From the Athens Messenger.
Such are the prominent features ofthe
course marked out by President Taylor
in his Inaugural Pledge or platform" to
the People. They are enobling princi'
ples-truly Republican Wing doctrines.
Carried out, they will render the country
both prosperous and happy. and at the
same time justly render his Administra-
tion one of the most popular since the for
nation of the Government.
From he Cincinnati Chronicle.
The brevity and perspicuity Of Presi-
dent Taylor's Inaugural Address are SO
striking, that it would seem to be almost
superhuous to make a single remark up
on it. But we cannot restrain the i'm
pulse to express our qualification at its
matter and temper. 1t is imbued with
the true principles of Republicanism, and
bears the impress of the hand of States
man, Patriot and Christian. The ex-
positions we have so often heretofore,
and even no longer ago than yesterday,
corroborated and confirmed by his first
official act. The Inaugural is thorough
Wing in sentiment and spirit. While
he pledges himself for faithful perfor.
nance ofthe Executive duties enioined
by the Constitution, he will leave TO Con-
gress the appropriate duty of shaping the
domestic policy of the country.
The friends of Republicanism, Civil
cation and Christianity, will 'ejoice, as we
do at the admirable sentiments of Presi-
dent Taylor on the proper mode of pre-
serving peace and settling difficulties with
other powers. The Old Warrior repu,
dates the Gunpowder theory, ard relies
on negotiation. He is a Patriot and
Christian in spirit. That paragraph is in,
fnitely more glorious than all the honors
of his military triumphs. ,......
. From the CircleviHe Herald
We are sure that all our readers will
be we'll pleased with the Inaugural ad-
dress of the new President. 1t is just
what it should be, short, comprehensive
pointed, and unequivocal in its express
ions, The leading doctrines ofthe Wings
are avowed in a modest and dignifed
manner so that no one however much op.
posed to them can take offence. There
is no clustering and bravado, no lauda
tions of party which were characteristic,
of the late Mr.. Folks Inaugural. Gen
Taylor does not talk like party leader
but like the Chief Magistrate Of the ma
ton. The good time has come, boys.
From The Ohio State Journal.
We have little time to comment upol
the Inaugural Address of the Presden
elect. nor is any comment needed. 1t i
plain, straight forward declaration o
the true policy which should guide thu
action of the Executive head ofa repub
lican government. 1t contains recog
milton of the powers of the other branches
and proclaims the true doctrine Of non
Interference with their functions. II i
such an address as we expected fror
President Taylor, and, in our opinion
will give universal satisfaction.
From The ZanesviHe Courier.
This document, the Address of Pres
dent Taylor, on the occasion of his in
auguration, is now before our reader,
It's terms, and is general scope can hard
ly fail to prove satisfactory TO all model
ate men. 1t is the modest, brief, but eS
plicte enlnciation, by man who has n
concealments to make, with no friends t
reward and no enemies to punish. of tn
plain simple Constitutional principle
which will guide him in the administra
ton of the Those princi
Piles he has gathered from the decision
of the Judicial tribunals and from tn
practice under the earlier Presidents.
And the hero Of many bloody victc
ries, who has won name in arms nferiC
to none in the estimation of civilized n;
tions.lwith that love of peace which o.
er marks the truly brave and the trie
soldier. lays off the laurels he has wol
and procIaims his belief that in the col
duct ofour foreign relations, "every re
sort of honorable diplomacy" should b
exhausted before appealing to arms.
