The following prayer was offered yes
terday morning, at the opening fthe SEM
ate, by the Rev. Septimus fusion, chap
lain of the Senate:
Great God! Thou art the fountain, the
parental fountain. of all that is just, of all
that is holy. and Of all that is good. We
bless Thy name for that heavenly inspira-
ton which led our forefa.hers. Of precious
and glorious memory. to pronounce the
colonies free and independent. We bless
Thy name for that success which through
Thy blessing, crowned their patriotism Il
their valor. We humbly and devoutly
pray that our priceless institutions, pur-
chased by the best blood. with one sub
lime and sacred exec ption, which the earth
eAer received upon its bosom, may be per-
petuated and transmitted unimpaired to our
chlldrcn's children throughout all genera
tions. May the day be far, far distant.
when our national history shall be closed,
and our epitaph be written. On this event.

Thee, with the light Of Thy favor, on these
United States of American. Bestow Thy
blessing upon the measures Of the past ad.

The very talented, gentlemanly, and
accomplished Editor Of the ''Chronicle"-
Mr.. A. A. Brown-in the last number Of
his paper, has thought proper to aIlude TO
ourselt in such way, as to render it i'm
possible for US to say anything about the
matter, without being entirely egotistical.
The whole burden of the "Chronicle's"
article, dictated as it was, by low and
mean spirit, seems to be, that the Magis-
trates of New Hanover County took the
liberty Of choosing our humble self to fill
an Office in their gift. Perhaps the "Chron-
icle" would have been very much pleased,
had the Bench sent over a Message to
himself and his clique for instructions how
they should act in the matter. In another
portion Of our paper, will be found CON-
munication on this subject, some por-
lions of which, we suppose, our reader.
may think indelicate in us TO publish,
bnt we could not avoid it. What an i'm.
pardonable crime in the Magistrates of thi.
County, that they should dare to perform
any act that might come in collision with
the wishes of the Federal party.
AS for what Mr.. Brown says about on,
being a'stranger, &C., we don't think hard
ly worth notice. We would not be sur
prised if we have not already formed al
many acquaintance in the County ofNev
Hanover, short a time as we have beer
here, as A. A. Brown has, although he
has resided in the County for some ter
years, as we are informed and more, W.
hope and expect to live amongst them IN
til we become acquainted with them, (th'
people of New Hanover, each and ever,
one OF them, and until they may hav
an opportunity of deciding whether tn
confidence they have already favored u
with. has been misplaced. We wish
A. Brown joy upon all the capital he cal
make out of this matter.

INTERESTING ITEMS!

One of the Editors Of the "New York Morn
ing News" (of course, our friend O'SuIlivan.)
now at Washing ton, writes, that the Presl-
dent intends only to fill vacancies at the pre-
sent session of the Senate. In determining
on removals and appointments which il may
be necessary to make, he intends TO take his
time, and obtain the best information and adj
vice which each case may admit Of" Crhls
is all right, as 1t strikes us.) The letter gives
the following further information: "The
fact is now sufficiently p&blic to warrant allu-
sion to it, that seats in the Cabinet had been
rendered to both Mr.. Wright and Mr.. B. F.
Bu,er-to the former the Treasury, and to
the latter the War Department. MIR. Wright
is understood to have declined, from his view
of his obligations to the State which has just
elected him to its gubernatorial Chair and,
moreover, 10 decline the highest Offices in the
country is way Of his. which is certainly
peculiar TO him.
"Mr. Butler is understood to have felt him
self bound by his duties TO his family not to
leave his present position in his profession,
even for the strong inducement thus addressed
alike TO his personal and political feelings
He was doubtless selected as the first after
Mr.. Wright to receive this offer, in conse-
quence of his known peculiarly close personal
relations towards Mr.. Van Buren,, for the pur-
pose of exhibiting the most signal proof posi-
BILE of the Presidents full sense OF the part
which New York and her great statesman
have borne in the recent contest, and Of the
relations consequently subsisting on their
part towards him, and on his part towards
them. Depend upon it, that there can never
be other than Of the most cordial and conhden-
tial character; and that Mr.. Folks sentiments
on this subject, even while very properly STAN
ding entirely and bona fde aloof from any
connexion, direct or indirect, with the ques-
ton of Presidential succession, are such as do
equal honor to his heart and head"

Conxressional--That is to be.

From the last Chronicle, we see that T. D..
Meares Esq, has accepted the nomination Of the
Warsaw Convention, as Candidate of the Wing
party in this district In the next Journal we shawe
think, have something to say about the Democratic
Candidate. The only remark we have to make at
present. is that the contest between MI. Meares
and his antagonist will be like the handle of ing,
all on one side. More anon.

Havana A fairs.

We take occasion in publishing an au-
thentc translation Of the notification for
the revival Of the ordinary duties on GER
tain articles imported into Cuba, which
have been temporarily exempt. to express
an opinion on that act. The original or
der, allowing free importation. created so
much satisfaction. that i, is quite in course
that its abrogation should produce con-
'rary feeling. We shared in both, but al
the same time feel bound to say that we do
not consider the latter cause for war. or
even tor vehement scolding. The order
exempting certain articles from duty, was
made for the simple purpose of benefi,ting
the people of Cuba. suffering under va
riety of calamites-i was issued as a tenn.
porary regnIation-expressIy stated TO be
on the authority of the Governor General
only. and subject to the revision of the
Home Government, and therefore from the
first, it offered no assurance of continuance
even through the six months to which it
was limited. The Spanish Governmeu,
said nothing for time and wfAn it did
speak. the order was aifnuIled. But the
disapproval does not affect the past. Where
then is the bad faith? We see none. No
faith was ever pledged-,he exemption
never had the character of law-it fully
answered what every one knew to be its
sole purpose-the people Of Cuba. and its
continuance would have just gluued the
markets of the Island and deprived the
Government Of years revenue. instead O
six months.
We rejoice as often as we see trade un
, shackled and grieve to see its letters AGAR
; replaced; but the people of the U. State:
would do we'll to look at home before the,
raise clsmors of bad faith against othe
Governments. 1t is not long since we hat

ORDER OF THE PROCESSION.

The procession was formed at the place of
general rendezvous. at 10 o'clock. in the fol-
lowing order: lst, the chic: marshal, General
McCalla. and his aids; next came the militia
ry, consisting of cavalry and light infantry,
under the command Of General Mason; and
after them came the President elect and ex-
President, attended by the judges of the Su-
preme Court, and the marshal Of the District
Of Columbia and mis- deputies; then followed
the fore On ministers, members of Congress,
and members of the Baltimore convention,
and officers of the army and navy in uniform.
Next came the associations, at the head of
which was detachment of the artillery Of the
Empire and Whit Eagle clubs of New York,
under the command Of Captain Castle, and
followed BY the various associ lions of the
District Of Columbia, the corporate authorl.
ties Of the District, and the professors and STU
dents of the Georgetown College. lntersper-
sed at equal distances were three or four bands
of music, which played during the procession:
Arriving at TIE Capitol, the President elect,
judges Of thes Supreme Court, and members
of Congress, entered the Capitol, and were
received in the Senate Chamber by the Sen
ate, while the procession having marched round
by the north side Of the square, entered the
enclosures at the east gate, and formed in a
dense column in front or the east portico
where the ceremony was to take place. In a
few moments, the President elect, attended
by the Supreme Court, the Senate, and mem
bers Of Congress, appeared in the portico. and
was hailed with the firing of cannon, and the
most enthusiastic cheering from the assembled
multitude. Having delivered his inaugural
address in voice so firm and distinct, as to
be heard by almost every individual present
the oath Of Office was administered to him by
Chief Justice fancy, in the manner prescr
bed by the constitution. This event was an
nounced by the discharge of cannon, and the
hearty, deafeping shouts Of The multitude, anc
the procession was again formed in the same
order as at the commencement, and escorted
the new President to the Presidential Man
sion, where it was dismissed.
Notwithstanding the disagreeableness ofth'
weather, Git having commenced raining by thu
time the procession was formed, and contin
ued so the whole dav,) there never has bee,
on any occasion a larger concourse Of peopl
in the C ~ of Washington. The streets an'
pavements for the whole line. were densel,
crow ded with a mass of human beings, oil
, and young, male and fem lie, all seemingl
happy in Witnessing the inauguration Of tn
peoples President.
During the procession, the wide Pennsylva
MIA avenue, which is about mile and a hal
in length, was filled with the current Of pee
> pie; and all the porticos and terraces of publ
buildings, aud the windows and porches of tn
private houses, were crowded to excess.
