PRESIDENT TAYLoR's INAUGURAL

-
We published last week, within less than
twenty-four hours after it was delivered, the
Inaugural of Gen. Taylor, in full, with the
exception of one sentence, imperfectly report
ed, ard unimportant to the connection,) and
not an extract, as enormously stated, on the
authority of the Telegraph. Two or three
slight inaccuracies occurred in our report
(such as 81 witness for "address," in the first
sentence,) which we do not deem it necessary
to refer to more particularly, as the readers
good sense will at once dictate the true read
ing. We can only wonder that it should have
been transmitted so accurately. in so short a
time after it was pronounced in Washington
and we can but admire the perfection OF that
invention, for which the world isso largely in
debted to Prof. Morse.
Of the address itself, it may justly be said
that it is a model of what all official papers
and speeches ought to be-and is, in fact, in
the true spirit of {" the earlier Presidents" 1t
touches upon every needful point, and indi-
CdlcS WIN SuiASicht aCiSaihSoS anu PiSSioiOAi
what the policy of the new Administration is
to be. 1t consistently maintains the position
originally assumed in the first Allison letter,
and occupied throughout the Presidential can>
vass AS to domestic interests, the President
promises to favor the protection of all branch
es of industry, the improvement of our rivers
and harbors, and such measures as will tend, as
much as possible, to moderate the extremes Of
sectional feeling. With respect to foreign af-
fairs, his policy is, to aim, above all things, to
preserve peaceful relations with all nations,
and never, except as last and inevitable re-
sort, to appeal to arms.
The tone of the whole address is such, that
we feel it to be spoken from the heart-not as
a mere necessary formality, or as piece of
diplomatic rhetoric-but as an avowal, in So
Der earnest, of principles which are firmly
held, and will be scrupulously carried out.
Should these views, consistently and steadily,
characterize the administration of Gen. Tay-
lor, as we now find it impossible to doubt, its
will be unparalleled, and the bene-
fits it will confer upon our common country,
by ccmenting and Strengthening its union and
by promoting its peace and prosperity, will
be incalculable.

The Art Union is established for the pur-
pose of extending q love for the FINE ARTS
throughout the United States, and 10 give en-,
couragement to Artists beyond that afforded
by the patronage of individuals Its Promot-
ers believe that these Arts can never attain
their due rank in this country (already so lar
advanced in many of the other elements OF
civilization until adequate encouragement he
given to the highest efforts Of the Painter and
Sculptor.
For the accomplishment of this object, the
Society has adopted the following
PLAN:
l. Each subscriber of Five Dollars become:
a member of the Art Union for one year.
2. The money thus obtained is applied. first
to the procuring of large and costly Engrav
ing, from an original American Picture, Of
which every member receives copy; and
next. to the purchase of Pictures, Drawings
or other works of Art, with The funds dlstrib-
uted by lot among The members for that pur-
pose.
Thus, for the sum Of Five Dollars, every
member is sure Of receiving a fine Engraving
worth alone the amount Of his subscription
and the chance of obtaining fine original
Painting, to be selected by himself from any
public Exhibition in the United States.
The first Monday in May, annually, being
the time fixed by the Bylaws for the distri-
button Of prizes it is desirable that all sub
scriptions should be received before the last
Monday in April.
Subscribers for the year ending May 9TH.
1919, viii receive for each subscription Of
Five Dollars paid, an impression of an elabo-
rate Engraving, executed expressly for the
Association, from the picture of
RUTH AND BOAZ,

seph Sill, Esq, Philadelphia; engraved by

Messrs. Giddings and Meade, in which the

U. S. Consul at Panama:
SIR-The laws Of the United States
inflict the penalty of fine and imprison
ment on irespassers on public lands. As
nothing can be more unreasonable or I'M
Just than the conduct pursued by persons
not citizens of the United States, who are
hocking from all parts TO search for and
carry off gold from the lands belonging
to the United States in California, and as
such conduct is in direct violation Of law,
it will become my duty, Immediately on
my arrival there, to put these laws in force
and to prevent their infraction in future,
by furnishing, with the penalties provided
by law, all those who offend.
As these laws are probably not known
to many who are about starting for Cali
fornia, it would be well TO make it public
" known that there are such laws in ex-
istence, and that they will be, in future,
enforced against all persons not citizens
Of the United States, who shall commit
any trespass on the lands of the United
States in California.
Your position as Consul here, being in
communication with our Consuls on the
coast of South America, affords you the
opportunity of making this known most
generally. and will be much obliged to
you if you will do it. With sincere respect

GEORGIA BURR MILL-SToNEs.-Ou readers have
already been informed that, among the other valu-

Gently been discovered in Burke county in that
State, large quarry of burr stones, embracing an
area of II 900 acres. company, named the La
fayette Burr Milestone Company, has been formed
to work it, and furnish American mill stones equal
to the French burr. Heretofore, the French burr
stones, from their very superior quality, have had
the monopoly; but from the high prices demanded
for them, they have not always been attainable
The Georgia stones will now furnish the desdera-
tum SO long sought for. The Scientific american
speaks of these stones follows:
"We have contrasted these stones in every way
with French burrs, from which, without know
ing that the one came from France and the other
from Georgia, no person could point out difference
Those who have used the Georgia prefer ii for
more enduring fine sharpness, and in that case
it is more economical to use From what we have
of the Georgia stone, and heard about it from
the most respectable sources respecting its practical
results, confident that the quarry must be Of
immense value"

Frnn the Union Of Dsoember Is.

"Thc federal press and party rejoice at the frus-
tration Of what they call the Free Soil plot If
the Taylor plot had also been frustrated before the
last election Of President the untoward state of
things existing at the Capitol would not have
g occurred There would not be any disorganiza-
ton proceeding from any cause. The car Of the
patriot would not have been panied by balcful
threats Of disunion, which we trust may never
again be heard in the halls Of Congress Then
the Executive would have had y tongue, capacity,
independence, and wisdom. And then no cloud
Of dark and gloomy portent would have brooded
over the destnies Of this great and glorious
Union"
We would call attention to the above
extraordinary paragraph from the sole or
gan Of the Democracy. What does it
mean
II means simply that the prevailing
disorganzation and confusion arise from
the policy and measures of the Bitter End
ers. II means that all the existing agita-
ton grows out of the disappointment and
desire Of revenge Of the defeated party
Il means that If General TAYLOR had not
been elected, the Union would not have
devoted itself for weeks and months to
stir up discord between the North and the
South. II means that ambitious and cha
grined aspirants for undeserved honors
would not have combined to break down
an administration by sectional appeals,
without regard TO its measures, and in ad-
vance Of any development Of its policy.
II means that the spirit of disunion which
they have evoked is false and forced spirit /;
that It has no rightful foundation in exist
ing facts that it meets with no response
or sympathy among wise and patriotic
men. It means that with these men poll
tics is a mere game, to be played with
packed cards and loaded dice,
The cause Of dlsorganization, II seems,
is, that the American people have seen fit
to elect General TAYLOR President. With
out this, there would not have been any
disorganization from any cause" Without
this, there would have been no "baleful
threats Of disunion" Without this, there
would have been no cloud over the desti-
MES of the Union. But now, forsooth,
because the people have seen fit to exer-
else their elective franchise in one way
rather than another, there is cloud over
our dcstinies. Now, because the people
have seen fit to place General TAYLOR in
the Presidential chair, there are baleful
threats Of disunion. Now, because the
friends of General CAss have not sue
ceeded in making him President, or in re-
turning majority Of representatives to the
! two Houses Of Congress, we are to have

Although, in our country, the Chief Magistrate
must almost of necessity be chosen by party,
and stand pledged to its principles and measures,
vet in his official action, HE SHOULD NOT BE
THE PRESIDENT OF PART ONLY, BUT
OF THE WHOLE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
STATES. While he executes the laws with an inn
partial hand, shrinks from no proper responsible
ty and faithfully carries out in the Executive De-
partmcnt of the Government the principles and
policy of those who have chosen him, he should
not be unmindful that fellow-citizens loho
haze differed ,eih him in opinion'are entitled 10 The

All we ask is, that these two passages
should be submitted to the same rules of
Interpretation. Read General TAYLoR's
pledge in the same light in which you
read that of Mr. Polk, and measure out
to them the same strict justice. If Presi-
dent Polk redeemed his pledge, by dis
tributing all his Offices among the mem
bers of his own party, does President
TAYLOR violate the same pledge by seek
ing TO equalize the public employments by
giving their full proportion of them to the
