IL President Taylor's Inaugural will be found
in another column. IL has the merit Of being
short, il it possesses no other merit. We have no
disposition TO end fault with the document. 1t Is
well enough. what there is Of it, and plenty
of it such as it is There is squirt towards
compromise of the slavery question-at least
SO We understand that part of the Inaugural
which talks about "measures of Cancellation" and
harmoniziug conflicting interests" What is said
about recommending ssuch constitutional measures
as may be necessary 10 secure encouragement to
the great interests of agriculture, commerce and
manufactures; 10 improve our rivers and harbors,'
may mean that be is in favor of protective tariff,
and liberal appropriations for impro, ements, or il
may not. John {. Calhoun is in favor of ''such
constitutional measures may be necessary for
the purposes stated and so is James X. Polk Doc
tors disagree as 10 what is constitutional. But we
suppose the General will be governed by the wing
creed on the subject. Toberal appropriations for
harbor ahl river Improvements we shall not ob;ett,
and so far the tariff question i concerned we en-
ertan dpprehensions, whatever may be the views
of the new administration that any very essential
change will be Effected for the coming four years
at least We have no idea that high protective
tariff system can be established The democratic
majority in the Senate is in the way of that-On
the subject OF removals and appointments, it would
seem that the only test is 10 be honesty and copa-
btHy: political character is not to be considered
This is very comfortable doctrine for most oI the
ms, and very Uncomfortable one for the outs
There will be great DISAPPOINTMENT and trouble in
the wing camp, if after all tie pains and trouble hey
have taken to elect Old Zlck, they should be cheat
ed out of the spos about the only thing they have
been contending for.
