The lnanguxation--Lincoln has Spoken

The Observation-Disclosures has spoken
In another place we print the Inaugural
Address Of the President of the United States
ABRAHAM LrNcoLxl If the lovers Of the
American Union--the lovers Of Civil and
Religious Liberty the lovers Of Freedom
the lovers Of Country-thosc who have its
hest interests uppermost in their hearts, ever
had occasion for rejoicing, and rendering
thanks to the Almighty Ruler Of the Universe,
il IS for the accession Of ABRAHAM LINCOLN to
the Presidency Of these United States! The
highest trusts within the gift Of this people,
10 long occupied BY imbicilc, tra,torous, and
dishonest men, arc now filed by men Of
principle, strength, honesty, firmness-lovers
Of their country, and Of the faith Of the
Fathers. "An honest man is the noblest
work Of God" and though among politicians
Gods noblest work may be hard to find, who
will doubt that in tho person Of ABRAHAM
LINCOLN We have noble specimen.
At half past o'clock, Mr.. LINCOLN was
introduced to the vast multitude by Senator
BAkER Of Oregon, and in a loud. clear voice
proceeded to read his message, which was
listened 10 with the greatest attention.
At the conclusion of the address, Chief
Justice TANEy administered to Mr.. LINCOLN
the usual oath, which ceremony is described
BY the telegraph as exceedingly imposing "
The Chief Justice seemed very much agita-
ted, and his hands tremblsd very pcrceptibly.
It is the eighth ceremony Of the kind At
which he has oficiated, having administered
the oath Of Office successfully to Presidents
Vas buren,, TYLER, Polk, TAYLOR. FlLlxosE,
PIEacE, BucHASAx, and LINCOLN.
The Inauguration passcd off quietly and
peacefully. Gen. Scorr had made every
arrangement necessary to provide for any
emergency that might arise. This excellent
officer deserves the highest praises for the
unremitting labor with which he discharged
his duty, and for the completeness Of his
preparations for the prevention Of any dis.
turbancc in the Federal Capitol on that mem.
orable day. As the General was marching
to and fro on duty, it is reported that he was
overheard to exclaim: Everything is going
on peaccably-thank God Almighty for it.
Tho address Of Nr. LINCOLN comes fully UP
to our antiupations. We believe him to b
the man for the exigency Of the times, and
that whoever else may faltcr in the discharge
Of duty - ABRAHAM LINCOLN will neve,
swcrve. His duty Is the enforcement O.
the Constitution aud the Laws, as he receives
them from the hands Of the people. If thu
people desire 10 amend that Constitution o,
modify those laws, his duty is still the same
