It seems to us that this is an opportunity which parenl* would do well to avail themselves of. If we may judge from what we heord the class perform the other night, we should sav that the pupils are not only directed to those most important items, strict time and a good intonation, but also, to the best mode of gradually developing and strengthening the voice and chest and. in short, to all those particulars that go to the formation ol a truly classical style of singing. We feel an interest in the continuance of these classes because, among other reasons, we believe that they would form a nucleus for a future and efficient Choral Society

PRESIDENT PIERCE'S INAUGURAL ADDRE3S, DELtTKBBD MASCH 4, 1833.

But this, so far from lightening my obligations, only adds to their weight.—

You have summoned me in my weakness. You must sustain me by* your strength.— While looking fcr the iulfilment of reasonable requirements yon will not be unmindful of the great changes which have occurred, even within the last quarter of a century, and the consequent augmentation and complexity of dnties imposed on the administration both of your home and foreign

^One of the most impressive evidences of thai wisdom is to be found in the fact that the actual working of our system has dispelled a degree of solicitude which at the outset disturbed bold hearts and far-reach ing intellects. The apprehension of dan gers from extended territory, multiplied States, accumulated wealth, and augment ed population, has proved to be unfounded.

The stars of your banner ,count nearly three-fold their original number. Your densely populated possessions skirt the shores of two great oceans, and yet this vast increase of people and territory has not

shown itself compatible with the harmonious action of the State and federal government's in their respective constitu ional spheres, but has offered an additional guaranty ol the strength and interity of both With an experience thus suggested, the pol icy of my administration will not be con trolled by any timid forebodings of evil from expansion. Indeed, it is not to be disguised that our attitude as a nation. Mid our po sition 00 the globe, render fee acquisition of certain possessions not within our jurisdiction evidently not only important for our protection in the future, but essential to the stability of commerce, and the peace of the world, Thi* territory should be obtained, however, not through a grasping spirit, but with a view to national interests and ®ecu tity, and in a manner consistent with tbe strictest observance of national faith.

the elements of inherent

force in the Republic has kept pace with its unparalled progression in territory, population. and wealth has been the subject of learned thought and discussion on both sides of the ocean.

Less than 63 years ago the Father of his Country made the then recent acession of North Carolina to the United States one of the subjects of hjs special congratulation.

At that moment, however, when the agitation consequent on the relutionary struggle had partially subsided when we were just emerging from the weakness of the con

federacy,

there was an evident conscious

ness of vigor equal to the great mission which was so wisely and bravely fulfilled by our fathers. It was not a presumptuous assurance, bulie calm faith, springing from a clear view of the source of power in a government constituted like ours and it is no paradox to say. that, although weak, the new born nation was intrinsically strong in population and apparent resources. It was

by a broad and intelligent compre

hension of right, and an all-pervading purpose to maintain that power. Stronger than armaments it came from the furnace of the revolution, tempered to necessity of the times.

The thoughts of the men ol that day were all patriotic. They wasted no portion of their energies upon idle and delusive speculations, but, with a firm and fearless step, advanced beyond the governmental landmarks which had, hitherto, circumscribed the limits ol human freedom and planted their standard where it has stood against the dangers which threatened it from'abroad. and 'intermil agitation, which at time has fearfully menaced it at home. They proved themselves equal to the solution of the great problem, aud showed that there minds had been illuminated by the drawing light of the revolution

The object sought was not a thin^dreamof, but was a thing realized. '1 hey had exhibited the power not only to achieve, but as all history affirms, that power so much more unusual the capacity to maintain. The oppressed throughout the world from that day to the present they have turned their eyes hitherward, not to find those lights extinguished, or to fear lest 1 hey should wane, but to be cheered by their steady and incaeasiftg brilliancy.— In this, our country has, in ifly judgment, fulfilled its highest duty to suffering humanly. It has spoken, and will coutinne to ipeak, no: only4y its words, but by its acts, in language of sympathy, encouragement, and hope

alt those who earnestly listen to

tones,which proclaims the largest national liberty but, after all the most auimated encouragement and potent appeals lor freedom will be its own history and its triumphs.

Pre-eminently the power of our advocacy reposes in our example, but no example is powerful for lasting,good, whatever apparent advantages may be gained, which j3 not based upon the eternal frinciples of right and justice. Our fathers have decided for themselves both upon the hour to declare and the hour to strike?— They were tlfteir own judges of the circumstances under which it became them to pledge to eaoh other "their lives, their fortunes, and th^r sacred honors," for tho ac quisition ol the priceless inheritance transmitted to us. The energy with which that great conflict was opened, under tho manifest guidance of Providence, tho uucomplaining endurance with which it was prosecuted to its consummation, were only surpassed by tho wisdom and the patriotic spirit of the concessions which characterized all the councils of the fathers of the coun-

p«.Sc «.«!»•«-

fe*ve co foul blot on ourfiwr record, mud I oust I may se&y give the assurance tbtt nonet witMa tbe fegitimate scope of my constitutional control, will be tolerated ©a tbe part of aajr portion of ourpitizesw which cannot cWtaige a ready juaiifratioa before tbe tribunal of u» emitted world.— An administration would be unworthy of confidence at borne or respect abroad,

it cease to be influence by tbe conviction that no apparent advantage can be purchashed at a" price so dew as that of national wronger dishonor

It is not your privilege as a nation to refer to a distant past but your striking history, though replete with instructions and furnishing abunnda.it grounds for Jiopeful confidence is comprised- within a brief space. But though your past is brief, your future is boundless, in its onward progress through the unexplored pathway of advancement, and will be limitless in duration. Hence a sound and comprehensive policy should embrace the distant future, as well as the urgent present.

The great object of our pursuits as a republic should be consistent with the tiacquility and the interests of the rest of mankind. With neighboring nations we should cultivate kindly and friendly relations, and we can desire nothing in regard to them so much as to see them consolidate their strength and pursue the paths of prosperity and happiness. If in tbe course of their growth, we should open new channels nf trade and create additional facilities for friendly intercourse, the benefits realised will be equal and mutual.

Of the complicated system of European policy we have, hertofore, been independent and from their wars, tumults, and anxieties we have been entirely exempt. While these are confined to the nations with which they originated and within their legitimate jurisdiction, they cannot afTect us, except in appealing to our sympathies in the cause of human freedom, and universal advancement. But the vast interests of commerce are common to all mankind, and tbe advantages of trade and inter-national intercourse must always present noble fields for the moral influence of a great people.

With these views firmly and honestly carried out we have a right to expect and shall under all circumstances, require prompt reciprocity.

The rights which belong to us, as a na lion are not alone to be regarded but those which pertain to every citizen in his individual capacity at home and abroad, must be sacredly maintained. So long as he can discern every star in its place upon that ensign—without wealth to purchase for im a place, it will be his privilege and must be his acknowledged tight, to stand unabashed even the presence of Princes, with the proud conciousness that he is himself one of a nations of sovereign, and that he cannot, in his legitimate pursuits, wander so far from home, that the agent whom he shall leave behind in the place I now occcupy will see thatou rude hand of power or yrantical passion is laid upon him wilh impunity. He must realize that everywhere, whereever our enterprise may rightfully seek tho protection pf our flag American cilizenship is an inviolable panoply for the security .of American rights

And in this connection it can hardly be necessary to re-afiirtn a principle which should be now regarded as fundamental that the rights, security, and repose of this Confederacy reject the idea of interference or colonization on this side of the ocean by any foreign powers, beyond their present jurisdiction, as utterly inadmissible.

The opportunies of observation furnishnished by my brief experience as a soldier, "confirm in my own mind the opinion enterlained and acted upon by others from tho formation of the goverment, that the maintainenco of large standing armies in our country would be not only dangerous but unnecessary. They also illustrate the importance, I might well say, the absolute necessity, of that military science and practical skill, furnished in such an eminent degree, which made your army what it is, under the discipline and instructions of officers, not more distinguished for their attainments, gallantry, and devotion to the public service, than for their unobtrusive bearing and high moral lone.

The army, organized, must be the nucle us around which in every time of need, the strength of our military power, the sure bulwark of your defence, a national militia, may be readily formed into a well disciplined and efficient organization and as to the skill and self devotion to the Navy, I assure you, you may take tho performance of tho past as a pledge for the future, and may confi dently expect that tho flag which has waved untarnished over every sea, will stillJloat in undiminished honor.

But these like many other subjects, will be appropriately brought, at a future time to the co-ordinate branches of the Government, to which I shall look with profound and with trustful confidence that they will accord to me the aid and support so much needed and which their experience and wisdom will readily suggest in the administration of affairs. You expected a devoted integrity in the public service and in all its departments, so marked as never justly to be questioned. If this reasonable expectation be not realized, I frankly confess that one of*your leading ho^es is doomed to disappointment, and that my efforts in a very important particular* must result in a humiliating failure.

Good citizens may well claim the protection of good laws and benign influenoe of good government but a claim for office is what the people of the Republic should nev er recognize. No reasonable man of anj party will expect the Administration to be so regardless of its responsibility and the obvious elements of success, as to retain persons known to under the influence ol political hostility, and partisan prejudice, in positions which will require not only severe labor, but cordial Co-operation. Having no implied engagements to ratify, no rewards to bestow, no resentments to remember, no personal wishes to consult, in selecting in selecting for official stations, I shall fulfill tbe difficult and delicate trust, admitting no motive as worthy either my character or position, which does not contemplate an eSfcient discharge of duty Mid the best interests of my country.

And here, in my opinion, are the consid-

erations

In expressing briefly my views upon an important subject which has recently agitated the Nation to almost a fearful degree, I am moved by no other impulse than a most earnest desire for the perpetuation ot that Union which has made us what we are, showering upon us blessings and confertng a power and influence which our faihers could hardly have anticipated, even wilh their most sanguine hopes directed to afar off future.

The sentiments I now announce were not unknown before the expression of the voice which called me here My own position upon this subject, was clear and unequivocal upon the record of my acts and it is only recurred to at this time becauso silence might pet haps be inisconstructed. With tho Union my best and dearest hopes are entwined. Without it, what aro we indiuallv and oollectively What become? of the advancement of our race in religion, in

Such have been and are my convictions, and upon them I shall act. I fervently hope that the question is at rest, and that no sectional or fanatical excitement may »gain threaten the durability of our institutions, or obscure the light of our prosperity.

But let not the foundation of' our hopes rest upon man's wisdom. It will not be sufficient that sectional prejudices find no place in the public deliberations. It will not be sufficient that the rash counsels of human passions aro rejecied. It musi be felt that there is no national security but in the nation's humble acknowledgements of, and reliance upon God anJ his overruling providence.

We have been carried safely through a perilous crisis. Wise counsels like those which gave us the Constitution, pervailed to uphold it. Let the period be remembered as an admonition, and not as an encouragement of any section of the Union to make experiments where experiment are fraught with fearful hazards. Let it be impressed upon all hearts, that beautiful as our fabric is, no earthly Power or wisdom could ever reunite its broken fragments.*
