THE INAUGURAL.

President Lincoln's first inauguration took
place on one of the brightest Spring days ever
vouchsafed to the genial climate Of Washington
and his pacific pleadngs and cxpostulations
were swiftly followed BY the bloodiest storm OF
War that ever burst on this hemisphere; hi,
second term commenced on day Of gloom and
tempest, and his Inaugural, though evidently
inspired by hope Of early Peace, does moi
appeal TO the Rebels for cessation OF hostllite'
as pleadingly as its prototype urged forbearanct
from beginning them. We think fresh
unequvocal exhibition Of the spirit which i'm
PEELED the former Inaugural would have beer
polite as well as humane; that it would have
quickened and deepened the disintegraton o.
the Rebel forces and thus hastened the reestab
lishment Of the National authority over every
rood of the Nations area. Now is the fittcsl
time for putting forth manifestations Of gene
rosty, ccmency, magnanimity, which, how
ever they may be spurned by the Rebel chiefs,
are certain to exert great and salutary
influence among their dupcd, disguised, despair
ing followers.
We print the Presidents first Inaugural q,
well as his second. Their points Of difference
indicate tho broad expanse which the Nation
has tracked with bloody feet within the las,
four eventful, memorable years. The former
proclaimed in firm though affecting language,
the resolve Of the Republic not to be divided
and overthrow; the latter points boldly to
Slavery, its implacable assailant, and says:
"This Hannah shall hang on the gallows he
erected for Mordecai." The former was the
exordum of our great struggle; the latter, we
hope and trust, is destined to prove its perora.

together reflect the day Of bis second iuaugura.
