TUESDAY, JIAECH 5, 1861. PBESHHRST UNCOUMt KACOD* Sib, We arc quite sure that no document can be found among American state papers embodying sounder wisdom and higher patriotism,—breathing kindlier fedings.to nil sections of the country, or stamped with firmer purpose to maintain the Union and Constitution Inviolate—than the Inaugural Address of Phessdext Lincoln. The terseness which characterizes all his utter ances is unsually marked in this most im portant mcass-ge to the whole people. The unblemished integrity which has given; him the popular soubriquet of Honest Abe, shines forth in every line and syllable. The esccilcnce of heart which has endeared him to so many thousands of his country men, gives to the whole a glow of living light. The argument against the so-called 41 right of secession” is masterly and ex haustive, The expressed determination, to maintain the Union and enforce the laws, is as square and resolute as Jack son's proclamation of 1832! And while we do not look for the eloquence which moves mankind in official papers like tbfc, it will be difficult to find a sublimer pas sage than the closing sentence:. u The “ mystic chords of memory stretching from “ every battle-field and- patriot's grave to M every living heart and hearthstone all u over this broad land, will yet swell the ** chorus of the Union when again touched, “ as surely as they will he, by the better ** angels of our nature,” The delivery of this Address sweeps away the noisome Vapor which treason and imbecility have cast all over the land dur ing the past three months, *We are brought back at cn.ae to the ideas which have heen hitherto almost universally held by the AmerUan people. -The impetus-which trailers and cowards have given to the Zaost monstrous doctrines ever promulga ted outside of the * penitentiary,’ is brought to a sudden stand-stUL Henceforth the Improvement will be marked and rapid. The wheels of secession are turned back ward by a master hand, kindly yet finnly. There is once more a Go veriest op the United States! Foreign nations shall no longer jeer its weakness; nor Ameri cans curse its imbecility. It is a power end a majesty among the empires of the earth—-the power and the majesty of a free Constitution upheld by a free people. Those who looked to see Abraham Lin coln deny the principles upon which he was elected will be disappointed in his In augural. The Constitution does not say that slavery must be protected in the Ter ritories—the majority have declared that it shall not be— andiJte uutfdriig'nutt got-' em. This is the substance of the impres sive argument; and every man in the na tion, be he secessionist, compromiser, or Union lover, must admit that nothing could be more clear or just The Consti tution is the supreme law of the land, aad the Constitution must be obeyed as it is, until c ltanged by the people. Thiels anoth er cardinal point—indeed the very cardi nal point—of the address. No man, not a parricide at heart, can gainsay it Seces sion will not solve the questions now at issue; tho States are locked together by. inexorable laws of tcmtoiy; treaties can not secure rights which'mutual laws will not give. This is the final and conclusive reason why disunion should be abandoned by its advocates and why it cannot be tol erated by the government; and who shall. deny it? “Ton have no oath registered in “ heaven to destroy the Government, wh le I shall have the moit solemn one to pre “ serve, protect and defend it." This is the inexorable reason why Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, cannot per mit tho Union to be destroyed. Wl o shall question the sacredncss of his pledge? Wo cannot close this review •without no ticing ihcfr&riness of Hr. Lincoln’s utter ances—their freedom from diplomatic vagueness and hackneyed political phrases. It comes from the heart and brain of a sin cere man. It is not tied up in red Cape 'and sealed with the stamp of a party cau cus. It has not been conned and polished by a Judiciary Committee. Wc pity the mnu who cannot feel and-acknowledge that it Is truthful and high-toned—that it has the dear ring of honesty and patriot ism. The country expected all this, and is sot disappointed. NO CABINET VET, Wenr3 still without any definite advices concerning President Lincoln's Cabinet It is hardly possible that the important secret can be kept twenty-four hours longer.

Scenes and Incidents of ilicDay,' C: 1 ,—■ ' r -; ;■ •: v ?>*-■* . Washdtotok, March 4.—The day was usher ed in bya most exciting session of the Senate, that body sitting 12 hours, from 7 o’clock last evening tffi 7 IhU morning. As thehand on the dial pointed to 12 o’clock,and thefiabbath gave way to Monday, 4th of. March, the Senate Chamber presented, a curious and appearance. ' - V , ' : The galieriea were crowded to repletion, .the ladies’ galieriea resembling, from the gay dresses of the fair ones there congregated, some gorgeous porfcrw of flowers,and the gen tlemen’s gallery one black mass of e urging, heaving masculines, pushing, struggling, and almost clambering over each other’s backs in order to get a good look at the proceedings. Some of the most ludicrous scenes were the result of the intense desire of the outsiders to get a peep into the Senate chamber, and the pertinacity with which the applicants for ad mission to the overflowing galleries would urge that they had come all thc'way from. In dlany, or Varniount, or some other place, af forded the seated ones intense amusement. On the floor, Crittenden, Trumbull, Wigfall, Wade, Douglas and others, kept np a running fire of debate, while those not engaged in dis cussion betook themselves to the sofas for a comfortable nap during thb’ ; session,' which it waa known would last all night. As morning advanced the galleries and floor became grad-, ually cleared out. In the gray morning light the Senate took a recess till 10 o’clock to-day. A few minutes after? o’clock but few remained.';• The morning was clear and beautiful The public buildings, schools, places of business, &c.,werc closed throughout the day. .The stars and stripes floated from the City Hall, Capitol, War Department and other public buildings, while not a . few citizens flung out flags from their houses, or across the princi pal avenues. - - ’ -V •.! . The streets were thronged with the volun teer soldiery hastening to their respective rendezvous. Three or four hours elapsed before there wa? the least chance of entering the Capitol. Pennsylvania avenue was thronged with people wending their way to the East front For four hours the crowd poured on towards the Capitol in one contlnous stream of old and young; male .and female! A large majority were Northern men, and but few Southerners, judging frpm the lack of long-haired men. in the crowd.' The order of arrangements as settled by the Committee was as follows: To the left of the Vice President were the Committee of Ar rangements. Immediately behind them were the heads of the Departments of the Govern ment, Senators, members and members elect of the House, officers of the Army and Navy, Governors of the States and Territories, Comptrollers, Auditors, Registers and Boll tors of the Treasury. To the right of the Tice President were the Judges of the Su premo Court, Senators, the Diplomatic Corps, Ex-Governors of the States, Assistant Secre taries of Departments, Assistant Post Master General, Assistant Treasurer, Commissioners, Judges and the Mayors of Georgetown and Washington- , Previous tothe arrival of the procession the- Senate Chamber did not present a very anima ted appearance. Many of the ladies waiting to see the display did not arrive untQ late, and the officers', ' with' gay unifotas and flpsbmg epaulettes, who relieved so well the somber ness'of the National block, were with the Presidential cortege during the passage of the procession to Willard’s Hotel, and the march thence to the CapltoL '■ Senator Bright killed, in the most approved manner, a certain gas bill, to-wit: talking it to death. This not proving very interesting, matters waxed somewhat dull in the interim. At five minutes to 13 o’clock Tice President Breckinridge and Senator Foot, of the Com mittee of Arrangements, entered the Senate chamber, escortlcg the Vice President elect," Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, whom they conducted' to a scat immediately to the left of the chair of the President of the Senate. , As the hands of the clock pointed to the hour of twelve, the hammer fell ’and the session of the Thirty-sixth Congress came to an end. Vice-President Breckinridge bade the Senate farewell in well chosen and touching terms. ‘ : Mr. Breckinridge then administered the oath of office to Tice-Fresldent Hamlin* Mr. Breckinridge then “announced The Sen ate adjourned without- . day, , and left the Chair • o which he immediately conducted - Vice-President Hamlin,*-Hon. Mr. Clingman was then sworn in as Senator from the State of North Carolina, Mr. Clark for New Hampshire, Mr. Chase for Ohio, Mr. Harris for New York, Mr., Har lan for lowa, Mr. Howe lor Wisconsin, Mr. Breckinridge for Kentucky, Mr. Lane for Indiana, Hr. Nesmith for Oregon, and Mr. Mitchell for Arkansas. At this juncture the members and members elect of the House of Representatives entered the Senate Chamber, filling every available place to the left of the Vice-President. ? The Corps Diplomatic also entered the Chamber at the same moment, occupying scats to the right of the Chair. It was a subject of general remark that the corps never were so fully re presented as on this occasion, perhaps to be the last time all will be again assembled. -The 311 tasters, attaches and others numbered in all some fifty and over, and the brilliancy of dress the number of ’ orders, _ <fcc., added much to the imposing nature of the, scene. Some of the court uniforms were gorgeous, a-d attracted much attention. ; The scene in the Senate while'waitlng the arrival of the Presidential party seemed tO: realize the lying down of the lion and the lamb together, or mingling oil and voter. : Messrs. Chase, Wlgfell, .Crittenden, "Wilson, and others were opposite, hobnobbing with 'theutmoet cordiality- Senator Breckinridge ; conversed familiarly with the extremest men of the Republicans, while ladles of all politi cal. affinities—Mrs. ■ Hamlin among them— ■looked sorilingly down on the animated .scene kelow. The attendance of the Senators was ;uQusually fulljthe only absentees notlcedbclng i those of Hon. Mr. Mason and Hon. Mr. Hun ter of Virginia. i At thirteen minutes to - one o’clock, the -judges of the Supreme Court of the United ■States were announced... by the Doorkeeper of jibe Senate. On their entraricenH on the fiddr irose, and the. venerable Judges,,,headed by j Chief Justice Taney,' moved, slowly tb the iseats assigned them immediately to the right jof the Vice President, each exchanging salutes j with .that officer in passing the chair. ... j At ten mlnutcs&fterone o’clockan unusual | stir was occasioned iu the 'Chamber, -and the ? rumor spread like wildfire that the President elect was in the building. * : ! At fifteen Thiriutes past boo o’dock the * Major B. B.

Unfolding bis manuscript, In a loud* clear voice he read his /message, as follows: JFAVGVRAZ, ADDRESS. Fellow Gttizeks op the Dotted States : In compliance with a custom as old as the •Government itself, I appear before you to address you briefly, and to take, in yonr pre sence, the oath prescribed by the Constitution of the United States to he taken hy the Presi dent before he enters on the exeenti. n of hia office. Ido not consider It necessary, at pre sent, forme to discuss those'matters of ad- ministration about which there is no special Apprehension seems anxiety or excitement. to be excited among the people of the Southern States that by the accession of a Republican Administration, their property and their peace and personal security are to be en dangered. There has never been any rea sonable cause for such apprehension Indeed, the moat ample evidence to the contrary has ell the while existed and been open to their inspection. It is found in nearly all the pub lished speeches of him who now addresses you. l do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that I have no pur pose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I haveno inclination to do so. Those who nominated and elected me did so with the *uli knowledge that I had made this and many similar declarations, and had never re called them; and more than this, they placed in the platform for my acceptance as a law to themselves and to me, the clear and emphatic resolution which X nowxc*d: Jlaolred, That tho maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic .institutions according to its own judgment exclu sive] j,'is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depend,- and we denounce the lawless inva sion by- armed force of the soil of any State or Territory, no matter under what pretext, as amongthegravest of crimes. I now reiterate those sentiments, and in do ingso I only press upon tbepublicatteutlon the most conclusive evidence of which the case is susceptible, that the property, peace and se curity of no section are to be in any wise *cn- (lingered by the now incoming Administra tion. I add, too, that all the protection which, consistently with the Constitution and the laws, can be given; will he cheerfully given to all the Slates when lawfully demanded for whatever cause, as .cheerfully to oue section as well os to another. There is much controver sy about the delivering of fugitives from ser vice or labor. The clause I now read is as plainly written In the Constitution as any .other of its provisions: ,Nb person held to ferries or labor In one State under the laws thereof, escaping Into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from each ecrvlce or labor, bat pball be delivered up on claim of the party to whom Bncb b* rrlce or labor may be dno. It was intended, by those who made it, for ' the reclaiming of what we call fugitive slaves; and the intention of the law-giver is the law. All members of Congress swear to give their . support to the whole Constitution—to this provision as much as to any other. To the ' provision, then, that slaves whose cases , com© within the terms of this clause—“shall he delivered up”—their coths arc unanimous. . Now if they would make the effort, in good temper, could, they not with nearly equal unanimity frame and pass a law by. means of s which to keep good timt unanimous oath? There is some difference of opinion whether this clause should be enforced by National or , 3* ate authority,;.bqt surely that- difference is wot a very material one. If the slave is to be eurreudered, It can be of but little consequence to him or to others by which authority it is done'; aad.shbhld any one in any cose be con tent that his oath shall be unkept on a merely unsubstantial controversy as to how It shall he kept ? Again, In a law upon this subject, ought not :ill the safeguards of liberty known in civilized and humane jurisprudence to be introduced, so that a freeman may not b£ In any case sur rendered as a slave f And n right it not bo well at the same time to provkhe by law for the en forcement of that clause on the Constitution which guarantees that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immanit.es of citizens in the several States? I td:o the official oath to-day with no mental reservation am?, with no purpose to con strue the ComsUtutiofi or laws by any hypocritical rules; and whil#l do not choose now to specify particular acts of Congress as proper, to he enforced, I do suggest that it will be much safer for all, both in official and pri vate station?, 'to conform to and abide by all those acta which stand tmrepeoled, than to violate any of theiSi, trusting to find impunity iu having* them held to be unconstitutional. U is seventy-two years since the first Inaugur ation of aTVealdentunderournational Consti tution. Dating that period ffiteendiffereutand greatly dlst ingidehed citizens have in succes sion administered the executive branch of the government- They have conducted it through many perils., and generally with great success. Yet with aUtliia scope for precedent, I now cater upon, the same task for the brief consti tutional term of four years,-under great and peculiar difficulties. Disruption of the Fed eral Union* heretofore only menaced, ie now formidably attempted. I holdthat in contem plation of universal law and of the Constitu tion, the union of these States Is perpet ual. Perpetuity Is -implied, “Tf■■ npt ex pressed, in tho . fundamental law of j nil national Governments. It is safe to as- I. sert that ho G oye rnment proper ever had pro- } i ■'vision In Us organic law for its own termina*.! .Hon. Continue to execute all the express | provisions of our National Constitution, and i‘ the Union will endure forever, it being impos- : ’ fcible to destroy it, except by some action not ! . provided for in the - instrument itself. Again, ’= ■ if the United States be not a Government i ,proper. but an association of States In thena- ; tore of a contract merely, can it, as a contract, | be peaceably .unmade by less thou all the par- [ ! ties who made- it? One party to a contract | : may violate it—break it, so to speak—but does | ’itnot require all to lawfully.rescind it? Do- ] Rcending from these general principles; we find 1 'the proposition-that in legal contemplation ! the Union Is perpetual, confirmed by the his- i tory of the Union It'-dfi The Union Is much \ older than the Constitution. It was formed, 1 In fact, by the articles of association in 1774. | It was matured and continued by the Dcclara- ■ ; tlon ot Independence a 1770. it was mrther ( i matured, and the faith of aft the then thirteen | * States . expressly plighted and engaged | (that It should be perpetual ■by the ; | articles of confederation in 1778; and finally, i ; in 1789; one of the declared objects for or- j ; v \r,cr and establishing the Constitution was j : to form a more perfect Union. If secession J bygone, or by.a part only-of the States, be law- | i fully possible, the Union is less binding than * before theUonstltution, having lost the vital | element of perpetuity. It follows from these I views that no State,uponltßownmeremotion, \ can lawfully get ont of the Union—that re solves bud ordinances to that effect are legally void, And .that acta of .violence within any State or States against the authority of the United- States are Insurrectionary r.or revolu tionary according to. circumstances. I there fore consider that In view of the Constitution ; and laws, the Union is unbroken, and to the extent of my ability, I shall take care, as the Constitution itself 'expressly enjoins on me, that, the laws of , the Union be faithfully executed in all the Btales. Doing this I- , deem to :be only ; aehnple jiuty on L mypart, and J shall perfonn.it, so far ; as prac ticable, 1 xmlessmy rightful masters;th©Amer ican people, shall withhold the requisite means, or income authoritative manner direct the ’ contrary.. I trust this will not be regarded as a menace,hut only as the declared purpose of . the Union—that It wfflconstitutiottallydefebd and maiatiin itselC J.ln'doing this there heed be no blood-shod or violence, and there shall ’ be none, unless it be forced upon Urn national ; 1 authority,- :‘ The power conflded to m&will bo .

I understands proposed amendment to the Constitution, which, amendment, however, ! have not seen, has passed. Congress, to thO -cffect that tha Federal Government shall never interfere with the domestic Institutions of States, in cluding that of persons held to service. To avoid misconstruction of what I have said, I depart from my purpose not to speak of par ticular amendments, so far as to say that hold ing such provision to now be implied con stitutional law, I have no objection to its being reflection. The course here Indicated will be | made express and irrevocable. The-Chief the United States in any ; interior locality shall he so great and so / universal' as to prevent competent resident citizens from * holding federal offices, there -will be no attempt to force obnoxious strangers among the people for that, object. While the strict legal right may exist in the government' to enforce the exercise of these offices, the at tempt to do so would he so irritating and so’ neatly impracticable withal, that I deem it bet ter to forego for a time the uses of such offices. The mails, unless repelled, will con tinue to be famished in all points of the Un ion, so fir as possible. The people every* where shall have that sense of perfect security Which is most fevorable for calm thought and followed, .unless current events and experi- ence shall show a modification or change to be proper, 1 and' in : every case and exi- gency my very best discretion will be always exercised according to the circumstances actn ally existing, and with a view and a hope of a a peaceful solution of the national troubles, the restoration of fraternal sympathy ■ and affection. That there are persona in one sec tion or another who seek, to destroy the Union at all events, and who are glad of any pretext to do it, 1 will neither affirm nor deny; hut if there he snch,T need address no words [to them]. .To those, however, who really love the Union, may I not speak ? Before entering upon so grave a matter as the destruction of our national fabric with all its benefits, its memories and hopes, would it not he wise to ascertain previously [what it is you propose to] do? Will you hazard so desperate a step while there is any possibility that any portion of the ilia you fly from have no real existence f WUI you, while the certain Ills yon flee to are greater than all the real ones you fly from— will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake? All profess to be content In the Union,if all constitutional rights can be main tained. Is it true, then, that any right plainly written in the Constitution, has been denied ? I think not. Happily the human mind, is eo constituted that no party can reach the auda city of doing Ihte. Think, if you can, of a single instance in which a plainly written pro vision of the Constitution has ever been de nied, If by the mere force of numbers a ma jority shall deprive a minority of any dearly written constitutional right, in a moral point of view, it would justify revolution. It cer tainly would, If such right was a vital one. But such Is not our case. The vital rights of minorities and of individuals are so plainly as sured to them by affirmations and negations, by guarantees and prohibitions in the Constitu tion that controversies never arise concerning them. But no organic law can ever be framed with a provision applicable to every ques tion which may occur in practical administration. Ko foresight can anticipate* nor any document of reasonable length con tain, express provisions for all possible ques t?- Shall fugitives Irom labor be surre dons. . fngl. ..ren dered by national or State authorities ? The Constitution docs not expressly say. Must- Congress protect slavery in the Territories ? The Constitution does not expressly say. From questions of this class spring all our _ questions oi tms ciass spring constitutional controversies, and wo divide upon them into majorities and minorities. It the minority will not acquiesce, the majority must, or the government must ceaac. There is no alternative for continuing the govern ment but acquicseace on the one side or the other. If a minority, in such a case, ■will secede rather than acquiesce, they make a precedent which will in turn rain and divide them; for a minority of their own body will secede from them whenever a majority refuses to be controlled by such a minority. For instance, why may not any portion of a new confederacy, a year or two hence, arbitrarily eecedq again precisely w a portion of the present Union now claim to secede from it f All who cherish disunion sentiments ore now being educated to the ex act temper of doing this. There is [not] such perfect identity of interests among the States to compose a new Union as to producehanno ny only and prevent a new secession. Plainly lh_ . _tnd idea of secession is the essence of v anarchy. A majority held la restraint by con- n Btltntlonal checks and limitations, and always v changing easily with deliberate changes of i’ popular opinions and sentiments, is the only; i true sovereign of a free people, Whoever re- 1 jects [it] does of necessity fly to anarchy or c despotism. Unanimity is impossible. The j rule of the minority, as a permanent arrange ment, Is wholly inadmissible. 'So that, reject- t Ing the majority principle, anarchy or despot- E ism, In some form, is all that, is left, Ido t not forget the position assumed by some, t that constitutional questions are to be 1 decided by the Supreme Court, nor do I deny t that such decisions most be binding In any case to the parties to a suit as [to] the object t of that suit, while they are also entitled to x a very high respect and consideration in all c parallel coses by all other departments of the 3 Government; and while it is obviously possi- t ble (hat such decision may be erroneous in l any given case, still the evil effect following t j it being limited to that particular case, with r ihe chance that it may be overruled mid a.’vcr Become a precedent *or other cases, <= can better be borne tha could the evils t oi a different practice. At the the same time, t the candid citizen must confess that it the policy oi the government upon a vital ques- j lion affecting the whole people is to be irre e vocably fixed by the d cis one of the Snprcme i Court, the instant they are made, [as] ih-brd- ] inary litigation between parties In personal actions, the people will have ceased to be t their own rulers to the extent, practically, of resigning their government Into the bands of t that eminent tribunal. Nor Is there in this ; t | view any assault upon the court or < J;the judges. It is a duty from which, i : they may not shrink,toldecide cases properly •, i. brought before them. It is no fanit of theirs ( I, If others seek to turn their decisions to'polifi- 3 cal purposes. One section of our country bo-‘! « rlleves slavery Is right and ought to be extend- ■' j : od, while the' other believes It la wrong \ :i : and ought, not to he extended. . This ;« ■is the only substantial dispute. The : : , ! Fugitive- Slave clause in the Constitution i and the law for the suppression of the foreign 1 r \ slave trade are as well enforced perhaps as any ; | law can ever be in a community where the < moral sense of the people Imperfectly sup- , : ports the law Itself The great body of the : \ people abide by the dry, legal obligation in , f both cases, and afewbreak over In_each. This, ; ] [ I think, cannot be perfeedy cured; and it would 3 I be worse in both cases after the separation ;• ( \ of the sections than before., - The for- 1 1 eign slave trade, now imperfectly sup- . , > pressed, would be imperfectly revived, with-; t out restriction In one section, while fugitive • . | slaves now only partially surrendered [would ‘, } not be Burrenderedj at all by the other.

The people themselves alone can do this if they-choose; but tfce &ecutive, as such, has nothing to do with Ji. Hla duty is to administer the. present government as it comes to his hands, and traamit [it] unimpair ed by him to his successor. Wfeyehouldthere not be a patient coufidence 'the ultimate justice of the people t ■ Is equal hope in the world ? In cgur present dif ferences is either party with ofijr faith of bring in the right? If the Almighty Baler of Bas tions, with eternal truth an£ Justice, be on your side of theNbrth, or bn yours of the South, that truth and justice will surely pre vail by the. judgment-'-of this great tribunal—the great Americana)eople. By the frame of the Government under which we live, this same people have wisely given thrir pub lic servants hut little power-for mischief, and have, with equal wisdom, provided for the re turn .of that little to their bauds at very short intervals. While tho people retain their virtue „ and vigilance, no Admlnistntion, by any ex treme wickedness or folly, cfen very seriously injure the Government in the short space of four years. My countrymen, one and'aH, think calmly and well upon this whole subject. Nothing valuable can be lost by takingtime. If there he an object to hurry any of you in hothaste to a step which you would never take deliberately, that object will be frustrated by takingtime; bat no good object can be frustrated by it. Sack of you as are now dissatisfied, still have the old Constitution unimpaired, and on the sensitive point, the laws of your own framing. Under it the new Administration will have no immediate [power],. if it wpold, to. change either. If it were admitted that yon who are dissatisfied hold the right side of dispute, there still is no single reason for pre cipitate action. Intelligence, patriotism, Chris tianity, and a firm reliance os Him who has never yet forsaken this 'favored land, are still competent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulties. In your hands, my dis satisfied fellow conntrym®n, fthd not in mine, is the momentous Issue of civil war. The gov- xncgo. .eminent will not assail you. .Ton can have no conflict without being yonr&dw the aggres- Bor. You have no oath, registered, in heaven to destroy the Government, -while 1 shall have the most solemn one to preserve, protect and _ .. uuo vo preset defend it I am loth to close. We .are not enemies, but friends. We must not be'ene mies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break onr,. ; bonds of affection. The .mystic chords of memory stretching from’ .every battle field and patriot’s grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, ■will yet swell the chorus of the Union 'when sga.n touched, as surely as they will he, by the better angels of our nature. ] Daring the delivery of the Ihsagaral, which commenced at half-past one o’clock, be was much cheered, especially at any allusion to t£\o Union;*' .«• • - . President Bachman and Chief-Justice Taney listened with the utmost, attention to every word of the address, and at its conclusion the latter administered the usual oath, in taking which Mr. Lincoln was vociferously cheered. The Chief-Justice seemed very much agi tated, and his hands shook very perceptibly with emotion. The Insu 0 tion of to fly B makes the eighth ceremony of the kind at fl which Chief-Justice Taney has officiated, hav- •, ing administered the oath of office success- j ively to Presidents Van Boren, Tyler, Polk, € Taylor, Fillmore,. Pierce, Buchanan and Lin- j coin. The ceremony was exceedingly im- j pressive. c At the conclusion of the Inauguration cere- r monies, the President was escorted to the x Senate Chamber, thence to bis carriage, and the-military forming as in the procession of this morning, accompanied him to the White i House, with Mr. Buchanan and the Commit- e teo of Arrangements. . I Oh reaching the Executive Mansion, the I troopsjformed in double line on the main ave- 1 nue, and the barouche containing the Presi- * dential party passed through to the Mansion. e Mr. Buchanan accompanied Mr. Lincoln to * the main hall and there took bis farewell of * him, expressing the hope, in cordial terms, * that his administration might prove a happy 8 ahd prosperous one. * The Ex-President then retired to the rest- 1 dcnce of District Attorney Anld, where he will temporarily sojourn till his departure from , the city to morrow evening. ‘ 1 .On the arrival of the procession at the White , House, the marshals of the day were, sncces- < sively introduced, then, the line being formed,- ix the people rushed in to congratulate the new ( President. The rush was exceedingly great. ( Thus ended for the day-time j tion ceremonies. j Though the enthusiasm was not by any ] means equal to that manifested on former similar occasions, everything passed off j quietly. ;, ■ . 1 . The amplest civil and military preparations ; ] were made by the municipal authorities and Gen. Scott, to for any emergency that might arise. Thevarlous bodies oftheUnited ; States troops now here were stationed in dif ferent parts of the city,’the sappers and miners 1 • alone being in the procession* - Lieut. Gen. 1 Scott, it la said, was near the Capitol, with ; Capt, Barry’s company of -light artillery and ' M*j. Haskins’s command acting as infantry. ' Tne officers, it is reported, were continually pacing to and fro, and it is said the General was heard to exclaim, “ Everything is going on peaceably—thank God Almlgbty.for it 1 ” During the day the military patrols were on ; duty all oyer the city, and the greatest vlgi- ■ ' lance was enjoined upon and .observed by the regulars. .

A few were paid on the spot and judgements for the face of the tax claim ren dered on the remainder. As the defendant cannot be imprisoned for the debt, many of the cases alluded to will never go farther than the' Issuance of the execution. Any Jostlce can issue snch a writ, but it takes a smart offi cer to find property where there is none. 'Tbs Fibst Abbivals op the Seasos.—Yes terday, the fourth of March, the Collector of the port celebrated the occasion by opening and making the first entries in a book to con tain the list ef arrivals and departures of lake craft.

' !=ut.t! op Blooded Stock.— Especial atten tion of our readers is called to the advertise ment in our columns tbta morning of an Exec utors’ sale of imported and improved Durham stock, consisting of cows, steers, calves, &c., working horses, breeding mares, colts, South Down and Beckwith sheep, and all the prop erty of the late George Barnet of Homer, near Lockport, Will County. The sale will take place on the 20th Inst, at the ferm at ten o’clock a. m,’ Abetter opportunity for stock raisers to procure due cattle and horses has not bee n offered in years. Shameful.— lt is said that a young girl, thirteen years of age, and who but recently cast aside the short dresses of childhood, has been by some means inveigled into a place of ill-re pute in the vicinity of the Armory, and is even now entering upon a life of shame. The girl is an orphan, and some ofthe class with whom she associates endeavor to turn her aside from the path of evil, and affect to desire her re form. We state the fact as given to us, know ing nothing of her whereabouts, nearer than above indicated, in hopes that some benevo lent person who can have access to this child will stretch forth a hand to save her. A Cashless Robber. —On Thursday of lost week, during the absence of tho family, the house of Mrs. Fraunberg, on North Wells street, was entered by some tyro in the larc eny] business, and a small tin Barings* bank, containing about two dollars In small change, carried off. In a bureau drawer near by was deposited about S2OO currency, which the thief happily did not discover. If thieves ever read the papers, the person who. entered the dwel ling alluded to may, by this paragraph, learn what rich booty he left, and be Induced to try : it over again. He had better bespeak a coffin, however, betore undertaking the Job, or get . his valoab le life insured. The Bethel Meeting.— The. protracted meeting at the Seaman’s Bethel, comer of Wells and Michigan streets, Is still in pro gress, with considerable interest. Preaching every evening at seven o’clock* A prayer meeting, and other appropriate exercises, fol low the sermon, each night, in which all pres ent are invited to take part, and many profess to have derived great benefit by so doing. Mr. Leonard, the Chaplain, is an every-day worker among seamen and their families, and has been the means of much good to that useful class of persons. He deserves their warmest sym pathies, and all good men should give him their support !n his noble mission. A Good Omen.—A person well acquainted with such matters, informs us that but very few dwelling houses are sow unoccupied In this city. The class of tenements in demand being about from twelve to fifteen dollars per month, rental. A moderate capital prudently invested, in., the erection of such buildings, containing about from five to six rooms, with decent sized lots, it seems to us might be made to bring a handsome, little income and to pay a round, interest on the outlay. The only houses that now go begging for tenants, are those for which an annual rent of from $460 to SSOO is demanded. Even of these there are comparatively lew-empty. This does not seem to confirm the statements-of Mr. and Mrs, Grundy, that “ the bottom has fallen out; this, city boa seen its best days; Chicago can never regain Its old position,” etc., etc. No, not by any manner of means. - Ball btths Employees of the Illinois Central R.
