The Know Nothing Governor Of Massachusetts,,
Mr.. Gardner, was inaugui ated yesterday, in pre-
sencs Of both branches Of the Legislature aud an
unusually large assemblage Of citizens. His address
ON the occasion was mainly devoted to an enuncia-
ton Of the principles Of the party by which he was
elected. We give it in another column. He said

attention concerns foreign population the duties
Of republicans towards them, and the dangers from
them. After abiding to the increase Of immigra-
ton, he says that large proportion Of the poverty
and crime from them, and that wise states
nanship should interfere within the limits Of the

nse every foreign language; to print all public docu
ments in the English tongue alone; to ordain that
all schools aided by the State shall the same Ian

ported political demagogues; to purify and ennoble
the elective franchise; to adopt carefully guarded
check list throughout the nation; to cultivate liv
rica; TO retain the Bible in our common schools; to
keep entire the separation Of church and State; to
natiouaize before we naturaize; and to educate be
lore either. In regard to the present depressed
dition of industry, he says our remedy is not 50
much in legislative enactments and tariffs as in cul
tivating feeling of patriotic nationality, and
united determination to encourage the skill and in
dustry Of the American laborer, by consuming the
