THE INAUGuRAL ADDRESS.
There is no constitutional or legislative re-
Quirement that the President shall take the
oath OF otice In the presence OF the people.
But there is SO manifest an appro oPriateness IN
Executive officer OF the Nation that from the
beginning OF the Government the people to
whose service the official oath consecrates the
omcers have been called to witness the solemn
ceremonial The oath taken in the presence
OF the people becomes mutual covenant; the
oncer covenants 70 serve the who're Oouy OF
the people by faithful execution of the laws,
so that they may be the untAiltng defense
and security OF those who respect and observe
them and that neither wealth, station nor the
power OF cONubinatiOn shall be able to evade
their just penalties, or TO wrest them from a
beneticent public purpose to serve the ends OF
cruelty or seifshness. My promise is spoken;
yours unspoken, but not the less real and
solemn. The people OF every State have here
their representatives. Surely do not mtsin-
terpret the spirit OF the occasion when L as
sumo that the whole bodyof the people covenant
with me and with each other to-day to support
and defend the Constitution and the Union of
the States; to yield willing obedience to oil
the laws and each TO every other citi-
zen his equal civil and polite al
rights. Entering thus sOlemnly into
covenant with each other, we may reVerentlY
invoke and confidently expect the favor and
help OF Almighty God, that He Will give TO me
wisdom, strength and fidelity, and TO our peo-
pie spirit of fraternity and Il love OF right
eOusness and peace.
| This occasion derives peculiar interest from
the fact that the presidential term, which be-
gins this day, is the twenty-sixth under CUP
Constitution. The first Inauguration OF Prest-
dent Washington took place in New York
where Congress was then sitting, on the thir-
teth day of April, 1873, having been deferred by
reason Of delays attending the organization OF
the Congress and the canvass Of the electoral
vote.
