EE Mr.. LINCoLN's Inauguration pass
cd off quietly and peaceably and with no
more excitement than is usually mani
tested on such occasions. His inaugural
address which we publish to-day is, to say
the least, peculiar document and is ap
plauded, condemned, denominated man.
ly, statesman-like, firm, wishy-washy,
warlike, judicious, silly, sensible, or fat,
according to the temper Of those who
critisise it. In our humble opinion it is
more conservative than we had reason to
expect considering The cabinet avisers
with which the President has seen fit to
surround himself, and, in that portion
wherein he promises the faithful execu-
ton Of the fugitive slave law he certain.
ly gives the cold shoulder to that absurd
dogma entertained and advocated by
Republicans in this section that slavery
is not recognized by the constitution of
the United States. We fail to discover
anything of so warlike character in
the message as some are disposed to cred,
it it with, and it is difficult to perceive
how, under the circumstances, less could
have been said or what is said could have
been more properly and carefully worded
l., as the PsanSylvaaian thinks-."a tigers
claw concealed under the fur of Seward
ism" is apparent in the document, it is
so effectually concealed that none but
those having particular penchant fol
claws can find evidence of such belliger
ent significance. He will hold the public
property, collect the revenues, enforce
the laws in proper time, if things are al
right and "nobody is suffering" unless
he changes his mind, and upon that con
sideration he very wisely concludes "noth
ing valuable can be lost by taking time.

where "the rich soil, the pure air, the line
views" have so many attractions for the
"poor man of moderate means &c.-
This second Eden which the Dr.. has
created is simply myth. "The West"
TO which he alludes is "playel out" END
many Michigan men who formerly emf
grated to the rich prairies, the smiling
woodlands, the noble bluffs aud luxuriant
bottom lands of Illinois, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa, Kansas aud Nebraska, have
returned to spend their lays in Michigan

Of soil, climate, product ons aud induce
men,s for men of moderate means, she is
unequalled by any State in the category.
In this as in other statements the Dr.
manifests want Of intelligence As pitia-
bic as it is ipexcusable.
What the object Of the DR., is in taking
the course he has in this matter, we leave
it for his friends, if he has any, to ae.
termine. Perhaps It is sound policy to
sacrifice the credit and coed name Of
Northern Michigan for the sake Of a lit
tie aid in making roads. But we do not
believe such will be the judgement of his
constituents. BY the "infntessimal, +"
sinuH 8miHJp cwaatcr, little pills" rule
by which he seems to be guided, and to
which his zone idea" seems alone to tend,
he may, perhaps Justify his most singular
course, but in the light of common sense,
it seems to us that he has, in making the
report to which we have alluded, commit
ted an outrage upon those who elected
him for which he merits the hearty in
dignat;on Of an insulted people.

"Whilst we claim to have done much for the
preservation Of the health Of the city, we have
been unable, without the neglect Of private bust.
ness and interests, to attend promptly to all the
complaints of nuisances, and would respectfully
suggest whether it would not be expedient to
appoint salaried health officer. The city, at
small cost, would thus have claim upon
competent person, and thus alone, we believe,
could be remedied the delay so often and justly
complained of in the removal Of nusances and
the enforcement Of the health regulations"
The present health law emanated from one
Of our most prominent physicians, (Dr. Thomas
| Miller, who was president of the board Of health
for many years, and who has probably had more
experience, in reference to sanitary laws, than
any other citizen of Washington.
The whole experience Of those who have been
connected with this department of a city's
| prosperity has been, that the executive officer
of the board of health should be one who can
give the subject his entire attention. After the
most careful consideration, cannot but regard
the aboshment of the Office Of commissioner
of health at this time and season of the year,
and in the presence Of largely increased pop.
ulation, as exceedingly unwise and imPolitic.
1t must be obvious, upon close exsmina-
ton, that this act imposes duties and obllga'
tions upon single officer which cannot be per-
formed with a proper regard 10 the pubic
interests. These offices have been created and
established by your predecessors from time to
time, as the wants and necessities of the city re.
quired them, dating back for many years. and
il they were necessary then, the conclusion is
irresistible that they are Indispensable now.
! The bill also abolishes the offices Of water
registrar and water purveyor, and creates the
office of water commissioner, upon the incum
bent of which it imposes all the duties assigned
by existing laws to both the abolished offices
together with such other duties as may be re
quired by the Mayor or the City Councils. The
commissioner, then, must be in his office every
day, and at the same time he must PERSONAL.
