He said: TI1E in.VrOt BAL ADORE.-?!. There Is no constitutional or legislative requ rement that the Pres dont shall take the oatldof office ta the presence of the people. But there is so manifest an appropriateness in the public induction to office of the Chief Exet ut.to officer of the Nation that from the beginning of the Government the people to whose service the official oath consecrates the officer, have been called to witness the solemn ceremonial. The oath taken id this presence of the people becomes a mutual covenant: the officer covenants to serve the whole body ot the people by a faithful execution of the laws, so that they nffiv be the unfailing defense und security of those who respect and observe them, and that neither wealth, station nor the power of combination shall be able to era Jo their Just nenaltio*, or to wrest them from a beuelieent Jublic piapcoe to serve the ends of ciueliy or selUshoess, My promise is spoken: yours unspoken, but not the less real and solemn.1 Tue people of every State have here their representatives Surely I do sot misinterpret the spirit Of ihe occasion when I assume that the whole bodyot the people covenant with me and with each other to-day to sUppoit and defend the Cons.ltution an t the Union of the States! to yield willing obedience to nil the laws and each to every other citizen his equal civil and politioat rights. Entering thus solemnly into covenant With each other, we may reverently iuroke and conthl-ntty expect lha tavor and help of Almghty God, that He will give to me wisdom, strength and fidelity, and to our people a spirit of fraternity and a love of righteousness and peace. This occasion derives peculiar loiierest from the fact that the pres dential term; which ba gins this day, is tho twenty-sixth under our Constitution. The drst inauguration of President Washington took place m Mew York, where Congress was then sitt ng. on,the thirtieth day ot April, J779, having be-n deferred by reusou of delays attending the organisation of the Congress and the canvass ot tho electoral vote.

* W r • - ' S. '/■ Prttld’Hl B Triton. Our people have already worthilf observed the centennials of the Declaration of Independence. of the Battle o( Yorktown and cd the Adoption of the Constitution; and will shortly celebrate. in New York, the institution of the second (treat department of our constitutional scheme of ttoTemroent. When the centennial of the institution of the judicial department, by the onrauitation ot tne Snort-rue Court, shall have been suitably observed, as I trust it will be, our Nation will have fully entered Its second century, t will not attempt to note the marvelous ana in (treat part happy contrasts (between our country, a* it steps over the threshold into its second century of organised existence under the Constitution, and that weak but wisely-ordered young Nation that looked undaunted down the first century, when all its years stretched out before I t.! Our people will not fail at th's tine to recall the incidents which accompanied ihe instltu-t-on of government under the Constitution, or Bud inspiration and guidance in the te.ichmgs and rxamnle ot Washington and ti is great associates. and hope and courage in the contrast which thirty-eight populous umll prosperous States offer to the thirteen States, weak In every thing except courage and! the love of liberty, that then fr ngsd war Atlantic sea-hoard. The Territory of Dakota has now a population greater than any of the original States, except Virginia, and greater than the aggregate of five ol the s maller States In ifWt The center of population, when our National capital was located, wan east ot B >1tiroore; and it was argued by cu.ny well-in-formed persons that it would more eastward rather than westward. Yet, tu 1*0 it was found to be near Cincinnati, and the new census. about to be taken, will show -.mother stride to the Westward. That which was the body baa come to be only the rich fringe of the Nation’s robe. But our growth has not been limited to territory, population and aggregate wealth, marvekms as it has been in each ot these dircctons. The masses of our people are better fed. clothed and housed than their fathers were. The faelllUes for popular education have been vastly enlarged and more generally dif-f fused. The virtues of courage and patriotism have given recent pro f of thelif continued presence and increasing power In the hearts and over the lives of our people. The influences of religtou hare been multiplied and strengthened. The sweet offlcsui of charily have greatly Increased. The virtue of temperance la held In higher estimation. We have not attained an Ideal condition. Not all o! our people are happy and prosperous: not all of them are virtuous and law-abiding: but on the whole, the opportunities offered to the individual to secure the comforts ot life are better than are found elsewhere, and largely better than they were here one hundred years sgo. The surrender o( a large measure of sovereignty to the General Government effected by tbe adoption of the Constitution, was not accomplished until tbe suggestions of reason were strongly reinforced bv the note Imperative voice of egper.ence. The divergent Interests of peace speedily demanded a -more perfect anion.” The merchant, the ship-master and the manufacturer discovered snd d sclosed to our statesmen and to the people that commercial emancipation mast be added to the poittical freedom which had been so bravely won. The commercial policy of the mother country had not relaxed any mf its hard and oppressive features. To hold in check the development ol our commercial marine, to prevent or retard the establishment and growth of manufactures in the States, and to to secure the American market for their shops, and the carrying trade fur their ships, was the policy ot European statesmen, and was pursued with the most selfish vigor. Petitions pooled in upon Congress urging Ihe imposition of discriminating duties that shoul-i encourage the production of needed things mt home. The patriotism of the people, which n.n longer found a field of exercise la war. was en ergetioally directed to the duty ot equipping the young Republic for the defense of Its independence by mahmf its people self-dependent. Societies for the promotion of home manufactures and tar encouraging the use of domestic* In the dress of the people were organised in many of the States. The revival, at the end of the century, of the same patriotic interest in the preservation and development of domestic industries. and the defense of car working people against Injurious foreign competition, is an incident worthy of attention. It is not a departure. bat a return, that wo have witnessed. The protective policy had then its opponents. The argument was made, ns now, that its benefits inured to particular classes or sections. If the question became in any sense or at any time toe lions', was only because slavery existed in some pans of the States. But for this, there was no reason why the eot-too-producing States should ne t have led or walked abreast with the New la the Mpdoctioa of«

Is i needed for their defense as well as tor bis own? 1 do not doubt that if those men in the South who now accept the tariff v.ews of Olay and the constitutional expositions of Webster, would courageously avow and defend their real convictions they would not (lad it, difficult, by friendly instruction and co-operation, to make the black man their e&lcieni and safe ally, not only ia establishing correct principles ia our National Administration, but in preserving, for the-r local communities, the bcnetUs of social order and economical aacl honest government. At leas? until the gmaboBlees of kindness and education have been ratrly trie I. the contrary conclusion can not be plausibly Urged. 1 b&vsf altogether rejected tue suggestion of a special executive policy for any section of the country. It is the duty of the Exocut re to administer and enforce, in the methods and by the instrumentalities pointed out and provided, by the Oonstitut on, all the laws enacted by Oongreis. These laws are general and their administration should be un form and equal. As a citixtn may not elect what laws be will obey, neither may the Kxecut ve elect which he Will onforoe. The duty to obey and to execute embraces the Constitution in its entirety, and tile whole code of laws enacted under it. The evil example of permitting ind viduals. corporations or cummunities to nullify the laws because they cross some scitlsh or local interests or Srojddifles is full of dancer, not only to the atton at large, but much more to those who use tuts pernicious expedient to escape their just obligation or to obtain an Unjust advantage over others. They will presently theniselves be competed to appeal to the law for protection: and those who would use the law us a .defense must not deny that Use of it to others. If our great corporations would more scrupulously observe their legal limitations and duties taey Would have loss cause to complain of the unlawful limitations of their rights or of violent interior.: are With their operations. The community Unit, by bincert or secret agreement among its eitixens, dentes to a portion of Its members ilteir r ght3 tinder the law, has severed the only sate bond of social ordor and prosperity. Tue evil works, from a bad center, both ways. It deraorulitea those who practice it, and destroys the faith of those who suffer by it ' in the eflicicncy of the law as a safe protector.

A community where law is the rule of conduct, and where courts, not mobs, execute its penaltk-*„:s the only attractive Held for business investments and honest labor. Our naturalisation laws should be so amended as to make the inquiry into the character and good disposition of persons applying for citizenship more careful and searonine. Our existing laws have been, in their administration, an unimpressive and often an uuuitalligihle form. Weaoeo t the man as a citizen without any fcuowledge of b s fitness, and he assumes the duties of eit zeushin without cny knowlcdge as to what they aro. The privileges of American ciitzonshlp are so great and Its duties so grave that we may well insist upon n good knowledge of every person applying for citizenship, and a (food knowledge by him of our Institutions. Wo should not cease to be hosp ta Ic to immigration, but we should cease to he careless as to the character of it. Tuore are men of uH races, even to the best, whose coming Is necessarily a bunion upon our puolic revenues or a threat to social order. These should lie Identilled and excluded. We have lumpily maintained a policy of avoid; ing all Interference with rinrope-m affairs. Wo have been only interested spectators of their contentions in diplomacy and m war. realty t • Use our fneDdiy offices to promote peace, but never obtruding our advice and never attempt ing unfairly to coin the distresses of other Dowel's into commerefhl udvai.tags to ours Ives. We havea'just right toexpecl that our European policy will be the American policy of European courts. Mis so manifestly incompatible with those precautions for our peace and safety, wh eh all the great powers hub Malty observe and enforce In matters affect ng them, that a shorter waterway between our Eastern and tv eateru seaboards should be dominated by any Europern government, that we may confidently expeet that such a purpose w.H not bo entertained by auv friendly power. We shall in the future, as la the past, use every endeavor to maintain aud enlarge our friendly relations with all the great piwers. but they will not expect us to look Ktualy upon Buy project that would leav» us subject to the dangers of a hostile observation or environment We have not sought to dominate ' or to absorb any of our weaker neighbors, hot rather to aid . and encourage them to establish free and stable governments restrug upon the consent of itaotr own people. We have a clear right to expect, therefore, ’hat no European government will seek to establish colonial dependence upon the territory of those iUQepeodent American States, That which a sense of Justice restrains us fro n seek in;. they may be reasonably expected willingly to forego. It must not be assumed, however, that our interests are so exclusively American that our entire in 'Mention to any events that may transpire elsewhere can be takcu for granted. Our citizens, domiciled for purposes of trade in all countries and in many of the islands of the sea. demand and will have our adequate cure in their personal anu commercial rights. The ncccssit cs of our navy require convenient, eoallug stations and dock and harbor privileges. These and other trailing prlv leges we will fee! free to obtain only by means that do not in auy degree partake of coercion, however feeble the government from which we ask such concessions. But having fairly obtained them, by methods and for purposes eutlrely consistent with the most friendly disposition toward all other powers, oar consent will be necessary to any modification or impairment of the con cess oa. We shall neit her fad to respect the flag of any friendly nation or the Just rights of its eitizeus, nor to exact the like treatment for our own. Calmness, justice ami consideration should characterize our diplomacy. The offices of au intell gent diplomacy or of frlondly arb tratiou iu proper cases should be adequate to the peaceful adjustment of all International difficulties. By such methods we will make our contribution to the world's peace, which no nation values more highly, and uvo d the approhrlum which must fall upon the nation Mat ruthlessly breaks it The duty deyo'yed by law upon the President to nominate and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate to appoint all public officers whose appointment is not otherwise provided tor iu the Constitution or by act of CongrcsSfhas become very burdensome, nod .ts wise and effle ent discharge full of difficulty. The civil list Is so large that a personal knowledge of any large number of the applicants ts impossible. The President must rely upon the representations of others and these aro often made Inconsiderately and without any just sense of responsibility. I have a right, I think, to Insist that those who, volunteer or ore invited to give advice as to appointments shall exercise consideration and fidelity. A high sense of duty and an ambit on to Improve the service should characterise all public officers. There are many ways in which the convenience and comfort of those who have business with our public officers may be promoted hjr a thoughtful and obliging officer, and I shall expect those whom 1 may appeal to Justify their selection by a conspicuous effictovey in the discharge of their duties. Honorable party serv ee will certainly not be esteemed by me a disqualification for public office, but it will in no ease be allowed to serve m a shield of official negligence, inrompotency or delinquency. It is entirely creditable to seek public office by proper methods, and with proper motives, and *11 applkianta will bo treated with consideration. But I shall seed, and the heads of the departments will esmd, time for inquiry and deliberation. Persistent Importunity will not, therefore, be the best supports of an application lor office. Heads of departments, bureaus and all other public officers, haring any duty eonoeotet t Herewith, will be expected to enforce the Civ.lService |> fully and without evasion. Beyond this obvious duty I hope to do somatolng more to advance the reform or the etvll service. The ideal, or even my own Ideal, 1 shall probably not attain.

Our revomw •honld be amp)* lo meet »he ordinary annual demands upon oar treasury wth a sufU stent margin lor those extraordinary but scarcely less imperatire demands which arise now aurt then. Expenditures should always be made with oeotlomy. oud only upon public necessity. Wastefulness. proCiffacy or favoritism in public expenditures is criminal. But there is noth ng in the condition of our country or of our people 10 suggest that any thin* presently necessary to the public prosperity, security or honor should he ufiduly postponed. It will be tiio ditty of Congress wisely to forecast and est % mate these ex', rxordinary demands, and haring added them to our ordinary expenditures to so adjust our revenue laws that no considerable annual surplus will remain. We will foikutsately bo able lo apply to the redemption or the public debt any sinall »ttd unforeseen excess of revenue. Tltis is bettor than to reduce our income below cor necessary exoendltnres with the resulting cho ee between another change of our revenue laws and an increase of tho public debt. It is quite possible, I am sure, to effect the necessary reduction in our revenues without Jut-caking dawn our protective land or seriobsly injuring any domestic Industry. The emstmetion of a lufflofent number of modern wacslitpa, and of their neces wry urmamcnt, should progress as nphlly as is consistent with cars and perfection in plans and workmanshiim The spirit, courage and shill of our naval efifft-rs and soaroen have many ttmo3 in our history given to weak ships and lneftteienl guns a rating greatly beyond that 01 tho naval 1st.

Our pension laws should give more adequate and disernn noting relief to the Union soldiers and sailers, and to their widows and orphans. Such occasions us this should remind us that we owe every thing to their valor and S’wriUeo. It Is a suoject of congratulation that there is a near prospect of the admission Into the Union of the Dakotas, and Montana und Washington Terri ories. This act of justleo has been unreasonably' delayed In the ease ot some of them. The people who havo settled these Terr.tories arc intelligent, enterprising and patriotic. mid the accession of these new States w II add strength to the Nation. It is due to the settlers in the Territories who have availed themselves of the invitations of our land laws to make homes upon the public domain, that their titles should bo speedily adjusted, and their honest entries eon firmed by putout. It is very gratifying to observe the general interest now being manifested In the reform ot our election laws. Those who have been for ‘ years railing attention to tho pressing necessity of throwing about the ballot-box and abont mo elector further safeguards in order that our elections might not only be free and pure, but might clearly appear to be so, will welcome tho accession of any w ho did not so soon discover the need of reform. The National Congress has not as yet taken control of elections In that. case over which the Constitution gives it jurisdiction, but has accepted and adopted the election laws of the several Status, provided p ‘tiaW^ypr their violation and a method of. supervisd^BOnlv the inefficiency of the State laws, «r Sri unfair or partisan adminlitrat on of them coal'd suggest a departure from this policy- It was clearly, however, in tho contemplation of the framers of the Constitution that such an exigency might arise, and provision Was wisely made for tt. The freedom of the ballot, is a condition of onr National life, and no power vested in Congress or In the lit ecu l ve to se are or perpetuate it should remu'n unused upon occasion. The people of all the Congressional districts havo an equal interest that the election tn each shall truly express tho views and wishos of a majority of the qualified electors residing within it. The results of such elections are not local, an t tho Insistence of electors res d ng in other districts that they shall

n*' pure uti l Tree docsuol savor at nil oi impertinence If, hi any of the States, the public security is thtsnght to be threatened by ignoranco among the electors, the obvious remedy isedubat on. The sympathy and help of our people wHl not be withheld from any community struggling with special embarrassments or tiifllcuUics connected with the suffrage. if the remedies proposed proceed upon lawful lines and aro promoted by Just and honorable methods. How shut! those who practice election frauds recover that respect for the sanctity of the ballot which is the first condition and obligation of Rood citizenship? The mar. who has come to regard the h-dlot-box as a juggler’s hat has renounced his allogiance. Let us exact patriotism and moderate our party contentions. led those who would die for the flag on the field of battle, give a better proof of l oir patriotism and a hgher Rlory to the r counter by promotloR fraternity and justly.. A party success that is achieved bv unfair methods or by practices that partube of revolution is hurtful and evanescent, even lrom a party standpoint. Wo should hold our differtug opinions in mutual respect. and, having submit ted them to the arbitrament of the ballot, should accept an adverse judgment with the same respect that we would have demanded of onropponenta if the decision htul been in our favor. No other people liavs a government more worthy of the r respect and love, or a land so magnificent in extent, so pleasant to look upon and so full of generous suggeatoji to enterprise and labor. God has placed upon our head a diadeiu, and has laid at our foet power and wealth beyond definition and calculation. But we must not forget that we take these gifts upon the condition that justice and mercy shall hold the reins of power, and that the upward avenue sf hope shall be free to all people. I do not mistrust the future. Dangers hare been in frequent ambush along our pathi hut we conquered and vanquish^ 1 them all. Passion has swept some of our communities: but only to give us new demonstration that the great bo ly of our pobple are stable, patriotic and law-abiding. No political party cm long pursue advantage at the expense of public honor. or by rude and indecent methods, without protest and fatal d safiectlon in its own body. The peaceful agencies of commerce are more fully reve ding the necessary unityof all our communities, and the tncre udtiR intercourse of our people is promoting mutual respect. Wo shall find unalloyed pleasure in the revelation wh'ch our next census will make of the swift development of tho great resources of some ol the States. Etch State will—bring it generous contribution to the groa^nggregate of the Nation's increase. And, when the harvests from the Holds, the cattle from the bids, and the ores of the earth shall have been weighed, counted and valued, all will turn fr tit them all to crown with the highest honor the State that has most promoted education, virtue, justice anti patriotism among its people. The crowd immediately around the platform remained with heads uncovered during the delivery of the entire address, and frequently interrupted the President with vocilerous applauses At the conclusion of the address, they cheered again and again and again. The Pres, ident bowed his acknow edgincuts. Ho was tbcu escorted through the checr.ng crowd on she platfo m Into the capilol. He walked to the bas-meut door, where be had entered the building, and where his carriage was waiting for hlin. He and the cx-Presideut, with two member* of the committee of arrangements took seats in the carriage, and were driven out to join the procession. As the President and ex-Presldent drove out from the carriage eatranco of the Senate wing of the Capttof. the head of tho procession appeared tn the great open space in front of the east portico, and joinlns it at tho head of tho line, the presidential parly was driven down Pennsylvania avenue jnd to tho Executive Mansion. Meantime the process'on began to uncoil from the side streets on Capitol hill. It was or huge proportions. The rain had not Interfered with the enthusfcsm or the patriotism of the members of the military and c.ric organizations who bad eome to Washington for the parade. Fully forty thousand men marched in the rain to the music of a thous rod bands down the broad avenue botweon lines of cheering people. The stands on the avenue wore not only well filled, but there was a dense crowd. The windows were crowded, and tho covered balconies were all full. Occasionally a head peered over the edge of the roof of somo tall building. At the head ol the column rode tho grand marshal. General dames A Beaver, andhlschief-of-sUff. General Daniel E. Hastings.
