Wednesday Morning, March Is, Is4S

 The Inauguration of President POLK took rlace the 4ih, under the POrtco in front of the CnPital at Washington city.
 The city full of strangers. among whom were military companies from Baltimore and the sur rounding country, and two from Virginia. The whole ceremonial was very imposing, but he display materially spoiled by steady rain which lasted all day. We find our best accounts in the Baltimore papers.
 The procession was formed on Pennsylvania Ave- nue. The scene upon Capitol Hill was most lmpos- ing. Cannon were stationed upon the brow of the Hill and on he grounds, and signals Ofpreparaion or conclusion were fired from morning until the oath of office administered.
 The terrace was lined with people, and the grounds we'll covered also There were but few persons with in doors compared with the many without. The la- dies entered unattended by gentlemen, and the ladies gallery presented an elegant appearance. No gem tlemen except privileged persons were admitted cepl upon the floor of the Chamber. Here were Se- rators and ex-Senators, Members and ex-Members, Judges of the Supreme Court, the Diplomatic Corps, Officers of the Army and Navy in uniform. 10
 Ne" Senators were present from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary Mississippi, Ohio and Michigan, one from ench State.
 The President commenced the reading of his in- auguraI address about ten minutes before I2, and il occupied about half an hour in reading, when the oath of office was administered by Chief Justice rAEEY.
 The proc ssion Jeff Capitol Hill at one o'clock for the Presidents House, where Mir. POLK receiv- his friends in his new quarters as President of the United States.
 The mail brought us the address as delivered. It will be found in another part of our paper.
 Our notice of this important document must be brct In point of style, il will receive undiv d- co nmendalion We have not of late years been used to executive communic tions of the kind. al once clear, dignked and perspcuous It Is appropriate in and temper; firm, but temperate; distinct in he annunciation of adherence 10 party principles. but courteous and moderate towards the men of op- posife opinions. It is paper winch will commend itself to the respect of the people of all opinions, and concate the klnd feelings of men Of all parties.
 Its sentiments in general, will meet with the cheerful concurrence of the democratic party. As s chief, Mr. Polk has spoken it's opinions distinct Iy; and though some shades of doctrine may give op- portunity for ultraisis point or two, to mak e material for dsconten, the great body Of the party, conhding his patriotic zeal for the harmonizing of all interests, will give him generous construction and liberal support. He is now installed m the highest office of the country and lhe in winch he has commenced the execution of it's duties, co.- firms the confidence wh,ch placed him ,here, and gives encouraging of firm, patriotic, repub.
