MR. BUCHANAN'S INAUGURAL AD-
- DUES.
We lakl this product ioo before oir reader
la tbe last Kmutxju As a composition, it
w well enough, mod nth as any pretty well
dactted niaa could easily furnish. Tb
portioa of the address whieh refers to the
blessings and value of the Union U nnexeep-
tionable, and will receive the heart endorse
tion of ererr true friend of his eounry. It
will Lot, boweTer, be much relished by some
of Mr. Buchanan' fire-eating friends in the
Sooth, and thia fact gives additional valce to
Mr. B.'s expressed sentiments, inasuioch as
we are warranted to infer that tbe course of
Lis administration will not be influenced by
extremists in either quarter of the confede
racy. . We are not a little eurions t
what the Soothers Democratic press will say
about their President's views on the subject.
of the Railroad to the Pacific. When his
famous California letter, written so as not to
get back to the Atlantic States until after
the election, made its appearance, there was
a great flatter among the Democratie pigeons.
How will it be now that the views expressed
in the letter, bare been incorporate J in'o old
Back's first State paper ! Perhaps tbe Stand
ard will obligingly famish all the iofoima-
tioo it has on the subject, and tell as can
didly if it as a State Bights journal, approres
ef a construction by Congress, under the war.
aaking jxncrt of a railway to the l'acifii
Ooeaa. Va would be pleased, too, to Inow
if the Standard eaa conceive of a more gigan
tie power, and patronage-conferring work,
thai the construction of this Koad to tbe Pa
eifisby the Federal Government If tbe
General Government makes this JJoad, the
General Government will own it, and man
ege it, and who ein tell the amount of men
who will be employed in tbe construction of
the Road, and its subsequent management
in all its departments, and who can estimate
the amount of mooey which mast be placed
ta the hands of the Federal Executive to be
peat in the construction of the Road ? If,
ia addition to the Army and Navy, the Post
OSces, the Custom Houses, and. the other
patronage of the President, wc give him tbe
eon t ruction and management of a road span
siag this vast continent, what would not a bad,
and ambitions man some Cromwell, Aaron
Burr or Bonaparte, be able to accomplish ?
Would. not the liberties of the people be
completely at the mercy of such a man, in
vested with each powers It will not for
two reasons do to aay that Congress after
making the Road, conld give it up to tbe
States through which it passed. First, it
would be unjust to the States through which
it did not pass. The Road would be con
structed by means of a fond created by the
people of all the States, and to give it up ia
sections to a few States, would be rank in
justice to all the rest. Second, the Demo
traey of the South, carrying oat their Public
Land doctrine, would turn up their Demo
cratic noes at the idea of placing these
Slates in the attitude of "pensioner on tbe
bounty of tie Federal Government," (!) al
though we shrewdly au-peot that the States
through which this Road would pass, would
gladly stand in this attitude to the General
Government an attitude all the more agree
able because it costs comparatively little of
their means. We have never joined in the
wolf cry about the danger of "State Rights,"
bat as we eaa very well see bow they may
be destroyed, and as we no. more wish to see
the General Government destroy the State
Governments, than we desire to see the State
Oaremmen's usurp the granted, or necessari
ly implied, powers of tbe Federal Govern
ment, wt would never consent that Coagras
should build this Pacific Road. Congress
has now sufficient power and means to attain
all the ends of the Federal Government, and
we would let the means of intercourse with
the Pacific States remaia precisely whit they
are to the end of time, before we would se
Coogreas build a railway to connect these
States with the Atlantic. We write not this
as a party man. No party polities is involv.
d in, or eaa be properly connected with the
question. We write as an American citix en,
f;e4 to express his opinions upon all matters
pertaining to the interests of his country.
Agaiavt Mr. Buohanan'r views in regard
to tbe Publie Lands, we protest, because they
are outrageously nnjot to the old States,
and particularly to the Sta'-hern portion of
them. If the squandering of tbe pub-
lie money sinks into comparative insig
nificance, as a temptation to corruption, when
compared with the squandering of the Public
Lands, whyn tbe name ef all that is just.fair,
and reasonable, are not the Lands distributed
among the States as equally as possible 1
What earthly claim have the new Territories
and States to the exclusive possession cf
what was gi tea up for the om of the General
Government and the States, or the people
thereof! Tbe General Government have
no not only no use for these Lands, bat the
newly installed Democratie President, whh
Lis first c&cial words, declares them to be
the aouxce of incalculable evil and eorraptioo.
Is it not obvionj, that according to the deeds
f cession, these Lands should now be given
np for the "use of the States," or the people
thereof, and wouldn't it be a damnable wrong
and oauage, to surrender them to the crca
iitt "use! and poisexsion of the new Sutes
ad Territories I
i P. S.Sitj.?e the above was wnlten.we Lave
S4M-o direr of our exchange papers on both
sides of tbe 'politic tl fence, and do not find
even in our I'riaocratie files,1 aay exuberant
manifestation of feeling about the inaugural.
It septus to be? regarded as humJnvtical
sort of a paper, whoso chif, and only, merit
is, that it has not itartled anrbody.' Well,
this we tbtnk is agreeable, and vastly to be
preferred to your eight obi amn inaugurals,
brinling like columns of infantry, tbe tips of
whose bayonets are lighted op with the lurid
lightning of 'will war." Buck is placid,
and we hope placable.
Atuonz our exchanges, we take from the
Wilmington II;raU. an extract which gives in
brief, what we, previously to seeing it, and
having liiii", and ?pace, bad set forth more at
length. It Has follows :
The address, we take it, will not rive
satisfaction to the Southern Democracy. We
are anxious to fee wlnt the presses of that
party will have to say on the subject of tbe
Pacific Railroad the construction of which
at a cost of several hundred millions of dol
lars, Mr LJucbiuan favors nnder the "war-
making power" cf the Constitution. This
will be a hard nut for the strict construction
ists to crack.
On the subject of public lands, Mr. Bu
r.hanan is not sufficiently explicit... We gath
er, however, from what he sajs, that be is in
favor of the. present unjust system of squan
dering these lands for the benefit of the new
States a doctrine so manifestly wrong as to
cause us to wonder that any man should ad
vocate it.
In all that Mr. Buchanan says of tbe value
of tbe Union, and in opposition to sectional
excitement, we readily concur."
ICF" We had the pleasure of meeting on
yesterday with the lato Representative in
Congress from this District.- Although very
much, and very justly, opposed to Mr.
.Branch in politics, we are personally glad to
see him looking so well. Publio service is
certainly not wearing Aim out. By the way,
when ia the Democratie Nominating Conven
tion for this District to come off! Will any
body, or anybody's friends, contest the nomi
nation with Mr.Branch' We feel interested in
this matter. We have a Coutin down in Gran-
vil'e, who onoe represented this District in
Congress, and was so treated by his party
that a1 though we couldn't go his politics, our
family pride was hurt. He has no one to
take his part among his political brethren.
He is organles.e, and voiceless, (except in a
quiet, conversational way. when be is some-
times drawn vut,) and we must speak up for
him. Oar Cousin stands on his pins an ill
used man by the Democracy, and be oughtn't
to pat np with being put down in this uncer
emonious manner. If he doesn't resent his ,
wrongs, by the blood of all the 'Jenninges,'
we'll do it for him that's flat. '
COLD WEATIIKK
It was any thing but an agreeable surprise
to find the pround on !Mon Jay morning sprin
kled with snow, and the temperature anything
but cpring-iiKe. inere is something in
March cold that renders it more disagreea
ble than the severest eold of mid-winter.-
There is a diversity of opinion as to whether j
the fruit in this region is killed. We are in
clined to the opinion that in ordinary expo
sures, apricots and peaches have been killed.
Apples nd cherries are very rarely killed,
and will no doubt survive this weather, try
ing as it is.

find paragraphs like the following in our
Southern exchanges. They look more like
building up Southern trade and manufactures
than a host of "conventions." This is from
the Portsmouth (Va.) Transcript:
" .
We are glad to note that the subject of
concentrating Southern trade at Baltimore,
as far as possible, is receiving tbe attention
or our South and North Carolina friends, and
that our suggestions on this subject have not
been unproductive of good. This is as it
should be, and we trust that business men
here and in NorfoU will lead off in this mat
ter. There can be no doubt but that Balti
more is extending her wholesale trade facili
ties with tbe eoming of every season, and in
every branch of trade dry goods, groceries,
musical instruments, hardware, clothing, jew
elry, ic, ic. her supplies will be found
equal to those of Philadelphia or New York.
AKOTUER liEMOVAL.
We learn from the Weldon Patriot that
Mr. Marshall, the faithful and efficient Post
tuaster at Halifax, bas been rumored to
make room for Mr. J. V. AllenJ Tbe Pa
triot says f

Allen, for we believe that Le will make a good
officer, and personally, we like him, bat we
can see no just cause for Mr. Marshall's re
moval. Located in the very centre of town,

and we challenge denial of the fact,-yet, be
must be removed because be was not a Dem
ocrat. '. IVe consider it a verv small and rIv-
ayunUh bi&iness, bat nothing better could
be expected from Democracy. We are glad
that Mr. Alleo was appointed, since the ha
tred and venom that were harbored in some
bosoms, were bent on Mr. M.'s removal.
JFe look upon it as tbe crowning act of re

IAK Sik : Tb March Tjtui f our Su
perior Court has been this wtk in session,
his Honor, Judge Saunders, presidicg. jTbe
incidents of the week were not especially in
teresting, with the exception of the trial of
two slaves for tb mnrdr of their master
Lewis B. Norwood, last fall. The Solicitor
for the State, Thomas Ruffin, Jr., Esq., pros
ecuted, and Hon. John Kerr and Hugh Wad
dell, Esq., defended them. . The speeches off
these gentlemen were able, those for the de
fence being eloquent and ingenious. "The
jury rendered a verdict of Guilty, and the
prisoners have been' sentenced to be hanged
the 8th of May ensuing. ' -..
It is whispered about that the Democrats
have held a meeting this week Tuesday
and bare appointed certain delegates to a
District Convention, to meet, perhaps, in
April, with instructions to nominate for: re
election the late representative, Mr. Branch.
Your affectionate cousin," Mr. Venable,
was coolly overlooked entirely. Nay, they
did not treat him even with the cold respect
of a passing glance To g've piquancy and
freshness to their deliberations, the meeting was
so quietly held that your relative was not even
apprized of the purpose of the anti-Ameri
cans to hold a county convention, and its de
liberations were not suffered to reach'his ears
until the irrevocable fiat bad gOLe forth, that
Branch should enjoy the next two years,-six
thousand dollars, a fit regard for his illustri
ous services. Wnat bas he really performed,
that his claims should be preferred above all
othors ? Has not Mr. Venable been faithful
and zealous ? Has he not done the "State
some service," and labored in season and out
of season for bis dear party! And, now,
in bis advanced age and experience, to bo
thus overlooked, and tacitly snubbed ! It is
too bad- Verily, how ungrateful is Democ
racy in these latter degenerate days!
Whether be bas any politic! aspirations just
now, your correspondent s not informed, but
it is surmised, that probably he may become a
candidate upon his own book, and despite the
sudden and positive action of his once ancient
friends, the wire-pnljers and thimble-riggers
of Granvil'e, the fear of the Standard, or the
frowns of "cross road politicana and bob
tailed lawyers," canvass the district tho
roughly with a determination to achieve suc
cess. If so, who can tell with what result !
He may beat Branch at the polls as easily as
be will beat him upon tbo stump, and grasp
himself the six thousand dollars. Perhaps
the voters in this district will feel willing to
allow their late Representative to retire and
repose awhile after such a distinguished and
useful Congresional career. They know his
fidelity and labors have been great, and they
will doubtless be generous enough to permit
him to rest, or to turn his attention to those
pursuits more congenial to his passive nature,
and more consonant to the extensive range
of his rare attainments and the vigor and
compass of his intellectual ability. Mr.
enable is considerate and humane, and per
chance will be willing to relieve his friend
Branch of the arduous duties a loving con
stituency once imposed upon his unambitious
and retiring nature, and which they seem de
termined to afflict him' whh again, judging
by the phosphorescent light thrown out upon
the cimerian darkness around the lumnious or
acles of Granville Democracy. .We here take
occasion to return our thanks to the late
member for various public documents, which
he should have sent as. Query ! How.many
voters in the district, not democrats, were
honored in this way !

OIF" The closing scenes of tbe Tbirty-
F -mh Congress have not yet been detailed,
' 'ngth ; but the existence of the body came
: j a end, according to tne national intelli
gencer, under discouraging, not to say blame-
able, circumstances. Ibe appropriation bills
were pushed through, after a fashion, by
prolonging the session until noon on the 4th
of March, but a great mass of business bas
been left unfinished, and some of it untouch
ed.- The Intelligencer says : " We supposed
tha when this Congress bad voted to its
members liberal fixed salaries it would have
been regarded by them as a point of honor to
give the same faithful attention to the trans
action of th public business as was exhibit
ed by the Fourteenth Congress, when the first
salary compensation was in force ; but never
were hopes mora sadly disappointed.

hXTRA SESSIOU OF THE SENATE.
The Senate re-assembled in Extra Session at
12 o'clock, when the oath was administered to
Mr. Mason by Mr. Pearce, aad the former was
chosen President pro tern. j
Messrs. Bayard, Bright, BrodericR, UamrOn,

and the oath was administered o him, when he
made a few appropriate remarks.

President elct entered the Chambsr, and pro
ceeded with the Senate, the Supreme Cmrt, For
eign Ministers, and others, to the east front of the
Capital, wre the inauguration ceremonies were
conducted. . f
Toe Senate afterwards returned to their Cham
ber, and adjourned till 1 "'clock to-morrow.
House. The House passed the joint resolu
tion from the Senafe, directing appropriate medals
to be presented to Dr. Kane and his Artie com
panions, as a "testimony of the high estimation
in which Congress held their merits and services.
Mr. Aiken offered a resolution that the thanks
of the lloue are due, and are hereby tendered to
Nathaniel P. Banks, fee the impartial and dig
nified manner in which he has discharged his
duties during the present Congress.
Messrs. Craie. Wheeler, and others, objected
to the reception of the0resolution.'
The Speake pro tem, (Mr. Haven,) decided
that the resolution was a question of privilege.
Mr. McMullui said he had voted against Mr.
Banks. There was much in his conduct he could
approve, ana mucn tnat lie was cauea upon 10
coudemn. As one of the representatives from
Virginia, he was not only opposed to the resolu
tion, btit entered bis soimn protest against it.
It came from the last State in the Union that he
should suppose it would come from. lie regret
ted that Mr. Aiken introduced it. It be could
ike back the vote he had given the latter for
Speaker he would do it.
M r. Seward regretted excedmgiy tnat there
iad been any manifestation on this subject, j He
came from the State of Georgia, which occupies
as nroud a position as Virginia, or any other
State. He came here with all hs Southern pre
judices against the occupant of the Chair. ;lle
had witnssm his conduct closely, and sanction
ed it at every step, and must say that he j had
seen as much fairnees in Mr. Banks as in the oc
cupant of the Chair of any Legislative body else
where. He took pleasure, coming tram the outn
as be did. aud differidg from the occupant of the
Cli!ir. to vote for the rsolution, and raise his
voice in doing lustice to a political adversary.
Great confusion j
Mr. Harrii". from Illinois, appealed from the
decision of the Chair, that the resolution was a
privileged question. j
Cnes of "too late. ;
Mr. Harris, loudly maintained that he was not
u to be cut off from obtaining the ncor.
Mr. Houston appealed to gentlemen to vote on
the relution, and not raise points of order.
Mr. Keitt asked Mr. Hams to withdraw his
appeal.
Mr. Hains did so on condition that members
could record thr votes. j
Mr. Barclay ineffectually endeavored to table
the resolution. . j
During the taking of the yeas and nays, Mr.
Walker said that while he was willing to! do an
act of courtesy, he did not thereby endorse the
objectionable principles of the Speaker.
Mr. Barksdale was willing to endorse the re
solution except that part spying that Mr. Banks
had acted impartially. I
The resolution was then adopted yeas, 119 ;
nays, 29. j
The House, amid deafenipg confusion, passed
several compensation resolutions and bills.
Other business was attempted by fifty or more
members. 5 j
The Speaker, at near 12 o'clock, resumed the
chair, and at that hour delivered a brief but elo
quent address, in acknowledgment of the honor
bestowed upon him, and wished all the members
a safe return to their homes. j
The addres was applauded. j
The Speaker then declared the Honse adjourn
