language of the Inaugural while il has marked an era
ia our national position abroad. has thrown new
protection around The person of every soouner in for

American citizenship. Not alone in this country but in
other countries both and people appear from

the new administration to power a new order OF things

all interested IN the operations OF government may
safely assume that the patriotic and statesman like
pledges Of the Preslden, will be fully and faithfully re-.

rit and which, in IFS general tone and character we cor
daily commend 10 the attention and approval of our
readers:
