The Inaugural Address Of Cover

GPThe Inaugural Address Of Cover
nor Chase, which we publish, in part, in
this paper, prevents the record of many
other matters Of interest in our paper Of
this week. 1t is well written and able
document, containing the true democratic
doctrines on all the points to which refer
ence is made. Mr.. Chase is the same
man in the gubernalorial chair which he
was six years ago, when elected by dem
ocratic Legislature to represent the people
Of Ohio in The Senate Of the United
States, = and entertaining precisely the
same political views upon all subjects per-
tanning to National and State policy.
So far as the election Of the Governor
is concerned there has been no expression
upon the part Of the people adverse TO
sound democratic State policy. Upon
the currency and the tax questions, the
Wings and "Iron-head locolocos" had
run inlo opposite and disastrous extremes.
It's to be devoutly hoped that the Amer
lean Republican Legislature, with Gov.
Chase a! It's head, will occupy The happy
medium.

There is no organization of the House, nor

GOV. CHASE'S
INAUG URAL ADDRESS.
Delivered Jan. "A, 1865.

Fsllov Citizens Of the Senate
and Hoafe Of Representatives.:
1t has pleased the people of Ohio to
cali me to their service in The capacity Of
Governor of the Stale.
Before entering upon the discharge Of
the duties to which | am thus summoned,
l am required by the fundamental law TO
take an oath or affirmation to support
the Constitution of the United States and
Of this State, and to take also an oath Of
office.
In compliance with venerable usage,
not established, indeed, by the Constilu-
ton but recommended by the examples
of all my predecessors, now appear be.
fore you for the purpose of taking upon
myself the solemn obligations which the
Constitution imposes, and of declaring,
briefly, the general principles by which,
in my judgment, the conduct Of public
affairs should be regulated.
The Constitutional duty of communi-
eating to the General Assembly the con-
dition of the State, and of recommending
measures by him deemed expedient, de-
volved upon my predecessor, who has
accordingly laid before you the reports
of the several State officers, accompanied
by such recommendations as seemed to
him most likely to promote the public well
fare.
The duty which usage imposes upon
me, requires no detailed exposition, or
elaborate discussion.
In the discharge of that duty / shall
speak with difiidence, but with frankness
A profound sense of defective inlorma-
ton and limited ability will forbid pre-.
/ "
sumption; while. gratitude 10 The People,
as deep as it is fervent, for the generous
confidence which their suffrages evince,
will constrain me, irresistably, not only
to the best exertion of all my faculties in
their service, but TO the plainest declara
lion Of the views of public policy, which
inyestig alton and reflection have led m,
to adept subject always to the corrections
Of reason and experience.
If I may not hope for general concur
renee in these views, I may a, least ex
pect, from the intelligence and justice o
the people, candid consideration and i'm
partial judgment
The sovereignty OF the People is tn
Distinguishing characteristic of our Insti.
tutions. The People constitute The State
Government is nothing but the admins
tration Of the affairs Of the people, BY
1.-The agents Of the people, selected in sucl
manner aDd invested with such powers
as are best adapted, in their Judgment, tc
the security of their own rights and th'
advancement OF their own interests.
TO the successful working Of such insli
tutions two conditions are Indispensable
l'rhe first is, personal freedom; the SECOND
4 is official responsibility. Without per
sonal freedom, inviolabIy secured i
every individual, there may be commu
nifty Of privileged superiors and degraded
dependents; but there cannot be, in th'
true sense Of The word, a People. With
out responsibility, constantly exacted am
vigorously enforced, the servants Of lhl
people are bul too apt to become tbei
masters. Eternal vigilance. i i vel
said. is the price Of Liberty,

WAsHINcToN, Jan. l9.--Messrs. Quit
man and Grow made each lengthy speech,
one defending the South, and the other the
North, concerning the slavery question.
Mr.. Colfax gave the history Of the adop-
tion Of the plurality rule in lS49, saying
that, before its adoption, eight similar
propositions had come from the democrats,
and one from the wings. The democrats
then claimed to have the majority, but ow-
ing to q detection in their ranks could not
all unite upon o candidate for Speaker
The Republicans were now similarly stua-
ted, and should have the benefit of the rule.
The Democrats denounced the Wings as
bitterly then as they do the Republicans
now.
Mr.. Bocock said, if this was nero
squabble between two national parties
there could be no serious objection to the
adoption of the plurality rnle; but the old
Whig pcrty was as white as snow, compa-
red with The GRIN con guilt (speaking po-
Ilitically) ofthe Republican party: and
when he saw the adoption of the rule.likely
to result in the choice Of sectional cand-
date, he would be justified in standing here
till the crack Of doom, in resisting it.
Mr.. Savage expressed similar views.
/ Messrs. Humphrey Marshall and Harris,
of Illinois, in replying 20 Mr.. Grow, ear
nestly denied that Henry Clay had favored
the passage Of the Missouri restriction.
Mr.. Harris, in addition to the documents
referred to the testimony Of Gen. Jessup,
in support cf his position, saying that
Gen. JessuD was present at that time and
took notes.
MIR. Grow referred to the declaration of
! MIR. Clay himself, in the Senate in 1850,
to show that the latter favored the line Of
S6 deg. 30 min.
After some further debate, Mr.. Clngmon
offered resolution, that for one week, un-
less Speaker should be sooner elected, no
debate ahul be in order, except by unan-
nous consent. The resolution was adopt
ed by Is majority. House adjourned.
