The Inauguration of Gen. Taylor.

WAsnINGToN, Monday, March 5.
The Inauguration to day was a spectacle Of
imposing simplicity, in spite of the adverse in.
fluences of raw east wind, and gloomy, snow
splitting sky. The galleries of the Senate are
miserably Inadequate for such an occasion the
Members elect aud ex-Mcmbers of Congress,
with the Supreme Court, Diplomatic Corps, and
various iavortes OF those who had the entree
were crowded therein for an hour and half,
breathing like fishes on a sand bank an atmos-
| phere growing momently more noxious, while
some Senators who ought TO have known better
insisted on having the windows closed from feat
of taking cold The new Senators wero prompt.
ly sworn in, except Gen. Shields, whose eigi6il.
ity was formally objected to, and whose case was
thereupon laid over till to morrow.
Mr.. FILLMORE, on being sworn in as Vice.
President, delivered brief extempore address
which seemed very good and was well received
There was one point which seemed IN some.
what doubtful taste, considering that the repre-.
sena,ives of ell the great monarchies Of Europe
sat Immediately before him. ! alude of course
to that IN which the spectacle OF our peaceful
dynasic changes are contrasted with the bloody
and devastating revolutions Of Europe.
! Sill, we never expect monarchies to be meoy
inouthed with respect TO our institutions in like
cases, and the rule ought to work both ways.
wish, however, we were generally more inien
on improving our institutions and less prone L
Dragging of them.
Gen. Taylor at length arrived, having beer
Detained by the humbug Of grand procession
whose movements he could not control. TIL,
whole then proceeded-that is all who cou!,
crowd upon ito the norlh portico of the Capt.
tol, where the Chief Justice swore in the Presi
dent aud the latter read his Inaugural. / coult
not get near enough TO distinguish his counte
nance at any stage of the performance, but he
read we'll and all say he appeared well through
out. The crowd was immense and of course
enthusiastically given to shou'ng.
Mr. Polk attended throughout, and played IN
part very cordially and well. lie was the sec
ond man 10 shake hands with the President cleo
alter his Inauguration believe he leaves to
morrow on his homeward journey via Charleston
S. G. and New. Orleans. lie always had lean
ing that way.
The Inaugural is greatly praised of course
1t is pretty good, though not perfection. 1t
brcvlty alone would make it popular Ii he wi

taken Mr. Meredih's views on the subject of
protective duties The letter was arst publish.

Introductory remarks. the editor says:-
1t SO happens, that for more years than we
care 10 mention, we have enjoyed the privilege
of the most friendly intercourse with MI. Mere.
dith, and have had constant opportunities of
knowing his views of public measures, and we
assert, that in reference TO all the leading topics
which now agita:e this country, his views coin
eide with those entertained by the Wing party.
As 10 the particular subject of domestic industry
the letter which we subjon, written IN reply 10

| My Dear Sir:-l had the pleasure OF receiy-
ing, few days since, your letter on behalf OF
the committee, inviting me to be present at the
Wing jubilee in Potlsville an Saturday next.
regret extremely that my engagements here will
prevent me from avaing myself of the invita-
ton. There could be no occasion on which
should more J"yiully participate in the festivities
The importance of the result of the late elections
cannot be oveTated.
The passage ofihe act of 1916 inrolued inSuit
as ioeI as injury 10 Pennsylvania, and her people
must have been blind to their own honor and In
terest If they had not resented it. The triumph
ant manner in which the people of the Common
wealth, and in an especial and remarkable de-
gree the people Of Schuykill county, have vim
dlcated their lights at the recent elections, moi
only shows a determination that the principles
of the tariff of 1912 shall be restored, and that
their industry shall not in future be sacrificed to
suit the views Of political parlsans, but exhibits
IN strong light the fact that the people cannot
be long deceived, and that they can and will en-
force the due responsibility Of their public ser
wants. While we are able to do this, we may be
sure that the republic will continue 10 be safe

letter, both TO the President OF the republic and
to Odllon Barrot, The president OF the council, in

themselves by formal OATH to abandon all pre-
tensions OF the government Neither Louis Ma
