No state paper has ever issued from the
pen OF any President Of our day, which was
received by the people with livelier evil
dences Of approval and satisfaction, than
the Inaugural Address Of President Bu-
cHASAS. Every great interest Of the country
was touched upon, and touched upon 10 q
manner 50 discree:ly, and yet so frankly
and 80 justly, that the honest, sensible, con-
servative sentiment Of the country was salts
fed, not merely, but gra,ifed, in all the
heights and depths, and lengths and breadths,
of it, unsuspicious, credulous heart. And
this was natural. The President had en-

influence his conduct in administering the
government, except the desire ably and
faithfully to serve lis country, and to live
in the grateful memory of bis countrymen."

guaranteed by so much wisdom, honor, and
patriotism, took the hue and garb of proph-

ton OF the President S Inaugural delighted US
more than that in which be referred to our
almost boundless public domain. With the
eye Of an enlarged craftsmanship he survey
ed the millions upon millions Of rich acres
of wilderness lying between the Mississippi
and the Pacific, and counted their value,
not on the sordid basis of dollars and cents,
but as erich inheritances," which would
yield the comforts and blessings OF wealth
and happiness Ito our children, and our
children's children" as we'll as to Il e ex-
