INAUGURAL ADDRESS
PRESIDENT PIERCE.

My COUNTRYMEN 1T is n relief to feel
that no heart but my own can know the
personal regret and bitter sorrow over
which have been borne, to a position so
suitable for others rather than desirable
for myself
The circumstances under which l have
been called for limited period to preside
over the dcstinies of the Republic. fill me
with a profound sense of responsibility, but
with nothing like shrinking or apprehen-
sion.
repair to the post assigned me, not as
to one sought, but III obedience to the un.
solicited expression of your will-answcra
ble only for fearless, faithful and dill.
gent exercise of my best powers.
| sought TO be, and am, truly grateful
for the rare manifestation of the nations
confidence !; but this, SO far from tighten
ing my Obligations, only adds to their
weight. You have summoned me in nv
weakness, you must sustain me by your
strength.
When looking for the fufilment of rea-
sonable requirements, you will not be un-
mindful of the great changes which have
occurred, even within the last quarter Of q
century, and the consequent augmentation
and complexity of the duties imposed in
the administration both of our home and
foreign affairs.
Whether the elements of inherent force
in the republic have kept pace with her
unparalleled progression in territory, pop
alation and wealth, has been the subject
OF earnest thought and discussion on both
sides of the ocean. %.
Less than siXty-three years ago, the Ia
ther of his country made the (then recent)
accession Of the important State of North
Carolina, one of the subjects of lis special
congratulations. aa '"'"'. '. '#..I"
At that moment, however, when the
agitation consequent upon the Revolution
AIRY struggle had hardly subsidized when
we were just emerging from the week
nesses and embarrassments OF the confed-
Grafton, there was an evident consciousness
ofyigor equal to her great mission so wise
Iy and braycly fulfilled by our fathers.
1t was not presumptuous assurance,
but q calm faith sprung from clear view
Of the sources Of power in a movement
constituted like ours. 1t is no paradox to
say that although comparatively weak, the
new boru nation was intrinsically strong.
Inconsiderable in population and apparent
resources, it was upheld by broad and
intelligent comprehension ofrights, and an
all-preyadiug purpose 10 maintain them
stronger than armaments. Sea s,5,e
1t came FROM the furnace of the reyolu-
tion, tempered to the peeessities of the
times. The thoughts ofltbe men Of, that
day were as practical as their sentiments
were patriotic. They wasted no portion
Of their energies upon idle ard delnsiye
speculations. but wixh a firm and fearless
sep advanced beyond the governmental
faDdmafks; which hal hitherto circatn-

WASHINGTON, Sept. Goth, 1853
Clerks.

WASHINGTON, Sept Goth, 1858.
Editor of he Anti-Siarery Bugle;
Sir: am much pleased with your papor, as it
speaks the truth boldly and fearlessly. The Nat
Era here does pretty well, perhaps quito as much
so as is prudent just now. In few years how
ever, our colored fellow citizens will be strong
enough for some definite action. Every month
adds to their numbers, while slaves decrease, and
it cannot be very long before slavery will be abol-
ished by law in this District. The FREQ colored
people have churches and schools, and are fast ac-
cumuating property, and may in time, (if we have
members of Congress that will not sell their souls
to the slave drvers,) secure a strong influence
Every now and then an opportunity offers to free
some poor souls, who are willing to forogo the
natural love of their offspring for the blessing Of
freedom.
Some of our friends find, are for abolishinp
the constitution rather than not abolish slavery =
but where is the necessity for any such move p
That instrument expressly declares that "all men
are born free and equal" Now it really strikes
me that the only question to be determined, is
whether the negro be a man THAT once decided
in the affirmative and who doubts that IT, il would be
the true course to go into the slave States, take
out writ of habeas corpus and demand dis
charge of all the slaves under the constitution.
which is the law paramount in fact The higher ia,c.
would like to see Mclean or any other judge
refuse TO order the slave to be restored to freedom
under that sacred instrument. You shall hear
from me again ere long. X.
II our correspondent means TO assert that Judge
Mclean would not do the act of which he speaks.

PERSEVERANCE AND SUCCESS.

Some eight years ago, Mr.. John Jaw, of the
Episcopal Church, claimed admission as members
of the Annual Convention of that church, for the
delegates of a respectable colorcd church Of the
City of New York lie was rcpulsed, his PROPOSE
tion treated with contempt, and Mr.. Jay himself,
loaded with some of that insult which is the por-
tion of the colored man. and of all his faithful rep
rcsentatives and advocates, and which none know
better how to bestow, than some of the clergy and
church members of this country. But no contempt
or insult could discourage Mr.. Jay. Year after
year surely as the New York Episcopal Conven-
ton met, surely were the delegates of the st.
Philips Church present claiming their occlesasti-
cal rights, so surely Mr.. Jay present as their
advocate, and so surely were he and they repulsed
This year the scene has been re-enacted, but with
different result. Success has crowned his efforts
Mr. Jay perseverance, is model for imitation, as
his success cannot fail to encourage every despised
and faithful reiormcr.
Tho Tribune, says of it;
After patiently standing at the door Of the Con.
yention for soven years or more, the Episcopalian
flock in Centre street, have the qualification of see
ing their chosen representative admitted The vote
in their favor was remarkably large, and seoms To
Indicate that in practice at least Mr. Jaws often re-
lected amendment has been adopted Upon the re-
cognition and admission Of ST. Philips, tho Clergy
gave $50 ayes to Is nays and the laity 20 ayes 10
50 nays making clear majority of l6l out OF o57
votes This is "a gratifying evidence of liberal and
truly Christian feeling, on which We heartily con
gratullte the members Of the Convention and of
the Church they represent Aud the advocate of
unpopular truth may well take new heart from the
success Of Mr.. Jay in ease which seemed so hope
less.

he is certainly mistaken. The Higher Law is no
authority with him. or any other United States
Judge. Our friends habeas corpus plan won't
work in the slave states, till we can get some
what greater respect created for it north of Mason
and Dxon's line. We are Of the number who
would abolish the Constitution rather than slavery
shall last. If that was the alternative would not

CoLoNIzATIoN.--Thc Pennsylvania Freeman con-
tains an account of an enti-colonizaton meeting
held in Philadelphia, on the Both of August 1t
was designed TO eounteract the effects of the labors
of Rev. j. NJ. Pease and Elliot Cresson, who had
been lecturing on the subject in that region. Rob
ert Purvis, C.. l.. Remond Miss NJ. A. Shadd, Miss
7. Watkins and others participated in the discus
sons. A strong expression was given against the
purposes and influence Of the American Colonial
tion Society. Mr. Puryis "said though Africa was
the Garden of Eden, in comforts, &C., he could not
for moment countenance or trust the colonization
scheme, seeing that slay eholders aud their apeogsts
are among its most active supporters Their pre-
tended sympathy amounted to nothing more than
the simpc fact Of their desiring to get rid Of the
free colored people, that they might the more Sc
curely hold the slaves in bondage"
The Massachusetts, Wings have held Noniinat-
ing Convention. II nominated number of candi-
dates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, who
were present and declined. In consequence of
their number, the president congratulated the Com
venton on the spiitcf resignation which prevailed.
To get one to stick they finally hit upon the
happy cxpedcnt of nominating candidate who is
absent in Europe, and Of course could not resign
during the session of the Convention. Smart and
lucky are these Yankee Wings.

hold their monthly meeting in Rose street, and
who expelled the venerable Isaac T. Hooper,
'the man of thousand years, whose life was
characterized by charity and works Of mercy

they term their testimony of disownmcnt against
Rowland johnson, this city, who had been an ac-

him were based upon his cooperation with the
AntiSlavery, Temperance, and other reforms Of

COLONIZATION ANEcDoTE.-A correspondent
OF the Nep York Tribune, writing from "Down

agent of the Colonization Society and company
Of negroes, held some time since in Mobile, after
good deal had been said mixed blood arose,
