1 Citizens of the United States :
Vour suffrage having e!eei*d me 1o ll .-
'office of President of the i niied Siat~s, 1
have, in conformity w.ih the Constitution ol
i our country, taken the oath of office ; rescrib
: etl therein. I have laWn th - oath wihoiit
i mental reservation, and with a deii-ruiinalios
' tu do, to the best ol uiv ability, a : :!iat it ri •
quires i f me.
The responsibilities of the position I feel,
but do not fear. The I Bice las come to e
: una. light 1 cotnn.e ,ce its duties utitram
I tneled. I bring to it a conscientious desiie
; and determination to fill it to the beat nf my
> ability and to the eati-fac. ion • f ibe people.
Ou ail leading question- g ta'it.g the public
mind 1 will always express views (o Congress
: and urge them according to my judgment;
J and when I think it i- desirable, will ex
ercixe the constitutional privilege of in
terposing a veto to detent meaaiites which 1
Oppose; but all laws will be faithfully ex
ecuted, whether tiiev meet my approval . r
not 1 shall on all subjects have a policy to
i recommei d, but none to enforce against the
will ol the peoole. Law- are to govern all
alive—those opposed to as well as those who
favor them. 1 know no method to secure
the repeat of bud or ohm .\: u? I; v> so tIT
live as their atringeut execution.
.The country having just ui. r r. J fr-.m a
: great rebellion, many questions will co.ne be
lore it for settleineiit in ihe next four yeais.
which preceding administratoiis have never
had to dial wttb. In meeting these, it is tie
siiable that they should be approached j
! calmly, without prejudice, hate or sectional
; pride, remembering that the gtva'est g. <d to
the greatest number is the object to be at
lamed. This requires security i f person and
property, sod free relig ons ai.d political
opinions in every part of our common coun
try. without regard to local prijudice, and ail
laws, to secure these ends, will receive my
best eflorts for enforcement.
A great debt has been contracted in secur
ing to us and our posterity the Union. Ibe
paymeut ol ibis, principal and interest, as
well a* the return to a specie us 9000
as it can be accomplished without material
detriment to the debtor cias* or the Country
at large, mu>t be pmVidrd tor. To protect
national honor every duilar of Goverumeiit
indebtedness should be paid in g" d. unless
otherwise expresely stipulated in the contract.
Let it be understood that no repndiaior of
One farthirg of our public debt will betrutt d ,
in public places, and it will go far towards
ftrengtbening a credit which wight to be the
beet ii, th c world, and will ultimately able
us to replace debt with bonds bearing leis in
terest t!:an w® now pay.
lolhis should be added a faithful collectL'ti
of revenue, a strict aucminEibi'iiy to the
treasury for every dollar collected, and the
gfedte-t practicable retienclnrient in exj ndi
tures in every department of 1 he 0 .v run ent.

careful ab'*ut c-ntratubg debt- pnVHlile in rl-e

A pront common- is to >e rebuilt, nnil
all industry encouraged. The young nien of
the country, those who from tin ir i: •• trust
he it* rulers twenty fii'r year, hence, have a
peculiar interest in maintaining the nntioua'
i honor.
A moment's reflection ns to wist ill he
our commanding influence among the nations
j of the earth in their day, if ihev are only t. ue
! to themaelyps. should inspire them with na
1 tinnal pride. All divisions, g ograi hical.
political and religious, can join in this c >m -
1 inon sentiment.
How the public debt ; In he paid or specie
payment resumed, is n .t so important, a*
that a plan should be adopted and adhered
to. A united determination to do. is w. rth
more than divided counsels upon the method
|of doing. Legislation upon this subject n -iv
' not be necessary now. or even advisable, but
j it will b- when the c vil law is mote fu ly res
; tored iri all parts of the country, and trade
! resume" its wonted channel
I It will be my eudeav r to admiai-ti-r the
laws in good faith, to collect the revenues a--
sessed. and to have them properly accounted
for and dusburaed. I will, to the best of my
' ability, apt oint to office those only who wil'
tarry out ibis design.
In regard to a foreign policy I would h i
wiih nations as equitable laws require iml -
| viduals to deal wil > ei.ch other, and I would
i rotect the law abiding citizen, whether of
native or foreign birth, wherever his light*
; arc jeopardized u' the flag of our count y
float*.
I would respect the rights of all natio
dematiding equal respect for our own. it
others depart from this rule in th-ir deal tig

CUpant of the*.- lands he India; , is o.e
deserving t.fCareful study. I will t.-.v r a r
course toward their civilization, Christianiz i
lion and ultimate citizen-hip.
The question of suffrage it one which it
lively to engage the public attent: 11 , long
as a portion of the eiiizctiaol the ■, iti n nr<-

It seem* lo me very desirah .■ r it this
question should be *e t:, I now. a J 1 enter

In conclusion, I as, patient hwho.ranee
otie inwards another through -ut the land, and
determined etT>rt on the part of every citizen
to do his share towsrds cementing a happy
union, and I ask the praverg of the nation
to Almighty God in behalf of ibis ct n umnia

A possible lutur shine,
Wherein thy life eon d henceforth breathe

And answer to my claim,

Not thou —had been to blame?
Some soothe their conscience thus; but thou

HOW NEW YORK IS GOVERNED.

A GOLD CARRIER.
In a late number of U'/rper't Magnzine
*e Slid the following d<-criptinn of a Wall
street character and a Wallstreet load:
Ail the bullion and coin of Wall strqpf is
carried about the stre< ts in common open •
Ceris, pr< ci-i ly as are ti-id in carrying otdi
riary merchandise. For twenty.two years
I a*t one enifi'an. John C. Batkley, best
known in the street a* "Honest John,"
wh • e three carts stand at the busy corner
of \\ a! an . Broad streets, has done the
farting for the tulii.n dealers and bankers
"f the city, who would tru-t him in
their vaults wiih'rea ure uncounted. Tall,
robust and ruddy, Honest John has in his
countenance precisely the expression
which we should expect to see in the face
of one who for so manv tears has borne so
honorable a name. He Legan in the street
twenty seven years ajro, after his fifth year,
he became the established cartman of the
coin and bullion men. It is hie carta that
eo to the California steamers and convey
• heir kegs of gold to the vaults to which
•hey are consigned. His carts a-sj.-t to
restore the fitiiiOeial balunce between the
two continents by conveying gold to and
from the Cunard steamers in Jersey City.
He has occasionally carried tor short dis
•an -es, d wn hill, a million dollars in gold,
which weighs two tons; bu' bis opiniou is
that seven hundred thousand dollars is
about as much as a humane man will ever
peiunt his horse to draw over these rough
pavements for aav con-idetaLlc di.stat.ee.
On a busy day he will have as many as
twenty loads of precious metals. A load of
gold, when it goes across the town, is usually
accompanied Ly a clerk of the house to
which it beloogs; John is quite alone
when fie has as mud. gold on his cart as a
horse can draw. For such service he gets
higher compensation than when he carries
an office-desk or a load of printing paper;
and, indeed, he has the air of a man who
could show a little gold and silver of his
own if'there were occasion.
HIE HENH'I r OK BEING KNOCKED
ABOUT IN THE UOKED.
Ir i-a eood thine for a young man to be
"kt. eked about in the world," though his
Milt hearted parents may not think i-o. AH
youths, or if not all certainly nineteen
twentieths of the i-utn total, enter life with
a surplu-age of self conceit. The sooner
• hey are relieved of it the better. If, in
in a-uring themselves with wi-er and older
men, they discover that it is unwarranted,
md get rid of it gracefully, of their own
accord, well an l good ; if not, it is desirable,
for their own Bakes, '.hat it be knocked out
of them.
A hoy who is sent to a large school soon
finds his level. His will may have been
paramount at houie, but schoolboys are
democratic in their ideas and if arrogant,
be i- -urn to he thra-hed into a recognition
of the golden rule The world is a great
uhlic school, an 1 it soon teaches a new
; upi! his proper place. If he has the at
nstallnd in the po-ition of a leader; if not
. h-itevi r his opinion of hisabiiries may be
wiil he compelled to fall in with the rank
ind file. If not di-stii ed to greatness, the
next best thing to which he can aspire is
re-pectahility; hut no man can ever be
truly cool or truly respectah'e who is
ain, pompou- and overhearing.
By tli tiuie the novice has found his
! gitimate social po-ition, be the same high
r low, the probability is that the disagree
able naits of his character will be softt and
down or worn away. Most likely the pro
• i --1 f abrasion will be rough, bur wh' n it

ulu rs sen him, sod not as tefbeed in the
minor of self conceit, he will he thankful
(lathe has run the gauntlet, and arrived,
'bough by a rough road, at self-knowledge.

may think to the contrary it is a good thing
for youths to he knocked about in the
world—it makes men of them.
\ SENATOR THAT HAS GOT RICH.
f From the Cincinnati Commercial.]
L loi k across the street and see in front of
i Senator's house the carriage of another
Senator. The pair of blooded horses cost
,-ome thousand dollars. The gilded harness
is in keeping The clo-e, handsome, shining
c lach i- one of Brentoti's best, lined with
,!k velvet, and graced with thechoicest and
■ hieke-t of plate glass. On the coaehman'a
seat sit two ol God's creatures, called men;
iue a blight mulatto, the other a white man
and both in livery. They sit in solema si
lence under their gay robe of furs and white
glove*. Directly, the door of the house
opens, and two ladies, carrying a poor man's
fortune on their backs, descend the stepa.
The footman swings down and opens the
door, wi'h :>n easy grace the master cannot
mitate. The door closes with a hang, the
footman mounts, and the coach rolls away.
Well, it seems but yesterday that rhe owner
of nil this came here a poor man.
We remember the fairy tale where the old
witch touched the pumpkin and turned it
into a coach, and so the ugly witch of the
