SYNOPSIS nE Mr.. BuCHANAN,s INAUGURAL

He began by appealing to the Almighty for
strength and wisdom TO carry out the administra~
ton Of the affairs OF the country to the advantage
| of the people. AS be had determined not 10 try
| to be elected a second time, his administration
should be conducted purely for the best interests Of
the whole country. He spoke Of his election as
! having been accomplished by those who were de-
sirous for the preservation of the Union. He con
graf ulated the country the fact that the agta-
taion OF slavery had almost entirely ceased; that il
for the FIRST time in twenty yearsthat the
try had arrived at peace on thatsubect. In refer
! ence to Kansas he declared il should be admitted
either 10 freedom or slavery, according to the Con-
stituliOn adopt d by the people; went into long
argument to show that that tie Ksnsas-Nebraska
bill is right in principle; that the equality Of the
States must be preserved; he added, however, that
slavery was lees important. practically, than some
other subjects before the American people.
The geographical parties to which the agitation
Of the slavery question has given BIRTH must die.
The spectacle which is now presented to our whole
people, submitting quietly to the will OF the ma
jority, expressed at the polls 10 the last election
was characteristic Of this and no other na,iou 80
he thought these geographical parties must die.
tie said corruption IN the Federal Government was
fatal TO its institutions, although in corrupt
try forms OF free institutions might remain, the
life was gone. His administration should arrive a,
disposal of public lands he declared must be put
stop to, so that our children may secure homes to
themselves and the brood of spectators aud job
beers who live upon them NAV be crushed The
laws in regard 10 naturalization should remain as
they are at pressEt, putting foreign and native
born citizens on fair democratic level. In regard
to the Pacific Railroad, such road may be made
by Congress in the shape Of military road, TO en-
able the Government TO extend protection to our
possessions the Pacific coast. Congress has
iull power to do this, aud be argued that it must
and should be done, that we might be prepared on
that coast for the emergency OF war. Our foreign
policy must be 10 cultivate peace aud good will to
all NATIONS, and st the time all entangIing al
Isnces must be avoided. This has been an axiom
OF our Government ever since the days OF WASH
ington. AID none dare row dispute its propriety
Ii has been the boast OF the United States that
none OF their territory has been acquired by war; as
has been the with most other nations, and this
must continue to be our policy. We must refuse
TO take any territory unless il be acquired by hon.
orsble means Our diplomatic relations must be
frank and honorable, aud oy pursuing such policy
we shall continue TO hold our position among the
great leading powers OF the world.
There was much applause at those portions
which referred to the equality Of States, the evils
geographical parties and naturalization laws.
