PRESIDENT PnRoEs SAuGURAL-Tbere are some
things good to be praised in the ordinary manner OF

Ii is thus that the inaugural of President Pierce
the mind 1t awakens the deepest emotion purified from
the violence OF passion, and charms only truly beau
full and proudly patriotic sentiments charm, the lover
of his country. 1t is noble document, and passages in it

fountains of whose heart will not be agilaed 10 their
