PREsIDENT PIERCE g NAueuRAL. This document
strikes home the heartof the Amerc people IL
IS Just such an inaugural as they Were prepared
expect from him whom the democracy of the country
has made lis Chief Magistrate Federalism, as rep
resented by that Embodiment of old fogey respecta-
bility the National Intelligencer is startled we are
glad to see, at the boldness Of his sentiments. We
should have thought our labor durinu the late can
yass poorly expended, had the subject of our com.
mendation-the man Of our choice-in announcing
the principles which would guide his course failed
to give shock TO the of federalism, by repu
dating the un-AmericaD spirit which characterized
the administration of his predecessor in his dealings
with the authorities and mnions of other States.
Well might the outgoing officials hang their heads
and drop their eyes as Franklin Pierce, with face
klndllng with fire, and breast heavinp with patri.
otism, and voice swelling with high resolve, pro-
rnounced the following memorable words:
The rights which belong to US as nation
not alone to be regarded but those which pertain to
every citizen in his individual capacity at home and
abroad, must be scarcely maintained So long as he
can discern every star in its place upon that ensign
without wealth to purchase for him preferment,
title TO secure for him place, it will be his privilege,
and must be his acknowledged right, to stand un-
Dashed even in the presence Of princes, with proud
consciousness that he is himself one of nation of
soveregns and tfat he cannot, i'll legitimate pursuit,
wander SO far from home that the agent whom he
shall leave behind in the pace which / now occupy
will not see that rude hand of power tyranncal
passion is laid upon him with impun;ty. He MIST
realize that upon every and en- every soil, where
our enterprise may rghttuliy seek the protection of
our flag American citizenship is nviolabIe panopIy
for the security of American rights
Our word for it, there will be no Thrasher imprs-
onment, during the next four years. If there be- the
annexation OF Cuba will pay the penalty.
One other point: while giving more credit than
we to those who disposed of the question of
slavery by the Compromise, the President makes
remark which northern friend of the Union should
ever forget Let The period be remembered as
admontion, and not as encouragement, in any
ton of the Union, to make experiments where
periments are fraught with such fearful hazard as
much if he had said, let not the South's submits
sion TO enacments which she believed did her grev
iments upon her fobearance, by other aggressons
her rights-a sentiment which, if pended by
northern friends, will remove half the grounds upon
which we based our objections to the Compromise.

THE New Hampshire ELECTION. The result Of
the New Hampshire election will be hailed with Joy
the whole country. The granite Democracy,

them, have not disappointed public expectation.
They have acquitted themselves like men, ind made
their victory complete. Nc element is wanting. The
candidates they have elected are staunch democrats
able politicians, and high men, who will re-
jolce to give hearty support 10 the administra
ton. Hence, when did the democratic sons of New
Hampshire stand before the country with a holder,
sterner, more patriotic front Al home they have
democratic executive and Legislature; in Congress
they have entire democratic delegation; at the
head of the nation their avorte is receiving the
plaudits of the patriotism of the whole Union-for

NORTH CAROLINA COPPER.

NORTH CAROLINA COPPER. The New ork Frl-
bune of the Sd instant says:
g The hundred tons of copper advertised by the
North Carolina Copper Company were sold at auc-
ton to day by Mr.. Draper. The novel method of
disposng of this copper attracted considerable COM
petition, and believe all the smelling works in the
country were represented The bidding was spirit
ed, and the lot was eventually taken by the Revere
Works, Boston, at six per cent, equal to $50 per
ton the ore being about thirty per cent. of copper.
This sale therefore. produced $4,000, and the cop
per has been mined in the course of two months at
an expense of about 200. Such results as these
prove that mining may in this country be made as
profitable and legitimate enterprise as 1t is IN Eng
land.''

BLACKS IN THE WEST INDIES. The London
Times thus refers to the results of the emancipation
of Slaves in the British West India Islands "Our
legislation has been dictated by the presumed
sites of lhe African slave. After the Emancipation
Act, large charge assessed upon the colony in
aid of civil and religious institutions for the benefit of
the enfranchised negro, and it hoped those COL
ored subjects of the British Crown would soon be
assimilated to their fellow citizens. From all the
information which reaches us, no loss than from the
visible probabilities of the case, constrained
believe that these hopes have been falsiied The
negro has not acquired with his freedom any habits
of industry morality. His independence is little
better than that OF an uncaptured brute. Having
cepted few of the restraints of civilization, he is
amenable to few of it's necessities, and the wants of
his nature easily satisfied, that at the current
rate of wages he is called upon for nothing but tful
or desultory exertion. The blacks therefore, instead
of becoming intelligent husbandmen, have become
Migrants and squaers, and it is apPrehended that
with the failure of cultivation in the island, will
the failure of its resources for insructng or
controlling its population. So imminent does this
consummaton appear, that mem orals have been sign
ed by classes of colonial society hitherto standing
aloof from politics, and not only the bench and the
bar, but the bishop, clergy, and ministers of all de-
nominations in the island, without exceptions, have
recorded their conviction that in the absence of timely
relief, the religious and educaona institutions of the
island must be abandoned, and the of the
population retrograde TO barbarism.' -
