-. In reply TO the numerous inquiries made IN
avery quarter, and many OF them directed TO
US, as to to the probable course of the Presi.
dent 10 relarioo TO ofhce-holders and oihce-seek-
ers, we think we may say that no one has yet
been authorized by the President TO announce
his intentions.
But every body may guess, il they please F;
aud we have no hesitation in publishing our
mere surmises. We think, then, that the Re
publican President will iill all the offices with
Republicans-we mean all the offices that may
become vacant by the expiration Of commits
sions, by designations, by deaths, and by dis.
missal for improper conduct Such, we pre-
diet, will be the general policy of the Executive;
and we think there will be more dismissals In
this District than almost any where else, be-
cause there has been more improper conduct
here. But we do not think there will be much
prescription for opinions sake, where those en-
pertaining adverse opinions have been deco
rous and conscientious in the maintenance Of
them.
We have seen enough to know that when re-
movals are permitted TO be made on mere party
grounds, the President cannot avoid sympa-
thizing with the losers, and their destitute fam
lilies and thus it is that 1t is natural for any
Chief Magistrate TO be reluctant to sanction in

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

By the mail of last night have received the In
augura Address Of Mr.. Folk. II is a document that
will be read with pleasure by all the people, There
is no ambiguity of expression meaning about it, but
all its sentiments clothed in chase language that
can be understood by the most common mind and
while Mr.. Polk feels himself to be the President Of
the whole American people, his sentiments as sha-
lowed forth in this address, will meet with response
from the mass of the Democratic party as the true
principles by which the General Government should
be administered We trust that the administration of
Mr., Polk will be happy one for himself and pros.
porous one for the country.
