By Teh'uraph to the State Sentinel PKESIDKXT TAYLOR'S IA'AUGUUAI. aiij:i:ss. Washington, March 5, 11'J. (ieneral Zichary Taylor, President elect of tho United States, delivered to the Senate and members of the Hnue of Representatives of the United State.-, and thousands of American citizens, in front of the cnpi'ol, the following INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Elected by the American People to the highest office known to our laws, I appear . here to take the oath prescribed by the Constitution ; and in compliance with the like honored custom to address those who are assembled. The confidence and respect shown by my countrymen in calling me to the Chief .Magistracy of the Republic of the United States, holding a hiL'h rntik among the nations of the earth, inspire me with feelings of the mot profound gratitude. Rut when I roth ct that the ofhe which their partiality has bestowid imposes tiie discharge of the most arduous duties and involves the weightiest obligations, I am con-R-ious that the posit ion to which I hae been called will, though su?:;cient to satisfy the loftiest ambition, be Mirrounded by fearful responsibilities; happily, however, in the performance of my new duties 1 shnil not be without the co-operation of the legislative und judicial branches of the government. To present prominent '.ainph-s of distinguished civil attainments and matured experience, it shall be my endeavor to call to my assistance in the Executive Department individuals' whoso talents nnd purity of character furnish ample guaranties of the laithful and honorable di-ch irire of tlie trusts committed to their charge ; and with such aids, and an honest purpose to do what is right, I lio;)o to execute diligently and impartially and worthy the be-t interests of the country the im.nifuld duties devolving upon me, and in the discharge of these duties my guide will be the Constitution, which I this d.iy swear to preserve, protect aud defend. For the interpretation of that instrument, I shall look to i ho decisions of the judicial tribunals established by its authority, and to the practice of the government under the earlier Presidents, w ho had so large a share in its formation. To the example of those illustrious patriots 1 shall always refer with reverence, and es. pecially to his example who was by so many ties the father of his country. To command the Army and Navy f the United Nates with the udvice? and consent of the Senate, lo make treaties and appoint ambassadors nnd other o'.licers, to give to Congress information of the state of the Union, nnd recommend such measures as he shall d. em necessary ; to take care that the laws shall be faithfully executed, these are the rnovt important powers entrusted to the President by the Constitution, anil it may be expected that I shall brietly allude to those principle.? which thall control me in their execution. Chosen by th-? body of the people under the assurance that my administration would be devoted to the welfare of the whole country, and not for the support of any particular section, or merely local interests, I this day renew the declaration I have hitherto made. Mid proclaim my fixed determination to maintain to the extent of my ability the government in its original purity, and to ndopt as the hasis of my public policy tho-e great republican doctrines which constitute the strength of our rational existence. In reference to the Army and Navy lately empl v- ( d with s much distinction in active service, care f'rill be taken to secure the highest Condition of t l!ichncy, and in furtherance of that object, the Military nnd Navitl iS.-hooIs, sustained ly the liberality f C ! ngresst shall receive the special attention of the Executive. As American freemen we cannot but sympathise in all etloits to extend the blessings of civil nnd political liberty. At lh ; same time we are warned by the admonition of history nnd tha voice of our own heloved Washington to abstain from enlanfrlln'r aliiances with foreign nations. In all disputes between connecting governments, it is our interest no less than our duty to remain perfectly neutral, while our geographical position, the genius of our institu- ' tions aud our people, the advancing spirit of civilization, and above all the doctrmes of religion, direct us to the cultivation of peaceful ai:d friendly relations with nil other powers, it is to be hoped that no international questions can arise which a government confident in its own strength, and resolved to protect its own just rights may not settle by wise negotiation. And it eminently becomes a government like our ow n f'unded upon the wealth and intelligence of its citizens and upheld b; their aiF.'etions to exhatst every resor. of honorable diplomacy before appealing" to arms. In the conduct of our foreign relations, I shall confirm to these principles, as I believe them essential to the best interests and true honor of the country. To exercise the appointing power invested in the President imposes delicate and enorous duties. far as it is possible to b' ii'lormed, I shall make honesty, capacity and fidelity, indispensable prerequisites to the bestowal of oilice, and the absence of these Cjualities shall be deemed suthcient cause for removal. It shall he my study to recommend such constitutional measures to congress as may be nece-.sirv aud proper to secure encouragement and protection to the great interests of agriculture, commerce nnd manufactures ; to irnnr we our rivers nnd harbors, to provide for the speedy extinguishment of the public debt, to enforce a strict accountability of nil officers of th government, and the utmost economy in ull expenditures; but it is for the wisdom uf Congress itself, in which all legislative powers are vested by the constitution, to regulate these and other matters of domestic policy. I shall look with confidence to the enlightened patriotism of tint body to adopt such measures as may harmonize conflicting interests aud tend to perpetuate that union which should be the paramount object i f our hopes and affections. If anv j'ction on my part is calculated to promote an object so near the heart of every one who truly loves his country, i will zealously unite with the co-ordinate branches of the government. hi conclusion, I congratulate my fellow citizens on the high state of prosperity to which the goodness of Divine Providence has conducted our common country. Eet us invoke a continuance of the eame protecting care which has led us from small beginnings to the eminence which we this day occupy : and let us seek to deserve that continuance by prudence and moderation in our councils by well directed attempts to assuage the bittcrnefcs which too often marks unavoidable differences of opinion ; by the promulgation nnd practice of just and liberal principles, and by an enlarged patriotism which shall acknowledge no limits but those of our wide spread Republic.

of n recent ditf. nmt-iin n notico of ihn m.miiinn 1 of Macaub.y's History of England, from which wo ex- , ... I tract the lollowmg paragraphs. Every reader will remember the famous couplet of the poet, applied to , Lord Paeon, characterizing him as 'tho greatest, ! wisest, meanest of mankind yet it is one of the ' ! hardest things in the world tor us to realize the truth, ' , , , ., , , . ; ; teat not unf requentiy good and bv qualities exist in the same individual to an extraordinary degree, and , that either may be made subject to the other, to a greater or less extent, as occasions or circumstances , I may determine. I)an;rofi observes somewhere in his , I ; History, that the wisest head h ave their icttk spots : too, as well as their wicked ones. It is a very easy thing ; to admit the truth of all this, generally ; but as ue have already remarked, it is very hard for any of us to re- ! alize that a man who is very great in some things, is j not equally great and good in all, or wicked and base ! in all. It is ntver.m: and it is well, perhaps, that it is not. Rut, to the Duke: 'Among many others who figure in this history, to their honor or to their infamy, is the great Duke of ! .Marlborough, who "humbled six marshals of France," as Macaulay says, but whom, after describing as the . ablest, bravest, most politic, and even handsomest ' man of his time, he represents to have been selfish, j calculating, avaricious, i nd unprincipled, to a most ' shameless dogreee. His military promotion he owed j llrst to the shame of his sister, who, though extremely ( plain, found favor in the eyes of James the Second, , who seemed to have a fancy for ugly women ; and the , foundation cf his fortune, as regards property, he ! owed to a gift of five thousand pounds from one of : the paramours of Charles the Second, in whose eyes j he bad found favor. The only thing recorded of him i to his credit so far, except his great military actions, . is, that lie married a poor handsome girl Sarah Jeui nings when he might have married 'a plain girl '. with a large fortune." "His love, after a struggle," says Macauhy, "prevailed over hi avarice; marriage only strengthened his passion; and to the last I iiour of his lifo, Sarah enjoyed the pleasure and disi tinction of being the one "human being who was able to mislead that far-sighted and sure-footed judgment, who was fervently loved by that cold heart, and who w as servilely feared by tiiat iuterpid spirit." "Marlborough w is, without question, a great man great in t he field, great in the cabinet, and great in the Senate ; and though so illiterate as to bo unable to speak or write good English, still, by the mere force of genius, he could make a most dexterous and efficient use of his pen, and possessed a natural eloquence and ease of elocution that were envied by educated and accomplished oiators. And this was he who was, say-H the historinn, a "prodigy of turpitude, who ow d his rise in life to his sister's shame, and had been kept by the most profuse, imperious, and shameless of harlots." One virtue he allows him he would not apostnti.e, hut odhere to the religion -nc learneu as a noy. we see that a man may be a great hero, great everywhere, and yet most base and unprincipled. Alas ! fur poor human nature." ..1-1 I I .1.

He reminded them that they had charged the administration with having robbed Mexico of her lands; but as the receiver was as bad as the thief,' and as they bad now sanctioned the acquisition by consenting t J pay for the territory, he booed they would repent of what they had paid, and no longer cant about robbery and plunder. The w bigs very .quietly listened to the lecture which they received ; and wc trust upon this subject we shall hear no more of euch clamor and cant.

Quite an amusing incident occurred (says the correspondent of the Ohio Standard,) in the Capitol recently. The Chippewa delegation, decked out in the unique gewgiwry of their national costume, visited the Hall of the IIoiKc before the hour of session. After a while the elder chief ascended the steps, with a queer air of mixed curiosity and dignity, and seated himself in the Speaker's chair. This produced a burst of laughter from the spectators, but the Btem faced old veteran did not relax one atom of his gravity. In n little while it was plain that sitting in this scat of majesty was generating an idea in his noddle. Investing himself in imagination with the ideal power of the '(jreat Father's" chief commissioner, lie rose with a dignity the most perfect, and a jesticulation the most expressive, and addressed his; auditors in a brief strain of Indian lingo. The purport of Iiis impromptu oration was -"I have heard what my child there (one of the members) Ins said. I agree with him. We should give these, our friends, who have come to see us, the boon they ask for. Let us pay them and send them back to their homes." After giving expression j to this happy thought, he descended frorn the forum, j and with hia brother chiefs, retired to the Rotunda, to j gaze for the hundredth time at the magnificent paintIii "1 3 illV. w (7- An Indian Chief of the Chippewa trib , Kah-ge-gah-bowh by name, (the human of which is (J.

Mr. Copway (we beg pardon f r not repeating bis Indian name) is one of Nature's noblemen, and will command respect wherever he goes.

(rWc copy the following article from the Dc

iroit Free Press. Every Ihinir in it is applicable to! . . circumstances connected with the National road, and the subject i one, of vast interest to the people of this city and county, if they did but know it: j (muri Kivrr il:uik 3Co:il Tf Detroit desires a cnt inun nee Mid increase of her prosperity, she should give more nM"ntin to the oveliues leading into the interior. T be sure, we have two railways that have contributed much to advancing our growth. add d to our wealth, and doubled our businees. The Cannda road, nod tl;r projected one to Utica, will further improve them; still, there are other aenues of vast moment to the city, that need attention. The charter of the Detro t nnd Grand River FlankRoad Co., was granted in lIl, allowing five years for the stock to be tnkep, and cb-ven miles completed. Nearly half of the time has elapsed, und nothing done. As far as we b arn, not a cent of the Htock has been subscribed. Ought this to be ? em While w e nre sleeping on the subject of good roads, lbe citizens of other States are awake to them. Plank roads have provcdNby long experience, in Canada, to be the most economical constructed for ordinary travel. For easy ami speedy facility, they are next to the iron rail. The cost of building is not a quarter thr.t of the MeAdam road, and in two instances in Upper Cmada, thev have been laid upon the beds of the McAd im, ns a matter of economy, the rc-buildinjj of them once in eight or ten years, being only abut onehalf tho cost to keep a MeAdam road in repair. Where timber is plenty, nothing exceeds them in economy, und there is no greater luxury than a drive across them. Lord Svpr.NiiA.n, the late Governor of Canada, w hen in Russia, discovered their superiority, and soon after arriving in Canada, recommended their general introduction. They have met all t xpectations, and several hundred miles are now used, in both provinces. Wc know the history of three of them that have been re-built. They lasted eight years. At first they were planked sixteen feet wide, but have been reduced to eight feet with a tuo foot grade each side, to turn out upon. This is considered the most improved way. If sixteen feet long, the ends for four feet each eide, are but a quarter worn, when the centre is completely used up. The loaded travel is mostly one way, and the light travel keeping to the right, find nodilhculty in turning out, by one wheel passing over the graded earth for a few feet. The road from Longvillc to dumbly, is fif een miles lonir. Last year it was replanked. The stock paied 15 percent, interest, and a Eufhcicnt sinking fund reserved for a new road. The working of this road is almost a history of all of them. In the State of New York the first one built was from Saline to Rrewerton, thirteen miles, and through n low, wet country, mos of the time almost impassible. It wos with much exertion that the stock could obtain subscribers. Gf.okoe Gedpes visited the Canada rmds, t-arnc home, and took a third of the capital. Six months found a plank road finished. It costsl.100 a mile, and is 8 feet wide. The receipts up to the first of July last, being only nine months since it was completed, gave surety of 30 per cent, on the investment. During the past winter, the Legislature ,.f l .. c.f ..,...1 l 1 i. t. u u i:i...f p -u, a Kv,-,a. uuuv. u..v number nt pors0ns could organize a company and build a road the Consent ot the board of supervisors f the county in which a road was to be located, beinrr first obtained.

A plank road may be compared to a barn floor. A 11 can imagine the easy draft ovcr it. If men who own real estate in the city won't increase its value by subscribim for stock in ronds of this I; mil, we fianfly Know wlio should, .business tuen, generalv, want all their capital for trade. Still, i f . . i i i i c Lwe think, if most ot tnem would subscribe for a tew shares, the investment would be equal to any Ilierchandize the road be built and their trade vus;ly increased. The farmers on the line, should lend a helping hand.

Drilling Wlir.it.

We notice in the February number of the Gnncfee M . - . . . t armer nn article on "Drill Husbandry," which we copy below. In relation to this subject we would !nte that R. Mayhew of this place is the proprietor prin cipally, for Michigan, Illinois, and most of Northern Indians, in a newly invented machine Patented by Richard J. Catling, which was introduced here I.it fall. We have conversed with James Plake E-q. who has ten acres planted with it in th suburbs f this city. He is well pleased with its operation. His wheat dur ng the fall and winter and up to tho present time, fully confirms the superiority of drilling wheat ns stated in the Farmer, and by other writers on tfie subject. This machine is very cheap, strong and easily handled. I)RIl.L UlBtNIRT. The hroaJ-cast fytem cf owir wlit-at, oU. btlUy, IV', ai.J pC3, fcf-nc lll pitvaiM in ,n coui.tiv.
