he was child five yoars of age, and while the
General was passing through the street, ac-

Inauguration of President Pierce.

We see by the interesting telegraphc intelligence,
reported for the associated city press of Charleston
that FRANKLIN PIERCE, of New Hampshire, was inau.
grratcd on Friday last, at Washington City, as Presi
dent of the United States The number present, is
stated, exceeded that of any former similar event.
Cen PIERCE goes into office under peculiar and plea
sing is case on record OF late,
where man has been elevated to the highest ccc in
the world, with such singular unanmity. We hope
and believe that President PIERCE will fulfil his obli'
cations, and make himself worthy Of the high vocation
whercunto he has been called
The following is said to embrace the substance ot
the Inaugural Address, which is all that we had rea-
son to expect:
The policy of the administration he said will
not be controlled by timid forebodings of evil
from the expansion Of our territory. 1t is not
to be disguised that the acquisition of certain
possessions not within the jurisdiction Of the
United States are important, if not essential,
for the preservation Of our commercial rights,
and the peace oftIe world. Should they, how
ever, be obtained, it will be in no gfasplng
spirit, but in manner consistent with the strict.
est national faith.
Foreign affairs, he stated, will be marked by
ust and pacific views, and he re-aftirms the
doctrine in the strongest terms.
Relative to official appointments, he says,
that the Administration cannot be expected to
retain any persons in their official positions
who are laboring under the influence of politi-
cal hostility and partzan prejudice TO it, when
it should expect cordial cooperation, having no
engagements to ratify, no rewards to bestow,
no resentments to remember, no personal wish.
es to consult, he, will be governed in his >elec.
tons by no motive that does not contemplate
the efficient discharge of his duties to be per.
formed, and the best interests of the country
requiring in every instance integrity and Ca
pacty, to prevent peculation.
lie considers the preservation of the Union
as the grand point, dear to every American
heart. Blot out one star and the whole will
be dimmed.
He believes that involuntary servitude, as it
exists, is recognized by the Constitution that
it stands like any other admitted right, and
that States where il exists, are entitled to efti-
cent remedies to enforce all Constitutional pro.
visions.
He approves the Compromise measures, and
says that they arc strictly Constitutional, and
to be unhesitatingly carried into effect. lie
hopes, however, that the question is at rest,
and that no sectional or ambitious, or fanatIcal
excitement, may again threaten the durability
of our institutions.

Discomfort IN EURorE.-An American gen.
tleman, writing to the Boston Journal from
Paris, confirms what every intelligent traveller in
Europe must have observed. He says:
"ln Austria, despotislu is doing its work by
rushing matters too far, She is preparing trouble
for herself in the future. and that future not a
very remote one. affirm, as the result Of per-
sonaI knowledge, that there is not province of
Austria that is not discontented. Italy is but
one mass of conspracics, and the beheading of a
dozen conspirators but calls into existence ten
times that number. Hungary is quiet, but is
only the quiet of a temporary exhaustion, rem
dcred more necessary by the hordes Of the Gar
still lowering on her borders. The sclayonic
provinces, the supporters of Austria in her strug-
gle with Hungary, are mumurng. Bohemia
is Disconnected; and the Tyroisc-that noble
people, whose patriotism and whose courage have
become proverbial-who, in 1s4s, received with
outstretchcd arms the Emperor, flying from his
capital-arc now ready to join any movement
which shall present a prospect Of freeing them
from the enormous burdens under which they
arc groaning.

lection. Now we see no objection, abstractly
the above named addition. The salaries Of
our heads of departments are inadequate to the
scale of living in Washington, looking to the
official rank of these functionaries. But it looks
partial and inequitable that the salaries of the
higher officers Of government should be raised
and those who occupy the subordinate depart.
ments entirely overlooked If there are, good
reasons, to give increased recompense to one
class, there is equally valid reasons for higher
remuneration to the others.
The argument for increase must be sought
in the reduced value Of money and consequent
elevation Of prices Public salaries generally
require revision. The poor clerk in an official
post, without influence, is made to sustain the
burthen of increased house rent, and higher
rates of living, generally, while those who oc-
cupy the elevated stations, many of whom have
large private fortunes, ore relieved of this bur-
then. The aborer in all graduations Of the
public service is worthy Of his hire. There can
be no justice, no equality, in relieving the head
of the department., while his clerks are over
looked, who if less anxiousy filled with the
cares, arc often more necessarily occupied with
the labours of Office.
| There should have been no steps made IN
this direction by Congress, unless the whole
sphere Of public remuneration was traversed
A measure OF this kind should be comprchcn-
| sire The scale ofincrease should embrace the
entire circle of official services. The elevation
of salary to one class, and that the most inilu-
entail, is not only wanting in bcnefcence-it
is inequitable in being partial. When it was
proposed to oprovidc official residences at Wash
ington for the heads Of departments, this was 4
form ufrcmuncratiun that had less the appcaran-
ceof preference and partnIty than an angmenta
ton Of salary, which it must be supposed, was
intended as money equivalent. The ground
Of tie increase must have been that rise Of real
estate and rcus in Washington which has Ia
ken place in other cities OF the United States.
Now, as this is Il cause Of general operation
we presume that subordinate functonaries
must make their retreat into novels, if their an
nual rcconpcnse does not cover their cxpendi.
lures.
The most equitable course then would have
been to DEFER to the next session of Congress,
the subject of remuneration of public function
aries. A committee then could have made 4
comprehensive investigation into the whole sub
iuct-mattcr; and made scale Of increase, if
any were deemed necessary, embracing on
equitable principles, the entire body of official
persons, in each and every branch of the pub
