NIMROD STRICKLAND, Chester County. First of April Changes. —Those of our subscribers who intend removing their places of residence about the first of April, and de sire the place of sending their papers changed, will he good enough to give ps timely notice, always being careful to state where they wish them changed from. Early attention to this matter will B&ve trouble and prevent the loss of papers. A Great Principle Settled. Oh our. first page will be found a synopsis of the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the celebrated Bred Scott case. It will be seen that the Court decides first, (and from its decision there is no appeal,) that Negroes or persons descended from the African race, are not citizens according to the true intent and meaning of the Constitution ; ami, secondly, that the Missouri Compromise line, about which we heard so much during the last campaign, and which was repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska act, was unconstitu tional, and therefore not binding on the States and Territories of the Union. Thus has the last prop of Blaok Republi canism been knocked from under it by the highest Judicial tribunal of the land. These agitators may make wry faces and say all man ner of hard things against the majority of the Court, but it will not avail. There is no ap peal from the decision. It stands, and will continue to stand, as the law of .the land, de ft oided in accordance with the Constitution, and will, as a matter of course, settle the whole slavery question for all time to come. The opinion, which was prepared and read by Chief Justice Marshall, whose great ability and unyielding integrity no one will pretend to question, was concurred in by six of his associates on the Bench. The two re maining members of the Court, Messrs. McLean and -Curtis, dissented from the opinion of the majority, and stated their views at oonsiderable length. Election of State Treasurer. We have the gratification of announcing to our readers that Col. Henry S. Magraw has been re-elected State Treasurer. The election took place on Wednesday last, the two branches of the Legislature having met in joint convention for that purpose. The vote Btood: H. S. Magr,aw (Bern.) 68. Jacob Bock (Repub.) 57. - The following 1b a list of those voting: For Magraw.—Mesßr6. Brewer, Browne, Cresswell, Ely, ; Etanfl, Fetter, Ingram, Knox, Laubach, Steele, Straub, i Walton, Welsh, Wilkinß, Wright—Senate and Messrs’ Abrams, Anderson. Arthur, Backus, Beck, Bower, Brandt, Calhoun, Campbell, Carty, Ent, Fausold, Foster, Gildea, Hamel, Hancock, Harper, Heins, Hill, Hillegas, Hoffman, (Berks,) Innes, Jenkins, Johnß, Johnson, Knight, LEBO, Leisinring, Longaker, Lovett, MANEAR, • Mangle, Mcll valn, Nicholson, Nunemdcher, Pearson, Petriken, Ramsey, (Phila.) Ramsey, (York,) Reamer, Roberta, Rupp, Smith, (Cambria,) Smith. (Centro,) Smith, (Luzerne,) Tolan, Vail, WAGONSKLLER, Walter, Westbrook, Wharton, Yearsley, Zimmerman, Getz, (Speaker.) House—6B votes. For Doge.—Messrs. Coffey, Craub, Finney, Flenniken, Frazer, Gazzam, Gregg, Harris, Jordan, Lewis, Myer, Pen rose, Scofield, Sellers, Souther, Taggart, (Speaker,)—Senate; and Messrs. Atigustine, Babcock,'Backhouse, Ball, Benson, Bishop, Brown, Chase, Cleaver, Crawford, Dickey, Eyster, Gibboney, Hamilton, Hiestand, Hine, Hoffman, (Lebanon,) Imbrie, Jacobs, Jenkins, Kauffman, Kerr, McCalmoot, Moorhead, Humma, Musselman, Peters, Pownall, Purcell, Reed, Shaw, Sloan, Stevenson, Struthers, Thorn, Vanvoor hls, Vickers, Veighly, Warner, Williston, Withorow—s7. It will be observed that Lebo, Manear and Wagonseller voted with tho Bemocrats. This was done, we suppose, to mollify the injured public, and because there was no inducement for them to vote otherwise. Magraw would have been elected without their votes, and we are only sorry that they were cast for him. Col. Magraw has made a faithful, obliging and efficient State Treasurer, and hia re-elec tion to the responsible post he has so ably filled, is highly gratifying to his numerous friends throughout the State. Hon> James Campbell. The Philadelphia North American, speaking of the retiring administration, pays the fol lowing compliment to Mr. Campbell, the late Postmaster General: "The management of the Post Office De partment can never give entire and universal satisfaction; for its ramifications reach every individual in the United States, and extend to other lands. But by his (Mr. Campbell’s) untiring diligence, and ceaseless attention to the details of his office, by the different ad vantageous postal arrangements which he has made with other countries, and with distant parts- of our own, and by many wise and salutary regulations which he has introduced into the practical administration of his de partment, Mr. Campbell has well earned the reputation of an honest, faithful and capable officer." These oomments are well deserved.. During the four years Mr. Campbell had ■ charge of the Post Office Department, the business was well and economically managed, and some excellent improvements were intro duced, the general convenience of which is acknowledged by the public. Judge Black has entered upon the disoharge of his duties as Attorney General of the U. States. #©»The Spring Elections take place on Friday next throughout the county. Are our Democratic friends prepared for them ? The Obsequies of Dr. Kane. —The funeral rites of Dr. Elisha Kent Kane, took place in Philadelphia, on Thursday last. Flags were hung at half mast or muffled with crape.— Great multitudes of spectators assembled at Independence Hall and all along the route of the procession. The military were under the command of General Cadwalader. The com rades of the deceased in the Arctio expedition attended the funeral in a body, as did all the public authorities, foreign consuls, the “Scott Legion," members of the Corn Exchange, &c. The Military escort consisted of a Bquadronof oavalry, a battallion of Artillery and a regi ment of infantry. A magnificent funeral car was used. It was got up for the occasion. From Independence Hall the procession moved to the Second Presbyterian Church, in Seventh street, below Arch, where the funeral services took plaoe. The sermon was preaohed by the pastor of the church, the Rev. Mr. Shields. The New Hampshire State election, whioh took place on the 10th inst., resulted in the success of the Republicans. They elected their Governor, Congressmen, and a large ma jority in both branches of the Legislature'.

Paoker, our nominee for Governor, delivered to the Convention after his nomination. It is manly and decided, and sets forth in no equivocal terms the principles he has at heart. “ The Union—the Constitution—the equality of the States—the equality of classes—reli gious liberty, and the right- of the people to enact their own laws," are noble objects, the same as were endorsed by the Bemocrats in the last contest, and have always been main tained. by them in every stage of their exis tence as a party. Mr. Packer said: Mr. President and members of the Conven tion—for me to assure you, sir, and the del egates here assembled, that I am thankful for the high honor conferred on me, would be but faintly to express the profound feelings of gratitude which I entertain. To be selected under any circumstances as the candidate of the Bemocratic party in Pennsylvania, for the highest office in its gift, is a most distinguished honor; but, sir, how vastly is that heightened when such a mark of, confidence is bestowed after an excitiDg contest, and after coming in contact with gentlemen so distinguished, so honorable, and so worthy as were my com petitors on this occasion. In accepting the nomination, Mr. President, I confess I would be discouraged were it not for the reflection that the Democratic battal ions in marching onward to victory look less to their standard bearer, than to the flag of the party—that good old flag which for eighty years has ‘ braved the battle and the breeze ’ and upon whose broad folds are emblazoned, in letters of living light: The Union—the Constitution ; The equality of the States ; The equality of classes. Religious liberty—the right of every man to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. The right of the people, in every govern ment, to enact their own laws. That flag, Mr. President, was dear to our fathers who have gone before us, and areund it the Democracy will rally with that enthu siasm which has heretofore, and will, I hope, again in October next, be crowned with glori ous victory. t Pennsylvania has just placed one of her own distinguished sons in the highest position in the world—to-morrow he will enter upon the discharge of his official duties—what a burning shame it would be, if at the first general elec tion after his elevation, the Democratic party should fail to sustain his administration. For my own part, in assuming the position assign ed me by your partiality, I promise you, that so far as I have ability, the campaign shall be so conducted as at least to reflect no discredit upon this convention or upon the Democratic party. Gentlemen, again I thank you for the dis tinguished honor you have conferred upon me. Reward well Merited* W e hear it intimated that our old friend Charles G. Gonter, of St. Louis, will be an applicant for an appointment under the in coming Administration. Without wishing to be considered officious in a matter in which we have no right to meddle, we cannot help expressing the gratification it would afford us, were Mr. Gonter successful. We have long known him as an upright and industri ous citizen, an uncompromising Democrat, and (what we hope will avail him some at present,) for years an ardent admirer of Mr. Buchanan. Should all the gifts of the Ad ministration be conferred upon men of the same stamp, Mr. Buchanan.would be truly fortunate in dispensing his favors, and the opposition might rest assured of an honest discharge of duty.— Cape Girardeau Eagle. We endorse the above, and will add, that if Old Buck refuses or neglects to bestow a “ fat take” upon our typographical friend, he de serves to live and die an old bachelor. By the appointment of such men as Mr. Gonter to offices of trust and and profit, he will do more to strengthen his Administration and win the confidence of all parties, than by any other means. What Charley asks for he should have ; for he has stood by Old Buck through thick and thin, and worked like a pack horse to get him the nomination; and his correspondence with various newspapers was not without its influence in fixing the public attention upon the rising star of Wheat land.—St. Louis Herald. #©- Thanks to Hon. Anthony E. Roberts, for Congressional documents. Rejection of the Mexican Treaty* Washington, March 12.—The President has, rejeoted the Mexioan Treaty without sending it to the Senate. - PeniuylTanla Legtflatnre. ; Harrisburg, March 13,1857.

Neu man, Catholic Bishop of Philadelphia! to borrow money on St. Mary's Church, Boyles town, to aid in its completion. [-, Mr. Laubach, a bill relative to the Lehigh Crane Iron Company. Mr. Wilkins, a supplement to the aci incor porating the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Tbe object of tbe.bill is Jbo require the Compaq ny to establish an office in Pittsburg, and also making it requisite that the Vice or second officer of the Conjpany, resides in that city. Tbe vote on the passage of the supplement to the act incorporating the Lehigh and Bead ing Railroad Company, was, on motion, reconsidered, and the subject then postponed for' the present. The purpose of the recon sideration is to strike out the amendment reserving to the State the right to impose a tonnage tax. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the bill to incorporate the Corn Exchange Bank of Philadelphia. The pending question being Mr. Wright's amendment to require the stock to be sold at .public sale, and paid for in gold and silver, it was advocated by Messrs. Wright ‘and Browne, and opposed by Messrs. Penrose and Crabbe, and was then negatived—yeas 13, nays 17. The bill was then lost—yeas 13, nays 18. The bill to increase the capital stock of the York County .Bank was considered and nega tived—yeas 6, nays 22. The bill to incorporate th£ Allegheny Bank was then taken up, and was still pending when the Senate adjourned. House. —The supplement to the act incor porating the borough of Easton, was reported favorably. The bill to incorporate the Buncannon Iron Company was taken up and passed finally, as was also the bill to incorporate the Oak Hill Mining Company. The following bills were also passed: A supplement to the act incornorating the By berry and Poquessin Turnpike Road Company; a bill relative to the final publication of the Geological Survey of the State. The bill to repeal the act limiting prosecu tions for misdemeanors to a term of two years, passed finally. The house then adjourned. Important from Washington—The Pa- nama Massacre. Washington, March 12.—Our Government has received telegraphic advices to the effect that Hon. Isaac E. Morse, who was appointed Commissioner on the part of the United States to arrange the settlement of the difficulty with the New Granadian authorities, growing out of the dreadful riots at Panama, has thus far failed in his negotiations, nor does there ap pear the slightest prospect that any satisfac tory arrangement can be effected unless the most decided measures are taken on the part of the United States. It is understood that Mr. Morse has for warded to the Government the result of his labors, and much interest is felt to learn what course the new administration will pursue. It will be remembered that our former Com missioner, Hon.’ A. B. Corwine, was also un successful in his mission ; and that one of his recommendations to our Government was the seizure of the entire Isthmus, and placing it under the control of the United States.— Whether Mr. Morse will advocate the same decided measures remains to be seen. The subject is one of great importance, and the action of our Government will be anxiously looked for. Another Kansas Sereecher I The Carroll county, (Ohio,) Democrat and Citizen, in talking about freedom shrieking political clergymen, says:—ln our own county the Rev. Mr. Barclay, a Seeeder minister of Norristown, who showered holy wrath upon the Bemocracy in the last campaign, has got himself into a nice box with a young laijly of thaf vicinity. He will be tried at the next term of Common Pleas—commencing on the 23d inst.—for seduction. Guard against these wolves in sheep’s clothing! Shun Black Republican political preachers as you would the devil. Their words are lies, and their touch pollution. Washington Affairs. Washington, March 13. —Lord Napier, the new British Minister, has bad an informal interview with the Secretary of State,! and Monday next is arranged for a formal presen to the President of the United- States. About forty persons, including ten Indians from Kansas, headed by General Whitfield, formally paid their respects, this mornine. to the President. The Senate jvill adjourn, sine die , to mor row, the President having no communications to make which would render it necessary to prolong the session. Syracuse Redeemed. —At the charter elec tion on Tuesday, in this city, where the treasonable conventions have been accustomed to meet, a Democratic mayor, and the entire Democratic city ticket was elected by a large majority. Eight of nine Democratic candi dates for alderman were elected. The Bottom Falling .Out.— The recent town elections bo far throughout this State, says the N. Y. Day -resulted very disastrously for the Republican Party. Os wego and Cataragus counties have been com pletely redeemed, and in every county there it a falling off.

Exeenttve-SeutoiLiiftliV Senate Washington, March 11.-Senath —Mr. Ben-, jamin, from the Comriiittee on the Judiciary, to which was referred the Pennsylvania con -listed election case, reported that from the protest ot certain members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, it appeared that the grounds of the protest are:—First—That there was not a concurrent majority of each, house in favor of the candidate declared to he elected; and second —That the comply' '-wifch the-requirements of the State laws; by appointing a teller and making nominations, etc., at feast one day previous to the meeting of the joint convention. In addition to these grounds was a third protest of the members of the House of Representatives, charging that the election of Mr. Cainteron was procur : ed, as they were informed and believed, by corrupt and unlawful means, involving certain members of that body, and requests the Senate to order an investigation, not only to inquire into the illegality of the election, but in order to afford an opportunity to submit proof as to the facts on which this charge rests.' This, the committee say, is a general allegation, and they caonot recommend the prayer to -be granted, owing to the charge being too vague and indefinite. There was not a single fact or circumstance detailed as.the basis of the general charge, .nor was it alleged that the sitting member participated in these ’corrupt means, or had a knowledge of their Existence. The committee could not, therefore, consider it necessary to appoint a roving commission to procure proof of the alleged fraud,-in' order to deprive the member of the seat to which he is entitled, as the party charging corruption were armed with ample power to investigate the matter. If, on investigation, the charges be proven, and if they believe the character of Mr. Cameron so involved that he should uot.b# a Senator, the result could be reported, and the Senate could take further action. With regard to the two first points, the committee regard the provisions of the law as merely directory, and the failure to comply with them did not make the election invalid. The com mittee asked-to be discharged from further consideration of the subject. Mr. Pugh dissented from the conclusions of the committee. The protest was signed by forty-four members, who say they have been informed, and believe, that corrupt and un lawful means, involving the action of certain 1 members of.-the Legislature, had been used.— The accusation came from a responsible source,' and was directly made. It concerned the honor of the Senate and the security of the government that no rule of a merely technical character should prevent a thorough investi gation. It was the more inoperative in view of the statute passed by the last Congress for the detection of corrupt practices by members of Congress. He concurred in the other points. The contestants should havo an opportunity to be heard before a committee of investiga tion. Mr. Benjamin protested against any insin uation that a majority of the committee were indisposed to investigate any charge of fraud or corruption to vitiate any election. No charge whatever had been made against Mr. Cameron. There was a general vague state ment, embodying no specific fact. If the con testants can present any circumstances of time, place and manner of corruption, let them do so. Mr. Butler said the report was drawn in conformity with the views of the committee. He was surry that Mr. Pugh had dissented.— The usage of the Senate formerly was that no minority report could be made, but simply a paper read. He protested against its devolv ing on Senate jurisdiction to try cases of cor ruption of State Legislatures. Let the mem bers of such Legislatures who are so charged be tried by their own peers. It would be an unsafe thing to send out a roving commission. If Mr. Cameron should, on proper investiga tion, be found implicated, he, for one, would go for his expulsion. But let the Legislature purge itself before it came here to ask the Senate to give it the medicine. He would not try any man, unless on specific charges on which it was intended to convict him. Mr. Pugh said, in making a minority report, he had followed the example set by Mr. But ler. As to Mr. Benjamin’s objections, that the charges were not specific, they were as much so as charges generally were in cases of contested elections. But a direct charge was made that corrupt means had been used to procure a certain election. He did not insin uate that the majority of the committee would not investigate such a charge. He had con fined himself to the subject before them, which the committee proposed to dismiss without further notice. If it should be proved that the charges were false, he would be gratified ; but, for the purposes of this discussion, it must be assumed that the protestants have the character of reliable accusers. Mr. Bigler moved that the report be print ed. Mr. Cameron said it was not until yester day that he heard of this oharge of corruption. The whole protest was looked upon as a piece of humhug. More than twenty-five of the signers of it had called on him to say there was nothing in it, but that they were com pelled to sign it, lest they might give offence to some of the leading men who can influence appointments. He could not say anything about corruption in Pennsylvania. He was born there, and expected that his body would rest in that State. He could not believe that anybody there did a corrupt act. But some gentlemen aspire to place a Legislature in such a position that they may next year be elected. He asked justice from the Senate, and that they decide the case before they ad journ. If they should turn him out, he be lieved he would be returned here. He was too proud of his character to occupy a seat by any other than honorable means. He came here to add to his fame and character, and certainly could not resort to the influence of money in that connection. It could scarcely be thought a Senator could adopt such a dis graceful expedient. Mr. Bigler desired no controversy, but he was not willing to believe that twenty-five members of the Pennsylvania Legislature had trifled with the Senate on this subject, nor that they had, since the election, said that the protest they had signed, and which he had the honor to present, amounted to nothing, and was humbug. He could not take that assur ance from his colleague. He had the privil ege of knowing personally a large number of the signers of that protest, and was willing to bear testimony to their honorable career eve rywhere, and must, therefore, testify;to their honorable motives. | They might be mistaken as to matters of ■form, and on questions of substance in so far as they affected the rights of his colleague to a eeat; but he did not believe that they were moved in this act of grave responsibility by other than pure motives. §ufc for thehnhappy remarks of his colleague, he would hot have troubled the Senate for a moment,. but| he could not remain silent when an observation was made involving the integrity of 25 members of the Legislature. He. agreed with his col league that the charge of an election jby fraud and corruption was a grave one, and; he was as slow to entertain the idea as any man.— He was proud of his native State, and had as exalted an opinion of the members of the Leg islature as his colleague, but he could not al low the impression to go out that this allega tion was trumped up without any reasonable ground for the charge. The party to which Mr. Cameron did not belong elected a majori ty of the members of the Legislature. The Democrats were entitled to, and expected the Senator; yet they were disappointed, because three members, in violation of party princi ples and the assurances of their friends, voted for a member of the Republican party. The members of the Legislature who thus cast their'votes and became the subjects of critic ism, were elected by Democratic majori ties. One was elected \y 2000, and another by 1500 majority, and h\colleague must be aware the allegation was promptly made by their constituents, that they had betrayed them from improper motives/ He united in* the hope expressed by Mr. Pugh that there would be no evidence of corruption, for that • was too dear a price to pay for a seat here.— He oould not agree, considering the circum stances surrounding this case, that it ehotfld be disposed of without a full examination. He now asked that the case might lie over, and the report of the Judiciary Committee be printed. Mr. Cameron replied that there had been no time within the last twenty-five years, and his colleague knew it, that there had not been more than three men in the Pennsylvania Legislature of any party opposed to him po litically, who would not have voted for him for any office. In the county of Schuylkill, where two of the members resided, there never was a time, when a majority of the Democratic, party did not prefer him to any other public man. In the county of York his oolleague had reason to believe and know there always had been a large portion of the Democratic party favorable to him, (Cameron,) and when Mr. Bigler was nominated for Governor he got "delegates from that county' to Vote ‘for himi— Many gentlemen had voted for him (Cameron) from a personal preference; but he did not desire to discuss this question, and asked the Senate to decide it at onee. __ Mr. Bigler replied that his colleague had said that he had a large body of personal friends who adhered to him with great teoac i uy. He made no him on that point; but so far as concerned members of the Legis lature from - the counties of Schuylkill and York, he.(Cameron) would scarcely, contend that they were elected to vote for him ; on the contrary, they were elected to vote for a Dem ocrat. One of these gentlemen went into a Democratic caucus, and voted for the nptiri nee. As /for the circumstance that at "one tijne, when.acting with tije Democratic party, his colleague favored his" (Bigler’s) nomina tion, he could hardly see what-bearing tti&t bad on this case. He did that when be was a member of the Demoeratic party. : \ Mr. Foot submitted the following -resolu tion :—That Mr. Cameron is entitled to a seat upon this flodr, as a legally chosen Senator from the State of Pennsylvania. The. resolu tion’was laid over. 1 ’ - Washington, March the Senate, td-day, in reference to the contested seat from Pennsylvania, it was argued on all sides that the-informalities presented, .in the protest do not affect the right of Mr. Camecotn to his seat, and it was held, also, that the question.of al; leged fraud and corruption in the election properly belonged to the Legislature of Penn sylvania, and not to the Senate. The resolu tion: declaring Mr. Cameron entitled to- his seat, as a legally chosen Senator, was with drawn.; by Mr. Foot, who. offered it. The Committee on the Judiciary having been dis charged from the further consideration of the subject, the whole matter'restß where it is. Messrs. Bigler and Pugh received a letter, this afternoon, dated yesterday, from twenty four members of the Legislature of Pennsyl vania, who had signed the. protest, denying Mr. Cameron’s assertions, and saying they could have obtained the signatures of the other Democratic members to the letter,' but for their absence in consequence of the recent adjournment of the Legislature. The Inaugural Sustained, The respectable press of all parties are loud in tbeir praise of the admirable style and sound and conservative doctrines of President Buchanan’s Inaugural Address. Indeed, we have never known a state paper of the kind that gave such universal satisfaction to all classes of the people of every section of the Union. We could fill our paper for several weeks with these approbatory notices. , But that, of course, is out of the question ; and we, therefore, content ourselves with giving the following, which are a fair sample of the whole: Opinions of the Press. From the Argua, Springfield, Maas. Buchanan’s Inaugural Message.— The In augural Message of the new President which was published in our paper yesterday, and •which we hope none of our readers failed to peruse attentively, is a clear, forcible and patriotic State paper. It is fully in’eonson- ! ance with that letter wherein he accepted the nomination conferred on him by the Demo cratic party. It is conciliatory, yet firm and dignified, and the doctrines which enun ciated will meet with a ready response from the heart of every Democrat, and cannot fail to command the approbation even of those who are politically opposed to the principles of the Democratic party. * * * * * The tone of the entire address in its views upon the vexed questions of slavery, foreign and domestic policy of the government, is so eminently sound and conservative, so dignified and conciliatory, that it will give him the confidence of the whole American people.— The line of policy he has avowed will most certainly be carried out. The conclusions at which he has arrived, are the result of long years of observation and experience, and are*' consistent with his whole public career. He will be the Chief Magistrate of the whole Union, not of a portion. We have not a that he will nobly fill the post he has been called to occupy, by doing justice to all, whether of the North or South,. >and that his administration will mark the era signalized by the downfall of sectional and geographical parties. From the Boston Post. President Buchanan’s Inaugural is received with great favor in this community. Hiß po litical friends are enthusiastic in their praise; while the candid and patriotic, irrespective of party, do not hesitate to give it their cordial approval. Especially is this the case in bus iness circles, where the commendation is gen eral and unqualified. Its frankness, calmness, dignity and statesmanship adaptation to the state of public opinion ; and the conviction that, behind the words, is a character without a stain, are circumstances well calculated to inspire a confidence that,, under the• guidance of suoh an administration as President Bu chanan will give, the country will receive no detriment. From the Boston Courier, (Whig Paper.) It seems evident, from the Message, that Mr. Buchanan conceives himself to be a na tional and not a party President of the United States, and, so far as we observe, there is no specific mention of the term Democracy, or of any other party name, throughout the address. This is a significant and happy omen, and the general tenor and temper of the Message seems to us in correspondence with it. In reality, without feeling it at all necessary to commit ourselves so far as to express either absolute approbation or disapprobation. of every.point developed, more or less distinctly, in this document, we at least are glad to bear witness, that it is national, patriotic, and paoific in its general~sentiment; that it is, to a marked degree, kind in spirit and expression; that it contains neither taunt nor threat; and that its character, therefore, is such as prop erly to warrant its unusually solemn appeal to the Source of all wisdom and blessings; and that it is remarkably interspersed wth alliu sions and pointed language, which cannot be but profoundly gratifying to those who love the name of the Father of his Country, or who sincerely pray for our own domestic peace and the general friendship of the nations. It is unusually plain in style; it exhibits no sort of attempt at rhetoric, or ornament of any kind ; but it seems to have been prepared with the direct and simple view, of presenting and partially disclosing ja line of public policy, which, in most respects, undoubtedly will be acceptable to the country at large. And, in general, it possesses the singularly happy quality, that no party or person can make much by assailing it. From the New Havon Register. The inaugural speech must command the approbation of the candid of all parties.— There is not a word in it to which political animosity can properly object—not a senti ment that is not national and patriotic. It is the embodiment of the Democratic creed—and fully meets the expectations of his friends and supporters. His position is impregnable, his determination sincere, his friends confident —and under such circumstances, who can doubt that his administration will Ido success ful. From the New York News. The Inaugural address requires little com ment. It speaks for itself, and speaks most nobly.. Plain and unpretending, void of all rhetorical flourish, it yet has the ring of the true metal, and bears the very impress of the spirit of Jackson. The vein of strong common Bense which pervades the whole address, will commend it to the attention and favorable judgment of all. On reading this address one can but be impressed with the sincerity and honesty of the President, his love and devo tion to the Constitution and the Union, and with the determination evinced that neither shall be impaired by any act of his. From the Alban; Atlas and Argus. Nothing could better assure the country of the wisdom of its choice, or afford a more con fident promise that its hopes of honest, vigor ous, and national administration will be rea lized, than these words with which President Buchanan has accompanied his oath of office, and the pledge he will so well redeem, to support the Constitution. We point with pride to this masterly State paper. From the Wheeling (Ya.) Intelligencer. We cannot but commend the general tone and style of Mr. Buchanan’s Inaugural. It has not only merit in its brevity, yet comprehen siveness; but it touches reasonably and with an air of candor upon the exciting question of the day. As to any of the peculiar opinions involved, he advances them only as his own, and of course all mop, who in any wise differ from them, will receive them as such. They will accord to hun—what he has scwell be spoken for them, viz: freedom of opinion. We have but space to add, that we are quite pleased with this first document of our new President, j From the Niagara pemocrat, Lockport, N, Y. It is a most able public dooument—conser vatlvOto tbecoreVnational'to tbe baok bone, and eminently characteristic of the man. We predict that James Buchanan will rally around him the brightest Cabinet that ever graced American annals, and that his Ad ministration will be invested with a dignity, vigor, intelligence, clear sighted vision, and even handed jasfice unprecedented since the days of Washington, and that James Buchanan wiU be Presidenfc'of the whole United States. From the Alexandria (Va.) Sentinel. The inaugural address of President Buchan an will be found in to-day’s issue. Its just fraternal and constitution-loving'sentiments will find a response in the heartrofevery patrot. On the vexed question of the day he is out spoken and frank; and white vindicating the position of the South, affords a rallying point for just and and national men of all sections. :Altogether^the inaugural is a bowofjiromise upon the retiring cloud whioh of late broke in a howling tempest over the land. We congratulate the Democratic party on the auspicious advent of Mr. Buchanan’s ad ministration, and doubt not it will be both our pleasure and duty-to give it a warm, gen erous, confiding support. We,also cordially, congratulate the country, before whom,, the Democratic party now stands fully vindicated for the wisdom of their ohoice by the wisdom of the inaugural. Who can contemplate with out a shudder what would now be the condi tion and promise of pubiio affairs, if Fremont instead of Buchanan bad yesterday .been in vested with the powers of the government ? Let the hearts of the people swell with grati tude and thanksgiving to that Providence which has ever been to our country the pillar of cloud and of fire. From the Baltimore American, Opposition. There are points upon which we, in agree ment with many of our readers, differ essen tially from Mr. Buchanan, but those points were so fully discussed during the contest closing with his election that reference to them is not necessary now. It is more pleasant rather to concur with him in the strong Union sentiment that animates the direct and concise phraseology ofhis address, and assist in im pressing their wisdom upon those who Beize the mere abuse of our system of government or the extravagances of sectional feelings, and endeavor to elevate them into causes of such dire importance as to demand the destruction of the Union. So also would we join in the wise rebuke of official corruption and earnest accompanying denunciation of the extravagant squandering of the public lands. There are points that Mr. Buchanan may make the object of his administration to preserve, enforce, or correct, as the need may be, and therein he will, have the sympathy and support of all good citizens independent of party affinities. From the National Intelligencer, Opposition. Our cotemporaries of. the National Intelli gencer thus notice the inaugural address of President Buchanan : In a country like ours, the genius of whose institutions, as well as the manifold relations of its complex civil organism, tend to the ; production of new political issues, it is mani j festly impossible to foretell what mutations , and consequent influences even the quadren nial term of an administration may bring , forth. If any one, therefore, should be dig- ! posed to complain that’the inaugural address j of Mr. Buchanan consists rather of general statements than of precise definitions respect ing the future course of his policy, it must be admitted in candor that such a reticence has a legitimate foundation not only in the very nature of such political oratory, but in the prudent reserve of a wise statesmanship, which ever acts in the ‘ living present and leaves the deadc.past bury its dead. .We are free to confess that the perusal of the address has given us sincere satisfaction, so entirely unexceptionable does it appear to be in thought and expression. Indeed, we may say that, alike in matter and manner, it reminds us of those sterling attributes of good judgment and common sense which character ized the State papers of President Monroe ; and we can only hope that at the olose of Mr. Buchanan’s administration the comparison thus suggested may extend not only to the well-tempered sentiment and unambitious diction of these two statesmen, but also to that restoration of good feeling which marked the era of the earlier President, and which we fain hope will be the conscientious aim of his veteran successor. From the Pittsburg Daily Union. It is a clear, frank, honest and manly ex pression of the policy by which he is to be governed. In style, it is simple and unadorned; and therefore perspicuous and forcible.— There is no attempt at ornament or polish ; no indulging in tropes or figures. But in plain, unvarnished language he proclaims his opinions boldly, without any cowardly equiv ocation, any contemptible subterfuge, or.any sneaking evasion of the questions at issue. From tho Boston Herald. It is one of the clearest and most straight forward documents of the kind that has ever issued from the capitol. He (Mr. Buchanan) takes boldly and squarely the Democratic platform on the great questions that have ag itated the country for several years past.— Starting with the declaration that he has determined not to be a candidate for re-elec tion, he states his opinions independently and fearlessly. From.the Commercial Advertiser, (Opposition.) President Buchanan’s inaugural address demands attention as the most important feature of yesterday’s proceedings, inas much as it indicates the tone of policy to be adopted by his administration. However we may differ from some of the doctrines and sentiments of that address—and on some points we differ widely—we must admit that it man ifests a fair degree of candor and frankness. Mr. Buchanan takes his stand boldly on the doctrine that “ Congress is neither to legislate slavery into a Territory or State, nor to ex clude it therefrom.” Of course no one son tends that Congress has any power or author ity to legislate for States with regard to any of their domestic or local institutions, and the doctrine thus enunciated is designed to apply to Territories only ; and the new administra tion and the President’s recommendation to Congress, so far as relates to Territories can not, or should not, exclude slavery from the Territories. This single enunciation by the new President will probably lay the basis and define the line of opposition to the admin istration. From the Richmond Enquirer. It is a plain, practical, frank and fearless exposition of his views on the salient subjects which are likely to engage the attention of his administration—a reiteration of the opinions, and a re-affirmation . of the principles, with reference to which he was elected to the Presi dency. His sentiments of fidelity to the Union must touch a kindred chord in every true American heart; his views of the ques tion pertaining to territorial legislation must meet the approval of every lover of law and order, 'every advocate of the rights of the States and the sovereignty of the people. His allusion to the surplus revenue, and to the legitimate mode of reducing it, is in exact accordance with the liberal policy we had ex pected him to prescribe. With regard to the public lands, and to a‘ strict construction of the constitution, it will be seen that he assev erates the same conservative sentiments that ever characterized his public acts. From the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, (Opposition.) If good wishes could help Mr. Buchanan in an honest endeavor to tranquilizo and har monize the whole country, he would have no lack of them ; the Republican party alone would give them in abundance. Let him carry*the patriotic sentiment and the equita ble and conciliatory spirit, which we are free to say, in good measure pervade his inaugural, into his practical administration, and he will experience no factious opposition from the parties which withheld from him their votes. Affairs at Washington—Ratification of the Clarendon-Dallaa Treaty. Washington, March 12.—The Foreign Ministers ip a body, called on the President at the White House to-day, and were intro duced by General Cass. M.

Editors : —During the lat© Presidential cam paign, the States forming the Southern portion of our Coa* federacy, were assailed by the Abolition press and Aboli tion orators of the North with a continued, unmitigated' torrent of vituperative abuse, unparalleled by the annals of any previous political campaigu. The Black Republican press teemed wich scurrilous invectives anct vulgarities— the most outrageous, treasonable and libelous mi* atat*. meats of matter and facts, calculated to prejndice the db£ pie ol the North against the customs, Institutions audneo ple of the South. Black Republican orators incited bytha most virulent prejudices were unsparing in their hostile condemnation of Southern institutions preached treason and disunion and appealed to the' passions and prejudice* of one portion of the American people to alienate them from and induce them to wage an unrighteous and unconstitu tionai warfare against the other.
