SPEECH.

WARRINGTON, nlarcn 4th, 1913.
At l2 O'clock this Jay, JAMES MADI-
SON, the President of the u. States elect
having attended at the Capitol for the pur-
pose Of taking the oath Of Office, delivered
to the vast concourse of people asse mbled
on the occasion, the following
SPEECH.
About to add the solemnity of an oath
to the obligations imposed by second call
to the station in which my country hereto
fore placed me, find, in the presence of
this respectable assembly, an opportunity
of publicly repeating my profound sense Of
so distinguished a confidence, and of the
responsibility united with it. The impress
sions on me are strengthened hv such an
evidence, that my faithful enGeavorsto dis
charge my arduous duties have been favor
ably estimated and by consideration of
the momentous period at which the trust
has been renewed From the weight and
magnitude now belonging to it, | should
be compelled to shrink, it had less reli-
anee on the support of an enlightened and
generous people, and felt less dee ply q con-
viction, that the war with a powerful ma :
ton, which forms so prominent q feature
w O"h SiSuosioit, - cSAuipcu WITH llaI JuS-
tice which invites the smiles of heaven on
the means of conducting it to successful
termination.
May we not cherish this sentiment with
out presumption, when we reflect on the
characteristics by which this war is distin-
guished?
1t was not declared on the part of the u
States until it had been long made on them,
In reality, though not in name; until arga-
ments and representations had been exhaust
ed; until positive declaration had been
received, that the wrongs provoking it
would not be discontinued; nor until this
last appeal could no longer be delayed,
without breaking down the spirit of the
nation, destroying all confidence in itself
and in its political institutions; and either
perpetuating state of disgraceful suffer
ing, or regaining, by more costly sacrifices
ana more severe struggles, our lost rank
and respect among independent powers.
On the issue Of the war are staked our
national sovereignty on the high seas and
the security of an important class of citi-
zens, whose occupations give the proper
value to those of every other class. Not to
contend for such stake. is to surrender
our equality with other powers, on the ele-
ment common to all and to violate the
sacred title, which every ember Of the

they have appeared to US respectively,
causes of irritation have occurred, let us
consign them to oblivion, and let Us in the
painful separation which is about to ensue.
perhaps for ever, cherish and cultivate a
recollection only of the many agreeable
hours we have spent together. Allow me,
gentlemen, to express the fervent wish that
Que and all of you may enjoy all possible
individual happiness, and that in the return
to your several homes YOU may have plea

A bill from the Senate to encourage the
destruction of the armed vessels of war of
the enemy, passed through committee of
the whole house, and was ordered to a third
reading-Yeas So, Nays IS. The bill was
subsequently read a third time and passed
On motion of Mr.. Dawson, il was order
ed that committee be appointed Jointly
with committee of the senate, to wait on
the president, and inform him that the two
houses are about to adjourn, and desire to
know whether he has any further comma
nication to lay before them at the present
session.
Mr.. Bigelow offered resolution calling
on the Secretary of the Treasury to lay be-
fore <he next Congress statement OF the
amount and species of taxes levied on a
former occasion, in each state--the manner
in which the same had been paid, and ge-
nerally every thing which related to that
subject
The question on considering the resolu-
ton, was decided by ayes and noes, and
carried
An animated debate arose on adopting it,
in which those opposed to the passage de-
clared it was intended to be used as an cleo
pioneering engine, and for the purpose OF
fomenting distrust and discord between the
Northern and Eastern and Southern and
Western sections Of this country lit is
pretty we'll understood that large amount
of the direct and other taxes remain to this
day unpaid by some of the Southern and
Western Statesl The advocates Of the re-
solution, did it on the ground that it was a
necessary article of information which the
next congress ought to possess for their go
vernment in laying the taxes which it was
admitted on all hands must be imposed at
tho May session. Various efforts were made
to get rid of it, and it was finally laid on
the table.
For some time quorum was not present
Bills from the senate were waiting-a
call of the house was had, and it appeared
| that 6i members only were present
After receiving from the president all the
bills which had passed, and being informed
by the committee that be had no further
communications to make, the house adj
| journed sine die.
