THE INAUGURAL.

In another column, win be found the inaugnrcs,
ADDRESS OF President Taylor. We are indebted
to our nsghbOr Of the Wing Tor copy Of it. 1t
WAS teegraPhed to this place and was issued
from the Wing office within little more than
twenty .iOur hoEfs after its delivery in Washing
ton. Our exchanges, containing it, are lumber.
ing slowly along in the mail coaches and will not
reach US in two or three days; we have therefore
concluded to take the lelegraPhed copy, which
we presume is, in the main, correct
The Inaugural is quite mild and dignifsd in its
tone. Tho style is clear aud unPretending, but
! the address wants explctness and point. We
are almost rs much in the dark with regard TO
Gen. Taylor'S views on the leading political ques.
lions Of the day as we were before we read this
inaugural. Its merits indeed are rather Of a ne.
gatiye than positive character. In his enume,
ration Of the duties entrusted 10 the President, be
does not mention, or even allude to the veto pow.
er, which in certain cases, is certainly one ofthe
most important duties the Executive.
What be says of the conduct of our foreign
affairs and the appointing power is all very good,
and il the new President will strictly conform to
the principles laid down on these two points, he
will doubtless give general satisfaction.
The paragraph, commencing, ut shall be my
duty TO recommend such Constitutional measures
to Congress, &c." is the most explicit, ant
al the same time the most Objectionable part Of
the inaugural. We inter from it, though we hope
that in this we may be mistaken, that Presiden
Taylor will recommend protective tariff, sys
lem Of internal improvements by the genera
government, and will not nerposo his veto tC
any legislative acts which Congress may think
proper to pass Tor the regulation of matters 0
domestic policy.
But the inaugural is before our readers ant
they can Judge OF il for themselves. We did no
expect that il would give US much light as to tho
measures of the new administration, and we ar,
not disappointed.
OF paper mandatory has been established
in the city of Tuscaloosa, and is now in success
tul operation. The Tuscaloosa Monitor Of The
9Th inst, which has just come to hand, is printed
on paper made at the new mill. 1t is decided,
| of better quality than the paper we usually ge
here from the North, and il the price is reason
able, the printing establishments in all this regior
will find it 10 their interest TO procure paper from
Tuscaloosa instead Of sending to the north for it
We clip from the Monitor the following article il
reference to the new mill f:
TUSCALOOSA PAPER MlLL.---It gives us pleas
ure to announce TO our readers, that the present
number OF the Monitor is printed on paper made
at the new mill in this city. Itisa part of the
first lot manufactured, and has not even had the
advantage of the finishing process of trimming
and pressing. The paper speaks for itself, ant
needs 10 praise from us. We are assured b,
The manufacturers, and we confidently believe
the quality Of the paper will daily improve, unit
every thing about the mill gets fully and airl,
under way, when they will DO able TO furnish a,
good an article as any other mill in the Union
both Of book and newspaper, and a, correspond
ing prices.
Our publishing brethren who are within con
veniens distance (and we think there are som,
twenty-five or thirty,) will find this mill grea
benefit, as they can get paper at all seasons
and should their cash run short they have only L
stir up their delinquent subscribers and make Their
settle in rags, which will answer every purpose
" Merchants, too, will find it to their adyantag
10 barter for rags, as they will always comman
the cash, or can be exchanged Tor an article
wrapping, or other paper, at the mill.
