ORIGINAL INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and House of
Representatives =
Having been called by the powerful voice
nl The democratic party, and in pursuan &c ol
its old aud venerable usagcs, to preside IT,
yer the United States, for the term of four
years ensuing, salary 1915, 900 Il year, ]
cannot meet you, gentlemen, without ma
king full and frank disclosure ol those
principles which have always guided me
through life from The first period | lrnndled
To market n wheel barrow with cabbages,
in Kinderhouk, till, now am trundling the
six-and-twcnty cal,bagcs of the Union in n
better market and lnr higher prices. On
many former occasions have indeed been
clear and explicit on these principles, as ii
is my nature always to be ; buI just now
shall be frank and full beyond al lormer
examples.
From the recent expressions oil public D.
piniou, as shown in my election, 1t IS evil
dent 10 all, The sacred and unaIienabe
rights VI the states must be strictly and
carefully guarded. JUDGED thus principle
which we have inherited from Thomas JEFF
ierson, that great Apostle ofdemocracy, is
the sheet anchor Of our Union. Not but
that the Federal Government must also
he preserved in all lis force, SO as to give
consistency TO stale rights. In the south
and southwest, particularly, this doctrine
must be strictly adhered to. In the north,
regular nominations supply the place OF
stale rights, and preserve the asccndancy
of the democratic party without them.
On the subject ol'lhe tariff, let Il, have no
difficulty. have Away been in favor oil a
liiicinns tariff which, for tunately, means
anti-larifi at The sDulh-tarfi'in New Eng.
--anti-tariff in New York cty-Iarih in
pennsylvania and antl-iarilf in the south
west. There is nothing like condor and
simplicity in giving opinions on great pub
lie questions.
Abolition is also very knotiy subject.
Addressing niyselrto the religious voters
of the north, am clearly of opinion thai
the General Government has the right and
authority TO abolish slavery in the District
of Columba--but, looking with The other
eve al the state of our friends al The south,
I am not sure but that if Congress were 10
attempt ii, il would be gross violation OF
the Constitution. ltmghi aud it might
nol--hut until public opinion his develop
ed itself more fully, think our south friends
ought 10 be satisfied with The riots at New
York, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, by
which The property of The blacks was des-
troyed, their lives put in jeopardy, and
their supporters outraged, by the awful en-
ergies and wholesome practices Of The
democratic party. II it is necessary 10
give further satisfaction 10 our friends al
the south before HE next election, we shall
let of few more riots al the north. Du-
ring the ascen.lancy of The democratic par.
~, we have always a liberal stock on hand
and can fully supply any demand.
On the subject of the United States Bank,
there is NJ difficulty. My predecessor has
destroyed. that arisiocralic institution, and
thus cleared away the rubbish tor the crea-
lion OF d new bank, organized on cemo-
cratic principles entirely, and avoiding all
arisiscralc tendencies which the former
had. 1t is no! time yet to begin 10 hatch

democracy to call Tor new United States

would answer our purpose very well.
always have heen, and always will be,
opposed To tie principle Of banking but
haze been favorable 10 the practice. Ii If
only in this way that we can keep up lhc
aSccndancy 1T the democratic plrIy. BanG-
ing OF all kinds paper money of every
form, is unconstitutional and unjust in prin-
cple-bul in practice it can he made ve-
~ useful and convenient Instrument for
keeping The party together, and Tor carry
ing the elections. Gold and silver un-
houbledly are the only constitutional cur
rcncy, but regular democratic currency
is different Thing. Since our late vencr-
able President took me into his counselS,
the principle Of banking has been very cor
recily and properly put down and rcpudia-
Ted, and especially in The case Of the u. :.
Bank but fortunately for The country The
practice has increased, from an aggregate
bank capital in 1880 of $50 millions, TO
500 millions in 1887.
trust we shall continue this course Of
opposition TO banking in principle, but in
lavor Of it in practice. 1t is The only con-
sltutionai or democratic course.
