THE INAUGURAL.

Our readers will find in to-day's Journal,
President Taylor's Inaugural Address, which
was delivered on the 5th March, in presence
of both Houses of Congress, and large num-
Der of spectators. With the exception of the
particular and professional reference to the
I" Army and Navy" and SO the Improvement OF
Han boris and Rivers we cannot find, in such
combination of generaIities, much either to ap-
prove or condemn. 1t possesses all the hrevl-
ty OF Gen. Taylor's revised publications -
The apparent sincerity OF purpose, which is'
in fact, its leading feature, is worthy the oc-
cupant'of so exalted an Office. Like the gio-
rious sun, whose beams are Illuminating
US this day, the administration OF Gen. Taylor
opens with rich promises of usefulness and
honor. Scarcely cloud is TO be seen in the
political horizon; God grant that we may new.
er have occasion to call the public notice TO
the alarming growth and blackness OF little
speck, which, unless we mistake not, will
yet deluge US in the horrors of tempest and

and the golden band of our Union enclrcle
a new constellation of happy and prosperous
States.
Upon all this, from your retirement IN le"-

Mr.. POLK'S REPLY.
Mr. Polk Immediately spoke in reply, ex-
pressing and exhibiting his emotion at this
testimonial ofthe esteem of the people OF his
native State You remark truly, sir, says he,
that still cherish affection for my native
State receive its welcome as the blessing
of an honored parent. North Carolina can
boast of glorious "reminiscences, and is entitled
to rank with, or far above, many who make
greater pretensions. 1t was from her-her
Counties of Mecklenburg, New Hanover, and
Bladen-that the news Of treason in the Col
onies first went to the ears of the British
Crown, and the spirit of independence was a
reused. This, said he, had for a long time
beer doubted, but has incontestibly been pro
we'd by certain documents which, having late
" been rescued from the British archives,
have had the honor and qualification TO trans
nit 10 your Governor. Whatever may have
done as the President of this people, has
been done with desire to secure their hap
pness. My greatest consolation and gratiti-
cation, in retirement. will be-if should be
so happy as TO obtain 1.-THE approval of my
fellow citizens In administering the govern
ment. have acted solely upon principle
leaving the result TO God, conscience and my
Country. You have said truly, sir, that our
| boundaries are now the OcCans-and such are
our new acquisitions, that if by kind Provi-
dence. this glorious Union shall be preserved
we must command the commerce and admira-
ton of the world Our feats of arms in Mex
leo secure US from all apprehension of foreign
foes. To you, sir, and those associated with
you, and TO my fellow-citizens here present,
return my sincere thanks for this cordial wei

Mr.. Polk was peculiarly happy in his re-
marks. though he appeared much harassed by
his journey, and was laboring under an attack
OF influenza.

HON EDMUND BURKE.

The following letter to the Editor of the
Union, is deserving of all praise and it affords
us no little pleasure in spreading il before our
readers. That there will be complete slaugh-
tering of old and faithful public officers, by
the new administration, we have not the least
doubt Ina short time, and the guIlotine axe
will be put in operation. But it is better, far
better, as the Union justly remarks, "To be
stricken down in the path Of independence
than consent to sacrifice ones principles at
the feet OF power. II Gen. Taylor or his Sec
retaries should consent to sacrifice such men
