The Military mt the lrsnsuratisa.

The Military mt the luausuratieu.
The military display as the Inauguration seems
70 have been unusually splendid. Pennsylvania
avenue, for some distance, was . forest Of flags
and bayoness. whilst the inspiring sounds Of mar
tial music added new impressiveness to the specs
saele. Not small portion Of the military present
were regular soldiers and marines, whilst many
we're volunteers, who. inspired by patriotic anu
honorable motives had come from . consideraoie
distance TO do honors TO this grand national occA
sion. Nevertheless, much As the pageantry anu
beauty of the scene are hs;ghtenedby the military
feature IL does not altogether suit our oid IsSh-
toned republican tastes. Il reminds "a TOO s"iA's
ly of the martial displays Of European coronA''hS
and courts, displays, too in which we cannot pre-
tend to via either in numbers or equipments, WIKI
the great military powers of the old world. Inc
representatives OF foreign governments at WASH
,no,on are too much accustomed to dress, bayonet
and cannon to be impressed with any demonstra-
.ions we may make 10 that line upon an insugura-
ton oces sion. but they are not accustomed to the
sublime simplicity to the moral majesty of the
investiture of a citizen with the chief executive
power without the aid or even the presence of
an armed man. No one supposes that a single
bayone was necessary to secure the quiet transfer
of power to Mr.. Buchanan's hands, or to preserve
order among the populaee Would not the spec
.aele have possessed more moral grandeur if not
one had been PRESENT. We appreciate and honor
the motives of the citizen soldiery who attended,
but we cannot dismiss some dismal f,rebodings oil
day. when military accessories may be essen.ia
to such a scene instead of merely ornamental.
