PRESIDENT GRANTS INAUGURAL.
Popular Opinion by the Newspapers.

From the Baltimore American republican, March 81
ITO save the honor OF The nation" says President
Grant, .every dollar OF our iniebtedn ness should be
paid in gold, unless Otherwise stipulated.u We
rather think that when those words fiasiicd
the depths OF the Atlantic aud were posted in the
exchanges OF London. Paris and Frankfort, some
thing more was thought OF American honor ana hon
esty than when they were In the keeping OF sucn
repudlator as Johnson. No repudiator OF a farhng
OF our public debt can be trusted any place under
Grants admin stration. That seems to us O very
healthy sentiment also.
From the Providence Journal republican) March 81
With this Driaf ani ua lrctendiag address to his
fellow c.untrymen, distinguished alike for is
modesty its fairness aad ITS good sense, President
Grant has begun the twentieth administration OF the
government OF the United States under the constitu-
ton. In CARVING Into effect the rlght-mnded aud
elevated views which he yesterday uttered he will
receive the hearty cooperation aud support OF the
great mass or the American people. They are pre-
ciseIy the which are now most synaIiy needed
ia the government OF the country. Aud yet they are
not gotten up for the OCCASION. TheT the same
winch Grant nas Dorlo VITA aim AMI acted upon In
his varied services for the republic. lie clearly IS
an abiding faith In their sounincs3 ana truth, and
he means to keep this faith through the respousi.
bliitle5 aud cares OF the great o:ce on waich
entered. May his success as President be equal
to tae hopes and the expectations OF the people.
From the Worcester spy republican,. March ST.
Those who sneercd at General Grant before his
election as "a candidate without po'cyn are
probably satisfied nov thai whatever may have
been the case with the candidate the President has
policy distinct decided aad CON prehcnslve. The
clause In MS letter vi acceptance which gave pre-.
text for that IL explained In the inaugural a-
dress. We icarn that hc will on all subjects have
the will oil the people.
