By the activity of our artist at New York we
are enabled TO present to our readers two of
the principal scenes of the Inauguration of
President Polk. on the 4th ut. together with
the accompanying details of this great political
triumph.

President and those accompanying him left
their carriages and the procession. with the
members OF Congress ard others who were en-
Titled To admission into the Capitol. and pro-
ceededthrough the grounds to the Capitol. And
on the procession coming III sight Of the Capitol
grounds there was a new scene for wonder; for
every conceivable foot Of space on the elevated
terraces OF these grounds where a spectator
could have chance Of seeing the procession
and the President and suite was crowded to
sufocation. 1t was literally black with the
swsrms OF people-here and there relieved by
the bright dress o. some democratic lady who
was not afraid of either the falling rain or the
thronsing crowds, but was determined to see
and be seen.
At IL o'clock the Preside intellect, with Chief
justice fancy. stepped forward to the front OF
the platform. the latter holding in his hand
rlchly gilt Bible. when, in the presence OF the
nigh functionaries of government and of the
assembled representatives of foreign govern
ments. the chief Justice proceeded to admins

and caused her so much pain and distress
that il fastened her death. II was because
OF this peculiar experience in his own life
that he was slow to believe the charges against
Mrs. Eaton, the wife Of his Secretary Of War.
Nevertheless the wives of the other cabinet off,
GERS and Vice President declined to recognize
her, and Mrs. Donaldson. the wife Of the Presi-
dents rerhew. who Was mistress OF ceremonies

son scolded his secretaries and sent Mrs Dom
aidson home. but without success. Van Buren,,
who was Secretary Of State. and who was will

his political rival, supported Jackson in

Word was also brought to jackson that Calhoun,
while a member Of Monroe's cabinet disap-
proved of Jaeksons conduct in Florida This
to suspect Calhoun Of treacherous double deal
ing and Of setting his cabine. against
him. The result was a quarrel, which
broke mp the cabinet, and the news
papers were full of the details of the
unpleasant affair. In the spring and
summer Of 1881 there change in nearly
the entire cabinet. Van Barren. who had stood
by Jackson, resigned and was appointed min
lister to England. but was defeated for con-
frma;ion by the casting vote of Calhoun,

This strengthened Jackson's determination TO
make Van Buren, his successor to the presi-
dsncy and he was successful The cabinet was
reconstructed, with Livingston. Secretary OF
State; Mclean. Secretary of the Treasury: Cass.
Secretary Of War; Woodbury., Secretary Of the
Navy, and fancy. Attorney General, with no
change in the Post Office Department. Even
the kitchen cabinet was somewhat dislocated.
and Duff Green was ignominously kicked out
OF that organization and Francis Preston Blair
OF Kentucky taken in his stead, leaving Blair
and Kendall. the ruling spirits OF the admins
tratlon. Their plan was to re-elect jackson to
the presidency in 1882 and follow him with Van
Buren, in 1886. The United States Bank trou-
bies followed and Jackson was reelected, re-
ceiving 219 votes against 40 for Clay, his chief
antagonist. and proceeded to demo,i-h the
bank. Mclean, who was then head Of tbs
treasury Department, did not agree with Jack

he had not become President in the fun
sense Of the term and that he should take an
oath to administer the duties Of the executive as
''acting President" Mr.. Tyler. however, after
n careful study Of the situation decided against
this and assumed that he was President In the
fullest sense Of the word. This view has been
fully confirmed since and accepted as constitu-
tional law, and has been followed in the cases
Of Fillmore, johnson and Arthur when they en-
tered upon the presidential duties under similar
circumstances. President Tyler did not a. first
disturb the Harrison cabinet, though il did not
take him long to see clearly what their attitude
was and what their plans were to control him
and his administration. He resented at every
step the insinuation that he was an executor Of
the Harrison administration, insisting that in
stead he was an heir OF full age The FIRST
marked break between Mr.. Tyler and the Hnr-
rison cabinet, however. came when he
vetoed the national bank bill. which
hadvs' been prepared with the approval
9f the Harrison cabinet and passed by Congress.
This proved n elimination Of the epmities be-
tween Tyler and the Harrison cabinet and they
all resigned with the exception of Webster,
who remained long enough 20 finish the Ash
burton treaty with Great Britain with refer
ence TO our northeastern boundary. and then he
resigned. Clay, who still attempting 10
dictate to Tyler as he had tried to do in Har-
rison's case had with his leaders foreseen this.
and they had planned not only FOR the resigna-
ton of the cabinet, but for adjournment Of
Congress on the Monday following the veto
and resignations, which took place on Saturday.

unanimous resignation OF the cabinet and the
want of time TO appoint a new cabinet, would

tiona. resignation of Webster at that time
would have produced the effect desired is I'M
certain, but Ii is evident that Mr.. Webster was
sufficiently clear.igh.ed to decline to play into
the hands Of his rival Mr.. Clay. by assisting in
this scheme. Tyler was glad TO retain him
and the strong element in the north which he
represented. These incidents caused in
tense excitement and led certain members Of
Congress to issue addresses to the people con-
