The Inaugural.

Gov. JOHNSON and Hon. w. B. STOKES give 1nen
unqualified approval to Mr.. LINcoIN's lnugaurAl IN
speakinc of the enforcement of the Fugitive slave
Law Mr.. LINCOLN says

the Constitution which guarantees tnat tne ciiIehs

This il one of Mr.. LMcoLS's questions and means
that in his opinion Congress ought TO provide oy

s,itution which guarantees" according to Mr. LIN
CORY and the Black Republican party to the free ne

qualified approval to this doctrine they viii have TO

deeply imbued with the principles of Federalism
that they think the authorities at Washington COM
petent to wipe out all State laws According to
our code. all offences which capital when com
nitted by slaves are also capital when committed
BY free negroes. Again, a white citizen of Massa-
chusetts or any other State may come and reside in
Tennessee, but we expressly declare by law that .
free negro from Massachusetts,, although citizen Of
Massachusetts,, shall not be entitled to any of the
privileges and immunities of white citizens but that
if they come to reside here and remain twenty days
they shall be cOnfnedin the penitentary from one to
two years. Mr.. LINSoIN thinks this very wrong and
that Congress ought to provide by law for the
enforcement of that clause in the Constitution
which he thinks entities the citizen of Massachusetts,
whether black or white to all the privileges and i'm
munties of citizens in the severalStates Our law does
not permit any free negro from Massachusetts, or any
where else to keep any grocery, or tipping house

Mr.. LINCOLN and his party think these discrimina'
tions, madeby Tennessee and the other Southern
States against the negro citizens Of the North exceed
ingy viIlainous, and ought to be provided against
by law Of Congress. We desire those who approve
Mr.. LNooIN's inaugural to show the people of Ten
in what they would be benefited by repeating
their laws against free negroes and giving those
that have been made. citizens of Northern States

An ACORN FR0k THE TOMB OF WASHINGTON PLANTED
IN RUSSIA BY THE EMPERoR.-on the 22d of February,
Governor PIcKENs, of South Carolina, (who was
recently Minister to Russia,) made short address
to military company in Charleston, in the course
of which be made the following happy allusion to
the universal respect for Gen. WASHINGTON:
remember, while in distant court of Europe,
and at the most despotc of all governments that on
a memorable occasion visited the magnificent gar
dens that surround Peterhof, near St. Petersburg.
The gardens an1 grounds were dedicated to the en-
joyment and peaceful pursuits OF the greatest and
most brilliant of courts. On remote island OF
these magnificent grounds that had been set aside
for the private enjoyment and private walks of the
Emperor and Empress. tree was pointed out 70 me
In that garden, cultivated by particular and de-
voted hands, surrounded by wire-wicket work, and
flowers Furnishing all around it. There stood on
one branch of the tree large breastplate, and on
one side of that plate, in German. and on the other
side in Slavonle written This tree was plant
ed in 1888, by Nicholas, from an aeon that grew
near the tomb of the great Washington" This
was the inscription upon that tree placed there by
one of the most absolute rulers that ever swayed
the sceptre of empire. And yet in his private, Sc
cluded gardens he paid this deep and heartfelt tri-
butte to the memory of the greatest and purest man
the world ever saw.
He did not take an acorn from near the tomb of
| the great Elizabeth nor did he take it from the
garden of the TuIlleries, grown in the time Of
Louis the XIV nor did he take 1t from the tomb
of the great Napoleon did he take 1t from the
| garden of the Caesars, near Rome but he took an
acorn from the tomb of pure and mighty man
in the wilds CT America, who planted the seeds of
q government consecrated to the freedom and IN
dependence of nations, whose every principle was
directly at war with the principles of its own gov
eminent; and yet great were the virtues and
! integrity of Washington that even this mighty
monarch, in private and secret, paid to him his
heartfelt and deep tribute. The tree was watered
and cultivated with more than any of the
trees in that garden. 1t was ourishing and green,
and trust in God it will continue to flourish green
and fresh until its branches shall oVerspread the
| civilized world.

barbarian life, even they converse OF the mighty

portion Of the world that has not heard OF his name
and love and admire his great and manly truthful
ness and virtue

Mr.. LINCOLN, in his inaugural, says that he never
had any purpose to interfere directly or ipd, ecy
with the institution of slavery in the States where
at exists, and quotes from the Chicago platform to
prove it. Waving the fact that the incessant agi.s
ton of the slavery question for twenty years by the
Abolitionists, is desired and designed to weaken
slavery in the States, and that the exclusion
of the Shareholder from the Territories &c
calculated and designed to hem It in
and destroy it; why has Mr.. LINCOLN talked about
assailing the institution until the public mind shall
rest secure in the belief of its ultimate extinction,
Why has he repeatedly declared that he that would
be no slave must own no slave? Why has he declared
the equality of theIraces politically? WhyEdoes he
recommend that law bepsssed to carry out the
Constitution so to introduce free negroes into the
South on an equality with citizens? Is this no in
reference direct or indirect, with slavery in the
States.
