TIE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.


President Harrison's Inaugural Address we have
carefully read, and Notwithstanding we sat down
to II, determined in spirit Of magnunimy TO praise
if praise were possible, we are constrained from
bare regard TO truth to pronounce it one Of the
most grandoquent humbugs of the day! 1t is la
bored, verbose, obscure, bombus,ic and feeble. Its
tone is vain-g lorious throughout; and exhibits the
author MS one intoxicated with the greatness Of
his novel position, as to be incapable Of reasoning
distinctly, or Of communicating his thoughts to 9th
ers in ineligible language. The document is full
of indirect and unamiahe illusions to the policy of
his predecessor, and of contradictory positions
to the intended character of his own. Column al
ter column Is wasted 10 prove what no human be-
ing ever was silly enough to doubt; and those sub
iecls summary despatched in few ambiguous
lines upon which he mig ht have satisfactorily en-
hrged, and upon which his opinion has been await
cd with unusual interest.
The Inaugural Address is indeed most rnsat-
siacrory paper, We look through it in vain for
that enlarged and stntesman-lilie view of our social
and political relations, Of the condition of our gov
eminent and people, and Of those broad and impor-
ant principles which divide the one and influence
the other, that we had Il right to anticipate such
an occasion. We look through it in vain for u hold,
independent, and patriotic revelation Of sentiment,

The editor Of the Watchman, in his last paper,
to use common phrase, paddles Justify, to get
ont of the bug bear darkness that has enveIoped
his genius for week or two, on the subject Of
Council of Censors. The Waterman says
"Thc Constitution is the common property Of
all parties of all things, therefore, it should be
the very last to be made mere party football, to
be kicked 10 and fro by coniending politicians
This Is our doctrine, and hence we have opposed
what we believe to be a mele party move"
Now let us see what our doctrine is, which was
plainly promulgated at the commencement Of the
discussion:
"ln our selection Of candidates, it will be seen
by the name of the gentleman,-Mr Pralt-insert-
1 E; VII gss "I TSI go" H"" -" "sf'r'nce 10
Again;
"This systematic present one--should be chan
ged, mol by any purity, nor for any palfy, but by
the people, for the people. "-.qse, ftJ. 20.
Once more:
"The democratic party it would seem did not
look upon the malter-the election of council
as political business, NEITHER DID WE"

His contortions and writings will be sufficiently RI
diculous upon either lie has commenced Il war
upon US, with zeal not according knowledge, OF he
has wifuly attempted to prejudice the minds of the
people against us, by asserting malicious falsehoods,
as the extracts from the Age will show
But" says the W., " the move (he attempt
on our part to make the election Of Censors par
ty thing is abandone9."
As,by the extracts from the .fce, it will be seen
no party move was made by US, so none has been
abandoned.
eff Mr. Pratt, (soys the W. has pledged him.
self to the proposed alteration Of the Constitution,
because the Scorpion threatened TO sting him, il
shows weakness which should disquaily him for
any responsible saton.''
This is most silly, not 10 say abusive. Mr. Pratt
informed US in conjunction with the editor of the
Mercury, (whig) that he was in favor of the prin-
ciplc of the Reform, and always had been, and in
being so he agrees with an undisputable majority
of the people of this section.

ABoLITIoNIsM OF GEN. HARRISON.

Gen, Harrison made speech at Richmond, Va.
the other day, which may be interesting to of
the leaders of the Abolition party in this State, and
also 10 the Of the people, it will tend some
what to show them whether or not they have been
deceived in the late contest,
The orator took strong grounds against Adolf
tionism. He asked with great energy, GLOW
could Vhginion, born and bred on the lower
James River, and in house noted for some mem
orable incidents In our revolutionary struggle, be
Abolitionst' How could IA Virginan, whose sires
received many distinguished tokens of confidence
and esteem at the hands of this virtuous Common
wealth, be an Abolitionist' Hon. could Tir-
ginian be so irrerereM 10 the sacred ashes of his
honorea ancestors, as 10 be an .ddoliioniSt?-
Could such Virgnian be called an Abolilionsl by
another Virginan, and that other a true-hGaried
Vrgnian, and sound to the core' The thing was
impossible. The bosom could not be free from
faint that harbored such suspicion"
Further, the Richmond Wig assured us,
,h".' 0o".Ha,isU"'s Inaugural would Jake The most
decided grounds against the Aboonisls, as Gen,
Harrison had done for % years.
Still further, Gen. Harrison said in the same
speech, according to the IVhig that che had new
or been 81 foolish as to ask Mr. GRANGER whch-
or he was an Abolitionist or not: knowing, as he
did, his public life and history. But Mr. Granger
hat come 10 him the day before he left flashing
ton, and told him, that an article in a Richmond
paper, wRich admitted The POSSIBILITY Of his be-
ing an .qJolHionit, had just fallen under his
eye lie, (Nlr G,) desired him, Gen. ll,) when
he got to Richmond, to say to the Editors Of that
paper, that he 'caS not only NO ABoLITIoNIsT,
but HE SHOULD EXPECT Gen. II. TO EyICT
