever. Nat. Int. - CAROLINA WATCHMAN. Salisbury, N. C.

The reader will find in to day's paper, the Inaugural Address of President Tay lor, and cannot, we feel assured, fail to admire and commend it in every particu lar.

The Legislative Department of the Government will be left to exercise its legitimate functions, without molesta tion from the " one man power" as has been the case for tlie last twenty years, But above all. we feel assured, that every effort will be made by the newly installed President, to cultivate honorable peace and happiness among all the States of the Union, and with Foreign nations, Such being the principles which are to govern the actions of General Taylor's Administration, it must and will meet with M aid and comfort," from every sec tion of the Country ; and from the 5th in stant a new era may be said to have com menced one that generations yet to come, will speak of with proud satisfaction, and call the Hero and Statesman of Buena r . r , LT r rom every section ot the Uoun- try, we see that den.

When a man thus receives the commendation of all parties, we think we may say with safety, that there is a better time coming that the bitter spirit which has raged so long, and with such virulency, w n a measure be assuaged. PLANK ROAD. The Fayetteville Carolinian of the 10th instant says, that $55,000 have been sub scribed, thus far, to the Plank Road, and there is supposed to be no doubt of its construction. We are rejoiced to find this to be so, and are gratified to have it in our power to state that the amount of subscriptions at this place has increased several hun dred since our last., $75,000 have been subscribed, we learn, to the Cape Fear and Deep river improve- ments.

A large number of the officers of the Navy yesterday called to pay their res pects to the Hon.
