been disappointed. There was no mail received
here north of Goldsborough on Friday morning.
We present below f;om the Enquirer of Thurs
day., brief Geographic account Of the scene, to-
gether with the heads of the Inaugural speech:
WAsAIsGroS, March .4.-The morn was ushered
in by the firing OF cannon and the ringing of bells
The ", aher has been delightful the whole day. The
streets were crowded and all the available balconies
and windows were thronged by persons of both sex-
es. The capitol and the grounds around the build
ing flied with an eager multitude, ali anxious
to obtain view Of the ceremonies of the day.
The procession started from the Presidents House
at noon, and reached the Capitol at l o'clock, p NJ
The procession is believed TO have been the hand
soonest and most extensive ever witnessed i'll WaSh-
ington. The display of military, clubs hremen, &c,
was very fine.
Mr. Buchanan d, livered his inaugural address fir,
platform at the Eastern porlicO OF the Capitol He
afterwards wen: into the Senate Chamber, where
the oath of Office administered to him and to
MIR. Breckenridge by Chief Justice fancy.
President Buchanan, in his inaugural, speaks of
the importance of restoration OF harmony among
the people OF the several States, and the preserva
ton of our free institutions; audes to the recent
exciting political contest; approves the Kansas Ne
braska act; says the surplus in the public treasury
should be appropriated to national objects that 10
more revenue should be collected than economi.
cal administration of public affairs requires. He
says modification Of the tariff is necessary he dep
recates the evils of disunion; says the public lands
should be preserved for actual settlers, both native
and foreign and that the rights of the States should
be respected. Tie shows the importance of a road
to the Pacific and believes that many difficulties
now existing will disappear when the best route is
ascertained. The United States ought to preserve
peace, commerce and friendship with all nations in
manner interfere with their affairs, unless impell.
ed by the law of selfpreservation We ac-
qurcd territory but by fair purchase by the VOL
untary admission of Texas into the Union. We
