Mr. l.imcOln's Inaugural.

'.e gave last week the telegraphc copy OF
the presidents inaugural message. AS
We anticipated az that time there were
some blunders, and some mixing of sentences
and paragraphs, though We believe there
were no very important errors. Yet to those
who heard it delivered, the Geographic copy
when read sounds quite unlike the inaugural
a., delivered b, Mr. Lincoln, for reasons
"ejch will appear The address was read
rom printed copy in a remarkably deliberate
and clear tone. There was time given to take
in and comprehend each sentence as deliver
ed. But what made the address peculiarly
striking was the emphasis and force given to
certain words which in the original were
printed in talic. but which We're necessarily
omitted in its transmission over the wires
For instance, the following eloquent para
graph is made much more eloquent and for
chile when read as indicated in the original
as We give below
in yom hands, my dissatisfied fellow
couEtrymen, and not in mine, is the momen-
tous issue of civil war. The government will
not assail gou. Iou can have no conflict
without yourselves being the aggressors-
]oE have no oatn registered in heaven to de-
stroy the government, while | shall have the
most solemn one to ireSeire. protect and de-
te.i it.
The inaugural is taken with immense salts
faction by the people North and West-in
fact none but Secessionsts being able 10 find
the least fault with it. and they object sim
PLY because in Mr. Lincoln We have q0re7n-
met. The fact tina, Senator Douglas fully
lndorSes the message IS creating good feeling
among the more conservative South, as well
as a, the North and West. 1t is now Union
or d;sunion, and Of course all loyal persons
array themselves with t.le Union and conse-
It's endeavors to sustain the government.
The n Y World. an independent paper
II the following paragraph speaks the sent-
ments of the people i'll regard to the inausu-
raj :
The more the inaugural is studied the
more general and profound is the satisfaction
il gives 1t is understood to convey MIR Lin
coins own sentiments. and to have ema-
mated from sound mind and an honest
heart.
Those who are most opposed to it can find
10 salient points of criticism in il. Its re-
lnarkable unity OF thought and tone compel
is acceptance or rejection as whole, and
drive ohjectors into the loosest of general
ties in It's condemnation The real objection.
which lies at the bottom of all complaints a.
gainst it, is simply that it announces the in
tention to carry on the government. If it
was necessary to say this-and how can it be
doubted then certainly it could not be
said less Extensively, or with greater calmness
and freedom from passion. If any fears ex-
listed that the president would be in any re-
Spect an Instrument in other hands, they are,
apprehend, pretty well dispersed. He does
his own thinking and acting, and, while he
will take counsel from his constitutional ad-
viserS, he will never shrink from the respon-
siblity of decision upon all measures of gov

THE CALEDON IA n.
BY NJ. STONE & co.
St. Johnsbury. Friday, Mar. Is. 1861.

The report that For, Sumter is to be evac-
uated creates considerable surprise on all
sides. 1t is not yet decided upon. but it is
quite generally believed that Maj. Anderson
will soon have orders to withdraw his forces.
Reinforced or evacuated, the great
wrong at Fort Sumter must rest with the adj
minstraton which has just run out. The
policy Ct the present administration is not to
precipitate conflict upon the country, but
rather to leave the disunionsts to die out.
1t is believed that Gen Scott strongly recon-
mends withdrawal of the garrison; and
prominent Southerners declare that if 1t is
done secession is dead Remarks at length
on this subject will be found elsewhere.
One of the most significant news items of
the past week is the endorsement of the poll
c, Of the new administration by Senator
Douglas, which he did in a speech in the
Senate week ago. He particularly com
mends the peace policy Of the government
which he says will greaty encourage the un
ion sentiment Of the country North anC
South

New Hampshire Election.

By an extra from the Statesman Office We
have pretty full returns of the election in
New Hampshire on Tuesday. Returns from
lO7 towns give the republican candidates a.
bout $500 majority. Their governor, all
three members of Congress, four of the FIVE
councillors, eight or nine of the twelve sena-
tors, and majority of the representatives
are elected, though the republican majority
is somewhat smaller than last year. Harry
Bingham and Douglas Robbins, two demo-
Gratis, are sent from Littleton; Henry o.
Kent of the Republican is one of the can
didates in Lancaster; Horace Duncan.
republican goes from Monroe. The follow
ing recapitulation shows the way the coun
ties went for governor:

UTILITY OF THE PEACE CoNFERENCE.-Under
tins head the Boston Journal Of the 18th has
an able article which reviews at length the
consequences upon the country Of the action
OF this body. 1t also administers gentle
and merlted rebuke to those republican pa
pers that made disparaging comments about
the Northern States that sent delegates to
the Peace Conference. We have room only
tor brief extract contained in the closing
paragraph:
"On the whole, then, We regard the Peace
Conference as one of the most fortunate in
strumentalities Of the times, and we think
great credit is due to those leading men at
the North who early perceived its utility, and
particularly to the governors of Vermont.
New Hampshire and Connecticut, who, in the
absence oflegislative cooperation and advice
took the responsibility of sending such cred
liable delegations to participate in its pro-
ceedings."

les went tor governor:
Who Get the Fat Offices.

1t is said that Mr. Crittenden will be nomi-
mated to the Senate for the vacancy in the
Supreme Court. Mr. Buchanan, just before
he closed his official career, nominated his
friend Mr. Black to fill that vacancy. but the
republicans in the Senate rejected him. Pres
ident Lincoln on Tuesday nominated Hon
Amos Tuck of New Hampshire for naval Of
ficer at Boston, John H. Goodrich for collect
or Of the SAME port, Willard Phillips tor col
lector at Salem, and Rufus Harmer for con-
sui at Frankfort-on the Maine Archibald
Williams as district judge of Kansas, and
VIM =. Dole as commissioner of Indian at
fairs, were confirmed by the Senate Tuesday.
\. b. Judd of Chicago, has been confirmed
as minister to Berlin, H. Kriessman as his
secretary of legation, and J. A. Kasson as
first assistant postmaster general. J. S. Pike
Of the \. Y. Tribune, is pushed for minister
TO Brussels. The struggle for the Boston
post office lies between DR. Charles A. Phelps
and Pangborn of the Atlas and Bee. Lieut.
Gov Trask is likely to be superintendent of
the Springfield armory. Carl Schurz is push
ed as minister to Sardinia, Cassius NJ. Clay
Tor the Spanish mission, and Tom. Corwin
has been nominated as minister to Mexico.
These are only few of the offices talked a.
bout and disposed Of every mail brings sor-
rowtul news to hundreds ofthe disappointed.
Blessed are those who don't expect anything
for they will not be disappointed.

A New PLAN FOR !ADJUsTMENT.-A friend
from neighborins town has conceived a
new and somewhat novel mode for the adj
Justment Of our national difficulties. 1t i.
that We should 'leave it out" to some of the
European powers. and that they appoint ar
bltrators (three or fve) who shall give the
case fair hearing and then decide it for the
nation. Such plan would preclude the ne
cessity of either section "backing down." and
is perhaps as feasible as any which has yet
been mentioned Of course it would net
suit the radicals of either section, but could
not the border states harmonic on such
plan? That is what our friend would like TO
enquire.

A FOOLISH WAGER LosT.-A man named
Edward Payson of Boston made very fool
Ssh bet, that if Lincoln was elected president,
he (Payson) would walk from Boston to
Washington within the ten days Immediately
preceding the 18th of March, and be present
at the inauguration. He left Boston as per
arrangement, accompanied by two men in a
carriage who were to see that he carried out
the stipulations of the bet 20 the letter. He
did not make as good time as he anticipated,
reaching Baltimore early the morning of the
18th, instead of the afternoon of the ID, as
was laid down in his timetable vet he was
confident, though very badly worn and IA
tigueG. He pressed forward and arrived at
Washington at II 2. NJ, just after the inau-
guratlon ceremonies were through, conse-
quently losing his wager. The distance trav-
eled was 453 miles. Much curiosity was
manifested along the route to see this peles-
TRAN. He wore cut three horses in his Jour
ney, and one of his attendants was obliged
to take the cars the last twenty-five miles
