A Significant Fact.

On the change Of Administration, March
4,h there will be five living ex Presidents
of the United Stales,-Van Buren, Tyler
Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan. Every
one OF these retired statesmen favors the
plan OF compromise known as the Critten-
den plan, or something akin 10 ii; while
Mr.. Lincoln, if the Republican organs are
right-and his speeches may be taken as
an indication OF lis policy-rejects all COM
promise, and prefers force. Is his wisdom
greater than the combined wisdom OF his
predecessors?

Inauguration at the Point of the Bayonet

To day, al Washington, will be presented
a spectacle novel 10 this country, which, il
ii does not terri:y the heart of every patriot,
must give even the most inconsiderate
cause for painful reflection. For the first
time in the history Of this country the Presi.
dent delivers his inaugural. surrounded and
guarded not by the honest hearts of a hap
Py people, but safely enscouced out of the
peoples reach, within a military Gordon
bristIng with bayonets. Such scene has
been Witnessed in the Grand Square al Ma
pies, with FERDINAND for the central figure
bui ABRAHAM LINCOLN is the first President
of the United States whose conduct or opn
ions have been such as 10 inspire one Of his
countrymen with a wish for his death J.
For the first time in our history the Presi
dent IS afraid of the people He cannor
trust Them. They are kept at bay by pre-
to.ian cohorts. Strange that that people
who put him on that marble balcony, are
not permitted 10 be within the sound OF his
voice
American citizens, pause and reflect !
When minority President and minority
party, conscious of illesitimacy, invoke the
aid of arms, is there moi more than com
mon peril!
It's meaning is that tyranny is installed
more crushing, more terrible than the worlC
has seen-the tyranny of The few over lh,
many-an Abolition, military tyranny.
Answer to yourself, ABRAHAM LINCOLN
the question whether there is anything
wrong, when you see al a distance those
! masses which all Presidents before yot
! loved TO have close around them, but whicl
! you keep al distance Answer why il j
/ that in that distant throng there is one o
many who would freely have given thei
lives so that thou shonldst not stand there
Answer why i; is, when this crisis is 5u
artificial, that such passions are invoke
and such feelings as nothing but grea
wrongs can excite, are aroused. Answe
these things, and then 90 back TO the Whit
House, content that thou hast reached j

DURING the discussion in the Senate on
the bill for the commutaton of tonnage du-
ties, Mr. Bound, of northumberland, in the
course of spread eagle speech i'll opposi
ton 10 The passage of the BILL took the lib
erty of saying that the influence of the
Pennsylvania railroad company was so
overshadowing as even to control the pro-
ceedings of the late Democratic Conven-
veEtion, and prevent the passage of reso-
lulions against the repeal of the tonnage
tax Mr.. Welsh very properly contradict
ed this unwarrantabe assertion, by stating
that the Convention was called for the spe-
cific and only purpose of celiberating upon
National affairs, and that while he, as an
individual, was opposed to every section
and line OF the bill under discussion, he
would have opposed any action upon the
subject in the Convention as entirely for
eign 10 the purpose for which it was as
sembled After this statement. MIR. Bound
gracefully promised 10 retract his allegation
in reference 10 the power exercised by the
company over the Convention.
We aIlude 10 this incident for the purpose
of showing The line of argument pursued
by some OF the opponents OF the removal
of unwise restrictions imposed upon our
internal commerce, as well as 10 show that
the silence of the Democratic Convention
upon this particular bill was the result OF
the wise discretion of its members, and not
attributable 10 those undue influences which
exist only in the minds of the suspicious
and the credulous Patriot and Union.

BLO0nsBURG, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1861

THE TAsIFv BILL has passed and was
signed BY James Buchanan inst before eav-
ing the Executive Chair II passed the
Senate by vote of 25 to IA nays, Bigler
and Cameron, of this State. both supporting
The Bill by vote and speech. Douglas, with
threen other Democrats, voted against the
bill. The President was in great doubt for
some lime as to whether he would sign the
new tariff bill He said he had examined
some of its more important features, and he
regarded il as very imperfect and loosely
drawn bill He yielded, however, TO the
passions of some of his Pennsylvania
friends, and on the I'd inst. signed the bill.
The tariff, so much asked for by the Repub.
lican party, has at last been brought about
under Democratic rule. They would not
have received a tariff under the adminis-
iration of Lincoln; we are satisfied of that
fact from what he has said about the tariff.
He knows nothing about tariff

Cabinet was far from being settled There
was an irrspressibIe conflict going on be-

LincOln's Address.

We have read the Inaugural Address of
President Lincoln, aud must confess we
were disappointed. He has spoken, we
suppose officially, al last, and what has he
said He has said nothing 10 relieve the
public mind IN The least, nor has he recon-
mendet anything looking 10 the preserva-
ton of peace and the restoration of the
Union. He is very cautions, and uses no
strong language. The document will ap
pear in our next. To tell the pnolic IN
plain talk what we really think of it, ii is a
lame, unsatisfactory and discredilable pro
duction, inferior in every respect, TO any
thing that has ever eTanaed from any
President In our next we will speak more
at length upon the subject. This 10 the
first time in our history that sectional,
anti southern, anti-slavery party was inau-
gurated in power at the Federal Metropolis.
