Yesturday the inauguration of the Honourable James Monroe, as President of the United States. took pl.lee on an elevated portico erected in front of the Capita—The President and Vice• President were escorted by a large cavalcade of Citizens to Congress Hall, where the Ex-Presidtnt, the Supreme Judges, and the Senators, were assemblcd and attended the President to the portico, s►l:etc he delivered the following Speech.:— I should be destitute of feeling if I was not deeply affected by the strong proof which my fellow citizens have given me of their confidence, in calling me to the high office whose functions .T...tut About assume. As the esprersion of their good opinion of my conduct in the pubic service, I d:•rive from it a gratification, which those who are conscious of hav ing done all that they could to merit it, can alone feel. My sensibility is increased by a just estimate of the importance of the trust, and of the nature and extent of its duties ; with the proper discharge of which the highest interests of a great and free people are intimately connected. Conscious of my own de ficiency, I cannot enter on their duties without great anxiety for the result. From a just responsibility will never shrink; calculating with confidence, that in my best efforts to promote the pubic welfare, my motives will always b: duly appreciated, and my Conduct be viewed with that candour and indulgence which I have eiperienced in other onions. " In commencing the duties of the Chief Erects tive office, ;t has been the practice of tli2 distinguish ! eJ men who have gone before me to explain the principles which would govern them in their respec tive administrations. In following their venerated example, my attention is naturally drawn to the great causes which have contributed in a prinrip derree to produce the present happy condition of the United States. They will 'hest eeplain the nature of cur duties, and shed much light on the policy which ought to be pursued in future. " Front the commencement of our revolution to the resent day ; almost forty years have elapsed, and from the establishment of this Coiltitntion twenty tier. Through this whole term the Government has been, what may emphatically be called self-go- vernment ; and ohat has been the effect To what ever object we turn our attention, -.whether it relates to our foreign or domestic concerns, we find abun dant cause to felicitate ourselves in the excellenceof our institutions. During a period fraught with slit ficulties, and marked by very extraordinary events, the United States have flourished beyond example. Thtir citizens, individually, have been happy, and the nation pwsperous. Under this Constitution out commerce has been wisely regulated with foreign na tions, and between the States ; new States have been admitted into our Union ; our territory has been en larged, by fair and honourable treaty, and with great advantage to the original States ; the States,.respec tively, protected by the national Government, under a mild parental system, against foreign dangers, and erjoying within their separate spheres, by W wise p art i t i on of power, a just proportion . of the soie., reignty, have improved their police,•extended their settlements, and attained a strength and maturity, which are the best proofs of wholesome laws, well . administered. And if we look to the condition of hi dividuals, what a proud spectacle does it ezbibit On whom has oppression fallen in any gustier of our Union? Who has been deprived pf any right of per son or property ? Who restrained from offering his vows, in the mode which he prefers, to the Divotsl Airtime of his being! It is well known, that all these blessings have been enjoyeerin their fulle:st extent and I add, with peculiar satisfaction, that there has been no example of a capital punishment bei ng In flicted of any pia for the row of high.tresson. • ! e• Some who might admit the competency of Our Government to these beneffiept eulos. might doubt' at in trials which put to the test its strtngth and effi., agency, as a member of the great community of na tion.• Here, ton, expt.rience has afforded us the most satisfactory Fret in its favour. Just as this Constitution - Was put into action, several of the prin• cipal States of Europe had beenm. e much agitated, and some of them seriously c:::aeula.-.1. I:Let:naive Wars ensued, which have of late wily been term Mated. In the course of these coefl;cts, the United States re. ceived great injury from sever,' of the parties. It Was their interest to stand aloof from the contest—to &•:island justice from the party committing the in. !ury—and to cul.ivate, by fair and honourable con •+uct, the friendship of all. War became st length inevitable, and the result has shewn that our Govern ment is evil' to that, the greatest of trials, under the most unfavourable circumstances. Of the virtue of the people, and of the h:roic exploits of the Army, the Navy, and the Militia, I need not speak. Such, then, is the happy Government under which we live—a Government adequate to every purpose for which the social compact is formed—a Government elective in all its branches, under wild' every citizen may, by his merit, obtain the highest oust recognized by the Constitution—which contains wilin it no cause of discord—none to put at vatianee cue portion of the community with another—a Government which pro tects every citizen in the full enjoyment ;,f his rights, and is able to yrotect the nation against injustice Isom Foreign Powers. " Other considerations of the highest importance admonish us to cherish our union, and to cling to the Government which supports it. Fortunate as we are in our political institutions, we have not been less so in other circumstances, on which our prosperity and happiness essentially depend. Situated within the tem perate zone, and extending through many degrees of latitude along the Atlantic, the United States enjoy all the, varieties of climate, and every protltrcti•3n in. cithnt to that portion of the globe. Penetrating in ternally, to the great lakes, ;red beyond the sources of tl4 great rivers which communicate through our wh 1. iuterior, no country was 'ever happier with re. yea to its domain. Blessed too with a lettiie our produce has always beeu very abund.m, leaving, even in yews the least favourable, a surplus for the wants of our kllow-men in ether countries: Sach is our peculiar felicity, that there is not a part of.-our Union that is not particularly ioterested in preservis.g at. The great agricultural interest of the it ttion prospers under its protection. Local interests are not less festered by it. Our fsliow citizens of Cre North, engaged in navigation, find great encouragement in being made the favoured carr:•rs of the vast produc tions of the other portions of the United States, the inhabitants of these are amply recompensed, in their turn, by the nursery for seamen and naval force, thus formed and rtiared ns for the support of our common lights. Our manufactures find a generenis encouragement by the policy Which pa:ronizes du-. mestic industry ; and the surplus of our produce, a steady and profitable market by I,:cal wants, in less ' favoured parts, at hone. CI Snell, then, bring the highly favoured condition of cow country, it is the interest of every citizen to maintain it. What are the dangtss which menace us It any exit, they oiliait to be ascertained and gtiar.M.l..tg %inst. la explaining my sentiments pn this suhpet,• it may be asked * what raised.us to the present happy state ? • How did we accomplish the revolution ? How remedy the dofects of the titst in strument of our union, by infusing into the national government sufficient power for national purposes, t,itliout impairing the jost rights of the States, or of fecting those of individuals ? How sustain, and pass with glory through the late war? The government has been in the hands of the people. To the people, therefore, and to the faithful and able depositories of their trust, is the credit due. Had the people of the United States been educated in different principles; had they been less intelligent, loss independent, or less virtuous, can it be believal that we should have maintained the same steady and consistent career, or been blessed With the same success ? While, then, the Constituent body retains its present sound and healthful state, every tbing_will be safe. They will choose competent and faithful representatives for !very department. It is only when the people be. "come ignorant and corrupt—when they degenerate into a populace, that they.art incapable of exercising the Sovereignty. Usurpation is then an easy attain. ment, and an usurper seen found. The people them : . eelvei beCospe the willing insuumerit of their own de basement and ruin. Let us then look to the gteat cause, and endeavour to preserve it in full feree. Let us,*by ail wise and menstitution.il measures, promote intelligence among the people , a s th e b est means o f preserving our liberties. if`Dangers,front abroad are not less deserving of attention. Esperiencing the fortune of other nations, the United Statcs may be again involved in war, and it rosy, in that event, be the object of the adverse, party to overset our Government, to break our , Union, and demolish us as a nation. Our distance from Europe, and the just, moderate, and paciSc policy of our Government, may form zrme security against these dangers, but they Ought to be anticipn led'and guarded against. Many of our citizens ate engaged in commerce and nikvigation, and all of theist are, in a eertaior degree, •dependent on that peospesou, State ! Many are tileitid in the fssbctiess These interests are exposed to invasion in Vie w. between other Powers, and we should dieter:3..l faithful admonition of experience if we did rim ‘.l pee t it.
