In our columns of to-day will be found the Inaugural Address of Presi- dent Pierce. Aside from it's inflated style. and vein of egotism which runs through it. it is clever document, and will no doubt be extolled ny the parti' zans of the new Administration as q model of State papers. We like its pa triotic tone. and have no wish to believe it's author insecere in giving expression to sentiments to which all lovers eftheir country will most heartily respond. I, is, however. an easy matter for politi- cians to talk of patriotism We had rather judge the man by his acts.

Our Candidate for Governor.

Henry Duston was born m Plymouth in this county his father. Thomas Dut' ton, was a carpenter. and afterwards a farmer in Watertown. Henry button labored on the farm in Water:own until about his eighteenth year, when he com> menced by bis own exertions to it him> self for college. He taught school in this town and in others. for the purpose of raising money to pay his tuition. He finally succeeded, and entered college, teaching school during vacations, to pro- vide funds to pay his way. with such aid as his father could lend. In this way he prosecuted his studies till he graduated with high honors. Immediately after he graduated he was chosen by the Faculty of Yale College. Tutor of Latin. in which capacity he served about two years. at the same time prosecuting the study of Law soon after, he was admitted to the Bar, ,and commenced practice at Newtown in Fairfield County. He has represented Newtown and Bridgeport in the General Assembly of this State; in ls49 he was chosen Senator from the New Haven District. by very large majority. In ls4s. he was appointed by the Legisla> ture. Chairman of the Committee to re> wise the Statute Laws of this State, and he has been called to fill many other offices of trust and honor; and in all of them has discharged with great ability and fidelity the duties imposed upon him. As lawyer. he has no superior in the State as a gentleman. kind, cour- teous and affable-he always was favor ite of the Bench and Bar, and enjoyed the friendship of all who knew him. By his own personal efforts, he has arisen to this high and distinguished position-he is emphatically self>;nade man-one of the people--and the people should em- brace the opportunity on the first Mon- day of April next, of ,ewarding one of her own sons. The State of Connsct ticut may well be proud of him. and Litchield County should be the first to do him honor. Electors of Litchfield County 1 will you be so ungrateful as to fors e. your own accomplished. honored son He now stands in position to be the Chief Magistrate of your State. will you not say by your verdict at the ballot box that his merits are appreciated? Com- pare his talents, his public and private character with Col. Seymour. and ascer> tain which IS the most competent to fill that high office?
 Mr. Dutton's private character is with out reproach in any one particular. and as unblemished as his success has been brilliant. The able Jurist-Juoge--l Counsellor Advocate Man-shall he I not receive that homage which is emf. nentIy ana conspicuously his own. He has been placed in nomination for Gov. ernor. by the mere act of his friends. and l not from any wish or desire of his. May 1 the reproach of his defeat not rest on the 1 Freemen of this, his native County.
