The Inangural-the Cabinet.

We publish to-day the Inaugural Address of Gen
Pierce, the present President of the United States,
delivered on the the 4th inst. 1t reached tialena,
and published in the Galena Advertiser Of the
9Th We received il on the 18th and in connection
With the Democrat it was laid before our city
subscribers in an extra, the next morning. being the
ninth day after j. was delivered in Wa.hington
The language OF the address is clear and concise,
and indicates that is the production OF clear head
guided by the dictates Of patriotic American heart
There is nothing sectional nor uLra--but every SEMI
ment is National, and shows strong devotion to
principle, and to the Constitution.
When connec. this address with the modest,
yet firm and judicous depoitn which has charac-
ter2cd the Ptesden, since he has been elected TO the
highest political POSITION can attain, by the al
most unanimous sufiagcs of fec and enlightened
people, have the proud satisfaction to feel tina,
the interests of the American Union, at home. and
rational influence abroad, has been entrusted TO
the guidance Of one enineny qualified TO WELD the
dcstiues Of great and powerful na,ioa
There is nothing yet which gives US, Officially ,
the cabinet selected by the President, although we
have every believe that our list rs correct
If that is the Cabinet, it is certainly strong one
it is composed of men who stand high in the nation
and without bowling to any of those peculiaries
of the great popular party of the country it is certainly
a Democratic Cabnet--foimcd of men who have ex-
hibed devotion not only to the name Of Dcmocl al,
but to pure Democratic principles.

TEMPERANCE IN MINNESOTA.

This Territory is well adapted TO the wants OF the
temperate and the intemperate, The Legislature at
its recent session refused to pass the restrictive law
consequently the East of The Mississippi the spr-
s are manifest, when, how, and where they please
On the West OF the Mississippi, by wise pr DIVISION
IN the treaties by which the Indian title was extin
guishcd, the trade and intercourse law is in ope, alton
and spiruous liquors OF all kinds are n, oh ibted m
der the seyetest tenaltics, This fact is noticed par
ticuiark, because II Is very impo,an, that every iu-
migrant should understand the matter, that he ma Y
locate to suit his prnpenstes. Those whose Gbet ~
is not confined in bottles, casks and decanters will
suffer far less Inconvenience hy making their homes
IN the country west Of the Mississippi, while all who
believe that potato whskey is the staff of life are n,
perfect liberty to remain East of the ''Big River"
RANDOM REMARKS ABOUT MINNESOTA.
In the hurried sketch Of Minnesota. above written.
truthful Int rough, and without method, we have
omitted to mention many facts which however dis
connected, Ought TO APPEAR in ycnel al view Of the
Territory. Among these may be mentioned the conn
try extending from the Mississippi, below the Mime
sofa, south t. the Iowa line The valley of the Can
non liver now contains many settlements, and is a
fertile agricultural region, we'll waiefed aud well
tnn',cred. Many towns have sprung into existence
lately, on the Mississippi within the new Pun chase.
Little Crow, Hastings, Red Wing, Wabash aw, Wi
mona. Minnesota City, Miuneowah, Mount Vernon.
Brownsville, and many other towns and villages have
surprised US by The apparently magical manner Of
their sprnsng INTO existance. IN many Places where
one year ago the hoop Of the Indian alone distw bed
the quiet, nay now be heard the hammer, the saw,
