Fourteen persons have been elected Vioe President, of whom three—Clinton, Gerry and King died in office. Three of the persons who 1 have been elected Vice President have i been elevated (by electon) to the Presii deucy, viz: John Adams, Jefferson and Van Buren. WA SHINGTON— I7B9. The inauguration of George Washington, as the fiirst President ofthe United States, took place in New York in the ! City Hall, then called Federal Hall, sit- . uated where the Custom House now stands, on Thursday, the 30th of April, .1789. The votes were counted by ConI gress on the 6th of April, and the official announcement was made to Washington, 1 at Mount Vernon, on the 14th of April, . by Charles Thompson, the special messenger dispatched for the purpose. The ■ President arrived in New York on the ' 23d of April, and was received with ac- ! clamations and military honors, one week [ afterwards the arrangements for the purpose being completed, the inauguration took place. To gratify the public curiosity. ar. open gallery adjoining the Scn■late chamber liad been selected by ConI gress as the place in which the ceremony !■ should take place. The oath was admini istered bv Chancellor Livingston; after j which the President returned to the [Senate chamber and delivered his inaug--1: ural address, which was at the same time his opening speech co both Houses of Congress. JOHN ADAMS-VINt. The inauguration of John Adams, as the second President ofthe United States, took, place in Independence, of Congress 1 Hall. Philadelphia, on the 4th of March, 1 1797, in the presence of a large concourse of people, among whom were the c-x-Piesident, Washington, Mr. Jefferson, the Vice I’resident elect, the heads of departments, many members of Congress, foreign ministers, and other distinguished persons Mr, Adams, who was then in liis sixty second year, was dressed in a full suit of pearl colored broadcloth, and wore his hair powdered, as was then the fashion; Before the oath of office was administered to the new President by the Chief Justice, lie delivered his inaugural address. It was different from that of his predecessor, which had been addressed to Congress while in session, while this of Mr. Adams was a declaration of its sentiments, without being addressed in the form afterwards adopted by Jefferson: ‘Friends and Fellow citizens. The sentiments and style of Mr. Adams inaugural produced a favorable impression upon the people. JEFFERSON— I3OI. The inaugural addr ss of Mr. Jefferson was delivered on the 4th of March, I 1801, in the new Capitol, at Washington, I in presence of the Vice President (Burr,) I the Senators, many members ofthe House i of Representatives, the foreign ministers, j and a large concourse of citizens. The 1 site of Washington City was then a comparative wilderness, and difficult of approach, from the imperfect state of the roads The oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Marshall, after the address was delivered. The Vice Prcs- | ident, Colonel Burr, took his seat in the , Senate th? same day. It was a day of : gloom to the defeated federalists, and of (course of joy to the successful RepubliI cans. MADISON— IBO9. The inauguration of James Madison ■ took place in the Capitol, at Washington, l on the 4th of March, 1809. The oath of [office was administered by Chief Justice! ; Marshall, in the presence of ex President Jefferson—who set at the right hand of Madison, the members of the late Cabi-. net, many members of Congress, foreign 1 ( ministers, and a large concourse of citi- [ zens. The President was dressed in a! [ plain suit of black, and delivered [the address in a modest and delightful 1 manner. JfOyA!O£’-1817. I The inauguration of James Munroe, oni [ the 4th of March, 1817, was preceded by . a procession from the iesideiice of the 1 President elect to Congress Hall, in Washington City, where the usual cere- ' monies were performed. The Pieoideat, ; and Vice President elect were attended [ by a great number of citizens as an es-| . cort, and all entered the chamber of the | Senate, which body was then in session; i the Vice President,,Tompkins, took the I 1 chair, and the oath of office being admin- ; istered to linn, he delivered a short address.

Tl.e number of persons present was estimated at ovei five thousand. The day was mild ami pleasant. — JOHN QUINCY ADAMS— 1 Sl.lThe inaugural address of Mr. Adams was delivered in the capitol, on the 4th ■ of March, 1825. The president elect, in a plain suit of black, ascended the steps ' to the speaker's chair in the house of ■ Representatives, nnd took his scat. —He was attended by the ex-President, Mon- . [ roc, by the Judges of the Supreme Court, the Vice President Calhoun, the Sena- 1 I tors, and a number of members of the . 1 House. After silence was proclaimed. ,[ Mr. Adams rose and delivered his ad-j 'dress, which was listened to with great] attention and interest. After the address the president descended from the chair ■ and, placing himself at the Judge’s table, : the oath was administered to him by ■ Chief Justice Marshall, in presence of • the immense audience of citizens and ■ | strangers who had assembled in the cap- • [ itol. ’[ JACKSON—I 329. i On the 4th of March, 1820, the presir dent elect was escorted from Gadsby’s Hotel to the capitol. There was a large ‘' assemblani'C of people at Washington to ' witness the ceremonies of the occasion,— 1 The president elect apd other dignitaries [ first entered the Senate chamber, and re- ! uiained until the Senate adjourned about [ noon, when a procession was formed to ’ ■ the eastern portico, of the capitol, where, ’■ in the presence of the large assembly of 5 spectators. General Jackson delevered ; his inaugural address. Having concluded 3 [it, the oath to support the constitution ‘ j was administered to him by Chief Jus- ’ i tice Marshall, The day vas serene and i mi'd, and every way favorable to the '[wishes of those wholiad come from a , distance to witness the inauguration.— 1 General Jackson did not call upon presi’ident Adams and the l itter was not pres- ‘ ent at the ceremony of the 4'di at the cap • itol. ! j U.I.V BIJ-REX—W3I. '■ There was nothing particularly remarkable in the inauguration of Air. Van Buren on the 4th ol March 1837 G'neral I Jackson accompanied the President elect, I in the carraige to the Capital, a procession having been formed, and the address was delivered from the eastern portico of the | Capitol. The oath of office was administered, at the close, by Chief Justice Taney The weather was remarkable pleasant and as usual, there was a large concourse of, people dresent. HARRISON— IB4I. Washington City was more thronged i with people at the inauguration of Hani- I . i son on the 4th of March, 1841, than on I any former occasion. The procession was large and General Harrison was I mounted on a white charger. As on for--1 mer occasions, the inaugural address was I 1 delivered from a platform on the east [ : portico of the Capitol. Previous to de-1 ' livering the closing sentence, the oath of j I oflice was administered by Chief Justice: Taney, after which the President pro-' ■ i nounced the concluding passages of the ] address. POLK— IB4.S. The ceremonies on the 4th of March, ] : 1845, at the inauguration of Mr. Polk,' ' were performed in the midst of a heavy ' l rain, which marred the enjoyments anil defeated the expectations of many, and [ [prevented much of the intended exhibi-: don and display. The procession moved from the headquarters of the President ■ elect, at Coleman’s Hotel, to the capitol. I I The Senate being in session, the oath was [ ! administered to Mr. Dallas, Vice Presi- [ dent who delivered a brief address. The ■ President elect, attended by ex-President' Tyler and Senator Woodbury, entered ■ I the Senate Chamber, when a procession [ I was formed to a platform on the east [ I front of the Capitol, from which President ■ Polk delivered his inaugural address — ! [ Chief Justice Taney then admiamistered j the oath of office, after which the Presi- : dent, quiting the Capitol, drove rapidly ! by. by an indirect rout, to the President’s ■ house where he received, during the as- ■' [ ternoon the congratulation of his fellow citizens. 1 I — L TA\YL 0R— 1849. [' ; On Monday March sth, 1849; the inI auguralion of Gencreal Taylor, as Presi- ; i dent of the United States, took place ati ■ , the Capitol. The multitude of people [ assembled on the occasion is supposed to 1 '

{have been much larger than was ever be- j j fore collected in Washington, The we.i- --! ther, although the sky was clouded, was las pleasant as uiual at this season of the ‘year. The procession moved from W>l- - Hotel to the capitol, the President i i elqct being accompanied in the carraige [by the ex-president, Mr. Speaker Win, i throp, and Mr. Seaton, the Mayor of Washington. The Senate being msessum, Mr. Fillmore, the Vice president \pro. tent., Mr. Atchinson, delivered an Jailqlress and took his seat as president of Tvi'ie Senate, The president elect and at- ‘ tendants having entered the Senate. Chamber, the usual procession was formed to i the east portico of the capitol where an extensive platform had been erected.— ‘ At about one o’clock. General Taylor, in full view of at least twenty thousand peo--1 pie, from all parts of the Union, deliverd j his inaugural address. It was read in a [ remarkably distinct voice, and was enthusiastically responded to by cheers of the people. As soon as the applause had subsided; the oath of office was administered the president by Chief Justice Taney. The president then received congratulations from numerous persons present —Chief Justice Taney and ex-presi-dent Polk taking the lead. The president ■ and the procession tlun retired down Pennnsylvani t avenue from the Capitol to the president’s house, where General i Taylor received with his accustomed courtesy, the congratulations of thousands of his fellow citizens. I PIERCE—I 933. The crowd in Washington on the occasion of the inauguration of Funkiin Pierce, fourteenth president ofthe United States, was very large. The day was cold, law and unpleasant, nnd the president pronounced his address under u [ : driving snow storm. The president atI tended by the ex president, Air. Fillmore , left Willard’s Hotel at noon, and drove down to the Capitol in the carraige pre- [. smil'd to him by the citizens of Boston, jhe entered the Senate Chamber at one : o’clock; and ata quarter past one proI ceeded to the portico at the eastern front ofthe capitol, where in presence of several thcurnnil people tbe oath was addmin- [ istered to him by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, 'Taney; after which the 'president pronounced his inaugural — The address was declaimed instead of being read, as usual, and the president asI firmed to the oath, raising his right hand after the New England fashion. After the address the president drove to the exI eculiv'e mansion, BUCK A NAN- 1357. The ceremonies of the inauguration of 'James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, as ! President of the United States, took place on the 4th of March, in Washing- ' ton. A great multitude thronged the city on the occasion. The military par[ade numbered 1000 volunteers, 300 [marines, and a corpse of U. S. Artillery, I all under the command of Gen. Quitman. [ The fire companies and political and civil ; societies, turned out in full force, and ; the President and Vice president were leach drawn in an open barouche, sur- | rounded by the Keystone Club, and pre- [ ceeded bv a female dressed as the GodIdes of Liberty, standing on a high plat- ! form, drawn by six horses. The car--1 riages were followed bv a full rigged [ship of war on wheels. In tile Senate [ Chamber were assembled all the memj bers of Congress, Cabinet Diplomatic Corpse, &c., I’reisdent Pierce, nccom- [ panied by Mr. Buchanan and Air. Breckinridge. The Senate was organized, Chief I Justice Taney administered oath of offics I to Mr. Buchanan, and the latter was then [ escorted the eastern portico, where he delivered his inaugural address, The reading of the inaugural address [ I having been concluded, the oath was ad- . ministered to Mr. Buchanan. Ex-Presi- ' dent i'terce then advanced and oft'ered : his congratulations to the president, and: he was followed by other dignitaries.— i The crowd at the same time renewed their 1 chee'ing, and the guns on Capitol Hill 1 bellowed out the news that a new presi dent bad entered upon his term of oflice. : The salute consisted of thirty one guns—- ' one for each State in the U.iion. The ceremony being concluded, the ■ president returned to the Senate Chamber j and soon, aftor resumed his seat in the 'carriage, and was conducted to the White I House, the ex president and others ac-1 companying him. A tailor, while travelling on the lakes, was lately asked by a Yankee where he lived, and what his business was, Ac., to which he replied he lived tn Toledo, and t that his profession was ‘sitting on the [ right side of poverty, and jerking out the cords of affliction. ‘Sally,’ said a feilnw to a girl who had red hair, ‘keep away from me, or you will set roe a lire.* ‘Nodanger of that,’ was tile answer,: •you are too green to burn.' i

A Temperance Story. I was in the medical staff of the army during the Revolutionary War, 1 wasratheryoungto be there. Aly constitution [ was one of the best. Had it been otherIwise, I should, no doubt, have fallen a victim to the habits which I contracted in curly life. Aly tendandes were convivial; tvmtations intemperate drinking and gambling were al ways present and impor- ■ tunale; we wete a clique by ourselves, with no one to molest or make afraid; and no one thought himself degraded by being drunk. I married very early in life when I ij was little better than a boy. The girl i, that 1 married was thought to be a great [ deal to good for me, by everybody but i herself. 1 was not intemperate then; and for a time my wife and little home s<emIcd all the world to me'. She had a littie i [ property: and, in about a year after our [ manaige, she gave birth to a daughter. I Bad habits soon got the mastery of my I better feelings. The attractions ofthe • circle at the tavern, or the quarters of ; some comrade, became irresistable; and [the very consciousness of the neglect to ■ which 1 was subjecting the women whom ■ I had promised to love and to cherish, ! began to make her presence undesirable,, i and home a place of mental and nrirel I punishment. Qualms, artd struggles, and II gnawing of t’ne worm that dies not, doubtI less these were neither few nor far bu- • tween; but the temptations were irresistible, I was lost. I knew it. The details of a thousand cases arc much i the same. The little modicum of pro- . perty that my wife brought me had , dwindled away piece after piece. Where I bad it gone? Down my in in latible throat! ;l I had gambled it away! No memorial reI mained, but rags and tatters! We were l[ very poor. A more uncomplaining w.- . man God never made. She struggled to ; [ hide even her tears, to save me from pain ;: on her account. | Let me pass some three years of mis- , cry and to the conclusion of lhe whole matter. One b.eak December morning, . as I was going forth, she put her hand t. upon my shoulder, and pointing first to our . [sick child, and then to a few brands upon . I the hearth, reminded me that these were j 1 the last, and that it was bitter cold. As •11 turned away, 1 promise to send her some . fuel, immediately. I I soon met some of my comrades; and . ■ returning to the tavern, we passed the i hours as usual, in drinking nnd revelry, -[until near midnight, when I staggered .[homeward. It was piercing cold. 1 I reached my door step and placed nv hand | upon the latch—then it first occurred to I me that 1 had wholly forgotten my promJisc—l had sent home no fuel! I entered J the appartment. A light was still burnling. The hearth was cold. Aly wile sat, rocking her child, in the cradle.— ,: She turned her eyes upon mine. The [ tears were streaming her shivering checks. Wife, said •; for heaven’s sake when will ; you leave off crying? Dear husband,’ said [she ‘when you quit drinking.’ ‘God help me,’ I exclaimed, as I put I my arms around her neck for the appeal was irresistable—God help me and 1 will never drink another drop.’ By God’s help I never have, to the present hour; and from the date of that resolution, the days of our uninterupted happiness began.— Boston Telegraph. Sweet Home.’-- A prise worthy attempt is being made in Bostou to erect a monument to the memory of John Howard Paine, the author of that touching son;', ‘Home Sweet Home. It is said that before leaving for Tunis, (where he died,) he was one evening walking with a friend in New York, when they heard voices in a house singing his sweet song. They [stopped beneath the window, nnd at the jCv.iviusion of lhe melody Paine gave a i hearty sigh, and remarked; ‘llov. little do they know ofthe author, who has no sweet home.’ i What an absurd as well ns barbarous | act to cut off a dog’s tail! You might just as well cut out bis tongue. In f ict, a dog talks far less with his tongue than with his tail. W ith his tail adoge.xpres- ‘ ses not only gratitude, as Fido did, but i hope, entreaty, complaisance, affvi tion, | love obedience, wrath, shame, defiance, 1 fear, and frolic. It is clear, then, that [in depriving a dog of his tail, you are depriving him of an organ of speech. 1,1 - j A darkie having been to California thus [ speaks of his introduction to San Fi an- [ cisco:—‘As soon as dey landed in the riber, der motifs began to waler to be on l land, and soon dey waded to de shore, dey did ’nt see any goold, but dev found I such a large supply of noffin to eat, dai , dar gums cracked like baked, clay in a brick yard.’ ” —- -rr - ■There is a woman at the bottom of every mischief,’ said Joe. ‘Yes,’ replied Charley, ‘when I used to get into mischief, my mother was at the bottom of me. But never did any good—it on’v l taught me to cheat and lie like the devil’’'

Au Irishman's Hcsources. Air. Menghcr, in uis speech at the St. Patrick’s Day dinner iu New York thu .other day, told llie following: Paddy shannon was a bugler in the . 87th regiment—the Fovgh a Ballaght—and with that regiment, under the command of Sir Hugh Gough, served all through the Peninsular campaign.—When the campaign was over Paddy Lad nothing left him but the recollection of it. ; His only solace was the notice taken of him in the canteen. It is no wonder, then be became a convivial soul. From j the bottle he soon found his way to thu 11 halberts. The regiment was pmaded, the pro- , [ceeding read, aud Pabdy tied up. Tho i signal given for the druniiners to begin, when Paddy Shannon exclaimed. • 1 ‘Listen now. Sir Hugh. Do you mean to say you are going to flog me? Ju.-t , [ Mcollect who it was sounded the charge • al Boiessa. when you took theonly 1 reneh ■ eagle ever taken. Wasn't it Paddy Shanf non? Link* 1 thought that day it would [ come to this; and the regiment so promt > of that same eagle on the colors.’ i ‘Take him down,’ said Sir Hugh, nnd , Paddy escaped unpunished. ~ A very short time, however elapsed. | before Faddy found Limseli in similar cir I cunistnnces. ‘Go on,’ said tl.e Colonel. ‘Don’t be ia a Jiuri y,’ ejaculated Paddy ‘l’ve a few words tu say. Sir Hugh.’ •The eagle won't save you this lune, i [ sir.” ‘ls it the eagle, indeed! then I wasn’t I going to say nnvili'ng about that same, .■ ihough yon are, and ought to be proud ! of it.

I ‘An lit is me,’ at last be broke out, [ [ ’that you are going to flog? I ask you I Sir Hugh Gough, before lhe whole regi- > meat, who know it well, if it wasn’t Paddy Shannon who picked up tba French ! Field marshal’s stall at the battle of Victori ». that the Duke of Willington sent ■ the Prince Regent and for which he got . that letter that made him n Field-mar- ■ shill into the bargain? lhe Prince Regent said; 1 ‘You’ve sent me the flag of a Fieldllarshnll of Erance; 1 returned you that [ of a Field-Marshal ol England.’ :[ ‘Wasn’t it Paddy Shimon that took it? Paddy Shannon, who never gut nip or ' compense, or ribbon, or star, or coat of I arms, or a mark of distinction, except : the flogging that you are going to give . him.’ I ‘Take him down,’ cried Sir Hugh, and again Paddy was forgiven. Wagonselkr, the late cashies of the New Castle Bank, had a very poor opinion of the management. He told Mr. Tindliall, the day he decamped with the funds of thu bank,, that the board directors were fools, the president of the bank crazy, anrl their attorney, (although he thought himself the smartest and had induced the board to have the same opinion,) but was the bigest fool of the lot. •What are you about, mv dear?’ s e.d a grandmother to a little boy who was sliding along the room, and casting fmitive 1 glances at a gentleman who was paying a visit. ’I am trying, grandma, to steel pnpa’s hat out of the room, without let- , ting the gentleman sec it, lor papa wants him to think he,s out, ‘cause he owes 1 him.’ Our devil says that when you see a ! young man and women walking down street leaning against each other like a pair of badly matched oxen, it is a oretty good sign that they are bent on consolidation.
