eeA, In connection with the Common
place and pueriie inaugural of President
Grant We this week, give stirring address
from the retiring President. The most
careless observer cannot but see striking
difference in the style of thesetw address
es, The one is made mp of odd scraps of
hackneyed commonplace partisan plati-
tudes, among which we search in vain for a
single original idea, or suggestion of any
practical Importance. Johnson deals in
facts, which he enforces with the most rigid
logic, and shows that there is q large
amount of fight left in him yet 1t is said
that he has no motion of retiring to the dig
nifed obscurity of former ex-Presidents,
but will goto work and redeem Tennessee
from the condition of anarchy and mon
grehsm into which he-by his loil military
Governship-and Brownlow since have
dragged that State.
OF course everybody will read these doc
uments.
Wyoming democrat. [volume] (Tunkhannock, Wyoming Co., Pa.) 1867-1940, 1869-03-10

BA- The very first step taken by Grant
in the discharge of the duties of an Office,
for which he seems to be utterly untitled
both by nature and education, is most
egregious blunder. In attempting to rem,
edy this, he has made another, which al
most amounts to crime.
The law, which is rs old as the govern.
ment itself, creating the office of Secretary
of the Treasury, provides that mo persons
engaged in importations dealing ia bonds,
&c, shall hold any office under it." Grant
in defiance of this wise provision, has
chosen for the head of that department,
the largest importer in the country, 4. T.
Stewart and asks Congress to repeal this
salutary law which throws around the col,
lector of the nations money and the keep,
ers of its treasures, the usual guards against
fraud, peculation and plunder.
We shall see whether even this subser.
Went lick-spittle Congress is base enough
to yield to the demand of the dictator.

The Presidents Inaugural Address.

CITIZENS OF TIE UNITED STATES: Your
sufirages having elected me TO the Office of
President Of the United States, have in
conformity with the Constitution of our
country, taken the oath of Office prescrib-
ed therein I have taken this oath with
out mental reservation, and with the de-
termination to do to the best of my ability
all that it requires Of me. The response
bilities OF the position l feel, but accept
them without fear The office has come to
me unsought | commence its duties un-
trammeled. I bring to it conscientious
desire and determination to fill it to the
best of my ability to the satisfaction of the
people. On all leading questions agitating
the public mind I viii always express my
views to Congress and urge them according
to my Judgment, and when | think 1t adj
visable viii exercise the constitutionalpriv
ilege of interposing a veto to defeat
measures which l oppose. But all laws
will he faithfully executed, whether they
meetmy approval ornot. | snail on all sub
jects have policy to recommend, none to
enforce against the will of the people
Laws are to govern all alike, those oppos-
ed to as well rs those in favor of them l
know no method to secure the repeal of bad
or obnoxious laws so effective as their
stringent execution. The country having
just emerged from great rebellion, many
questions will come before it for settle
ment in the next four years, which preced-
ing administrations have never had to deal
with In meeting these it is desirable that
they should be appreciated calmly, with
out prejudice, hate, or sectional pride, re-
membering that the greatest good to the
greatest number is the object to be attain
ed. This requires security ofperson, prop
serty, and for religious and political opin-
ion in every part of our common country,
without regard to local prejudice. All laws
to secure this end will receive my best eff
forts for their enforcement.
A great uebt has been contracted in Sc
curing to us and our posterity the Union
The payment of this, principal and inter
est, as well as the return to a specie basis
as soon as it can be accomplished without
material detriment to the debtor class or to
the country at large, must be provided for
To protect the national honor every dollar
of the government indebtedness should be
paid in gold, unless otherwise expressly
stipulated in the contract Let it be un-
derstood that norepudiator of one farthing
of our public debt will be trusted in pub
lie places, and it will go far towards
strengthening credit which ought to be
the best in the world, and will ultimately
enable us to replace the debt with bonds
bearing less interest than we now pay. To
this should be added faithful collection of
the revenue a strict accountability to the

Alex. Mcclure eX-chairman of the Re
publican State Central Committee, called
on Gen. Grant with letters from Judges,
John NJ. Reed, Agnew and Williams-the
great leaders in the election frauds in the
state, in favor of Andy Curtin for cabinet
appointment, and he said also that letters
from Geary were on the way to the same eff
feet and Geary, learning of the fact, puts
the General on his guards against tcrgers =!
The last sentence of the telegram is won
derfully signiticant-'tbey are .fo1yerieS ~
Mr. Geary knows his political frienes and
associates he knows their honesty, their
tricks, and their habits, and he tells them
to the public. He tells it to President
Grant and the world that Alex. Mcclure,
Andy Curtin 4 Co. are not to be trusted :;
that they are unscrupulous, capable of for
gerry, and any other of the modern '.moral
ideas"
The inevitable ''Aleck" replies to Geary's
telegram, in note saying, that all the ''ey-
idence he had that Geary would write let
ter favoring Curtins appointment was,
Geary $. ,c0rd to that effect"
Knowing the hero of "Snickerville' as
well as Aleck did, he was hardly justified III
making any declaration on SO slight
foundation.
