pR05f ECTtTS FOR THE 'SECOND YEAR.
At the close of his second volume,
magazine haying been commenced on the
first nt Jannarir, 1844. the nuousner nnus
himself irresistibly called on to express
satisfaction and gratitude with which
has been filled by the brilliant and un.ex-
-.- r z . i
ampled success.that has attendea nis enciea
vors to win the public favor, Noiwlth
standing the difficulties, disappotntrndnts
and vexations that almost invartaniy. jtoi
lo the establishment of a new periodical.
in tb-fvpiflir-tinh hf which ' theremut be
the harmonious co operation of , mjniy
heads and many hands-not wit hstancfing
occasionally short-comings, especially i n
the pictorial department, which no care or
diligence could avert and no expenuiiure
prevent, the Columbian Magazine' hs one
; on steadily increasing in support and pop
ularity from the opening number, and
, the unbought unsolicited testimony H)t
press may be received, as unswayed
partiality and unbiassed by friendship,
efforts of contributors and editor have been
. satisfactory to the public ana accepted as
fulfilling the nroniises made for them at
J f- , . 1
the commencement of the enterprise. x
The publisher undertook, the work with
a firm conviction that the great city of
New York was the best and the true home
for a magazine of general literature; that
notwithstanding theifailure of many previ
ous attempts to establish such a work, there
could be no' impossibility f success1 with
sufficient! capital,- perseverance and the
right system of management both by pub
lisher and editor; stimulated by this con
viction he embarked in the enterprise land
he result of the first year has proved that
his judgment was correct.
It has long ceased to be necessary, or
reasonable, that we should speak of the
Columbian as an experiment. At all
events, it is now an experiment substr nti-
ally tried. We feel ourselves upon as
a basis as any similar journal. in the wc
Our principle cares now regard n.)l
much the securing what ground we Have
gained, (for we consider this sufiicifptly
secure) as the extension of our spher; of
action and utility not so much, eveiij the
mere enlargement of our subscription list,
as the most suitable modes -of catering for
the amusement (and shall we say. occasion
ally for the profit?) of our subscribers in
the present and in the futuie the it any
whom we have and the many? more we
shall undoubtedly have as lime rolls or.
We have made airan5ments which will
enableus to present our fi ienls with em
bellishments of jvery superior taste, stvle
and finish. In this respect it is our pm
purpose, if possible, to outvie all - competi
tion. Our music and eh ravings, we 3on
fidehtly -believe! will not be equ illed very
certainly they shall not be surpassed'. in
reat merit uy those ot any other maga
zine. We propose to give each mouth
I
' two or more superb engravings, indepen
dently of two pages of music, by the most

With the aid of these contributors, (ol
whom it is needless to say one word in the
way of commendation.) and of numerous
others perhaps equally meritorious if less
Celebrated, who have promised us their
support, we flatter ourselves that, as a liter
ary work, the Columbian need be under no
apprehension of being excelled.
But what we .have' done is already be
fore the public, who will not fail to Judge
us with impartiality ; and in respect to what
we intend to do, it will be both wiser and
more becoming (altho' less fashionable) not
to boast. We may he permitted' to assure
our fi iends in brief, hovever, that we have
matured numerous plans (for the third vol
ume) with which we ftel confident they will
be pleased. It is. -our purpose to put forth
every energy; and it will be no fault of bur
own if the Columbian shall not be found at
least ' equal to any magazine, of any class
or price, in America.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
(continued from last No.)
The republic of Texas has made known
her desire to come into our Union, to form
a part of our confederacy and enjoy with us
the blessings of liberty secured and guaran
tied by our constitution. Texas was jonce
a part of our country --was unwisely cjsded
away to a foreign power is now indepen
dent, and possesses an undoubted right to
dispose of a part or the whole of her territo
ry, and to merge her sovereignty, as a! sep
arate and independent State, in ours. I con
gratulate rrry country, that, by an act of the
late Congress of the United States, ih as
sent of thejgovernment has been given to
the reunion; and it only remains for' the
two countries to agree upon the terms to
consummate an object so important to both.
I regard the question of1 annexation as
belonging exclusively to the United States
and Texas. They are independent powers,
competent to contract; and foreign naioris
have no right to interfere wiilt, or to take
exceptions to their reunion. Foreign pow
ers do net seem to appreciate the true
characier of our government. Our,. Union
is a confederation of independent States,
whose policy is peace with each other and
all the world. To enlarge its limits, is to
extend the dominion of peace over addi
tional territories and increasing millions.
The world has nothing to fear from milita
ry ambition in our covernmentT While
the chief magistrate and the popular branch
of Congress are elected for short terms by
the suffrages of these miilions who must,
in their own persons, bear all the burdens
and miseries of war, our Government can
not be otherwise than pacific. Foreign
powers should, therefore, look on the
annexation of Texas to the United States,
not-as the conquest of a nation seeking
to extend her dominions by arms and vio
lence, but as the peaceful acquisition of a ter
ritory once hers, by adding another member
to our confederation, with the Consent of
that member thereby diminishing the
chances of war, & opening to them new &
ever-increasing markets for their products.
- To Texas the reunion is important, be
cause the strong protecting arni of our gov
ernment would be extended ojer her, and
the vast resources ol her fertile soil and ge
nial climate would bg speedily developed;
while the safety of New Orleans and of our
whole southwestern frontier against hostile
aggression, as well as the interests of the
whole Union, would be promoted by iti
In the earlier stages of our national exist
ence the opinion prevailed with some that
our system of confederated States could not
operate successfully over an extended ter
ritory, and serious, objections have Vat dif
ferent times been made to the enlargement
of our 'boundaries. These objections
were earnestly urged when We acquired
Louisiana. Experience has shown that
they were not well founded. The title of
numerous Indian tribes to vast tracts of
country has' been exiinguised. New States
have been admitted into the Union. New
Territories have been created and our iu-

As our population has expanded, the Union
has been cemented and strenghtehed
As our boundaries have been enlarged, and
our agricultural population has been spread
over a large suf face our federative system
has acquired additional strength and se
curity. It may well be doubted whether
it would not be in greater danger of over
throw if our present population were con
fined to the comparatively narrow limits
of the originally thirteen States, than it is
now that they are sparsely settled ovet a
more expanded territory. It is confidently
bene veu mat our system may besateiy ex
tended to the utmost bounds of. our terri
toriat limits, and that as it shall be exten
ded, the .bonds of ooc Unionso far from
being weakened, "will becoihe stronger.
None can fail to see the danger to our
saiey ana tuiure peace, n i .exas remains
an independent State, or becomes an ally
or dependency of ssme foreign nation more
powerful than herself. Ts there one
among our citizens who Would not prefer
perpetual peace with Texas tbocoasiorial
wars. which so often occur bet weenr border
ing independent riaiiohs? .Is there otlewho
would not prefer free intercourse withV0er
to high duties on all our proJus and : raan
ufactures which enter her pofTso r 'cross
her frontiers? " Is there one viVhoiq;dd
not prefer an- unrestricted communication
with her .citizens,' to the frpntUrftobstrul
tions which must occur if she, remains out
of the Union? . Whatever is good or e Vj I
in t he local institutions oflexwijlre j

UnitelSialerlr rTot None of Jhe present
States will be responsive for thnV "ahy
re-annexation of Texas to our Union at the
earliest practicable period.
Nor will it become-in a les degree my
duty to assert aud maintain bv all constitu

to that portion of our territory - which
lies beyond - rive -Rocky' M ou,n tains.
Our title to tl.e country of the Oregon is
clear and s uiiquestionable" and alrealy
are our people, preparing tot perfect that
title by occupying it wiin thetr wjves'frid:

some of my hearers our people inere;s

benefits of our republican institutions
should be extended over the in in the dis

which the formation in that part of our ter
ritory cannot be -long .'delayed' within tin
sphere of our federative Union In. the

treaty or conventional supujations sjiould
be sacredly respected. '
; In the management of our foreign rela

ful respect for the rights .of-Other nations
while our own will be the subject' of -con
stant' watchfulness. kqual and exact
justice should .characterize, all our inter

fare and honor of our counlr v , or sacrifice
any one of the national intt rt stf, will be
sludiouly avoided; and yet no opportu
nity will be lost , to cultivateta favorable
understanding with foieign Governments
by which our navigation and commerce
may be extended and the ample products
of our fertile soil, as Aell as the inanufac
