PHILADELPHIA, March z, 1861.
The world cannot be pleased, no matter
whether the work Of pleasing be undertaken by
on incoming or o retiring President. But Mr.
Lincoln has evidently made his mark in the great
work of pacifcstion. No such public Juror has
ever been seen in this quarter to get possession
Of an inaugural a. was witnessed on Monday
around the publication offices. BY this time 1t
has been thoroughly digested, and the general
verdict 10 one of approval. The defeated De-
mocracy complain less Of il than might be ex-
pected, while large portions Of it sanction 1t
without reservation. Its tone Of quiet but reso-
lutte 6rmness, proving that Republican principles
have suffered DO eclipse, indicate 10 all shat OF
last We have o live Government. The Demo-
cratic journals alone denounce it, as in duty
they are bound to undervslue everything which
does not issue from one Of their own tra'torous
functonaries. But the masses are abundanty satls-
fed. The Cabinet, moreover, gives equal sansiac-
ton. The powerful leadership Of The TRIBUNE I'D
shaping its components is clearly percePtible as
well as in keeping up the Republican Adniinisua'
which il attained to power. Tins faithful ut the
beginning, and thus continuing, the nation 10 SAFE
But the Inaugural cannot dissipate all the disturb.
ing elements in the political horizon, nor ut once
compel restoration Of prosperity. IL cannot re-
duce traitors to obedience. But ~ Dir. Chase pro-
claimed that we must have Inauguration first, and
adjustment afterward, and as we have had the
former 30 it is not unreasonable now to hope for the
latter. The public apprehension ia of war. 1t is

But meantime, the industry OF the country does

Outside of these there is far more cheerful leei'

marked influence in some manufacturing branches.
Men are going to work who month ago we're en-
tirely idle. The iron men are IN excellent spirits
and speak Of unmistakable evidences Of revival,
which, when it fairly sets in they are satisfied must
be permanent. This reacts on the vast coal interest,"

There is no longer an influx of frightened people

there was three months ago. But those VINO ala
