EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE,
inauguration of General Pierce.

WAsHINGroN, j. c., March, 4, '5:;.
The g.and spectacle of inducing into office the
fourteenth President of the United States, took
place to-day in the presence of untold thousands
frorr all quarters OF the globe. The nation inves-
ted a man hitherto unknown to fame with great
which is either to be retained or forfeited by
his own acts for, thanks 10 the genius of our in
situations, tina! greatness cannot be perpetuated
by purple r1beS and gl:ttering crown, indepen-
dent of him who wears them To one accustom-
ed TO ponder the attending glories and revulsions
OF power, there is something inexpressably grand
in the thought that here where the greatest nation
earth is clothing her Chief Magistrate with the
high perogatives of his Office, that, despite the eff
forts at pomp and show of bad taste which apes
the trappings of royalty, the one hand, and the
extremes of agraranism on the other, the simple
woIdS franklin Pierce, swear TO perform the du-
ties of President of the United States to the best
of MY ability, is all the pledge that is given and
all the ceremony that attends the acquisition of SO
much power and greatness.
BY noon day, Pennsylvania Avenue from the
Presidents House to the Capitol presented an I'M
broken mass of moving humanity, in which to say
that all creation represented, would be Il
comprehensive mode of avoiding minute deScrip-
ton. The procession moved from Willard's Ho-
Tel, Gen. Pierces lodgings, in the following order:
The Clergy, Chief Marshalls and Aids; the Militia
ry, President Fillmore, President elect and SUITE
Committee of Arrangements of the Senate; For
eign Ministers, the Diplomatic corps, Members OF
Congress, Members OF the Cabinet, Governors of
States and members of Legislatures, Officers and
Soldiers ofthe Revolution and late wars, Officers
Of the Army and Navy, Corporate Authorities of
Washington and Georgetown, Jackson Democrat.
ic Association. Baltimore Empire Club, members
of Colleges, Societies and Citizens.
Gen. Pierce rode in the princely carriage fur
nisled by his friends of Boston. Seated beside
him was the Hon. H. Hamlin, and on the opposite
seat, President Fillmore and the Hon. lessee D.
Bright.
The Military, of which there was some 20 COM
panies, presented very imposing appearance
The Fort McHenry Flying Artillery, the Baltimore :
Law Guards and the Richmond Blues and Young
Guard were prominent fol- their fine appearance
Tie House of Representatives adjourned sine
die about noon. The procession reached the Cap
itoI al half past one, when the President elect ac-
companied by the Diplomatic Corps, Committee of
Arrangements, Heads of Departments, &C., enter
ed the Senate Chamber, and soon after appeared
on the eastern portico of the Capitol, where he
took his position surrounded by the Marshals, Su-
preme Court, Committees, President Fillmore,
Governors, Headsof Departments, members of the
administered TO the President elect by the Chief
Justice.
The President then delivered in clear, distinct

least, were received with much applause by the
assembled thousands. As the readers OF the III
tellgencer will have been provided with the Inau-
gural before this reaches you, defer all COM
mentS.
The crowd in Washington to-day is almost be-
yond precedent. Every hotel and private lodging
is crowded, and enormous prices are offered and
refused for accommodations. 1 am told by the
knowing ones that the majority of the crowd con-

a burlesque Military corps which paraded the
streets to-day, the subject of much merriment.
They were disguised in the most grotesque manner,
and negro bore huge target, the members hav-
ing no weapons, more formidable than long sticks!
The new Cabinet has doubtless been announced
to our readers ere this The Democracy seem gen
orally satisfied with it. So mote it be.

TIE Inaugural.

With the general tone of the inaugural address
of President Pierce we are pleased. We agree
fully with the President in the declaration that
sF"tite most animating encouragement and potent
appeal for freedom will be its own history its tr
ais ard its triumphs.' The President is evidently
under no apprehensions from extent of territory,
and clearly mnnifests the progressive principle, al
least, to prudent extent. He considers 'the ac-
QUESTION of certain possessions, not within our ju-
risdlction, emnently important for our protection
If not in the future essential, for the preservation
of The rights of commerce and the peace of the
world" What is 10 be the foreign policy of the
incoming administration is not perfectly clear, and
no direct indication is given of the particular OBJ
jects toward which this policy is to be extended
1t IS not declaration of opposition to the European
entertainments on our continent, but it is direct
declaration of affirmative action for the acquisition
of territory by the Administration of President
Pierce. To what extent this doctrine is to be ap-
piled we have no indications, and shall anxously
await the action of the administration. But the
acquisition of territory, by our government, IS
traught with one danger the slavery questionwhich
should be well considered before any action is Ia
ken committing the Government 10 any policy
which involves the acquisition of territory, for
surely II the teachings of experience are to be
Needed we may well look back and view with
re milling the deep chasmS over which we have
fortunately, once safely past, and while we may
rejoice at the past safety of our Union from It's
threatening evils, we may we'll pause, ere we again
embark on the sea OF troubles. Apart from this
danger, the acquisition of territory may under
many circumstances be desirable, but we wish
never again to see the slavery question a subject OF
discussion in our Federal Councils, for though we
but seldom look at the dark side of our prospects,
we should expect TO see results, flowing from
such agitation, which would far more than emperiI
our Union. We hope for the best, however, and
can safely say that the inaugural address is high
toned and able paper prestiging dignifed and
elevated administration. That it may be such no
one more sincerely desires than we do, and we are
more than pleased with the declaration of the
principles by which appointments to Office will be
regulated by tie present Administration. Practice
will make them perfect.

County Court.

The County Court has been in session for the past
Two days and has been mostly engaged with the
Grand Jury. There were quite number of in
dlctnents found by the Grand Jury, in all some ten
or twelve. The offences were generally Of small
kind such as petty larceny and assault and battery
Tie Court was occupied in the afternoon as
Court of Oyer and Terminer for the trial of a free
negro, charged with grand larceny, and when his
is disposed of will sit for some time as an ex-
aiming Court for the trial of the three men commit
te! before the last term, on charge of "picking
pockets, and also for the trial of two men charged
with passing counterfeit money. The jail of our
county is thickly peopIed at present and the prison
erS are many of them anxious for &c Jail delivery
The parties charged with felony, if not acquitted
by this Court, will be sent on to the next term OF
the Circuit Court, which commences its session on
the 18th day Of May next. The civil docket of the
