OUR COUNTRYMEN ABROAD.
The following just tribute TO the people of this
country appears i'm an article of the Paris Cons,i-
tutionnel, relative to the United States:
I" There is not city 40 small that il has not its
printing Office and its Journal or hamlet so OBJ
scure that the light Of the periodical press does not
penetrate il. foreigner is surprised 10 hear com.
mon farmers debate, with perfect knowledge of
men and things, not only upon the affairs of their
own country, but even upon the political events of
which Europe is the theatre. There is more good
sense, more sound ideas upon civilization in a
Lighthouse in the United States, than in our most
brilliant saloons, and even our academies"
THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
twill be gratifying to Ill the true Republicans
OF the United States, to know how well this docu-
nent has been received in England. The follow
ing is from London Journal Of the 18th April
The Transatlantic news OF the week is not I'M
interesting; we have been favored for instance,
with the inaugural address Of the new President
of the United States, Gen. jackson. 1t is re-
,narksble for its calm, moderate, and republican
tone fer the total absence of that soldierly hauteu
which had been so freely anticipated. Peace,
economy, the extinction of all public. debt, with
pure constitutional government, held out as
the chief objects OF his administration; and lit
tie OF military spirit is exhibited in this primary
delivery, he even formally advocates the sufficen-
cy OF the naval force, arsenas and Notifications,
Tor the defence oil the country, without any in
crease of the army at ALL Much curiosity exists
as to his views of the expediency of The lately
adopted Tariff; in respect to which both its friends
and enemies think they can discover some inten-
lions in their favor. On the whole the new Presi-
dent commences his high office with considerable
ecidf and with tide of popularity in his favor
which is almost without example. ~. s. Tel.
THE PREsIDENT.-lt is gratifying to find, that
notwithstanding the vituperalion whsh in our own
land has been favishly heaped upon the inaugural
address of our present national chief ma gistrate
there are those i'll other countries-n countries
too, where we should least expect the exercise
OF any thing like magnanmty towards the con-
queror OF their own veerans-who are disposed
TO do justice in the premises, and who have even
spoken Of that document in spirit of unbiased
appreciation. We may indeed indulge in an honest
feeling OF pride, when the testimony of impartial
and candid observers is thus voluntarily rendered
when we are supplied without solicitation from
quarters whence we might reasonably expect
more displays of scorn, and hatred even, than we
could look for at bome-when we receive compl-
ments and congratulations, instead of those contu-
melious SCOTS which selfish considerations and ma.
tional antipathies might naturally have excited
We therefore take much pleasure in copying the
annexed paragraphs from late London paper-the
Morning Herald
We have copied the entire article, partly as a
matter Of curosity.-I II will be perceived that the
speculations OF the London editor touching the
Presidents sentiments in regard TO the tariff are
thrown out merely at random; and that his re-
marks respecting Mr.. TaZewel, are in more
senses than one, founded in pure mistake But
the contrast drawn between the state papers of the
last and Of the present administrations we are per.
| suaded, will be acknowledged by disinterested
men as perfectly fair and just, so far as such com
parson may yet be practic be-nor do we doubt
that future history will fully sanction the opinion
herein expressed on this point BOst. Bulletin.
General Jackson's Inaugural Address, on being
sworn into office, is by far the best State Paper
which America has produced for several years.
The writer OF this article has seen little in the
conduct oil the General 10 praise; and, therefore
ne considers his election to the Presidency as not
at all desirable. We are induced, however from
| the straight forward kind of conduct which he has
evnced since his election, to hope better things
| from him than the ruffansm which il was said
was attached to his character, induced us to anti
cipate. His inaugural Address, as il is called is
really an able document; it is short, and TO the
purpose. Ii appears to us not to contain word
| too much or word too little and it furnishes a
pleasing contrast to the inane, inaccurate, and
| long winded messages Of that great master of
not explicitly declare his opinion with regard to
the Tariff; but we think that the inference to be
drawn from his Address, is, that he is favorable 10
1t, He talks about not confouDdiBg the powers
which the different States have reserved TO them
selves, with those they have granted to the Con-
federacy; and as the Southern States alege that
the Tariff does do this, it may be thought that he
is opposed to it; but then, Immediately after this
ne ADDS the following paragraphs
"WIth regard to proper selection OF the sub
jects of impost, with view to revenue, il would
seem to me that the spirit of equity caution and
compromise in which the Constitution was form
cd, requires that the great interests of sgricul-
ture, commerce, and manufactures, should be
equally favored; and that the only execution of
the rule should consist in the peculiar encourage
nent of any products of either of them that Daau
De found essential TO our national independence
IL is evident, from the passage printed in Italics,
that Jackson is of opinion the Congress bad the
right of imposing duties for the protection of man.
ufactures, which the Anti-Tarif people deny
Many Americans in London say, that the new
Cabinet is very inefficient one. 1t should be
recoected, however, that the same thing was
said oil the Duke of WelngtoD's Cabinet. The
Vice President, the Attorney General, and the
Postmaster, form part Of the new American Cab
met. This fact is remarkable, inasnucb as the
holders of these Offices have never before been
Cabinet Ministers. Mr.. TazeweIl, who is to be
sent to England, is the author Of an able pamphlet
against the Tariff and in favour OF the measures Of
our Government; so that, in his capacity of A.
merican Minister, he will be obliged 10 change
sides But in these trimming times, this will not
operate to his disadvantage.
