Gen. Pierce's Inaugural.

We lay before our readers. this week, the In
augural Address of Franklin Pierce, the four
teenth President of the United States. Like
all we have seen emanating from his pen, it is
well written, his thoughts being expressed neatly,
tersey, and with clearness which puts us at
once fully into possession of his meaning.
We are gratitied that it has pleased the Pres
ident to speak SO explicitly in relation to all
which can be taken as foreshadowing the char
acter Of his future administration. Rampant
aud boastful Young America, lately somewhat
abashed by the rebukes administered in the Sen
ate, may now hold up her head for her schemes
Of unlimited annexation, and her not tange'y
doctrines, in the matter of the Old Worlds in
reference with any thing in the new one, are
now officially recognized by the Chief Magls-
trate of the Union. Hunkerism, for years racked
with doubts and alarms, lest her dogmas and
doings should not prevail and the Union be not
saved, may now breathe easier; the President
declares her to be in the right, and shows it to
be as much the Constitutional duty of Northern
freemen 10 catch negroes as it ever was to pay
their taxes or do military duty.
The President intends that his administra
ton shall leave no blot on our fair record" 1t
nay be so but it is pretty evident that he in
tends to take no especial pains to remove those
already placed upon it by the preceding admin
istration.
The President intimates his intention to guard
against GENERALIZATION, or the increase of the
Federal power, and then proceeds directly to
give his warmest appreciation to and urge the
strctest enforcement of law which was the
greatest stretch Of Federal power ever enacted
since the Alien and Sediton laws, and which
will require, as he must know, constantly IN
creasing degree of Capitalization to sustain it.
The whole address, indeed, plainly foreshad-
ows an iron rule against freedom, and one which
must necessarily soon and irretrevaby invest
our government with the very Capitalization
which the President processes to deprecate.

The New Cabinet.

The new Cabinet has been semi officially an
neunced by the organs of the President at Con-
cord, N H., and Washington, and submitted to
the Senate for confirmation. as follows:
Secretary Of Stats-WrLLrAM L. MARCY Of
New York.
| Secretary Of the Treasury GUTHRIE
of Kentucky.
Secretary Of the Lnterior-IsoBERT McCLEL-
LAND Of Michigan. Sc
Secretary Of War-JEFrERsoN DAVIS, of
Mississippi.
Secretary Of The Navy-JAMEs G. DoBBIN, of
North Carolina.
Postmaster GeneraI-JAMEs CAMPBELL, Of
Pennsy lvania.
Attorney General-CALEB CUSHING, of Mas
sachusetts.
Of these, Mr.. Marcy is the ablest, and for a
Compromise man, decenty- liberal.
Of Guthrie, Kentucky lawyer, some opinion
may be gathered from the fact that he was for
years bitter opponent of Henry Clay on &C
cuunt Of the leaning of the latter, occasionally,
towards Slavery emancipation!
Jefferson Davis is secessonist, and opposed
the Compromise because it did not do enough for
slavery!
Dobbin is a North Carolina Shareholder, which
constitutes, as far as we have yet been able
to learn, his chief recommendation for the
Office to which ne has been nominated.
McCleland Is the present Governor of Mich

Cass, being Of opinion that /" there was change
going OIL in the public mind about such things

against Van Buren,, in ls4s, and has since been
ranked among one Of the healthy organiza-
TONS"
Caleb Gushing is an apostate Wing, and one
of the chief Champions Of the Compromise in
New England
Campbell is a Roman Catholic, who, year be
fore last, was defeated as candidate for the
bench, in the popular elections of his State
on account Of his inability, or secarlan bigotry
it was a!'edged. But he is an influential Roman
Cutholic; and further this deponent fndeth

The FreeiDemooraoy and the New
Liquor Law.

We recently published an article from the pen
of E. d. Barber, OH the inexpediency OF making
the questions growing out of the Liquer Law
test in our party, and we now as cheerfully give
place to the following, taking somewhat differ
ent view of the subject Ed.
WHITE RIVER, Feb. %, 1853.
MR. EDIToR:-With the suggestions Of the
article in your paper from E. D. Barber. relative
to the course Free Democrats should pursue
upon the temperance question, cannot fully
concur. AIRY fears of a dsorganization Of the
party on account Of the action of Free Demo
Gratis upon this question. / think are groundless.
So long as the present evils and abuses growing
out of the institution of Slavery exist in the
body polite, so long will the Free Democratic
party continue as a matter of course. The men
of that party are men Of principle, acting from
profound conviction Of right, and will never
fail to assert their principles at oil proper times
Not so the two old parties. No cherished p7in-
cpe nterferes with their resolving themselves
into rum and ant-rum parties Let them do it.
1t will break party trammeIs, and leave men of
ani-slavery sympathies free to act with US at
some future day. This will be the inevitable
tendency of things. But are the Free Demo-
Gratis, more than three-iourths of whom, ven
ture to say, are friends of the new Liquor Law,
to fold their hands and stand neutral, while the
struggle of the rum power to repeal the law is
going on
Although " I am not whit behind the chief
est of" Free Democrats in my devotion to anti
slavery principles, think that the temperance
men of that party will not be true to themselves
unless they make the preservation Of the new
Law the paramount consideration in the elections
to the next Legislature. would incorporate NO
new article into the creed of the party, and |
would have, purely upon the old issues, State
ticket presented to the people for all the party to
unite upon. But divide them upon the election
of town representatives, thus concentrating the
vote upon both questions. Without doubt. the
new Law will be the chi ef issue in the next fall
elections, and would have it's friends of all
parties meet it directly, as its opponents surely
will. A SUBSCRIBER.

THE FEDERAL DEMocRAcY-Abouta year
since, the able Editor, then of the Hartford Re
publican, now of the Boston Commonwealth,
proposed to our party that from and after the 4th
Of July, 1852, we everywhere cali ourselves the
Free Democracy. Having ourself, among others,
seconded and followed his recommendation, we
now propose to him and others, that from and
after the 4th Of March. 1853, we call our oppo-
nents, now rapidly combining under the Pierce
flag, the FEDERAL DEMOCRACY, a desig-
nation of which, if we can read the signs of he
times, they will soon be emnently deserving.

CoNaREss, which adjourned on the 4tb, had
as much as they could do for several Of the last
days of the session to get through the usual ap-
preparation bills, without efectlng any other OBJ
ject. They did, however, effect another impor-
tant object, on the motion of Senator Chase !;
and this was an amendment to one of the appro-
priatlon bills, for the survey of the route for a
Railroad to the Pacifc-the bill for building the
Road having been defeated. This and the bill
for small coinage, passed some weeks since. are
perhaps the most important measures of the
session,
