MONDAY MORNING, MARCH o. 1870.

The Iaauyvsai address.-The inaugural speech
Of President jackson has, as might have been anti
cpated, given riso to diversified commentaries as
Che Intellectual optics of men, aud the previous cst
nnatoa they had formed Of his character, and expec
tatcn Of the line Of policy he would chalk on, for
himself were various. We have avaited few DAYS,
bet6re we Expressed our ovn opinions upon his mes
sage, in order to SEQ HOY farour first impressions of
It's character would be strengthened weakened By
the conclusions around us; and we have no hcsita-
tfon IN saying, that the pervoding sentiment dsap-
poins"cnt or rpncthing of still moro decisive ma
turc' The friends Of the Tariff ore not satisfied
inc enemies ore not neutrality-suspicious. are satisfied
besausc parrzans determined always TO be salts
ned. The state right zealot thinks he sees in this
chart OF the Presidents course, evidence of his at
tachmvnt to nmitaranis, because the aforesaid yea
ion wishes to see something that shall atone to his
own conscience, for his abandonment of his own prin-
clpics in the support he gave the man who had in
cted more insults the rights of the states than all
others United. Pho Jackson zcalot is delighted with
every Thing that fds from the lips Of his idol and is
particularly pleused with the kick bestowed upon the
lead lion. Like the sweet youth in love, the reui
Jackson man has much as ,agined il possi
mo for hrs adored to have fault. To expect him
70 admit an mperection, and not zeolousy to main
tim, that the inaugural does not contain a word
oght not to rontoin, ond has not every word in it
nght TO have, would be unreasonable as to hone to
cDnvincc the aforesaid youth love- that his mistresss
eyes wcrc not the very prctticst in the whole world.
Tut there Is largo class who are not partizans, and
this class rs every day gaining accession of strength
from the rational in the Jackson ranks--rnen who
hat they We're Jacksonians ever must be ascrbed to
sme accident oflocality, association interest or i'm
Tssination. Phese are every dsy coming out from
dinong your real Jacksoniaus Your noisy and haw
ing suPp'rters Of the bero-vho originally support
iIg INN Without reason cannot be expected to aban
"oh nun FOR one fhe more rational class of Jack
soiians and the rejecting of all parties are dissas-
lHd With the inaugural speech They see in it, no
comciuslve evidence whatever Of the Presidents
opimons upon the great subjects Of policy which aei-
lHte the u. States They acknowledge it to be
continuation OF the artful and Jcsuitcal spirit which
d'etatcd the Tariff letters to Dr.. Coleman and 10
''ov. Ray, and which were rewarded With the unde
served success of attaching to the interests of the
writer States the most opposite in interest and ind-
yiduais The most opposed in opinion. From the
cpnyufaiuars which have followed the s1itation
Of the great questions of n protecting ga
NIP and Of Internal Improvc1ucn,s--ffom tbc
nenacing attitude which these questions have as
s-ined towards the permanency fthe Union aud Of
tranquility, il ardently hoped by those who low
cd their country, that Con. Jncksun would PROMPTLY
u,d decfsiveIy, throw himself into one or the other
scale, and bring the mighty weight Of his popularity
70 termi. the contest forever AID to moderate the
Victorious party, bride the refractory, and tranquil
20 the whole. How have these generous hopes |
hccn mcc BY message studiously equivocal- |
dealing in uumeaning gencratics-oauliously word. !
I'd to leave back door open for retreat in any omer
g:ncy occasioned by future party divislons-No man
cln confidently shy, such Is its iesuitical ability
that Sen. Jacksons opinions are, upon those aucs-
ions which have distracted, and from the uncortain
" attending this message, will continue to district
ttc country. Both parties find food for hope, and
18th parties end reason to consider him inimcal 10
rrir interests. Was this tho course to have been
"ypccted from tho unpromeditoteh galIantry of the
Older and the magnonlmity Of the IIero' Could
we have exPErted this iesuitism from him who
as Affected TO soon Nil political eoucaalmenis md TO
wear hts opinions HIS sleeve, for DAVIS to peck at
surely, his modest expostions Of bis own character
md the Pancgyrics Of his doIatcrs, pointed TO a
tonrse, more cxpcdent, manly and honourablc-
w hatever displays ofignoranco and presumption yo
expected from Gen. Jackson, vhcn popular will had
rffhcd him with the supreme powcr, even re cxpec
I'D, That the errors Of temper and of education would
"a partially redeemed by manly ffankness, and gen
cFons disregard Of consequence. We certainly no
v y expected To SEC The Hero converted into 10y
ola.
We consider IL q ua,fdnai calamity that Generai
3SckSnn has bcen influenced, either by his own con-
alterations Of prudence, by the cunning OF biz
bnsom coonss'ors>-tDen who vaiuly hope by ,l6s

'ncir own future advancement, tho great popularity
winch enabled Gen. Jackson to chain to his car.
Ike Po'npey in hts triumph, people Of all nations, Co
