The Inauguration. and Message.
Mr. Lincoln was duly inaugurated on
the Ah- without any disturbance. The
amplest~ provisions we're made by General
Scott for any emergency thai nights arise.
Troops were stationed in various parts Of
the city. We are glad for the sake Of
the country hat everything went of
smoothly.
We have before as a telegraph copy Of
Mr.. Lincoln's message but 1t is 50 bum
gled up that we prefer to wait until next
week 10 place it before our readers.
The President says he does not consid-
er it necessary at present for him TO d-
cuss those matters Of administrae ,on about
which there is no special 1aziety or inter-
est. There is r. reasonable cause for
the SoulhSrn States to apprehend thai
their property, peace and security are TO
be endangered by the accession Of tie
Republican Administration. Congress
and the President are bound by their cath
Of Office TO faithfully execute the Fugitive
Slave Law. He takes the official oath
with no mental reservation and no purpose
10 cons,rue the Constitution and laws by
any hypocritical rules, and suggests that
ii will be much safer for all, both in Off
cial and private stations, to conform and
abide by all those acts which stand unre-
pealed, than to violate any Of them. He
holds that the Union was made to be per-
petual. But if viewed in the light Of
an association Of States, in the nature of
a contract merely. can it, as a contract,
be peaceably unmade unless by all the
parties who made it? No State, upon its
W mere motion, can get out.of the I'm
ion; resolves and ordinances to that effect
are legally void, and acts Of violence with
in any State against the authority Of the
U. S. are insurrectOnary or revolutionary.
He therefore considers, that the Union is
unbrokeu, and shall take care that the
laws of the Union be faithfully executed
in all the States. In doing this, there
need be no bloodshed or violence, and
there shall be none unless it be forced.
upon the national authority. The power
confded 10 him will be used to hold and
occupy the property of the government,
and collect duties on imports but Seyond
what will be necessary for these obyects.
there will be no using Of force against or,
among people anywhere. While the le.
gal right exists in4he government 10 en-
force its officers there will be no attempt
made to force Federal officers among the
people who object. The mails, unless re-
pealed, viii continue to be furnished in
all points Of the Union. The course of
the Administration, will be with a view
of a peaceful solution Of the national trou-
bles and the restoration of the fraternal
sympathies and affection. The President
after discerning on the rights and duties
of maioriiies and minoriues, says that he
understands that a proposed amendment
TO the Constitution has passed Congress,
TO the effect that the Federal government
shall never interfere with the domestic
institutions Of the States. Although he
holds that such a provision is now implied
in the Constitution, he has no objection 10
its being made express and ~irrevocable.
He concludes by an appeal to the people
and the lovers of the Union.
The message is regarded by Union
men Of all partiss as peaceful in its char
acter and correct in its positions.
Andrew johnson endorses it without
qualification. OF course the secessionists
call the message a war document and are
already e~ndeavoring to still further excite
the people. That old arch traitor John
Tyler is out in favor Of Virginia seeding
