We belong to that4 Jorge portion of the American people to whom he (in common parlance) "owns nothing." He cannot disappoint us* except by ruling firmly, wisely, nob!y. We cannot fairly complain even of what goems to i*a very bad in his inaugural, for his past career had prepared u* to expect it.— Those who wit! be pained have no right to be surprised by St.

Yet we must say thai there is much In this Inaugural which seems to ua not vnly wrong but mnladroit. We think even the opening allusion to his late be reavement unhappily placed in juxtaposition With much th'ut is embodied in the same document. The

UNIONISM

We havo it on good authority that there are now among the office-seekers «t Washington at least one hundred men who according to their own uccoums tut tied tho tides of all the great battles in Mexioo in favor of the American arms, three hundred who wero tho first to pull down with their own hands the flags of Chnpuhepec und MoUuo del Hey five hundred who saved the life of General Pierco in battle by interposing their own bodies between him and bristling bayonets, whizzing Iwices, and uplifted sabres and a thousand and odd who rendered him and tho nation the astonishing service of fust-mentioning his name in connection with the Presidency.— Louisville Journal.

The Springfield Re|Hiblicon relates tho following "touch,of nature A car lull oi passengers passed over tho Western Railroad, in which occurred a simple but touching scene worthy of record. One of the passengers was a woman, carrying in her arms a child who annovdd every one by its petulance and cries. Mile after mile the passengers bore the infliction of its noise, which rather increased than diminished, until at last it became furious, and the passengers nearly so. There wore open -complaints, and one man shouted "take •the child out," The train stopped at a station, when an old man arose, and made the simple statement that the father of the child had died, recently, it way from home, that the mother hod been on a

visit to her friends, and had died, and her body was on board the train, and that the child was in the arms of a wo/nan who was a stranger to it. it was *eaough. There was a tear in neatly Avtvrv eye «nd all were melted to pity and patience.

All

would

do very well by itself, but it rides awkwardly in the same vehicle with hi* frank avowals of his determination to nnply the bowstring relentlessly to the lY»lm»re oftic6.-ho!der0t who are in the main an zealous Criiun pavers as he is/ So the non* interference portion of the Inaugural would read beuer in a paper which did not so significantly aver that

What is the ufl of telling the world how honorable, peaceful and well behaved we are, if wu at the same time tell them that they havo possessions which wc need, »ind in due time will have, somahow Who does not see that our pro Cessions and self praise*-a re .completely titiililiefl by our bravado

But on another point the new Presi-j dent is still more glaring in his self-ex postire. That he whoyld glorify our frec-j doin,our "broad ur«d intelligent cornpie heriftion of rights,*' our fulfillment of 1 our

ty," our radinrit example, so cheering to "the oppressed throughout the world,'* &c.'&c., Is very fair Buncombe, and would pass by itself without provoking criticism. Hut that He who indulges in this sort of ••highliiluting" "should proceed in the self same document to glo rify slave-hunting as a patriotic duty— to •denounce a consistent devotion to Human Liberty as the offspring of feverish ambition or of morbid enthusiasm" —and to cheer on in every manner the hlood-houtids baying on the track of the hunted fugitive, guilty of a dark skin uti'i un honest desire to work for his own wife and children rather than a master's —and, finally, to mix all this up with! '•humble dependence on God," "our prosperity under Piovidcnco," 6cc. &c.j —this seems to us a medley quite as in

congruous as Suwnrrow's and not less mestfc Liquors. Wines, &.c. audacious. "Father," suid a frank boy, whoso sense of propriety had been shocked by iho parental admixture of supplications and execrations, "1 wish you would either quit praying or swear* iny—1 don't mind which."—N. V. Tri* buite.

Tho New York Courier and Enquirer says that large proportion of the offico-scekers are the officers in the Mexican war. teen officers of one regiment have waitcd on President Piorco in a body and nignificd their expectations of reward.—*it is understood that the President is partial to this class of applicants.
