IIYAUGUItAL ADDRESS.
Tbe! following is a "copy of tlra Inaugural
. Address delivered oa Wednesday the 4th by
Hon. James Buchanan, on his installation as
fl': " ' ' -"' ; "
President of the United States for the ertsu-
ing loUr years; i- ,
Fellow-Citizeks I appear ' before you
this day to take The soemti tsath that t will
Ctithfally execute the office of President of
the United States, andi will, to the best of my
Rbility,ipreserVe," protect Sndtiefsnyth-3 Con
stitution "of the United Stales."
In entering tipon ths great oce t dust
humbly invoke the'God of our fathers for
wisdom and firmness to execute its high and
res ponsi hie duties in such manner as to re
store harmony and ancient friendship among
the people of the several State, and to pre
serve oiijv free institutions throughout many
generations. Convinced tha't t owe my elec
n to the inherent lov0 for the Constitution
And the Union jhich 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 up9n any nation. Having de
termioeil not to become a candidate for re
ejection;, I sliall li'ave no motive to influence
my conduct in administering the Government
except ihe desire ably f and fiithftilly to serve
my couhitryand to live in the grateful memo
ry of rriy countrymen.
-We bKve recntlv passed through a Presi
dential contest in which the passions of our
filJow.qitisens were excited to the highest
degree -by questions of deep and vital impor
tance; ut when the people proclaimed their
will the: tempest at once subsided and all was
calm.y ,The voice of the majority, cpeaking
m the thanner prescribed4y tlie Constitution,
was'lieard, and instant Submission followed.
Our coiintry conld alone have exhibited so
graml-ahd Striking a spectacle of the capacity
of. man -for self-government.
' Whaj a happy conception, then, was it for
Congress to apply this simple rule that the
il! of jtfie majority shall govern to the
seiuement ot ttie question ot domestic slave
ry in thjj Territories ! Congress is neither
"to legilljate slavery into any Territory or
State, nor to exclude it therefrom; but to
leave thte people thereof perfectly free to form
anu regulate their domestic institutions irf
their pvii way, subject only to the Constitu
tidnf jtte United Stlates." As a natural
coneque)ce, Congress has also prescribed
thar-wl4ri the Territory of Kansas sliall be
admitted as a State it '"shall be received into
the' .tTrioh with or without slavery, as their
constitution may prescribe at the time of
their -admission." . " " J
''. ' .
. A difference of. opinion has' arisen in re-
gard.tojthe point of 'time when the people of
R Territbry shall decide this question for them
selre. j' , - ,. "-J.' ' :
Tim Ishajipily, a matter of but little prac
tical irrrortance. Besides, it is a judicial
qnestioi which legittrnatelv belongs to the
Silprene Court of the United States, before
whom! it is now pending and - will, it is un
derstood, be speedily and finally settled. To
their decision, in common with all good citi
,zms,I shall cheerfully submit, whatever this
may b though it has ever been, my . individ
1 al opiniorthat under the . Nebraska-Kansas"
act the, Appropriate period will be when tha
nurnberjof actual residents in the Terntbry
shall .jtify the formation of . constitution
.with a yiew to its admission as a State into
tle Unibn. But, be this "as ,it may, it. is the
imperative; and indispensable duty of the
Government of the United' States to secure
to everyj resident inhabitant the free and in
dependent expression" of his opinion by, his
vte. Tj-hls sacred ,-right of reach 'individual
ist bq preserved; . That being accompiish
nothing can be fairer than to, leave the'
, f0!1?,.-. ,a Territory ' free from all foreign
. J-terferehce to, decide their ,.own destiny for
emseiyes, subject only : to thq ..Cooititutfon
01 the United States.
The whole; Territorial question rjeiri;thus
settled u rjori 'he-principle Of .popular .sover-eignty-r-aprinclple
al ancient as free goyerni
ment itself everything of a practical nature
has been decided; - Ko other question remains
jfor adjustment; because nil agree, that under
the Constitution: slavery in ' the iStatek is be
yond the reach of. anj human 'power except
that 'of , toe respective. States themselves
wherein it existsJ May we not, then, .hope
that the long agitation on this subject is ap
proaching its end, and that the geographical
parties to whietfit has given birth, so much
dreaded by the Father of hh Country, will
speedily become extinct ? Most happy will
it be fo'f trie country whetrtlie public mind
shsll be diverted from this question to others
of more pressing and practical importance.
Throughout the whole progress of. this agita
tion, which has fcarc'el known any inter
mission for. more than" twenty years whilst it
has been productive of no positive good to
any human being, it ? hits been the prolific
source of great evils to the master to the
slave, and to the whole coantrjr. It has ali
enated and estranged the people of the sister
States from each other, and has even serious
ly endangered the very existence of the Union.
Nor has the danger yet . entirely ceaed. Un
der our system there is a remedy for all
mere political evils in the sound sense, and
sober judgment of the people. Time is a
great corrective. Political subjects, which
but a few years ago excited and exasperated
the public mind, have passed away and are
now nearly forgotten. But this question of
domestic slavery is of far graver importance
than any mere political question, because,
should the agitation continue, it may event
ually endanger the personal safety of a large
portion of our countrymen where the insti
tution exists In that event, no form of gov
ernment, however admirable m itself, and
however productive of material benefits, can
compensate for the loss of peace and domestic
security around the family altar. K Let every
Union loving man, therefore, exert his best
influence to suppress this agitation, which,
since the recent legislation of Congress is
without any legitimate object.
It i3 an evil omen of the times tbat men
have Undertaken to calculate the mere raa-
tp.rial vnlua of th Unian. Reasoned oti mates
have been presented of the pecuniary profits
and local advantages which would result to
different States and sections from its d'rssolu
tion, and of the comparative injuries which
such an "event-would inflict on other States and
sections. Even descending to this low and
narrowyieJ5V'Ortne mighty question, all such
calculations are at fault. The bare reference
to a'single consideration will be conclusive
on this point.- We at present enjoy a free
trade throughout our extensive and expanding
country such as the world has never witnes-,
sed. This trade is conducted on railroads and
canals, on noble rivers and arms of the sea,
which bind together the North and the outh,
the East and the West of our Confederacy.
Annihilate this trade, arrest itis free progress
by the geographical lines of jealous and hostile
States, and you destroy the prosperity and
onward march of the whole! and every part,
aud involve all in one common ruin. But
such considerations, important as they are in
themselves, sink into insignificance when We
reflect on the terrific evils which would result
from disunion to every portion of the Conr'
Federacy Ho the North not more than to th6
South, to; the - East" not more than to the
Y"est. These I shall not attempt to portray j
because I feel an humble confidence that the
kind. Providence which inspired our fathers
with wisdom Jo frame the most perfect form
of government and union ever devised by man
will not suffer it to perish until it shall have
Wen peacefully instrumental, by its example,
in the extension of civil and religious liberty
throughout the world.
Next in the importance to the maintenance
of the Constitution and the Union, is the diity
o.f preserving the Government free . from the
taint or even the suspicion of corruption
Public virtue is the vital spirit of repdblics
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 de
parted forever.
'Our present financial condition is without
a. parallel in historv. 'No nation has ever
before been embarrassed from too large a
surplus in i" treasury: This almost neces-'
sariljr gives birth to extravagant, legislation.-
It produces wild-schemes of expenditure, and
begets a race of speculators and jobbers, whose
ingenuity is exerted iri contriving, and ' pro
moting expedients to obtain public-money.
The purity of ofBcial ageuts, whether" right-
fully or wrongfully, is suspected, and toe
character of the Government- suffers in' the
estimation" of the people. " .This is in ' itself a
very greai evil. .
The Inatural mode of relief from j this "em-
barrassment is to appropriate the surplus in
th'e Treasury to great " national object, for;
which' a clear warrant an be found in " .the
Constitution. Among these I might xnen
tion the; extinguishraent of the public debt; a
reasonable increase of the navy, which is at
,present inadequate to the protection of , our
vast tonnage-afloat, nov greaCef than that of
any oth!r fiationi 'as well il to the i defence of
our ext(p4ec1 ia Cost: . - .
j It is beyond all question the true principle
that no iibr0'feventfe onght Pto be collected
from th people .than -the amount necessary
to defray theC expenses o a wise, economical
and efficient administration of the Govern
ment. jTo reaeh this point it was necessary to
resort t4 amodifioatjon of the tariff; and this
has, I trust, jbeen accomplished in such a mani
ner aa to do as little injury as may have been
practicable to our domestic manufactures,
especially those necessary for; the defence of
the country.f . Any discrimination .against a
particular branchi for the purpose of benefit'
ting favored corporations, individuals, or in
terests, tvouid 1 have been'4unjust to the rest of
the community and inconsistent with that
spirit of fairness and equality which ought to
govern in trje adjustment of a revenue tariff.
But the squandering of the public money
sinks1' into cotiiparatiYe insignificance as a
temptation to corruption when compared with
the squandering of the phblic lands. No na
tion in the tide of time has ever been blessed
with so rich; and noble. an inheritance as we
enjoy in the public lands In administering
this important trust, wiiilst it .may be wise to
grant portions of therri for the improvement
of the remainder, yet we sboiild never forget
that it is our cardinal policy to reserve these
lands as much as may be fprV actual settlers,
and this! at moderate prices. We shall thus
not only best promote the prosperity of the
new States and Territories by furnishing them
a hardy, and independent race of honest and
industrious citizens,but shall secure homes
for our children and our children's children, as
well as for those exiles from foreign shores
who may seek in this country to im
prove their condition and to enjoy the bles
sings of jeivil and religious liberty. Such
emigrants have done much to promote the
i i
growth and prosperity of the country. Thev
have jr?ved
faithful both in peace and in war.
After becom
ng citizens tliey are" entitled,
under the Constitution antLlawc, to l plvcd
on a perfect equality with native born citizens,
and in this character they should ever be
kindly recognized.'
iThe federal Constitution " is a grant from
the States to Congress of certain specific
powers; and the question whether this grant
should be liberally or strictly construed has
more-or less; divided political parties from the
beginning. Without entering into the argu
ment, I desire to state at the commencement
of my Administration, that long experience
and observation have convinced me that a
strict construction of the powers of the Gov
ernments the only true, as well as the only
safe, theory of the Constitution. Whenever,
in our past history, doubtful powers have
been exercised by Congress, these have never
failed to! produce injurious and unhappy con
sequences. Many such instances might be ad
duced if his were the proper occasion. Neither
is it necessary for the public service to strain the
language of the Constitution, because all the
grfeat ancl useful powers required for a success
ful administration of the Government, both in
peace and in 'war, have been granted, either in
ex ress lerms or by the plainest implication.
Whilst deeply convinced of these truths, I
yet consider it clear that, under the war mak
ing power, Congress may appropriate money
towards the construction of a military road,
wlien this is absolutely necessary for the de
fence of any State or Territory ot tthe Union
against foreign invasion. Under the Consti
tution Cpngress has power "to declare war,"
"to raise and support armies," "to provide and
maintain! a navy and to call forth the militia
to "repej invasions." Thus . endowed, in an
ample manner, with a war making power, the
corresponding duty is required that 4the
United States! shall protect each of them (the
States) x against invasion.' - Now,- how is it
possible jto afford this protection to California7
and our Pacific possessions, except by means
of la military road through the Territories of
the) United States, over which men and muni-
tiohs of war tnay -be speedily transported from
thej Atlantic States to meet :and , to repel the
invader lj- - -t -.'u. .-.-"' s' .
1 ' ' - , . '' . -. . ....
In the event of a war wlth a naval power
much stronger than our own, we should then
have no otheravailable access to the Pacific
coast; because, such a power would instantly
close the'route tictoss the isthmus of .'Central
America,1 It is impossible to' - conceive that,
whilst the, Constitution has expressly required
Conffressj to defend all the States, it should
yet denyjto therrjj by any fair "construction,
the only possible means by which one of these
States can be . defended.' r Besides, the Gov
ernment,everiVinc"e its origin, has been in the
constant j practice of constructing:, military
roads.
It might : also be
wise
tb consider
whether the love for the Uulon Wnich now
animates our fellow-citizenson Uthe. -Pacific?
coast may not be Impaired hy- our neglect or
refusal to provide for them, in. their remote
andj isblatecf condition, the.-onlyj means byi
which the power of the States, on! this side of
theitlocy Mountains,; can reach, i'them in
sujcien time to -protect? them, "against!
invasion:1' I forbear for the present from exi
pressingan opinion as ito the wiseWand most
economical mode in which the Government
can I lend kits aid in accoriiplishing ! this great!
an ri necessary , work. . I beli eye . th atT many!
of the difficulties in. the; way which ! nowi ap-j
pear formidable will, iri a great degree, vanish
as soon as the nearest and. beit route shall!
have been satisfactorily ascertained. . - --j
Itmayj be proper that, on this j occasion, t
should make some brief remarks in regard tot
ours rights and .duties j as a member of i thei
great fatbily of r nations. In our'
lintercoursei
' with them there are some plain
principles
approved by our own experience, from which'
we isho'uld . never depart. We ought to culti-j
vate peace, commerce Hnd friendship with all
natjons, and this not merely as the? best means:
of promoting our own material interests, but
in a spirit J of' Christian benevolence towards
ourj fellow men, wherever their Jot may be
cast Our diplomacy should be J direct 'and
frank, neither seeking to obtain more nor ac
cepting less than is our due. We ought to
cherish a sacred regard for. the independence
of all nations, and never attempt to interfere
in the domestic concerns of anyj unless this
shall be imperatively required by the great
law of sellj preservation. To avpid entang
ling alliances has been a maximiojr our policy
evejr since jthe days of Washington, and ;its
wisflom Wo one will attempt to dispute. -In
short, w4 qught to do justice, in a kindly spU
rit,i to all nations, and require; justice from
them ih return; - xl. J r "
It h bur glory that whilst other nations!
have extended their dominions by the sword ,j
we have nsver acquired any territory except;
by fair purchase, or, as in the case of Texas,!
by the Vo! untary determination of a brave,
kindred and independent people to blend their
destinies! with our ovn. Even
our acquisi-
tions from
Mexico form no exception. Un
take advanRge of the fortune of!
willinor to
war. iigarnt oiatcr Rptt'bHt?, r wje purchasdl
these possessions, under the treaty of peacej
for a sum which was considered at the time a!
fair) equivalent. .Our past history forbid
that we shall in the future acquire territoryf
unless tills be sanctioned by the laws of jus-
tice and hdnor. Acting on this principle, no
nation will hae a riglit to interfere or to
complain in the progress of events we shall!
still further extend our possessions. :
Hithertoin all our acquisitionsj the people,
under the protection of the American flag,
have enjoyed Civil and religious liberty, as
well as equal and just i laws, ; and have been
contented, prosperous and happy. Their trade
with the rest of the world has rapidly increa
sed;! and thus every cbmmercial j nation has
shared largely in their isucdessfuLprogress

A Texan correspondent of the Nevr Orleans
Picayune teli a good story, in one of hii let-j
ters, of a : "su'rljr'faced, grizzly-haired, fcuffy
and moon-eyed chap,". who persecuted a: cer
tain roguish, damsel with his, attention; and
was finally thrown off the course of true love

. It being the watermelon season and Betty's
father, hftvipg' a fine supply, all the youngsters
for miles around assembled there oa the holi
day to feast on melons.
Cr was prominent in the circle till the after,
noon. . Betty held private interviews with the
other young men and arranged that C.sfaould
be decayed from the house, and frightened by
the cry of Indians from som of his comrades,
which, it was thought, would wound .bis pride
and drive him away.. " , ' - I
Five young men, with walked out, , A
bath in the river, three hundred yards distant,
-was proposed by one, and seconded by severah
Of course, poor C. was "in."
They went down to the ford, near the mel-on-patch
and began undressing. In the mean
tiroe eight of the others, with guns, hadgono
down, undercover of the bank, and secreted
themselves' along the path from' tbe bathing
place to the house.
"Now boys," said one, "who should be the
first to dive into that 'ere pool!'
'I will, said C; "ain't I first with the gals?
In coursell'm first here."
Off went coats, shoes, pants, fcc. Just as
C. ! had doffed everything barring a long
flannel shirt bangl bangl W.ho-wo-yeh! -Bang!
went two, three, four guns -long and
shrill went the Indians' yell in the Sense

George Williams. , . ; V
r "Run for life, men ! run for mercy s sake,
run!" cried Jack Parsons. :
'One of my eyes is out, and both arms bro
ken!" all being said ju au instant.
Po you see that red blaze along the path?
Look a moment what Velocitvl The iaorored

pieces; louder than ever, rose the hideous
war-cry. ' ' '" .'" .
Oh I Lord!" shouted" CM redoubling his
speed; the red blazes getting largerbunches
of his bushy hair dropping out as he "spread
himself." See him leap the yard fence high
in tbe air- red shirt and all. ' ,
The porch was full of ladies off went two
or three f more pieces. 1f C. glanced at the
ladies,, then at his shoi t red shirt. ; T
? 'Ruri for your life, C. " screamed Hetty:
"the house is full of Indians. . lather's dead
and brother Sam wounded. Rtrn speed!"
In the twinkling of an ej'e C. was out of
thej yard; and, supposing the premises sur
rounded, off he shot the red blazes more
brilliant than -ever- and striking directly into
a thick, thorny bottom, he reached and swam
the river; and, although it was near sunset,
C. got into a settlement, fifty miles distant, to
breakfast next morning; still , retaining-the
sleeves and -collar of his j red shirty and re
porting all the family, visitors, &c, among
the slain. As for himself, he said lie fought as
long as fighting would do any good.

whether or not Bettv was troubled with C.
