IISESIIi:.T POLK'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS, DELIVERED MARCH 4, 1845. Fllov-citizen3: Without solicitation ou rny part, I have been chosen by the free and voluntary sutTrajrej of my countrymen to the most honorable and most responsible olBce on earth. I am deeply impressed with gratitude fur the confidence reposed in nit?. Honored with this distinguished consideration at an earlier period of life than any of my predecessors, I canrv t disguise t!ie ditiidenre with which I am ab jut to cuter on the discharge of my official duties. If the more a-red and experienced men who .have filled the office of President of the United States, even in the infancy of the republic distrusted tbeir ability to discharge the duties of that exalted station, what buht nut tj be the apprehensions of one so much younger and less endowed, now that our domain extends from ocean to. ocean, that our people have eo irreatly increased in numbers, and at a time when so

great diversity of opinion prevails in regard to the principles and policy which should characterize the administration of our government 1 Well may the boldest fear and the wisest tremble, when incurring responsibilities on which may depend our country's peace and prosperity, and, in some degree, the hopes and happiness of the whole human fam.ly. In assuming responsibilities sj vast; I fervently invoke the aid of tire Almighty Ruler of the universe, in whose hands are the destinies of nations and of men, to guard this heaven-favored hind, against the mischiefs which, without His guidance, might arise from an unwise public policy. With a firm reliance upon the wisdom of Omnipotence to sustain and direct me in the path of duty whiVh I am appointed to pursue, I stand in the presence of this assembled multitude of my countrymen to take upon myself the solemn obligation, "t'j the bestof my ability, to preserve, protect, and defend tile Constitution cf the United States." A concise enumeration of the principles which will puide me in the administrative policy of the government, is not only in accordance with the examples set me by all my predecessors, but is eminently belitting the occasion. The Constitution itself, plainly written as it is, the .safeguard of ot r federative compact, the offspring of concession and compromise, binding together in the bonds of peace and union this great and increasing family of free and independent States, will be the chart by which I shall be directed. It will be my first care to administer the government in the true spirit of that instrument, and to assume no powers nut expressly granted, or clearly implied in its terms. The government of the United States is one of delegated and limited powers, and it is by a strict adherence-to the clearly granted powers, and by abstaining from the exercise of doubtful or unauthorized implied powers, that we have the only eure guaranty against the recurrence of those unfortunate collisions between the Federal and State authorities, which have occasionally so much disturbed the harmony of our system, and evea threatened the perpetuity of our glorious Union. " To tiie States respectively, or to the people," have been reserved "the powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by the States." Each State is a complete sovereignty within the sphere of its reserved powers. The gov ernment of the Union, acting within the sphere of its delegated authority, is also a complete sovereignty. While the general government should abstain from the exercise of power not clearly delegated to it, the States should be equally careful that, in the maintenance of their rights, they do not overstep the limits of powers reserved to them. One of the most distinguished of my predecessors, attached deserved importance to ' the support. of the S'te governments in all their rights, as the most competent administration for 5ar djinestic concerns, and the surest bulwark against ant i-republican tendencies"; and to the "preservation of the general government in its whole constitutional vig'.-r, as the siieet anchor of our peace at home, and safety abroad." To the government of tbe United States has been intrusted the exclusive management of our foreign affairs. Beyond that, it wields a few general enumerated powers. It does not force reform on the States. It leaves individuals ov er whom it casts its protecting iniluciice, entirely free to improve their own condition by the legitimate exercise of all their . mental and physical powers. It is a common protector of each and all the States ; of every man who lives upon the soil, whether of native or foroi!n birth ; of every religious sect, in the worship of the Almighty according t the dictates of their own conscience ; of every shade of opinion, and the most free inquiry; or every art, trade, and occupation, consistent with the laws of the States. And we rejoice in the general happiness, prosperity, and advancement of our country, which har? been the offspring of freedom and not of power. Ibis most adnnnhle and wisest system of well regulated self-government among men, ever devised by human minds, has been tested by its successful operation for more than half a century,- and if preserved from the usurpations cf the federal government on the one hand, and the exercise by the States of powers not reserved to them on the othr, will, I fervently hope and believe, endure for ages to come, and dispense the blessings of civil and religious liberty to distant generations. To effect objects so dear to every patriot, I shall devote myself with anxious solicitude. It will be my desire to guard against that most fruitful source of danger to the harmonious action of our sys tem, which consists in substituting the mere discretion and caprice of the executive, or of majorities in the legislative department of the government,- for powers which have been withheld from the federal government by the constitution, by the theory of our government, majorities rule ; but this right is not an arbitrary or unlimited one. It is a right to be exer cised in subordination to the constitution, and in con formity to it. One great object of the constitution was to restrain majorities from oppressing minorities, or encroaching upon their just rights. Minorities have a right to appeal to the constitution, as a shield against such oppression. That the blessings of liberty which our constitution hccurcs may be enjoyed alike by minorities and majorities, the executive has been wisely invested with a qualified veto upon the acts of the legislature. It is a negative power, and is conservative in its character. It arrests for the time hasty, inconsiderate, or unconstitutional legislation ; invites reconsideration, and transfers questions at issue between the legislative and executive departments to the tribunal of the people. Like all other powers, it is subject to be abused. When judiciously and properly exercised, the constitution itself may be saved from infraction, and the rights of all preserved and protected. The inestimable value of our federal Union is felt tnd acknowledged by all. By this system of united and confederated States, our people are permitted, cöüfctivcly and individually, to seek their own happiness in their own way ; and the consequences have been most auspicious. Since the Union was formed, the number of the States has increased from, thirteen to twenty-eight ; two of these have taken their position as members of the confederacy within th3 last week. Our population has increased from three to twenty millions. New communities and Statesjare seeking protection under iu a?gis, and multitudes from the old world are flocking to our shores to participate in its blessings. Beneath its benign sway, peace and prosperity prevail. Freed from the miseries cf war, our trad? and intercourse have extended throughout the world. Mind, no longer tasked in devising means to accomplish or resist schemes of ambition, usurpa-1 lion, or conquest, is devoting itself to man's true interests, in developing bis faculties and powers, and the capacity of nature to minister to his enjoyments. Genius is free to announce its inventions and discoveries ; r.nd the band is free to accomplish whatever the bead conceives, not incompatible with the rights of a fellow leinj. All distinctions of birth or of rank have been abolished. All citizens, whether native or adopted, are placed upon terms of precise equality. All arc entitled to equal rights and equal protection. No union exists between church and State, and perfect freedom is guarantied to all sects and creeds. . These are some of the blessings secured t our happy land by our federal Union. To perpetuate them, it is our sacred duty to preserve it. v no 6hall as8ifTi limits to the achievements of free minds and free hand?, under the protection of this glorious Union ? No treason to mankind, since the organization of so ciety, would be equal in atrocity to that of" him who would lift his hand to destroy it. He would overthrow the noblest structure of human wisdom, which protects himself and his fellow-man. He would stop the progress of free government, and involve his country either in anarchy or despotism. lie v;ould extinguish the fire of liberty which warms and ani ruatcs thc hearts of happy millions, and invites all

the nations of the earth to imitate our example. If he say that error and wrong are committed in the administration of the government, let Lim remember that notldng human can be perfect; and thct under no other system cf government revealed by Heaven, or devised by man, has reason been allowed so free and broad a scope to combat error. .. lias the 6word

of despots proved to be a safer or surer instrument cfjclusivtly to the United States and Texas. - 4 . 1 ... i . . J j i ... .-

reiorm. in government man cniiguienea reas m . Doc-i ho expect to find atno:;g the ruins i f this Union . a happier abode for our swarming millions than tl.ey , now have under it ! Every lover of his country niu-t shudder at the thought of JL possibility t f its dis solution, anil will be ready to adpt the patriotic sentimeut, 44 Our federal Lmon it mu-t be preserved. To rrecrve it, the compromise which alone enabled our fathers to form a common constitution for the government and protection cf so mny States, and "7- . . e ... i 1 . ;,0 - distinct communities, of such diverged ha bits, ntercets, and domestic institutions, must be sacredly end religiously observed. Any attempt to diSiurb or . destroy three comprom.ses, being terms ot the compact of Union, can-lead to rone other than the most ruinous and disastrous consequences. . - .It is a source of deep regret thai, in some "sections of our country, misguide persons have occasionally indulged in schemes and agitations, whose object is the destruction of domestic institutions existing in other sections institutions w hich existed r.t the adop tion of the constitution, and were recognised and protected by it. All must see that if it were possible for them to be successful in attaining their object, the dissolution of the Union, and the consequent destruction of our happy form of government, must epeedily follow. . I am happy to believe, that at every period of our existence as a nation, there has existed, and continues to exist, among the great mass of our people, a devotion to the Union of the States, which will shield and protect it against the moral treason of any who would seriously contemplate its destruction, lo se cure a continuance of that devotion, the compromises of the constitution must not only be . preserved, but sectional jealousies and heart-burnings must be dis countenanced ; and all 6hould remember that they are members of the same political family, having a common destiny. To increase the attachment of our. people to the Union, our laws should be just. Any policy which shall tend to favor monopolies, or .the peculiar interests of sections or classes, mu-t operate to the preju dice of their fellow citizens, and should be avoided. If the compromises of the constitution be preserved if sectional jealouies and heart-burnings bo discountenanced if our 'raws be just, ar.d the government be practically administered strictly within the limits of power preMrribcd to it we may discard all apprehensions for the safety of the Union. With these views of the nature, character and objects of tbe government, and the Value of the Union, I shall steadily oppose the creation of those institutions and )slems which, in their ntture, tfnd to pervert it from its legitimate purposes, and make it the instrument of sections, classes and individuals. We nerd no national banks, or other extraneous institutions, planted around the government to control or strengthen it i. opposition to the will of its authors. Experience has taught us how unnecessary they are as auxiliaries of the public authorities, how impotent for good, and how powerful fr mischief. Uurs was intended to be a plain and frugal government ; ar.d I shall regard it to be my duty to recommend to Congress, and, as far as the executive is concerned, to enforce by all the means within my power, the strictest economy in the expenditure of the public money, which may bo compatible with the nubiic intcrt tU. A national debt has become almost an institution of European monarchies. It is viewed in some of them, aa an euseoual prop to existing governments. Melancholy is the condition of that people, whose government can be utatned ooly by a system which periodically transfers large amounts from the labor of the many, to the o ffers of the few. Such a system is incompatible with tbe ends for which our republican government was instituted. Under a wise policy, the debts contracted in our revolu tion, and during the war of 1812, have been happily cx tinguisht'd. By a judicious application of the revenues, not required for other necessary purposes, it is Dot doubled that the debt which has grown out of the circumstances of the last fvw years may be speedily paid off. I congratulate my fellow citizens on the entire rcstora lion of the credit of the general government of the Union and that of many of li.e States. Happy would it be for the indebted States if they were freed from their liabilities, many of which were incautiously contracted. Although the government of the Union is neither In a legal nor a moral sense bound for the debts of thn States, and it would be a violation of oor compact of Union lo assume them, Vet we cannot but feel a deep interest in see ing atl the States meet (heir public liabilities, and pay off their just debts, at the earliest practicable period. i hat they w'lll Jo so, as soon as it can be done wilnout imposing too heavy burdens on their citizens, there is no reason to doubt. The sound, moral, and honorable feeling of the people of the indebted States, cannot be questioned ; and we are happy to perceive a settled disposition on their part, as their ability returns, after a season of unexampled pe cuniary embarrassment, lo pay off all just demands, and to acquiesce in any reasonable measures to accomplish that object. One of the difficulties which we have had to encounter in the practical administration of the government, consists in the adjustment of our revenue lawsand the levy of the taxes necessary for the support of government. In the general proposition, that no more money shall be collected thai) the necessities of an economical administration shall require, all parties seem to acquiesce. Nor does there seem to be any material difference of opinion as to the ab sence of right in the government to tax one section of our country, or one class of citir.ens, or one occupation, for tbe were profit of another. "Justice and sound policy fatbid the federal government to foster one branch of industry to the detriment of another, or lo cherish the interests of one portion to the injury of another portion of our common country." I have heretofore declared to my fellow-citizens that, in " my judgment, it is the duty of the government to extend, as lar as it may be practicable to do so, by its revenue laws, and all other means within, its power, fair and just protection to a!l the great interests of the whole Union, embracing agriculture, manufactures, the mechanic arts, commerce, and navigation." 1 hate also declared my opinion to be " in favor of a tariff for revenue," and that " in adjusting the details of such a tariff. I have sanctioned such moderate discriminating duties as would produce the amount of revenue needed, and, at the same time, affjrd reasonable incidental protection to our home industry," and that I was "opposed lo a tariff for protection merely and nol for revenue.". The power "to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises," was an indispensable one to be conferred on the federal government, which, without it, would possess no means of providing for its own support. In executing this power, by levying a tarifl" of duties for the support of government, the raising of terenvc should he the object, and protection the incident. To reverse this principle, and make protection the object, and revenue the incident, would be to inflict manifest injustice upon all other than the protected interests. In levying duties for revenue, it is doubtless proper to make such discriminations within the menue principle, as would afford incidental protection to our home interests. Within the revenue limit, there is a discretion to discriminate; beyond that limit, the rightful exercise of the power is not conceded. The incidental protection .afforded to our home interests by discriminations within the revenue range, tt is believed, will be ample. In making discriminations, all our home interests should, as far as practicable, be equally protected. The largest portion of oor people are agriculturists. Others are employed in manufactures, commerce, navigation, and tho mechanic arts. They are all engaged in their respective pursuits, and the joint labors constitute ihe. national or home industry. To tax one branch or this home industry for the benefit of another, would be unjust. Ko one of these interrsta can rightfully claim an advantage over. the others, or to be enriched by impoverishing nie omers. ah ore ju.vemment. In exercising a sound discretion in levying . . . a--- . discriminating duties williin Ilia limit prescrmea, care should bo taken that it be done in a manner not to bene fit thA wenlthv f.w. at the expense of the toiling mil lions, by taxing lowest the luxuries of life, for articles of unerior oualitv and liizli price, wuicii can onij uj imi .. h ilio wphIiIiv: and hurhest the necessaries nl or art a rvF rnarsP. ntia iiv.ana low price, which the tioor und sreat mass of our people must Co The burdens of government should, an far as practicable, be distributed jutly and equally among an classes oi our population. These general views, long entertained on ihia aubiect. 1 have decnid it proper lo reiterate. It is a subject upon which conflicting interests of sections and occupations are supposed to exist, and a spirit of mutual concession and compromise in adjusting its details should bec1ierihed by every paitwl our wide-spread country, a iLt on meana of preserving linnnony and cheer rul nuiescenre nf all in the operation of our revenue 3 "j , . . .

The republic of Texas has made known her desire to come into our Union, to form a part of our confederacy, and enjoy with us the blessing" of liberty secured and guarantied by our constitution. - Texas was once a part of our country was 'unwisely ceded away to a foreign power is now independent, and poaaesacs an undoubted

right to dispose of a part or the whole of her territory, and to merge Ler sovereignty as a separat and independent State, in ours. I congratulate my country that, by an act of liie late Congress of the United Slates, (he ascent of this government lias been given to the re-union ; and it only remains fr the two cou nines to agree upon the terms, to consummnle an object so. important to both. 1 regard the question ol apnei.ition as belonging ex-

Fon i-n powers should, therefore on the annexation or Texas to the United State not as the conquest of a nation seeking to' extend her dominions by arms and violence, bot as the peaceful arqiiisitoti of a territory once her own, by adding another member to our confederation, w ilh the conoenl of that member thereby diminishing the clmncea of war, and opening to them new and ever increasing markets for their products. - - To Texas the re-union is important, because the strong protecting arm of our government would be extended over her, and the vast resources of her fertile soil and genial climate wonld be speedily developed ; while the safety of New Orleans and of our whole southwestern frontier ngainst hostile' aggression, as well as the interests of the w hole Union, would be promoted by it. - In the earlier stages of our national existence, the opinion prevailed with some, th'it our system of confederated Slates could not operate- successfully over an extended territory, and serious objections he, al different times, been made to the enlargement of our boundaries. These objection were earnestly urged when wo acquired Louisiana. Experience has shown that they were not well founded. The title of numerous Indian tribes to vast tracts of country has been extinguished New b'ia'es have been admitted into the Union ; new Territories have been created, and our jurisdiction and hut extended over them. As our population has expanded, the Union hus been cemented and strengthened; ns our boundaries hare been enlarged, and our agricultural population has been spread over a larger surface, our federative system has acquired additional strength and security. It may well be doubled whether it would not be iu greater danger nl overthrow if our present population were confined to t lie comparatively narrow lin. its of the original thirteen States, j than II is, now that they arc sparsely settled over a more .. -. ? r i t,i-. j.i. expannea lerruory. 11 is connuenuy oencvea inai our system may be safely extended to the utmost bounds of our territorial limits; and that, as it hdl be extended, the bonds of our L nion, so Ur from being weakened, will become stronger. None can fail to see the danger to our safety and future peace, if Texas remains an independent Stale, or becomes an ally or dependency of some foreign nation more power ful than her If. Is there one among our citizens who would not prefer perpetual peace with Texas, to occasional wars, whirh so often occur between hoidering indepen dent nations? Is there one who would not prefer free intercourse with her, to high duties on all our products and manufactures which enter her ports or cross her frontiers! Is there one who Would not prefer an unrestricted communication with bcr citizens, to the froniier obstructions which must occur if she remains out of the Union! Whatever is good or evil in the local institutions of Texas, ill remain her own, whether annexed to tbe United States or not. None of the present Mates will be respon sible for them, any more than they are for the local insti tutions of each other. 1 hey have confederated together for certain fpecificd objects. Upon the same principle that they would refuse to form a perpetual union with Texas, because of her local institutions, our forefathers would have been prevented from forming our present Union. Perceiving no val.J objection to the measure, and many reasons f r its adoption, vitally auecting the peace, the safety, and the prosperity cf both countries, I shall, on the hroad principle which formed the basis and produced the adoption of our constitution, and not in any narrow spirit of sectional policy, endeavor, by all constitutional, honorable, and appropriate means, to consummate the expressed will of ihe peop!e and government of the United States, by the re-annexation of Texas lo our Union at the earliest practicable period. Nor will it become in a less degree my duty to assert and maintain, by all constitutional means the right of the United States to that portion of our territory which lies beyond the Kocky mountain!. Our title lo the counfry of Oregon is ." clear and unquestionable; and already are our people preparing to elfi'Ct that litle by occupying it with their wives and children. But eighty years ago, our population was confined on tbe west by the ride of tbe Alleghaniea. Within lhat period within the lifVUme, I might say, of some of my heareis our people, increasing to many millions, have filled the easlmi valley of the Mississippi ; adventurously ascended the Missouri to its head springs ; and are already engaged in establishing the blessings of self-government in valleys, of which the rivers flow lo the Pacific. Tbe world beholds the peaceful triumphs of the industry of our emigrants. To us belongs the duty of protecting ihem, adequately, wherever diey may be upon our soil. The jurisdicion of our laws, and the benefits cf our republican institutions, should be extended over them in ihe distant regions which they have selected for their homes. The increasing facilities of intercourse will easily bring the Slates, of which the formation in that part of our territory cannot be long delayed, within the sphere of our federative Union. In the mean time, every obligation imposed by Ireaty or conventional stipulations should be sacredly respected. Id the management of our fuitin iclations, it will be my aim to observe a careful respect for the lights of other nations, while uur own will be the fubj ?ct uf constant watchfulness. Equal anJ exact justice huu!d chaiactciize all our intercourse with foieigu countries. All alliances having a tendency to jeopard the welfare sad honor of our country, or aenüce any one of the national interest, will he studiously avoided; and yet no opportunity will be lost to cultivate a favorable understanding with foreign Governments, by which our navigation and commerce may br extended, and the ample product- of our fertile soil, as well at the manufacTuiea of oui skilful ai titans, finj a ready market and lemuocrating prices iu foieign countiics. . .'

In 1314, the interest to be paid amounted to about 10,( 00.C00 guilders. The tax payers began to feel the shears, and commenced a devil of a kicking. The shearers stood off and Baid to. the ort ditors, you must take half allowance this time or nothing : go they take y.COO.COO guilders and call it square. And thus they were sheared, nolens xoknr.

The Boston Courier, (whig,) and wlioe editor proclaims his desire to live and die iu the faith of the Hartford Convention, says: ,4Ve contend for American liberty lhat Americans shall be ruled, by Americans that foreigners who are attracted hero by tho mildne-s of our laws and the liberality of our "civil and religious institutions, shall have the privilege of educating themselves and their offspring in the principles o? republican government, iu our schools and colleges, and enjoy uu i,ie rewaros wnicn labor and mdiitrv can exupct or nemunn .but 1U in ! th -y shall not hold ices of trust ire the right lo vole for dose who or emolument, nor have the rf'hl lo vole I 1 a itftiii suc.i edifices. The Boston Atlas, whig, "of Nov. 27, 1344,' says: "While the whigs of this city are unanimously in favor, so far as we are aware, of the principles and policy of the self-styled native Americans, we trust few if any of them will be induced to forsake their ole party landmarks. If the naturalization laws are to be reformed, it can o.ily be done by strengthening the whig party the true -American- party." Here, in the policy chalked out . in 1344, are bofh the proposition of the Hartford Convention and the spirit of 1703. The identity could not be stronger. Albany Argus. Odd Fell a xycain. . Odd Fellowship indulges in no idle mummery ; her my&tic emblems, solemn ceremonies, without meaning to the, uninitiated, are pregnant with important recollections. From the first step of initiation through all the various degrees, the candidate is taught the most solemn truths by regular and progressive 6teps. They are taught in a manner calculated to make the most lasting impression, and while they improve the mind, make him at heart a better man. His duty to his Creator, his family, his neighbor and himself. rank among the first of his lefsons ; while the great principle of Charity presents itself at every step ; not that chariry which proclaimeth itself from the housetop, but "charity which doelh good by stealth and blushes to find it fame." A case passed under the immediate eye of the writer in a neighboring city, which may prove of interest to your reader?. In 1310, a gentleman from the north who xras an Odd Fellow, c-me south on some urgent business; on his way down the Mississippi he fell dangerously sick of typhus fever. The captain, crew, and boat physician despaired of his life, and being dedrcus to get rid of such a charge, determined to thrust the sick man ashore. On reaching the landing, the mate and hands were ordered to take him off upon a litter, and put him in one of those miserable doggeries which, to the disgrace of civilization, infest nearly -alj of our river towns. The rude hand cf the mate upon the wasted frame of the stranger, and his gruff voice as he bellowed out "go ahead," partly roused him from his stupor, and he faintly asked what they would do with him he wa told they were putting him ashore at . He inquired, are there any Odd Fellows here! A brother standing on the wharf, who had been gazing on the inhuman scene, replied, instantly, "Yes, there are. many and true." "Then," said. the sick stranger, "put me down, put me down right here. I shall be taken cafe of." He was then taken care of; though a stranger in a strange land, ready friends clustered around him they tested him,. he was an Odd Fellow, and in good standing in his Lodge ; it was enough, he was taken up by brothers hinds Fupporled on friendly bosoms he was provided a place in the best hotel, the best medical aid was called in, he was nursed by friends whose eye? never slept over bis couch of angrish. ' For many weeks his case was considered almost hopeless, but by strict attention he got well. He. returned . home to gladden the eyes of h.s aged mother, and to inf use new joy into the warm heart of his young and beautiful wife. Odd Fellowship is not only charitable, but it is philanthropic ; it gives the initiated brother in good standing a passport in every land Where the Order is known. Although a stranger in a strange land, he will have that which will gain Iiis admittance into the Lodre, when his hand, will be pressed by the hearty respond. ng grip nf a brplher, and his desires and necessities attended to. It is also sympathetic. It ne?er heard the widow figh, nor siy the orphan weep, and not relieve. Indeed in all Lodge there is a fund especially set apart for. the widow an! orpfian of deceased m rubers ; a committee is appointed from each Lodge, whose duty it is to sbe that the orphans are properly fed, cloaicd and educated.

POSTSCRIPT

: , Wamiixstox, March 6, 1343. D:ar Brother ; Last evening a fire broke out in the. National Theatre, which was totally destroyed, t - ether with some dozen other buildings, it being the larger fire which ha, occurred here during the last -. twenty years. . ' With the exception cf the new cabinet w hich I , ,-.,,',-, . ; ... m. o ' I shall probably close my business to-day or tomorrow, v, ten I tlidll start immediately fr home. I omitted to say that the Globe ofl.ce was in great danger, being within a few feet of the Theatre. The Empire Club rendered efficient 8ervhe, and a W ) events. G. A. C. Tl-.e Cabinet. The Globe of the 5th says: . s . All the nominations were acted on during the sitting, -except that of and confirmed Air. Bancroft, which was postponed until to-morruw, at the request of some member for what motive, we cannot d.viac. The cabinet is composed of men of talent- of- fice business aptitude of unblemished and e.xafted characters. All of them are distinguished for devotion to the democratic cause, each havivg seen at lea$t Mxtccn years of hard service twelve years under the lead of Jackson and Van Buren, and four c'uring the term which has resulted in the eleation of President folk: Cumberland ISond. Tyler vetoed the Harbor bill, as it is called, to which was added an appropriation lor the Cumberland Road. Sq we get nothing at present, if ever. Wc have never been sanguine of an appropriation, since Clay's death-blow to the road in 1840, for which O. II. Smith scored him so severely. We must get up a Bmall chunk of a w ar, when the government will desire to transport western Fqldier and munitions of war over roads three feet deep with mud. The necessity of a good military road will then be learned, if not before. Monov cnoiHi is every vcar fooled away on West roirrfcademy to finish the road without ditf.culty. L'ut that is a mill for the manufacture of Aristocrats and must be sustained, whether we have a military road or not. Three new cotton factories are about to be started in Canada.

During the year 1914 there were built in Enstun 1132 houses; in East Boston 1;05; and in South Boston 193 making a total of 1GJÖ houses, and an excess over the year 1343 of 07 hcu-cs. : The Reverend W.
