Inauguration Of President Fill


more.
The National InteIligencer, of the llth
inst, gives the following interesting ac-
count of the Inauguration of the new
resident, Mr.. FILLMORE.
At twelve o'clock, according to previ-
Gus arrangement, the Senate entered the
hall of the House of Representatives.
the Speaker and Members standing.--
Soon after, the Hon. Millard Fillmore,
Vice President OF the United States, at
tended by member of each House, en-
tered the hall and took seat at the table
of the Clerk of the House. After a
brief pause he rose, aud in clear and
distinct voice, pronounced the oath of
fidelity to the Constitution, and the act
of installation was complete. The pro-
found silence of so great an assemblage
Of deeply concerned spectators, the GER
emony, so brief and SO simple, yet so
important in its consequences, national.
political, and personal, presented an i'm
cident and scene altogether American.
1t was the incident of the day which
probably made less impression than soma
others on American spectators, but was
precisely that which is most calculated
to attract the notice of foreigners. The
death of the President being announced.
a citizen, plainly attired, enters among
the assembled Representatives of the
Nation, walks up to the Clerks desk,
takes an oath on the Bible to support
the Constitution of the United States:
and, by this brief ceremony, he becomes.
in an instant Of time, invested with the
command of the whole military force of
a mighty empire, with the execution of
its laws and the administration of its
power. No one objects or dreams Of
objection; the act is acquiesced in as
thing of course, and with the submission
that would be rendered to law Of ma
ture. The sceptre of the People passed
into his hands as quietly and as quickly
as power of attorney could be acknowl-
edged before a justice of the peace. And
yet, ,hough the individual attracted, the
thing itself was hardly thought of in
connection with the consequences. In
some countries such transfer would
have cost streams Of blood, and shaken
the Government TO its very foundation.
And why is il not so here! Because ours
is Government of equal rights and
Government of laws; and because our
People are law-abiding and lawkeep.
ing People: because they know and feel
that their own laws are the restraints
which they themselves have placed on
their own passion; and that it is only; by
obeying these laws that their equal rights
can be maintained. May such ever be
their spirit! If so, we may well say Of
the Republic, not "esto perpetual" but
"esf perpetual

An leland Risem-Thc Last NIys-
terry.

The Lake Superior Journal of the Sd
inst, tells strange story OF the birth of
an island, near the southern shore
of Lake Superior, on the 18th of
June last. An eyewitness to the scene
"a man well known to the editor of the
Journal, thus describes it:
"About ii o'clock in the day of the
18th ult., my attention was directed to
slight agitation Of the water near the
shore, and very soon saw, with sur
prise the land suddenly rising out of the
water few rods from the shore, and
within stones throw of me. The shore
opposite was also raised up al the Same
time to height of some twelve feet"
The new island is round and about $50
feet in circumference, and is raised above
the water six feet, and the rise on the
beach, which. is wide at this place, is of
about the same size, and looks like
hillock of sand. The new island was
at FIRST covered with sand and pebbles like
the bottom of the lake, but the waves
have dashed over it since and washed il
down 10 black clay. The water was
about five feet deep where the island was
formed, and a boat had passed over
the very spot not five minutes before il
formation.
No agitation of the earth, or shock. or
noise, took place, and the cause must
have been much less powerful than the
internal commissions of the earth that usu-
ally accompany such phenomena.

WeN Said.-Gen. Shields lately said
a capital thing in the United States Sem
ate, and here it is:
"Sir. Congress has consumed more
time in talking, quarrelling, and xrang-
ling over these territorial acquisitions,
without doing anything for them than
your army took to conquer Mexico, dis
member that country and annex the ter.
ritories to the United States! So far as
my experience goes, | can vouch for it
that your soldiers perform their duty
much more. promptly and efficiently than
your statssmsn."

"This young America of ours is a

she was thirteen but now she is thirfy,
each State counting for year. She has
laid out her portion to good advantage and
she wants for herself and her growing
family, all the property she has. The
West is her farm, the East her market,
the North her workshop, and the South
her garden. She wants for her family,
New England to go to school in Ohio and
Wisconsin to practice agriculture, Ken

vide sugar for her table and cotton for
her cloths, California to get plenty of
gold, and New York 10 take care Of il.
