nh. I,au1uraI Address.

We bad intended making some further expression
of opinion upon this important State paper, but find
The following editorial from the Richmond Enqairer
to compot so fully with own views that we give
it in place of anything from our own pen:
President Buchanan's Inaugural Address will be
found in extenso, in TO days issue OF the Enquirer
1t is plain PRACTICAL frank and fearless exposition
of his views on the salient subjects which are likely
10 engage the attention of his Administrations re-
iteration of the opinions and re affirmation OF the
principles with reference 10 which he was elected to
the Presidency. His sentiment of fidelity to the
Union .ust touch kindred chord in every true
American heart; his views of the question pertain
ing to territorial legislation mus; meet the approval
of every lover of law and order, every advocate of
the rights of the Staes and the sovereignty of the
people His allusion to the surplus revenue and TO
the legitimate mode of reducing it is in exact ac-
cordance with the liberal policy we had expected
him to prescribe With regard 10 The public lands,
and to strict construction of the Constitution, it
will be seen that he asseverates the sane conserva-
tive sentiments that characterized his public acts
In relation 10 the construction of a railroad to the
Pacific with the great and grievous incidents attend
ing so stupendous scheme of public improvement
we are compelled to declare that his arguments how
ever ingeniously and honestly advanced. are not in
accord with our constitutional views, steadily main
tanned by US on the subject. The inaugural FORE
shadows a foreign policy, such as we anticipated
conservative and respectful, but bold and loeral.
Mr. Buchanan now stan is before the American peo
pie above The aspersions of his enemies and unequv
ocalIy committed to the same principles and policy
as President of the United States, which he has
avowed as citizen and statesman

extension of civil and religious liberty throughout the
world.
Next in Importance to the maintenance of the con.
stltutioD and the Union is the duty of preserving the
government free from the tant even the SUSPICION
of corruption Public virtue is the vital spirit of re-
publics and history proves that when this has de-
cayed, and the love of money has usurped its place
although the folms Of free government may remain
for a season, the substance has departed forever
Our present financial condition is without paral.
lei in history No nation has ever before been EN-
barrassed from too large surplus in it's treasury
This almost necessarily gives birth to extravagant
legislation 1t produces wild schemes of expenditure
and begets race of Spectators and jobbers whose
1uty is exerted in contrving and promoting ex-
pedents to obtain public money. The purity of official
agents, whether rghtfulIy wrongfuy is suspected
and the character of the government suffers in the
estimation OF the people. This is in itself very
great evil.
The natural mode Of relief from this embarrass-
men is to appropriate the surplus in the treasury 10
great national Objects for which clear warrant can
be found in the constitution. Among these might
mention the extinguishment of The public Gebt, a
reasonable increase O. the navy, which is at present
Inadequate 10 the protection of vast tonnage ahoa
now greater than that of any other nation, as well as
to the defence OF our extended sea coast.
1t is beyond all question the true principle that no
revenue ought 10 be collected from the people
than the amount necessary deray the expenses Of
wise, economical, and efficient administration of the
government. To reach this point it was necessary
to resort to modification of the tariff, and this has
trust, been accomplished in such manner as to do
a. little injury as may have been practicable to our
