President Lincoln's Second Inaugural
The Negro Question.
The brief address delivered yesterday by
President Lincoln, on the occasion of his Sec
ond Inauguration, gives us passing review Of
his four years just expired, but furnishes no in
formation as to his future policy. He says
that, "Now, at the expiration Of four years, dur
ing which public declarations have constantly
been called forth Qrom himselD on every point
and phase Of the great contest which still alb
serbs the attention and engrosses the energies
Of the nation, little that is new could be pre-
sented." We are thus left to the conclusion
that, having, fully defined his policy and pur-
poses heretofore in reference to the rebellion,
the war, peace and reconstruction, he has
nothing more to say.
