The Inaugural.

We publish the Inaugural Address Of
President PIERCE, as we find it in the
Wheeling papers. 1t was telegraphed to
Wheeling and published there on the even
ing OF the 4,h. We have no other copies
than those from Wheeling, and were it
not for the anxiety Of the community to
see the Address, we would not publish it
until correct copy was received; the copy
from Wheeling being so full of errors as
to be scarcely ineligible. We shall, how
ever, re.publish it next week from a cor.
rect copy.

DaAR SIR:-The Code is now law.
From and after the first day of July the old
system of pleading aud the old forms will
be abolished. and plain, common sense
system takes their places. But while there
are many changes which are likely to
prove OF great advantage. there are others
which. it seems to me. will prove Of no ad.
vantage. do not favor the idea ihat par
ties shall verify their pleadings. 1t gives
rascal an unconsconable advantage
over an honest man. and enables him TO
swear the latter out Of court. for there is
little restraint; no per jury attaches in le.
gal point Of view; it is harmless swearing.
This, it seems TO me, cannot long remain
the law Of the land; and there are some
other features Of the Code that will neces.
sarly require changing.
The School bill still remains in the
House. A great effort is being made to
defeat it just now; but think this will not
be successful; the project is too important;
the friends OF common schools are too nu.
merous in that branch to permit the bill TO
be postponed.

Temoerance

At the last session Of the Grand Division. the
Addresses Of Bros. Doub and Deems, before
the Grand Division of North Carolina, were
ordered to be procured, and also of Rev. Mr..
Barnes Sermon, on the Liquor traffic. The
two former have been received, but the latter,
costing so much more than was anticipated,
has not been ordered. The plan Of distrihu-
ting these documents agreed upon by the
Grand Division, was to send three copies Of
each to the respective Divisions, and charge
them on their accounts with the Grand Scribe
go eents, which will just pay whatthe G. D.
appropriated for their purchase andcoyer the
expense Of prepayment Of postage.
We have thought it best to suggest to the
Divisions desiring copies Of these two Address
es, either to drop the Grand Scribe a letter
expressive of their willingness to acceie Il
the proposition of the G. D.; or make i
known in sending up their Returns at thu
close of the pr&e6t month. II this way
those desiring them will be supplied, while
none will complain Of being charged with al
ticles they did not order. Our experience a
Grand Scribe has convinced rs that this vii
be the most satisfactory manner Of distrihu
ting these excellent North Carolina Temper
ance works.
P.S. Divisions or individuals wishingm NOR
than three copies Of each, can lie supplied.
