INAUGURAL ADDRESS
PRESIDENT BUCHANAN.
OF

PRESIDENT BUCHANAN.
FELLow CITrzENs-I appear before you
this day to take the solemn oath that win
faithfully execute the office Of President of
the United States, and will. to the best of
my ability, preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution Of the United States. In enter
ing upon this great office, must humbly
invoke the God Of our Fathers for wisdom
and fifmness to execute its high and respon-
sible duties i'm such manner IA to restore
harmony and the ancient friendship among
the people of the several States, and to pre-
serve 0nr free institutions throughout many
generations, Convinced that owe iny elec-
ton TO the inherent love Of the Constitution
and the Union which still animates the
hearts of the American people, let me earn
estly ask their powerful support in sustain
ing all Just measures calculated to perpet-
mite these, the richest political blessings
which Heaven has ever bestowed upon any
nation. .-.r-
'sHaving determined not TO become can
didate for reelection, shall have no motive
50 influence my conduct in administering the
government except The desire ably and faith
fully TO serve NY country, and to live in the
grateful memory Of my countrymen. We
have recently passed through Presidential
contest in which the passions Of our fellow
citizens were excited to the highest degree
by questionssof deep aud vital importance ;
butwhen the people proclaimed their will,
the tempest at once subsided, and all was
calm.
The voice Of the majority, speaking in the
manner prescribed by the Constitution, was
heard, and instant submission followed. Our
own country could alone have exhibited so
grand and striking a spectacle of the capac,
ity Of man for selfgovernneut. What a
happy conception then was il for Congress
to apply this simple rule, that the will Of
the majority shall govern to the settlement
ofthe question of domestic slavery in the
Territories, Congress is neither 10. legis,ate
slavery into any Territory or State, nor to
exclude it therefrom, bu. to leave the people
thereof perfectly free to form and regulate

There is no Heart, However Rude.
BY FINLEY JOHNSON.

There is no heart, however rude,
Within world like this,
But what can find some happy scenes
. To fill its depths with bliss; :.
TO shed abroad the light Of love
i Throughout its deepest cell;
To fnd within its chambers wide
.~ A place for love TO dwell.
As flowers scent the evening air
With sweet and fresh perfume;
AS they expand before the sun,
And i'll their beauty bloom;
So in the heart, however rude,
The light of love still gleams;
And by its rays gives peace to all
u Beneath It's sunny beams.
There is no heart, however loved
. BY sorrows crushing weight.
But what has felt within this life
. A far mrre happy state;
And which has memories of the past
70 love and call its own;
The joys of which they would not change
To fill monarch's throne.
Then there's no heart, however rude,
Within world like this,
But what can find some happy scenes
. 10 FL! its depths with bliss;
To take the sting from sorrows hour,
srs To drive dull care away;
Yea, even as the mornings dew
At the approach of day.

Character Better than Credit.

We often hear young men who have
small means. doefully contrasting their lo,
with that of rich mems sons. Yet the long
er we live, the more we arc convinced that
the old merchant was right, who said to us
when we began life, industry, my lad, is
better :han ingots of gold, and characte,
more valuable than credit" We could furn-
ish, if need were, from our own experience
a score Of illustrations to prove the truth Of
his remarks. In all branches OF business, in
all avocations, character, in the long run. is
the best capital. Says Poor Richard: The

What is true Of the young mechanic. is
true also Of the young merchant, or the
young lawyer. Old and sagacious firms
Will not long continue to give credit for
thousands of dollars when they see the pur.
chaser, if young man, driving fast horses
or hanging around drinking saloons
Clients will not intrust then cases TO those

MIR. WEBSTER on STYLE OF WRrTING.-
The following criticism is from one of the
posthumously published letters of Daniel
Webster:
1" a book might be written on this little
question When is effect produced by ge-
neralIzalion-when by particularization 2
AT least book m ght be filed with oppo-
site instances Of both kinds, from cur Eng.
Iish classics, especially the Scriptures, Shak.
speare and Milton. An accurate writer
should avoid generalities sometimes, not al
ways, but when 1t would require treatise
to expound. l rejoice to see one rhctorician
who will allow nothing to words but as they
are signs Of ideas. The rule is a good one,
to use no word which does not suggest an
idea, or modify some idea already suggested.
And this should lead writers 10 adopt spar
ingly the use Of such words as vast, amaz.
ing, astonishing, &c. For, What do they
meanG DIR. Watts-who, by the way, d.
not deem altogether a bad poet-somewhere
speaks of the flight of an angel rs being
With most amazing speed Bpt what All
idea is conveyed by the mode Of expression
What is amazing speedf 1t would amaze
us If we saw All oyster moving n mile n dav.
IL would not amaze us to SEQ greyhound
run a mile in n minute.
On the other hand, sec with what une.
qualled skill Milton represents both the dis
lance through which, and the spsed with
which, Mulciber fell from heaven:
From morn
To noon he fell; from noon to dewy eve,
A summers day, and with the setting sun,
DroPt from the zenith, like a falling star
What art is manifested IT, these few lines .
The object is to express great distance and
great velocity, neither Of which is capable of
very easy suggestion to the human mind.
We are told that the angel fell day, long
summers day The day is broken into fore
noon and afternoon, that the time may seem
protracted.
lie DOGS not reach the earth till sunset :;
ana then, to represent the velocity, he
dropt,' one Of the very best words in the
language to signify sudden and rapid fall,
and then comes simjle, like falling
star.'p
