Thank Godi a MAN is now Presiaent
Of the United States-and he has spoken!
The people Of the United States have not

the people. who elected him.
We rsesivsd . copy Of President Lin

read il, We would have crowded it.in this
issue. but. in consequences Of the missra.

received. the document. without altsra-
tions and additions which We do not feel
warranted in making. would. for the
greater part. be an imposition upon our
readers. Whole sentences arc evidently
omitted. others transpossd. and the entire
paper 20 jumbled and botehed, that it
would not prove satisfactory to tho read
q. These matters are chargsable to tel
egrsph operators and carsless csmpositors
and proof readers. Then, to add TO the
bother. the sheet is most missrably prin'

The Inaugural. ~ far - No haze bean
able to dsciphsr it. il noble one. breath.
ing the trus spirit Of patriotism. Mr..
Lincoln commences, not by expressing I
willingness to throw aside the principles
upon which he was elected, in order to
appsass traitors. ~ some distinguished
statesmen hays done: but BY quoting
from the Republican Platform. showing
that it expressly guarantees justice to
every section. and plsdging himself "a
fulfill his promises to the people.
He says that the Constitutional pro.
vision for the rendition Of fugitives shall
bs enforced. and that be is even in favor
Of an amendment to the Constitution.
prohibiting outside interference With sls.
very in the States where it exists. Ii
this connection, he takes occasion to add
that the Constitutional provision. secur.
ing protection to oil citissns. in svsry
section, shall b enforced! Ema.
He takes the ground that the Union
was designed to bs perpetual. and thai
no State has . right to secsde. Hs will
not make war upon any State: but b.
will collect the revenue. hold the forts
and take possession Of al property o.
the United States. wherever located. H
will do 20 psacsably. If possible: but il
resistance is made, ths offenders must
abide By the consequences. He has swort
to defend the Constitution and snforct
the laws; and when he took that oath
be did 20 with the intention of fulfilling
It to the letter, without any evasion o,
mental reservation.
He will extend to every State ample
postal and other facilities. ~ long - they
viii accept them. However. If the pso
pie Of any State will not receive such Of
6cers as be appoints. he will not make
war upon them to force them to do so,
but will simply suppress or abolish such
Offices until the people show. in proper
way. that they desire them.
He is satisfied with the Constitution ss
il is. and contends that secession will
greatly sggravate. instead Of obvists. al
causes Of complaint. He closes by en-
treating the people to rally to the de.
fence Of the Union and the laws and
declares that be will maintain them q,
long - the people sustain him. ea
There 10 . genuine touch Of Jackson in
the address. and treason has had its day
The hearts Of the Union men in the South
will gladden., and Right will prevail.
There are thousands Of good and true
men in the South, bat hitherto they have
had no heart for the contest. They had
no assurance that they would be sustain
ed BY the Government, but every reason
to fear that they would b betrayed BY
those who should have besn their pro,
tecton; and that their efforts would only
bring destruction upon their own heads.
But now they have the assurance of one
who means what be says. that they shall
b sustained in the right. Boastful tres,
son must now face the music, and have q
taste Of that dreaded "cosrcion" of which
il has 90 dismally and 90 pitsously
bowled
