The Inaugural.

II seems to be thought matter of course
that every editor should comment upon the
Presidents inaugural. We had no room last
week, ard feel no inclination now. So We will
even consent to be out of the fashion, and con-
tent ourselves with repeating in the Presidents
own language, his intentions in regard to the
only great national question. A question by
the way, which unlike his predecessors, he is
not disposed to cover up or blink. His dcclar-
atoms on this subject need no comment. They
arc unequivocal and speak for themselves.-
We will only add that judging from the re-
marks of the press, the document seems almost
equally to please Wings and Democrats. Here
is the creed on which both these parties agree.
Plate and lIorod are friends when liberty is to
be crucifed:

Lecture Of Mrs. SeYtrantt.

On Friday evening Of last week, Mrs. G. Nj.
Severance, delivered lecture in the Town
Hall Of this place. Her subject" Humanity"
We have rarely listened to a more finished pro-
ducton. 1t was rich in thought, and gave ev-
dence of careful, thorough research. In her
introduction, Mrs. Severance briefly traced the
evidence that humanity had been steadily and
gradually progressing, and then proceeded to
illustrate the necessity Of still further progress
and improvement, especially in our social rela-
tons, and in the position occupied by woman.
Her argument was clear, compact, and forciblc.
Her illustrations were chaste, appropriate and
impressive, and her occasional satire well
mcrited. She made no attempt to play the
orator, but read her lecture with good taste
and judgment. The only criticisms we have
to make are, that notwithstanding her clear
voice and distinct enunciation, many Of her
audience were able TO hear only by painful lis
tcning. She would also have much more
deeply impressed her hearers, had she herself
seemed more to have kndled with her subject.
We see no better hope for the ultimate sue
day, than that based upon the welcome they
extend to woman, to labor as an equal for their
common interests. Woman controlling the
press, and swaying public mind from the pulpit
and the forum, brings to their aid, two import
ant elements of success. First, 1t doubles the
number Of laborers, and of such laborcrs as
are unsurpassed for earnestncss and devotion.
Second, it introduces a new element into the
field of influence. Heretofore, whatever has
been peculiarly woman's influence, has been
audience 1t has been ." shame for a woman
to speak" All know the magic of that inau-
eneo in the private social circle. II will not
DC loss in public, if freely admitted. And
when the influence of man and woman shall
have combined, to mould the style Of public
orutory, it will not only be more perfect as an
art, but its influence also far moro irresistible
! upon the public heart and life. Every way
thereiOrc,-as we are charmed with true elo.
/ quencc-as VIC vcnerate the truth-as We love
humanity-we bid woman joyful welcome tC
the labors Of the public speaker. We have M
! fears that so, she will loose her woman nature
! God has taken care Of that And woman viii
never cease to be its faithful guardian. w,
have full faith, that by so speaking, she will
rather, more fully dcvelope and happily direc
her brothers nature and her own. We vii
only add that Mrs. Severance by her good tast,
her talent her moral courage and bcnevo.
lence, is one of the women efficiently to helT
forward this great work and we bid her ant
oil her co-laborers..u hearty God speed.

The Fejec Islanders could not equal it.
What will the Homestead Journal, vindex,
and others, up to Charles Sumner, think now
about granting to such states the power to re-
turn fugitive slavesi That, if we understand
them. is the way they are going to bring about
emancipation under the present Constitution
They might just as well concedc the power to
Congress or the committee which prepared tho

This indignity is intensified by the fact that tho

A Reason.

A subscriber disseminating the Bugle. assigns
the following very satisfactory reason:
AZ am friend and always was
To the abolition cause,
But can never disobey
Our glorious nations laws.
Therefore please to discontinue imm mcdiatcly."
A good reason for haste. We recommend
all who intend to obey the slave laws of this
country, to " discontinue immediately" But
all be sure to do as this woman did, (for truth
to say, she is woman,) pay up. Had it been
man who discontinued for such purpose, he
would probably have forgot to pay.

Increase in number
be as follows :

Increase in number 4sl, ,425
Thus a large increase is shown over the bus
mess of last year, but this excess is reduced by
a falling off in weight. This in some places
amounts to twelve or fifteen per cent? in others
there is no decreases but putting all together,
the average decrease is shown to be about ten
pounds to the hog, or five per cent. This de.
crease in the aggregate number Of hogs given
above is equal to 100000 head, which reduces
the excess to 3Sl,425 head. There are a few
points still to be heard from west Of this, but
no return which can como in will make any
material difference in the above aggregate.
As nearly as can DO ascertaincd, the number
of Hogs put up in Cincinnati has been equal,
for four or five years, to one. fifth Of the whole
number packed in the West, but previous to
that time the proportion was considerably great
er in favor of this city. The business of pack
ing Pork is extending eastward, and is increasing
fast at points adjacent to the district of country
where hogs can be produced to tho best advan-
tage. The business, as branch of commerce,
is deemed of so much importance that the

The Pork Trade Of the West.
crrcrrrArr. March sth. 1853.

CINCINNATI, March Sth, 1853.
To the Editor Of the Base have taken notice
in some Of my previous letters Of the statistics
of the Pork business published here annually
for some years past The production Of Pork
has become so much matter of Importance to
farmers and merchants, and Cincinnati has
been to such great extent its centre, so far as
the amount Of business transacted is concerned,
propose to go more fully into the details of
the statistics Of this branch of traffic than 1
have before done. Much pains have been taken
for some years past to collect in this city, and
from all points in the West where Pork has
been packed, correct statistics as to the amount
of the business; and, in the last two years,
this has been done in much moro full end
satisfactory manner than formerly. The tables
for the season just closed have been published,
giving the number of Hogs packed at fifty points
in Ohio; ffty-iive in Indiana; thirty seven
in Illinois and at the principle towns in Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa and Michigan.
These have been compiled with great care by
Mr.. Richard Smith, proprietor of the Cincin-
natl Prices Current, one of the very best Com
mercnl sheets in the Union. The summary
shows the number Of hogs killed and packed

Mn. IRA ALDRrDoE.-Some weeks since We
noticed the honors conferred on this Colorcd
American Actor, by the king of Prussia. But
we must have copied our notice from some pro.
slavery print, which to gave the honor of our
Democratic Yankee Nation, suppressed the fol-
lowing important part OF the transaction.
"Mr. Aldridgc, after performing in the pres
ence of the Royal family, was called out after
the curtain fell, ana recited an epilogue in En-
glish poetry, written by himself, in which he
alluded to the ostracism which weighs on his
color; this piece was greatly applauded, and
the next day the King sent hun the great gold
medal of civil merit"
Such tales as Mr.. Aldridge can tell, ave no
doubt feast of fat things to the kings, and ty-
rants Of tho whole earth. Nevertheless we
don't quite agree with the wise and courageous
George Graham of the Magazine, that wo had
better curse and silence all the Aldridgos and
Uncle Toms for telling their tales. But we
rather rejoice that they are rewarded, and in
vite all the Kings, Emperors, Cars, Grand
Turks, and all their servile retinues, to concen-
trate their scorn upon tho hypocrisy and hollow
pretence of this nation. By so doing, they
will the sooner end all despotism-ours and
theirs.

ANOTHER CoMPRoMtsE.-S Some time since
an officer was dispatched to Maryland by the
authority of Pennsylvania, with the rcquisition
for NJ Creary and Merit, the kidnappers of the
Parker girls. Governor Lowe refused to sur
render them, on the plea that the Pcnnsylva-
mia Counsel, who maraged the rescue case,
which resulted in the freedom Of these girls,
had entered into engagement with the Mary
land Counsel, tha; these kidnappers should not
DO prosecuted Immunity to these guilty,
murderous wretchcs, was the price stipulated for
the release Of their victims. This was certainly
one of tho most shameful bargains ever made,
besides being utterly unauthorized and need
leSs, for never was any point so overwhelming
ly established by testimony, as the freedom OF
these girls, and clearly by the same testimony
was the guilt of Mc'Creary, manifest. The
Pennsylvania Freeman expresses its appre-
hcnsion that the compromise was really made.
And who knows but this was part of the price
paid by Mr. Campbell Of Pa. for his admission
to the Cabinet He was we believe one of tho
principcl counsel from Pa.

The business in Louisville has increased greatly
in proportion to the more general attention paid
to the raising of hogs ini Kentucky and nearly all
the trfic centers it Louisville, very little,
comparatively, being done by the other towns
in that State.
Since Rail Road communication has been
opened with the East, New York has entered
the field, and during last SUNNI or a considerable
number of live hogs wore shipped to the East
by that channel. The experiment is about to
be tried in New York of doing a ,Ointer packing
business, which it is believed by the best Judges
here ust fail so far ns it is intended to tranler
the business at tina. season from the West to
to the East. The difficulty Of transferring the
immense number of hogs raised in the West,
with our present Rail Road facilities, in the
short time cmbrced in the season the certainty
Of many perishing in the cold weather; the loss
in weight, and the expense of doing business
in New York, which is much higher than here !;
will operate to prevent the Pork business there
from being carried on to anything like the cx-
tent it is in the West. Besides, we are assured
that Western packed meat can be shipped to
the East and sold for less than the first cost of
that packed there. There is a market, too,
here for all parts of the hog. The head, feet,
tails and hair are sold at good prices, and for
the hair and off-falls our slaug ghtercrs pay from
twenty-five to fifty cents per hog and do the
killing besides.
have before me statement showing the
extreme and average prices of hogs in this mar
ket on each day of the season, and the average
for each of the last four years in this place.

Thus it seems the prices have been gradually
going up, which is for the advantage of the
producer, as the cost Of raising the hog has
not increased in the same proportion. This is
the only season in which the ruling price has
been above 5000. The business is destined to
go on. So many both of producers and pack
ers have Of late years made money by it,
that even should some retire from the business
