~ We give below the Inaugural Address Of
WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, President of the
United States-a document which, setting forth
as il does the groundwork and principles Of the
new Administration, ought to be, and doubtless
will be. read carefully by every American cti-
zen. This Address was evidently written by
the President himself-and it does honor to his
head and his heart. There is nothing Of a non
committal character in the address-but the
views Of the writer are placed before the public,
as il were, in bold relief-and she who runs NAV
read" and he who reads may understand. II is
sensible, plain document-wrtten in style
of classicpurity from all " distractions
and such as Republican President might be
expected TO lay before free and enlightened
people. The whole tenor Of the address shows
that General Harrison will seek, not to increase
Executive power, but to perpetuate power in
the peope-that he will be President of the
whole nation, not the leader of a political party.
In a word, this address contains the best expo
sition of true democratic principles which has
emanated from any President Of the United
States since the days Of Washington. Boston

It's distinguished author-worthy of the honored
instrument, whom the People have selected 10
reform abuses and restore the Republic TO its
original purity. II breathes throughout a lofty
spirit of patriotism, benignity, and wisdom,
which must challenge the admiration Of all good
men, and which demonstrates that il could ema

win the conviction that its author is an honest
anu good mana jealous patriot-deeply and
ssingy devoted TO the happiness and welfare of
MS country. An almost equally unanimous
commentator must be bestowed upon the great
cardinal principles which peryade it-principles
which he at the base Of all free Governments,
and the cherishing Of which is absolutely essen

lures, Republican, after the good old State

wholesome jealousy Of the dangerous tendencies
OF Executive power which distinguishes the no.
BILE old Anti Federalists of the elder day. We
rejoice, with an exceeding great JOY, that at last
we have obtained Chief Magistrate who will
exert the vast authority placed at his disposal,
to curb and restrain that mighty power within
limits compatible with civil liberty. Chief
Magistrate, thus voluntarily dvesiing himself
OF power and patronage, which possess such
charpas for the common run Of mankind, pre-
sents sublime moral spectacle to the contem-
plation Of mankind
For the present, we have not space to say

will respond to the lessons of wisdom, modera-

And flew like Time away,

And plead with his bright, expressive look,

And left me desolate and lone

The editor of the Liverpool (Eng.) Mercury
relates the following anecdote from his own ex-
perience, as practical illustration of the good
effects likely to result from accustoming youth of
different religious creeds to operate together in
the same school:
aThe boarding school at which we passed
several wears of our youth was kept by clergy
man OF the Church of England, and all the
scholars, with the exception of one, were Protes-
tants that one was Catholic, and sad life
the poor lad had Of it for some time after his in
PRODUCTION amongst us, as we had, by some
means or other, imbibed a strong aversion for
Popery, and dread and hatred for Catholics, or
Rednecks, as we used to call them-why or
wherefore we knew not. We had read some
thing about these Catholics having burned Pro
testants, but we had not heard a word about Pro-
testants having served Catholics after the same
fashion. Our schoolmaster was too orthodox TO
enlighten us on that point; and if any one had at
that time told us that there were as many per-
sons put to death for religious opinions in the
reign of good Queen Bess, Of blessed and pious
memory, as in the reign of bloody Mary, we
should have laughed the fellow to scorn, or, in
all probability, pelted him as ibellous blasphe-
mer. In the course of a few months our preJu-
dces against our new Catholic associate began
SOlDeWHdt W dDdle, anu tne circumstance WHiCn
first made us look upon him without absolute
aversion must not be concealed, although it is by
no means creditable to our orthodoxy. The
friends of the youth were in the habit of sending
him presents OF tarts, cakes, and confectionery,
and as he was very good-natured boy, he used
to be very liberal in sharing amongst us The
good things with which he was so plentlfuy
supplied We soon discovered that there was
no difference between Catholic pies and Protes
tant pies, and that Popish coffee was quite as
good as the orthodox article In process OF time
finding that our lately despised associate was {
fine. tempered, spirited, and clever youth, Away
ready TO do good turn to any of his compan
ions, we began TO be reconciled TO him wei
as to his custards, and in short time we had en-
tirely forgotten that he was Catholic. TIL
youth to whom we have alluded was allowed tn
free use Of the Catholic Testament by the cler
gyman in whose school we assembled, and w
never quarreed about the construction to be pu
upon the Episte to Timothy"

The Inaugural address Of the President,
which is laid before our readers this afternoon,
though extended in length, is an able and i'm
poriant document. 1t places before the country
those enlarged and sound constitutional duties
which proper sense of the responsibility of the
National Executive imperatively enjoins, and
urges.in strong and emphatic manner the ne
cessity Of preserving them inviolate, and iree
from the taints of party spirit and corruption.
In full confidence in the sincerity OF the senu
ments with which this inaugural appeal Is com
mtted 10 the people, and the earnest efforts WIN
which their practical adaptation TO existing Gu :
cumstances will be attempted, we commend the
lofty aud elevated precePis which !, emo .s

| EARLY MARRIAGEs-Wha will the ladies say
to the following remarks of DR.. James Johnson,
in his Economy of Health 2"
"The most proper age for entering the holy
bonds Of matrimony has been discussed but
never settled. am entitled to my opinion and
| although cannot here give the grounds on
which It rests, the reader may take it for grant
ed, thai | could adduce, were this the proper
moral and physical, for the dogma am about to
PROFOUND. The maxim, then, which would
inculcate, is this--that matrimony should not be
contracted before the first year of the Fourth
Septenniad, on the part of females, nor before the
last year of the same in the case of the male in
other words, the female should be at least TWEEN
ty-eigh, years old. That there should be seven
years difference between the ages Of the sexes,
at whatever period of life the solemn contract is
entered upon, need not be urged, as it is univer-
sally admitted. There is difference Of seven
years, not in the actual duration Of life in the
two sexes, but in the stamina Of the constitution,
the symmetry OF the form, and the lineaments
OF the face. The wear and tear of bringing up
a family might alone account for this inequality ;
but there are other causes, inherent in the con-
stituiion, and independent of matrimony or ce-
libacy.
In respect to early marriag eoser4e, that, for
germs Germs 196 sal Which the hymeneal knot is tied
below the age Of twenty -one, there will be an
average, three years of premature decay Of the
corporal fabric, and considerable abbreviation
Of the usual range Of human existence. tits in
vain to point out instances that seem to nullty
this calculation There will be individual ex-
ceptons to all general rules. The above will be
affair average estimate.
son the moral consequences of too early
marriages, it is not my intention to dilate ;though
could adduce many strong arguments against,
and very few in favor, of the practice 1t has
been said that matrimony may have miseries,
but celibacy had no pleasures As far as too
early marriage is conceded, the adage ought to
run thus marriage must have mis-, ries, though
ceibacy may have no pleasures
"The choice of wife, or husband, is rather
foreign to my subject and has occupied much
ADLER pens than mine, to little advantage. My
own opinion is, that, were the whole of the adult
population registered as they come of age, and
each person, male and female, drew name out
of the urn, and thus rendered matrimony COM
plete lottery, the sums total Of happiness, misery
or content, would be nearly, if not exactly, the
same as upon the principle Of selection. This,
at first sight, will appear most startling propo-
sition but the closer we examine it, the less ex-
travagant it will be found"
