full account of the inaugural ceremonies, including
the valedetory address of the Hon L. NJ Pease, the
retiring governor and the inaugurals of Gov. Rum
ncls and the lieutenant governor, Hon. f. r. Lub-
book They are all we-written, statesmanlike pa
pers, aud abound in expressions of devotion to the
constitution the Union, and the rights of the States
Gov. Runnes takes occasion in the course OF his IN
augural to review the history of the slavery ques
ton, commencing with the Missouri controversy,
and ending with the Kansas difficulties. We have
agraph of his address
'There is left but reasonable hope for pre-
serving the Union and maintaining the rights of the
States In iand that is upon rigid adherence TO strict
construction of the federal constitution Our opponents
preach hostility TO institutions from every quarter
alike from the pulpit the musings With but single
exception and for the first time the southern States have
marched in line and congregatsd upon the platform of
the constitution there to fight the battle for their rights
under it. That platform is the in New England as
in Texas Its adherents there though overwhelmed by
numbers standing firmly to the doctrines it teaches
Let u.s. by thorough organization, offer them
Of our wamest sympathy and cordial coopera
ton IN support of the glorious 1t ia their mission to
follow That coinmends itself to confidence
because amid the vcssitudes and changes of half
tury it presents the only record unbemshed by muta
ton aud change II weakened by deections time has
invariably recovered for it than its lost strength If
occasional departures from the doctrine of strict constuc
ton have occurred truth and investigation have in
vaaby combatted the and established 1t still more
firmly in the minds Of the American people the only
true and reliable exponent of institutions The temp
ests passion and naticsm have assailed il hitherto
with no other effect than TO the rubbish with
which it encountered, and exhibit clearly the
patriotism and virtue of those who remain faithful to its
cause 1t is at that altar alone that the of the South
discovers the of his present and future security
and there alone that patriotism take her humble
abode hoping to perpeuate constitutional government
and preserve to futurty those model institutions alike

coy IIGnN,s MESSAGE

Gov. Lyon sent in his message to the Maryland
legislature on the sth inst. 1t is long and ably
written document and is confined, for the most part
to the discussion of questions Of State interests
alone. He condemns, in strong language, the pres
en banking system Of Maryland, disapproves of the
suspension policy, and suggests that the specie
basis of all banks of issue within the State should
be greatly enlarged" In connexion with this sub
lect he says
beg leave to express my cordial approval of the
suggestion contained in the recent report Of the present
Secretary of the Treasury of the United States that each
of the States nauguate policy in conformity with that
of the United States for the collection of its entire
in coin The advantages which would certainly flow from
such practice would be equally enjoyed by the govern
mcnt and the people II would tend to keep the specie
in the country in circulation and out of the iron custody
of the banks II would exert most salutsry influence
those institutions and prepare the for the grad
ua and early exclusion of bank paper of the minor de
nominations from circulation In short it would rapidly
establish specie currency and diuee in all the
of trade and most healthy and nvigorating
influence y

COMMERCIAL REFoRsIs IN FRANCE.

Reforms in the tariff regulations Of France pro-
gress gradually, though yet they have not even
touched the fundamental errors upon which the en-
tire structure of French commercial legislation has
rested, undisturbed and mistaken for so many ages
Every month or read in the official journal of
Paris one DEGREES relaxing the rigor of ex-
istng regulations totally abolishng others which
have either accomplished their temporary purposes
demonstrated their disastrous effects upon the in
dustry and commerce of the empire. The latest of
pears among the imperial DEGREES published in the
MontetT in the early part of last month which
enacts that export duties shall be suppressed ON
all articles except walnut-tree wood, mlstones
grindstones, and unprepared skins, on which con
siderable modification of the duties is ordered, and
except those hereinafter enumerated Unfortu-
naely, on CHANGING those hereinafter enumer-
ated found il to contain no less than sixty -four
the United States would feel any special interest In
the unfavored list are flag silk, pasteboard hats,
bottles in crystal glass empty full,) horns,
brandes, bark for tanning, of turpentine
fruits, mercery, modes, perfumery porcelain, dyed
silks. ordinary wines, &c. On many of these articles
the export duty is positively libel ON government
so eminently distinguished in European civilization
and that the rest has other effect than to OPP
press the industry and check the commerce of the
French empire.
