inauguration of Lincoln.

We SUPPOSE Lincoln was inaugurated yes
terday I've write on Tuesday, and doubt not
but everything passed off quietly. But what
a sad spectacle is here presented, even SUD-
posing that there was no outbreak For the
first time in this great and free country a
Chief Magistrate takes the oath of office under
the protection of a standing army who are
drawn around him to defend him from the ap-
pretended violence ofthe mob and for the first
time IN eur history fifteen States of the Con-
federacy refuse to join in the rejoicings of the
occasions and for the first time on such an oc-
casion the representatives of seven States are
absent from the ceremonies, having embarked
in another and separate Government of their
own. They feel no interest in the occasion for
they do not acknowledge the newly crowned
ruler as their ruler or his country as their
country. He ascends the throne as a section
al man having sworn eternal and uncompro-
lnising war upon the property and interests of
one half of the kingdom. Let his friends and
dpe2ogists in the South ever remember that he
meant what he said when he uttered the de-
claration that "this country could not exist
part free and part slave-that it must either all
become free or all slave" They have already
some of them, predicted that his inaugural
would be mild and conservative Yes, we
doubt not but it will be, for that is part of
the policy by which the States are to be made
all free or all slave; they worked on that poll
cy during the campaign and it was that per-
suasive mldncss which elected him. But the
Inaugural will soon be before us and then we
can speak more at large.
P. S After writing the above yesterday we
got synopsis of the Inaugural by the freight
train at II o'clock which we issued in an Ex-
ira We received the Inaugural itself last
might by mail which we lay entire before our
readers this morning.
We have time to review it now but may
simply remark that it fails to give satfaction
to any one here as far as we have heard and
we think that now there is some chance of our
people all coming to platform. 1t is looked
on as c0ersio6 and the universal cry now is
Res'stanee to the TyrGnts Rule! More here

Newbern weekly progress., 1861-03-12
MORNING, MARCH s, 1861.
A Mistake.

The Standard in its election summary says:
"Craven has voted for the Union and against
convention"
This is wide of the mark, for Craven voted
for Convention by 549 majority. And again
if the Standard means to be understood as
saying that this county voted majority for
the candidates put forward by the Union meet
ing it commits another error. The first meet
ing, which nominated Messrs. Whitford and
Green, was called as Southern Rights meet
ing and all the voters of the county irrespec-
tive of party were invited to attend it. These
gentlemen were nominated, and believing them
to be in favor of reconstruction and restora-
ton of peace and harmony among all the States,
if possible and if not to withdraw North Caro-
lima and place her along side of the seeded
Southern States, we supported them, as did
majority of the people of the county. Since
the election is over however we have seen Mr..
Wadsworth whose name we urged before the
first meeting and who was afterwards nomi-
mated at the Union meeting, and from his own
frank and manly language we find that he oc-
cupies the same identical position in reference
to the duty of our State as that taken by
Messrs. Green and Whitford AS we objected
then to making the issue Union and Secession
during the canvass and before the election. so
we do now; for We cannot see how Mr. Wads-
worth can be called Union man and Messrs
Green and Whitford Secessionsts, when they
all occupy the same position. Nor would these
lines have been drawn and these distinctions
been made but for the object of gratifying
little party bitterness on both sides, for the
masses of the people of the county, of all par
ties, were averse to making party matter of
the election of delegates to the Convention.
For the benefit of the Standard "and other
enquiring friends we will state that Messrs
Green and Whitford, the delegates from Craven
to the Convention, were elected as Southern
Rights men, and that we understand their po-
ition to be this: While they look on the
Union as already dissolved and have but little
hope of reconstruction, they favor North
Carolina's doing everything that can be done
and exhausting all the means within her power
to bring about reconstruction of all the States
upon basis honorable to all sections and on
terms that will secure our rights and failing
in this they favor taking the State out of the
Union and connecting her destiny with that of
the other Southern States which have seeded
which may secedr IF the holding Of these
views make our delegates Union men then the
STANDARD is at liberty to call them so: We
affirm what we DO know when we say that
they and Mr.. Wadsworth the Union candidate
entertain the same views
