published in the New York New Era.
1.-The Inaugural Address of President
Harrison was received in Albany last
Saturday, and the truth and nothing but
the truth is said about it in the New York
Herald Of to-day. In some portions of
the document TOO much is said about
nothing, and the rest is 'twaddle. The
Hero Of Tippecanoe is in error in saying
that the 'veto was not used by the first
six Presidents and the hackneyed remark
which he puts i'll the mouth of Roman
Consul was uttered by Aurls Marius be-
fore he had reached the Consulship. In

"Altogether, the Inaugural Address Of
President Harrison is one of the wea' est
affairs we have ever read-and one that
would have done no great credit TO the
most ilitera,e CHIEF Magistrate of the
smallest State in the Union. We should
have felt mortified if such a production
had cmanated from the Executive of

we'll enough for school-boy, or the
Buckeye Blacksmith; : but we will vent
urc to say that, had any one delivered
such an address before any Of our Lyce
ums, the author would not have been
furnished with an opportunity of deliver
ing another like it very soon. We think
there is very little probability Of the new
President losing the credit of having
written the address himself, for we have
a better opinion of any Of the members Of
the cabinet to even suspect that any one
of them had hand in preparing it-and
we feel quite sure that Harry of the
West would consider it very great i'll
suit if he were charged with being the
author of it. No, no; it is Harrisonian
throughout, not unlike many other bung-
ling things that have emanated from his
mysterious brain--and, If there is the
least merit attached TO tive are perfectly
willing that he should receive all the Gre
