A Democratic Executive.

Tomorrow, FRANKLIN PIERCE will be inaugu-
rated President of the United States. The pro-
gramme of the affair we publish in another col
'nmn. The ''fuss and parade usual on SO impor-
tant change, will not, we believe equal that
heretofore made, but the ceremonies will be
conducted in unostentatious and appropriate
manner. The usual ..Inauguration Ball" will
not take place, the jackson association" hay-
ing very properly, in Difference to the feelings
of the President elect, determined to give up
this enjoyment which generally closed the GER
emonies of the day. a large number of office
seekers, borers and visitors are in Washington,
and the crowd continues to increase, consequent
ly there will be no lack of lookers-on
Gen. Pierce goes to the Executive chair with
the fond hopes and sincere wishes of his party
friends for a successful economical and praise
worthy administration. His political opponents
seem to have laid aside the bitterness with which
they assailed him during the campaign, and say
that ''he will take hold of the National helm
with firm hand, having the chart of prece-
dence, experience and wise counsel before him. ,"
Since his electi n he has by his discreet, pru-
dent ami wise course of conduct, dispeled the
fears of his most inveterate political enemies.
and given them assurance doubly sure" that
he is eminently fitted, and admirably qualified,
to discharge the responsible duties of the office
IN manner highly creditable to himself and
honorable to the country.
He is regarded by of all parties with n
confidence in his incorruptibility, deep and
abiding faith in his honesty and irmness, that
bespeaks for him an energetic and wise admin
istration. He will prove himself equal to any
emergency, and shrink not from ..assuming the
responsibility" when the occasion requires it
he has reached the summit of all earthly great
ness through no agency of his own, by no base
or unworthy means, not having sought the Office
when nominated, he relied upon the good sense
and just discrimination of the American people,
in choosing between him and his opponent, con-
hdent of the righteousness of their verdict and
willing TO abide by their decision That deci-
sion was largely in his favor, and exhibited the
attachment of the masses to democratic princi-
pies. The hopes and welfare of Nation are
conhded to his care he has accepted the trust,
and his whole history indicates his peculiar
fitness to so discharge it as to increase the hap
plness and prosperity of the country, and still
stronger cement the bonds of Union between
the States

Then YOUR consciece will not upbraid you. and
