THE PRESIDENTS INAUGURAL.

We lay this important document before our read

pledges himselfIo conduct the administration in ac-
cordance with a rigid adherence to the Constitution
He congra luates the country upon the passage of
the Texas resolutions, and adheres firmly TO his oft
repeated opinions in favor Of a modification of the
Tariff, by reducing 1t to revenue standard. His
argument respecting the Tariff is essentially that

considers our title to Oregon indsputable, and will
use every honorable effort to have this important
question brought TO speedy termination. The
Slavery and Abolition questions are briefly alluded
to, in manner satisfactory to every friend Of Con-

only time for hasty glance at this interesting docu-
ment having only single copy for the printers we
were obliged to forego attentive perusal until this
morning. 1t is written in plain and dgnifed style,
and will be comprehended by the million who will
we hope participate in the benefits that will flow
from strict adherence 10 the great doctrines it
TINS. The President pledges himself not to be the
President of party but of the whole American peo.
pie. He recognises the rights of the minority as
we'll as of the majority. We are exceedingly pleased
with his remarks on this head. They are calculated
to soften the asPerty of those who conceived it to be
their most solemn duty to oppose his elevation. 1t
indicates also, enlarged and liberal spirit of phi
anthropy that rises above the mere partisan dema-
gogue, and proves him to be worthy of the dignhed
station to which he has been called We have con.
hdence in his honesty and his capabty; yet we con-
ceiVe 1t to be our duty to watch with eagles eye
every movement Of the new administration. We
rely much upon his integrity and ability yet we rely
more on the exercise of an eternal vigilance on the
part of those whose sufrages elevated him. The
best disposed men sometimes led as,ray by
the designing, the intriguing demagogue. Honesty
is claimed for John Tyler; yet he surrounded by
band of sycophants and couriiers, who wormed
themselves into his confidence and thereby material
y essened the esteem and respect the part of the
people, that would otherwise have .been entertained
for him in his retirement. But frmer and less ca
silly deceived man now occupies the chair of state
He possesses intellect that will penetrate into and
unravel the plans of those who wish to control and
guide his administration, for selfish purposes 10 the

tortuous course to subserve the interests of cques
