We copy the following gni2hio and spicy
sketch of the delivery of the President's Inaugural
Address, from the Albany Argus:
At half past one o'clock, all being arranged, the oath of
oGQco was administered toGen. Pierce by the Chief Justice,
as follows :
"I do solemnly affirm that I will faithfully execute the
o!ticc of President of the United States, and will, to the best
of mv ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution
or the United States."
It will be rcmarlccjl lhat.Ccn. Pierce, in taking the oath,
did not, as has been ordinarily the custom, say, "I solemnly
swear," but I solemnly allirm; but instead of kissing the
book in Southern fashion, he raised his right band and held
it aloft until the pledge was read. The whole of the cere
mony was admirably carried out. When General Pierce
took the oath, with head uncovered, and raising one hand to
heaven, while he laid the other on the Holy Book, the spec
tators also uncovered, even in the snow that was falling at
that time, and many of them lifted up their hands as if in an
act of the most fervent devotion. It was au impressive
solemn scene.
After this ceremony had been completed, the President
stepped to the front ofthe platform, was greeted with en
thusiastic cheers, and proceeded to deliver the Inaugural
Address.
The reading of the address was followed by loud cheering
and the liring of cannon, and enthusiasm prevailed to the
greatest extent.
The address, which the President delivered unfalteringly
from memory, and without a single note, was received with
great enthusiasm by the vast multitude, particularly those
portions of it that asserted the -Monroe doctrine, the protec
tion of American citizens abroad, the firm adherence and
his determination to cam- out the fugitive slave law. Cries
of good, good, and other warm expressions of admiration,
were elicited from the crowd. The sentiments the tone of
address the earnest manner iu which it was Spoken his
beautiful action his manly, erect appearance his pale cast
of countenance, in which intellect and courage were thepre
domincnt features and his clear, loud voice, distinctly
heard by the remotest of his audience, all combined to make
a deep impression iu fuvorofGcuer.il Pierce; anil many as
serted that this was the best Inaugural addi ess ever dclivei ed
from that sjiot. He is undoubtedly a very cll'cctive speak
er. The ladies were in ccstacics, and so anxious were some
who happened to be in the rear to sec and hear him, that
they climcd upon the pediments of the columns of the Capi
tol, to their no small danger. Although, it was a glorious
spectacle of sublime majesty, casting into the shade theidle
pomp and unmeaning pageantry of the coronation of kings
and emperors.
The address was delivered by Gen. Pierce, after iak'mg
ofT his overcoat, amid immense cheering, just exactly as if
he were delivering an extempore speech. It will be re
membered that Presidents Taylfcr, Polk, and others, read
their addroses from the manuscript. When he came to
that part of his address which related to the protection' of
American citizens abroad, he turned face to face with Mr.
Fillmore and the diplomatic corps, and laid down the law
with thrilling emphasis, and when he again turned to the
mass of the people in front, occupying the vast square be
low, they shouted with delight, and every man of fifty thous
and iu the streets declared that Pierce is the mau for tho
time.
President Pierce is a graceful and striking speaker, and
his voice was clear and distinct, and his style of de
livery was excellent. He lias appeared remarkably eclastic,
cool and self possessed foi the last few days; but espccially
tc-day. He rose at daylight and has been busy the entire
day, and he evidently feels that he has the game in haudaud
intends to hold it.
The JTkw Postmaster General. The Hon.
James Campbell, of Pennsylvania, selected by Gen.
Pierce to preside over the Post Oflice Department,
will, we do not hesitate to predict, prove one of the
best selections that could have been made for that
important post. It is getting to be the most la
borious department of the government, with its
tliTrty thousand appointments, and its constantly
increasing patronage, improvements, and the accu
mulating wants of the whole community. The pub
lic interests pertaining to it are eminently progres
sive; and they are interests, too, about which the
American people arc perhaps more tenacious than
those connected with and controlled by any other
branch of the government To administer its duties
with success and general satisfaction requires con
stant vigilance, untiring industry, much legal
knowledge and experience, and in its practical as
pects, firmness of purpose, well tempered with cour
tesy Of manner and sound discretion. Upon the
discreet or indiscreet management of this depart
ment greatly depends the popularity or unpopularity
of the eutireadmin'slration. The important experi
ment of low postage, as well as other matters of re
form, renders it peculiarly a responsible post at this
time, requiring energy, close application, and an
enlightened policy on the part of its oilieial head.
Judge Campbell is not, perhaps, so extensively ,
known throughout tue country as some other gent
lemen who might have been selected, the offlcialpo
sitions which he has hei ctofore occupied not having
been such as to bring htm conspicuously before the
nation at large. But, as a prominent member of
the bar of his own State, and as a Judge, and, in
fact, in every station of responsibility in which he
lias been placed, he has discharged his duties with
ability and great fidelity. In all business transac
tions he is straightforward and prompt, with a
frank and pleasing address, and a constitution
which even the hard and incessant labor of that de
partment cannot easily impair. New York Herald.-,
Aiteotixg Incident A M aster's Life Saved uv
"ins Slave. On Sunday last, Mr. G. McCann, wliile
crossing the Mississippi river alone in a canoe, from
Battle "Island to his plantation, whither Jie had
.been on a visit to his l'riend aud neighbor on the
Island, Ben. Hardin, Esq., was upset in the middle
.of the river, lie clung to the canoe until lie had
floated opposite to the wood yard on his farm, when
his.cries.attracted the attention of one of his negro
men, the bpy immediately put off in a skiff, to the
rescue pfhis master. Before the negro arrived, Mr..
McGann had become exhausted, and sunk. The
faithful negro succeeded, however, at the imminent
peril of his own life, in reaching his master, which
e did by seizing him by the hair, and took him in
0 the skiff. Mr. McCann was in an insensible
state, and life was nearly extinct By the assiduous
attentions of the servant,.and the application of such
arestoratives as were at hand, he was brought to con
sciousness. On Wednesday, when the John Si

of-historj, touching the social and moral condition
of the master and the slave. Si. Louis Republican.

NASHVILLE, TENN.
TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 15, 1833.
MR. McCLELLAND.
The Banner the other day stated that th"i3 gen
tleman, who holds the position of Secretory of iJie
Interior, had voted for the Wilmot Proviso. We
had supposed that no one, acquainted with the pol
iticians of Michigan, doubted the soundness of Mr.
McClelland on the compromise question. He is the
warm and devoted friend of Gen. Cass, whose iden
tity with the compromise measures partisan malice
itself can not question, and whose argument against
the Wilmot Proviso in his letter to Mr. Xicholson,
and also, in his speech in the Senate in 1850, is so
indelibly impressed upon the popular memory. Po
litical affiliations like these should of itself fix his
conservative position. We are not, however, left
to such arguments. In 1850, Mr. McClelland was
President of a Democratic State Convention in Mi
chigan, at which the following resolution was unan
imously adopted :
HesdceJ, That this Convention tenderto the people of the
California has been received into the family of States, terri
torial government established for New .Mexico, Utah, and
the boundary line of Texas adjusted. That we hail the
adoption of these measures, alike just and equitable to all,
by which the country has been restored to harmony, as a
triumph of wisdom over sectional strife in our common coun
try. Shortly after the nomination of Gen. Pierce, Mr.
McClkllano was the nominee of the democratic
convention of Michigan for Governor. The con
vention which nominated him, adopted the follow
ing resolutions :
"Jlesolced, That the recent measures of compromise, cm
bracing a settlement of the detracting questions which have
disturbed, and almost interrupted the business of .Congress,
seriously threiiteniug the integrity of the Union itself, were
demanded by a fair consideration of tho constitutional rights
or the various members of the confederacy. , -
"lleolted, That theTlemocracy of .Michigan pandering to
no isms, rejecting all alliauccsawiHi sectional factious, hav
ing In view the irrepealablc claims of each State in' the
Union, and yielding only to the demands of the con.ttitution,
declare emphatically, that the compromise measures .stand
justified in the eyes of every well wisher of his country, and
should be sustained and executed in ail their parts faithfully,
and impartially."
Mr. McClelland during the entire canvass, pro
claimed himself a compromise math and eloquently
sustained these resolutions of the convention. It
would be difficult for any one to present on the
compromise a cleaner record than is found in the
endorsement and support of resolutions like these.
Yet he will be assailed. Party feeling warps and
blinds men so, that partisans are rarely capable of
doing justice to an opponent Itis a fortunate thing
that the public man has an appeal from the distorted
judgments and jaundiced injustice of mere partisans
to the sober, settled and intelligent verdict of the
people.
THE INAUGURAL.
We have been much pleased to notice the gene
ral satisfaction expressed by the press with reference
to this sterling document Democrats are all with
the exception of a few abolition agitators, who-are'
only nominally in the party, and ought to leave it
delighted with its clear and patriotic principles.
The neutral press seem scarcely less pleased. As
for the whig press their blows fall weak and nerve
less. The tone of their notices leave no doubt of
"a willingness to strike," but the document is so
unassailable that their ingenuity is baffled, aud whig
editors retire sullen and discomfited from their in
tended demonstration.
We give in our columns to-dar, extracts from
some of the democratic press of this State, from
which it will be seen that in Tennessee the inaugu
ral gives entire satisfaction to the democracy.
THE WHIG PARTY DISSOLVED.
A correspondent of the Banner, in urging the
claims of W. jtf. Bilbo, Esq., of this city, for State
Senator, says :
"If we neglect such whigs, will it not dissolve
our party ?"
This is indeed a fearful interrogatory. The wri
ter,, it is clear, thinks that it will. If the whig par
ty is contingent upon the nomination of Mr. Bilbo
for State Senator, we feel but little hesitancy in ex
pressing the opinion that the hour of its dissolution
is near at hand. Mr. Bilbo is a great favorite of
ours. In fact he is one of our pets. But we don't
think he is appreciated by his party friends.
New Novels. We are indebted to F. Hagan
for several new publications: The Emigrant Squire;
The Two JfercJtunis and Ugly JSjfie. We have not
had leisure to even glance at their contents. The
reputation of their authors, furnishes, however,
satisfactory assurance that they are worth read-
New Books. We are indobted to W. T. Benny
& Co., for " Villctle". by Cuiiuek Bell, the author
of Jane Eyre and-Shirley.
We are also -indebted to these .gentlemen for a
fine edition -of Coleiudge's -Works, which avo in
tend to notice more fully as soon as we can give it
an examination.
Barnburners Leaving Washington. A corres
pondent of the New York Herald says : "Gov:
Marcy, itis Bupp6sed, will disappoint the barnbur
ners and soft -shells; He has .declared that, so far
as his influence goes, none but a hunker will he ap
pointed to, the office of Collector of the' port of
New York; and it is believed that he will not favor
free-soil appointments. The barnburners who were
seeking office here have almost all "-left.' The ad
dress has routed them. .
The use or Bad Debts. An editor in Arkan
sas was lately shot in an afTraj. Luckily the ball
came against a bundle of unpaid accounts in his
pocket. Even gunpowder could not get through
unpaid newspaper bills, and tho editor saved his
life by the delinquency of his subscribers. Surely
it is an ill-wind that blows nobody any good.

and Hon. W. C. Bevens, of Independence, have

Northern District of Arkansas. They are demo
crat's. Tiie Buntax'Taeleaux. We would call the at
tention of our citizens to this panorama. It is tru
ly a magnificent work .of art and embodya in its
conception one of the finest allegorys in the Eng

Bunvak's Dream, and h:ts, to be seen to be appre
ciated. We advise all who wish to gratify a taste
for the Beautiful to call at the Odd Fellows' .Hall
and see it It-will bo exhibited again to-morrow
evening.
American Official Salaries. Several amend
ments were made to the Civil and Diplomatic Ap
propriation bill, the most important of which are as
follows : The salaries of the Yice President and
heads of departments are to be raised to eight thou
sand dollars per annum; six thousand dollars, in ad
dition to their present salaries, was granted to the
American Ministers to Great Britain, France, Spain
and Russia to pay for house rent, &c.; and four
thousand additional is to be given to the Minister
residentirrTurkey, Congressional' Report,
United States, an expression 01 earnest cuugraiuiauuu on
the passage by Congress, and their approval by the Presi:
1..nt nf tl.ft United States, of the series of measures by which
TUOS. H. BENTON
Gen. JACKSOs'is reported to have said that this
notorious individual lost -his mind on board the
Princeton, when that awful explosion took place,
which hurried TJrsnuR and Gilmer to their prema
ture graves. We are inclined to believe that this
. remark of the sage of the Hermitage, like nearly all
others he expressed, with reference to men, was
based upon a thorough knowledge of human char
acter. Certain it is, that from that time to the pres
ent, Mr. Benton's condiict has been as way ward as
that of a spoiled beauty, and much less attractive in
its poutings. In his haughty and unbending pride
he has foolishly thrown away the position of a
leader, and suuk by his own option into that most
despicable of characters the incendiary and disor
ganizes Hi3 first, act after the inauguration of
President Polk, was to assail iu the bitterest sar
casm the policy of the administrat:on with refer
ence to Oregon- scoffing at those who asserted
our title to 51-40 as mere "neophytes" who were
permitted only to stand in the portico of the Tem
ple, and not worthy to minister at the altar. When
the Compromise measures, as a plau of pacification,
were before the Senate he warred upon it most re
lentlessly, and held ip the patriots who conceived
and reported it, aspolitical Dr. TowNsnEND3,and the
measures proposed, as quack medicines. Beaten
for the Senate he returned to Missouri and com
menced the work of disorganization. Ererybody
who did not surrender their opinions to his whini3,
many of which were madder than the jests of Ham
let, were ruthlessly denounced. Party harmony
success of democratic principles and every other
consideration which would have controlled other
men were disregarded. With an imperious ego
tism he made himself 'cthc party," and finally by
some unexplained combinations was elected to Con
gress. And, we now see that he, is beginning to
war upon the administration of Gen. Pierce by
protesting against some of the expected appoint
ments of the President In war, mutiny is pun
ished by death, and the mutineers shot Inpolitics
they should be drummed out of camp.
We are not unmindful of Col. Benton's services
during the Jackson and Van Buren administration.
He deserves for these the gratitude of the people.
But those services have been more than cancelled
by the misconduct of the last nine years. The bril
liancy of the past but reflects a darker shade upon
the present Like Arnold, whose treason at West
Point blurred the bright pages of Quebec, Saratoga,
and other battle fields, or Lucifer, as portrayed by
Milton, present crimes annul former virtues.
"So call him now. His former name
Is heard no more in heaven."
We have every confidence that President Pierce
wjll disregard the arrogant dictation of Col. Ben
ton, and pursue the patriotic course marked out by
himself) without reference to protests from any quar
ter. ' .

Washington, March G, 1S53. The President's
inaugural is now spread at large before the public,
and the second sober thought, I am happy to say,
agrees entirely with the enthusiastic approbation
which met its delivery. It is an edifice which will
stand the test of time, and whose proportions will
be found admirably adapted to its design. The
Whig opposition, though "startled," is not yet pre
pared to attack it, either as a whole or in part
The Cabinet will be sent in to-morrow; a quorum
-of the Senate being, of coufse, present Several
States will only be partially represented. No doubt
exists but that Mr: Benjamin will be able to show
thatlie is entitled to a seat in the Senate from Lou
isiana. The international copyright treaty with England
will be one of the first things acted upon by the
Senate. The combat will be between the authors
and the publishers the parents and the accoucheurs.
All the authors of note iu the United States are in
favor of the treaty.
The city, as might be expected, is full of office
seekers. It is understood President Pierce will
himself make the principal appointments. A pro
tracted stay in Washington will hardly be a special
recommeudation in the applicants. x.

was committed at Southwark during last night.
Two married women, sisters, Hannah Show and

Lynch, whose husband has gone to New York,
was broken open and the money stolen. The per
sous who occupied the lower part of the house had
been to a ball and returned in the morning and
found tlie women dead. There is great excitement
and a number of arrests have been made. On ex
amining flic bodies of the murdered women, forty
one" stabs were found m Mrs. Lynch, five entering
the heart, and seventeen Avoundsin Mrs. Show.
An attempt was made to burn the house, but the
fire, after burning a hole in the kitchen floor, went
out Among the arrested is an old Sing Sing con

simpler in construction and better adapted in many
respects to steamboats or locomotives. The model
had been completed and the trial gave a great deal

of building and running is a great deal less. We

OPINIONS OP THE TENNESSEE PPvESS.
Tjie Ixaugcral Address. We have seen and
read, an imperfect copy, it & true, of the President'
Inaugural address, which we publish to-day. Not
withstanding some whig editors affect to believo
that the Inaugural is not clear upon some points,
we are at a loss to discover wlierein there is any
equivocation. On the contrary we regard it as
one of the clearest, most explicit and candid docu
ments of the kind since the days of the patriot
Jackson. Indeed it wouldnotbe in harmony with
the past history of Gen. Pierce if frankness did not
pervade every sentence. Ijoldness and candor aro
well known characteristics of the new President,
and in his inaugural lias fully met the expectations
of his friends. In no part of it, is there room left
for a single doubt, and every democrat wfth whom
we have met, and who has read the inaugural is re
joicing that a man is at the helm of government
who will reform its abuses, who will protect her
rights and the rights of her citizens at home and
abroad; and who will in its administration "know
no north, no south, no east, 110' west," but enforce
alike every provision of the Constitution of the lie
public, and defend and protect the rights of every
individual and every section oi the Union. Having
proven himself a national democrat, in every act of
his political life, we can rely upon him as a fit ruler
of our common country, and rest assured that no
act of his will stain its histor'. We may look to
him with confidence to enforce our maratime rights;
and redress the wrongs inflicted upon our citizens
by foreign powers. No longer will our national
flag be subjected to insult and injury and the wrong
submitted to by the executive of the nation. The
past indicates that Gen. Pierce will "demand noth
ing but what is clearly right, and submit to nothing
that is. wrong' and up to this standard and rule
must all nations comeduring his administration. A
better day is coming than we have seen for the last
four years a day when tlie flag of our country
must and will command more respect from other
powers.
.The inauqural is in
truth a model State
a mouel state paper,
and commends itself to the warm approval of ever
ry democrat Some of the questions discussed in
it, we have alluded to, but there are Others men
tioned of grave importance. While Gen Pierce
justly regards the importance to this government of
the acquisition 01 "certain possessions, he is op
posed to the consummation of thatobject in a grasps
ing spirit and iu violation of existing treaty obliga
tions. Let every democrat read this address, and
he will rise from its perusal with increased confi
dence if possible, in the maifwhom the people by
au unprecedented majority have called to auminis1
ter the affairs of the nation for the next four years.

The Inaugural of President Pierce! We pre
sent to our readers this morning what may be con
sidered a rather incorrect version of the Inaugural
Address of President Pierce, and although itis a
documeut which will speak for itself and produce a
telling effect wherever it is read, we must be per
mitted to say a few words in its praise, not because
such a thing may be expected of us as one of the
humble .organs of the party at whose head General
Pierce now stands, but because our own heart
beats responsive to its every suntiment -Its most
prominent feature is the true, genuine Americanism
which is visible in every sentence. No one on
reading it can fail to realize the conviction that all
its conceptions are those of the genuine patriot, the
wise states ::au, the true man. It breathes a spirit
and a sentiment congenial to every American heart,
and although we publish the document at length,
we must be permitted to isolate one or two para
graphs, as worthy-of special attention. ATeniphis
Appeal.
The Prospect. A synopsis of the speech of Gen.
Pierce at his Inauguration, shows clearly that no
longer need we fear or be ashamed of our Execu
tive. Having been elected without solicitation or
wish, and chosen on account of principles, not fol
lowed as a matter of policy, but of honest convic
tion, Gen. Pierce commences his term of oflice un
der no compulsatory pledges, he has no one to re
ward because of extra exertion in his behalf) but
free to obey that settled line of conduct which may
best seem to promote the good 01 the whole Union.
What little we have seen of his inaugural, we are
decidedly pleased with. lie expresses himself
opeuly and to the point We like the 'spirit of the
man. The South can ask no more than therein
allowed, aud if he will carry out those recognized j
rights of the South under the Constitution, he will 1
have a hearty support lrom every Southern section.
His views ot'Cuba, &c, are just and' proper at this
time; and his devotion to the Union, will bear him
on truly and mark his best policy. Yes, Gen. Pierce
is destined to be a good and popular President.
He has made the right commencement, which
augurs well for the future lour years of service.

Y1LLETTE. By Currer Bell, author of "Jane Byre"
"Shirley," &c.
. Orixioxs of tub Exnusii Press.
"Literary Gazttie.
"This book would have made CurnrBell famous, had she
not been already. It retrieves all the ground flhe. lost iu
Shirley,' aud will eugage awider circleof readers limn Jano
Eyre,' for it has all the bwtqualitiesof'thiftieuuirkable book.
There is throughout a charm of freshness which is infinitely
delightful; freshness iu observation, freshness in feolin"'
freshness in expression. Brain and heart are both held m
suspense by the fascinating power oftlie writer."
"Examintr.
"This novel amply sustains the fame of fheauthor of Jano
Eyre' and 'Shirley1 as an original and powerful writer. Vil
lette' is a most admirably writfen novel everywhere origi
nal, every where shrewd and at he-art everywhere kindly.
The men, women and children who figure tin onghout it have
llesh and blood in them, aud all arc worked out in such away
as to evincea very keen spirit of observation, and a tine sense
of the picturesque iu character."
"AtJtHitum.
"Tho talc is one of the utTections, and remarkable as a pic-'
ture of manners. A burning heart glows throughout it, and
one brilliantly distinct character keeps it alive. The oldest
man, the sternest, who is a genuine novel reader, will find it
hard to get outof Madam Beck's school, when he has once
entered here with Lucy Snowe, and made acqnantance with
the choleric, vain, childlike, and noble hearted M. l'aul
Emanuel."
"SjtecMnr.
"Of interesting scenes and well-drawn characters, there is
abundance. The characters aro various, happily conceived
and some of them painted with a truth of detail rarely smi
passed. The style of 'Yillette' has that clearness and power
which aro thetcsultof mastery over the thoughts and feel
ings to be expressed, over the peisous and scenes to be de
scribed." "Eritiinut
" 'Villetto' may claim the unhesitating commendations of
our readers and critics. The autobiography oftlie heroine
is at once natural, interesting, cheerful, piquant, and thought
ful. 'Villette' will repay and reward the careful reading it
demands."
"Horning Chronicle.
" 'Villette' is not only a very able but a very pleasant
book. Ifis a tale which, though here anil there if is dashed
wi.h wonder and melancholy, is as a whole cheerful and pi
quant; abundant in clear, clear out, stronglylrawn etchings,
presenting so pleasontjland effective a tran.cript of manner?,
English and Continental, that its success cannot fail to be
remarkable."
"Critic.
"Its claims to distinction aie in ifs admirable delineations,
of character, in its powerful description. in its. wholesome
vein of scntimcntin its spirit and vigor, and in the charm of
1 style that never grows tame and never permits the atten
tion of the reader to fkiga moment."
'"Paily JS'eitk.
"Everything written by Currer Bell is rcranrkable. She
can touch nothing without leaving on it the stamp of origi
nality. Of her three novels, this is perhaps the strangest,
the most astonishing, though not the bert. The sustuined
ability is porhups greater in "Villette" than in jts two pre
decessors. The whole thece volumes arc crowded with
beauties; with good thiugs for which we look to the clear
sight, deep feeling, and singular though not excessive ex
perience of life, which we associate with the name of Currer
BelL"
"GloU.
"The author of 'Jane Eyre,' and 'Shirty,' has again pro
duced a fiction of extraordinary literary power, and of sin.
gular fascination. It isoneotthe inos't absorbing of btoka
one of the most interesting of stories. 'Villetta will add
immensely to the author of 'Jane EyreV fame as a philoso
phical and analytical expositor of the human heart and feel
ings." 1Y. Ti B; & Co. have also just received
