Such Of you as are now dissatisfied, Still nave
the old Constitution unimpaired and on tho
sensitive point, the laws Of your own framing
uuder II while the new Administration will
have no immediate power II IL would, to
change either lfi were admitted that YOU
who are dissatisfied hold the right side in the
dispute, there stll Is no single good reason
for precipitatc action. Intelligence, patriot-
I ism, Christianity, and firm reliance on Him
who has never yet iorsakcn this favored land,
are still competent to adjust in tho bost way
all our present difficulties.
In your hands, my dissatisfied couutrymeu,
and not IN mine, is the mOmeutous issue Of
civil war. The Government will not assll
you. You can have no conflict without being
yourselves the aggressors. You have no oatn
registered in heaven TO destroy the Govern
meut while / shall have tho most solemn one
to "preservc, protect, and defend it."
am 10th to close We are not enemies,
but friends. We must not be enemies. Tho
passion may have strained, il must not break
our bonds Of affection. The mystic chords OF
memory stretching from every battlefield
and patriot grave 10 every loving heart and
hearthstonc ali over this broad land, will yet
swell the chorus Of the Union, when again
touched, as surely they will be by the better
angels Of our nature.
During the delivery of the Inaugural, which
commenced about half pas! one O'Clock, Mr..
Lincoln was much cheered, especially at any
alusion to the Union. President Buchanan
and Chief Justice Tanoy listened with the ut
most attention to every word, and at its con-
cuSion the latter administered the usual oath,
in making which Mr.. Lincoln was vociferousIy
cheerod. The Chief Justice seemed very much
agtated, and his hands shook very percopti-
bly, with emotion. The Inauguration Of to-day
makes the eighth ceremony of the kind at
which Justice Taney has Qfliciated, having
administered the oath succcssiyely to Presi-
dents Van Buren, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fill
more, Pierce, Buchanan and Lincoln. The
ceremony was exceedingly impressive. AT
the conclusion Of the Inauguration ceremonies
the President was escorted to the Senate
Chamber, thence to his carriage and the mil
itary forming as in the procession of the morn
ing accompanied him, with the Committee of
Arrangements, to the White House. Every
thing passed off peaceably.
