Tayioa, Preaidrni elect of Ihe United State,
delivered to the Senate, and Member or ihe
lions of Represeniattvee of IheUti ted States,
anA thousand of Meembled citxena, in front
ot Hie Capitol, the following Ihauciial Ad
umsr - - '
, Klocted by the American People o It high
a) office known lo our law, I appear here to
take ihe Oath prescribed bflhr Constitution;
and, in compliance with a time honored cus
tom, to address those who are now assembled.
The Confidence and tespeci shown by my
countrymen in calling mn lo be the Chief Maj
' ignite of Republic holding a high rank a
in on 3 the notions of the north, have inspired mn
with (Valines cf the most profound srsti'ude;
but, w hen 1 tefbict that the acceptance of the
Ifice which their partiality has bestowed Inv
putrs the discharge of the nin.t arduous duties,
nri involve" the weightiest .obligation-," 1 tuii
conscious that the position I hare been called tn
till, though ufn!ient to satisfy the lcf'iesi
nmbitinn, i sutroundcd by fearful reapnnm'liili
lies. Happily, however, in the performance uf
my new duties, I ha)l not be without able cm
operation. The' Legislative and. Judicial
jrsniM of h-Oo!eiflent present prominent
examples of distinguished civil attainments and
matured experience; and it shall he my endea
vor to call to my assistance in .the Executive
jjepartment individual whose ulcnts integrity
riiJ purity of character, will furuish ample
'"tiSMfiteerfiW ftrtf1aTthftrt!md"h'jrirtfre-petfirr-mance
of Hie trusts to be pnmmitted lo their
charge. With pitch aid', and an honest purpose
tn Ho whatever is righ I hope lo execute di'i'
aentlv. iiniiaiiiully, and for the best inter
nets of the country, ibe manifold! duties devoir
ed upon me.
In the discharge ol these duties, my guide
will h llld Consliluli'n, which -1 tiri d.iy
swear to "'preserve, protect, ami defend." For
the interpretation of ihat instrument I shall look
tn the drtcision-i of lie Judicial Trihunals estab
lished by it authority, and to thu practice of
(he Govern -went under the earlier Presidents,
who had so latfe a share in its formation. To
the example of those illustrious patriots t 'Kali
always defer with roverence; end especially to
his example who was, by so many titles, "the
l o command Hie Army and Navy or the
United States; with the advice and consent of
tbe Senate, lo make .Treaties and to appoint
Ambassador and other Offieerst to- give lo
Congress information of the stale of the Union
and recommend such measure as be shall
tod?;e to beneceBiaryi and retake cimtiiirTttff
laws shall be faithfully executed thee are
the most important functions entrusted to the
President by the Constitution! and it may bo
Hteetnd that rshnll, briefly, Indicate the prin.
ciples which will control me in their execu
tion. 0 Chesen by tbe body of the People under the
the assurance that my administration would be
devoted to the welfare of lb whole country,
and not to thp support of any particular section
or merely local interest. I this day renew the
doclsmtio I haw htof roadaand proclaim
my fixed doterminatiea maintain, to the ex
tent of my ability, the Government in its origi
nal purity, and lo adopt as the busi of my pub
lie policy those freat republican doctrines
which constitute tbe tretrgth of out national ex
istence. In reference to tVe ktmj and Navy, lately
" employed wiltt o much distinction on active
service, care shall be triken to entuie the high
est condition of efficiency; and, in furtherance of
thai object, Ibe mil harry and naval school- sus
tained by the liberality of Congress, shall re
ceive the special attention of Ibe Executive. ,
A American freemen, we cannot but sympa-
"Thrtsln att effort eiteftd- tlielesslng of ei
tiI and political liberty; but at the same time,
we warned by the admonitions of His'ory
and ih Volte eT etr own beloved Washington
io ib slain from enlanglingjlliance witji for
eign nariont.' In all dispute between conflict
ing Govetments It I onr interest ""hat lea than
out Holy tofemnin strictly neutral; while our geo
graphical pesisiormbe genius of our , insiiiutiona
end ear peef bs the advancing spirit of iviliia
tioa, and, aaev all, the dictate of religion, di-
" ws-thwilivation of psaeeWl-aoAfiiMidly
TelatisO with all other powers. It is to b
doped that no international question can now a
rise which a Government, confident in its own
strengkth, and resolved to protect its own just,
rights, may not settle by wiae negotation; and
it eminently become a Government like nur
own, founded en the morality and intelligence
of its citixns, and upheld by their alTeclions, to
eihaust every resottef honorable diplomacy be
fore appealing to amis In the conduct of nur
frnign relHtinns I shall conform to these
.views, as I bflieve thern essential to
the best interests and the true honor of the coun
try.
The appointing piwer vested in the Preti lent
imposes delioate and Mieroiudutic. So far as
it is possible to be informed, i shall make hon
esty, capacity, and fidelity indispensable pre.
-retruifites-to the bestowal of office, and tbe ab
sence of either of these qualities shall be deem
ed sufficient eause for retrieval- - , ,
It shall be in y. study to rerommned audi con '
stitutional measures to Congress as may be
flaeesaary and proper to secure tnconngement
and prelection to the great interest of Agrieu!
tire, Commerco, and Manqfacltires; to improve
our rivers and harbors; to .provide for the pee
ly extingaiahnient of the public debt; to en
force a triet aeeonniabilitj on the part of all
officers of the Government, and the utmost eco
nomy in all pnblio expenditure. But it is for
'the wisdom of Congreso itself, In which all leg-i-dtive
powers are rested by dm Coustitotita
lion to reguUt-these and oilierfnittrs of policy
I sliall took with confidence to the enlightened
patriotism of that body to adopt turb neat,
uret of coniliation as may barmoniz conflicting
interest , and tend to perpetual tliil Union
which should be the paramount object of our
It'ipe amrafToctinns. In any action calculated
to promote an object so near the hrt of every
as wb truly love hi country, I will sealou
Iv nniui with the coordinate brsnche of the
4S Vf rnmeiii. - - ; . ,
lo conclusion, i congratulate you, my fellow
itien. upon the high slate of prosperity to
which the c KHlnets of Divine P.ovidence has
oaducted our cominen country Lit a invoke

OYSTER WAU.
'We lefirrt from a gentleman just arrived
from the Kastcrn Shore of Virginia that a e;i,
os collision look plaee, a few day" nincey'in
the neigh horhond of llnunmonqtown, between
the citizens of Ihat section and a numhe'r nf de
predatorii from Phila'delphia; The facts, as
we learn them, are these; A fleet cf some
twenty boat from Philadelphia recently enter,
ed ihat quarter of tbe Bav and commenced ta
king oysters lrom the Virginia bank with
known laws of the State, which prohibit that
mode of taking oysters, under a penalty of 250
am' iu open defiance of her local authorities.
The people whe rights were bn invaded d
lerminetl finally lo take the matter in iheir own
hands, and to drijre Ihematauiler frnrn their
shores or atil ilie autfiorrities in arresting them.
Aecordingly, fivo small boa's were manned and
armed with two pieces of cannon; thus prepar,
ed the Virginians came upon the Philadelphia
fleet, and an engigement ensued, in which one
oyster Bian Wjs kitted arid a mast or one
of their schooners cut away by i'cannon shot.
The fleet was. then driven into lb mouth nfa
creek where the Virginians succeeded . in taking
ninety of the party prisonem, whom they eon.
veyed to Urummondtawn, tn Accomae county,
where they were lodged inj iil. By some in
(ormaty in the origrni"WBTrant the legal pro
ceedtngs were quashed, but ibe migislrales
had issued a new process, and strenuous effort
were making to bring the sggresors to jnstire.
In the conise of the skirmish one of the Virgin
ian was shot, the ball entering near the month
and coming at the side of the head, carrying a
way one of his ears. Out-informant state
that great excitement prevailed throughout the
neighborhood of Drummondtown.
Thil is but one of many shameful outrages
that have been perpetrated in the water of the
Chesapeake bay, and it is time that some steps
should be taken to prevent their reaarrenen.
Unless a stop can be put to the vicious practice
of dredging tbe -eyer bnk the Bay, the
most vain ililn in the Union, they will be
rendered worthless in iho cume of a few year.
The organization f a marine - yoiiee- with a
small steamer to cruise in the Uay, would not
only prevent the detruclion of the oyster fish'
eriea, but would Ub prevent the occurence of
such scenes a the one we have jura recorded.

. . A .Mc. itolijoho, iir N.. York, has inrealed
an aerial steamer, which tbu Sun describes as
follows:
The model i comer wa eleven feel and a

with a saloon three feet by four inches. It is
composed of two part llie upper portion is the
'fluat' or 'balloon,' limit in the form of a cigar
underneath this iatlte saloon or 'boat,' for con
veying passengers, fuel; the steam engine,' be,
Between Ihe float and saloons are two large
propellers, something in ih form of Ihe wheel
of a windmill. The two propeller are so eon.
s'rucled so ss lo act upon the air in ih same
manner Ihat a or w propeller set upon the wa
ter. The air propeller, like ibe water-propyl
ler, i driven by a steam engine. The weight
of the jErial Steamer is supported in the at
mosphere by ihe bnrvant power ol hydrogen
gas, with which Hi float i inflated. On be
ing inflated anil sVt in motion, Ihe little steam
er flew tapully rmmd the hall in every direc
