FOR PRESIDENT,
JAMES BUCHANAN,
ltubjeef to .- the decision of the Notional Convention
07Thariks to the gentlemanly Clerk of the
steamer .Imerican Eagk;ior late river papers.
Thelnatigutation.
• Oteinesday last, according to previous arrange
ment, hoth branches of the State Legislature met
in the Hall of the House of Representatives, a
Larrisburgh, for the purpose of attending the in
augutation of Governor Sacs: for the second
term of his. service. At 12 o'clock, M., the Gov.
emir entered the 1141 accompanied by a large
escort of private citiczns, distinguished strangers,
the Heads of Departments, Canal Commissioners,
Judges of the Courts, members of the Bar, and
Capt. Hendenon's company of "Carlisle Cadets.'
The TO of office was administered to him by
the Spgdter of the State, after which, he deliver.
ed an Inaugural Atid.wts, which, for purity and
perspecuity of style, force of argument, and truly
sound and patriotic sentiments, will command the
admiration of every intelligent and unprejudiced
reader. We give the address below :
FiIINDS FtLLOW
In appearing before you, to renew the solemn
obligation of fidelity to the Constitution, and
my pledges for the faithful execution of the
duties, to which the suffrages of the people
have, again called me, I avail myself of your
presence, .to express to you, and, through you,
to my fellow-citizens of the Commonwealth,
my gratitude for the favor with which they
have regarded my 'efforts, to discharge the
duties of my trust in good faith. The practical
knowledge which I have acquired, of the various
and complicated duties of the Chief Executive
Majistrate of.' the State, increases the distrust, I
have always felt,of my ability so to perform them.
as to justify the public approval ; and constrains
me to solicit a continuance of the same,kina in
dulgence, which has been hitherto extended to me
so generously.
In taking the solemn oath, which the Constitu
tion exacts from all who are clothed with the de
legated will of the people, it is proper to recall to
mind the principles upon, which our government
is based—that their spiri' and meaning may
apprehended, their value appreciated, and the ob
ligation toguard them with untiring vigilance, en
forced.
In the formation of our government, political
power has been resolved into its simplest element.
It is the rowan or rut PEOPLX, by the expres
sion of their will, in free and equal elections. to
alms; and this assumes f.r.r its lesis.'rhe great
fundamental truth, that man is capable-of ;cif gas
essimeld. r!,
This great .political principle, onlypartially de
♦eloped before, was, by our republican fathers,
made the ground work of .written constitutions,
which defined and limited the power" of govern
men' and prescribed the duties of those to whom
its administration was entrusted. This The
animating principle of our whole:systerio: It
shields life and liberty, the acquisition,and - enjoy
meat of property and reputation. Assuming the
ioberent and exclusive right„,of the people to in
,stitute government for their peace, safety and hap
piness, it secures religious friedom, free and equal
elections, the trial by jury, general education, the
liberty of the press, and all the essential guards
of religious, political, civil and personal tight.-
This democratic power cf government, is the se
curity of liberty in all its forms;—and no other
fundamental, political power, is recognized in this
country. .
Its happy influence is traced, in the rewards
which follow industry and enteprise among us,
with such astonishing rapidity. But as wealth
increases. causes that are inherent in human na
ture, produce inequality in its distribution. The
. fathers of our government, foresaw the tendency
of this, and that it might eventuate in the crea
tion of a permanent aristocracy of wealth.—
Wisely guarding against it, they not only abol
'shed the laws of primogeniture and entails, and
enacted our equal lawi of descent and distribu
tion, but they secured to us, their posterity, the
equal right of acquiring, possessing and protect
ing property, by making it an essential article of
the Constitution.
,Still, political society is, and always must be,
influenced, to a considerable extent, by the differ
ing• circumstances of the people. Capital and
labor, if regarded separately, have apparently dif
ferent interests:—and yet these powers, if left to
their unrestricted action, under the salutary influ
ence of our system, mutually sustain and cherish
each other. Those who represent each, vsilt;--in
. the progress of affairs, change their positions;
laborers will become capitalists. and capitalists
taboret - et—and these quiet, and peaceful, and
equalizing revolutions, will be ever in progress;
neither predominating, or injuriotu-ly controlling
the other ; but both contributing, in perfect bar
., mony, to the promotion of the general welfare.
It is to this free and natural combination of la
" Ave and capital, under the controlling influence of
*ieligous and civil liberty, that we may ascribe the
unexampled progress of civilization and refinement
amongst us, the advance of science and the arts,
and the illustrations which surround cis on every
side, of the power of man to exalt his moral and
intellectual nature. Yet it is a fact, not to be con
dated, that the interests, so beneficially and justly
united by the wise policy of our system, are not
always content widk that equality of rights, which ,
is in fact the best security of both. Capital, with
untiring industry, is ever seeking, f om the Lewis' a
. tare, the grant of special protection and perspicu•
ity of , privilege. This, if admitted, is at once de
structive of the balance between these powers,
which it should be tee aim of government steadily
. to maintain, and worki most injuriously to the cit
izen, leading to oppression on the one hand, and to
dependence on the other. Thus, flit beautiful or
der of the whole system is . I cr-inged, arid the foun
dations upon whist, s.rordure of govern.
meet has ri.-en, to co, tr 'I the ce-tinies of the
world, ate undermined. To cnuntri act this injuri
ous tendency of capital an-I to c,iiifine it within
dui just limits.presei it, I by 11. e Constitution, is
the high and ir.t l dative duty of every citizen,
and especially of ,nose to «I, ee official guardiau
ship the poblic interests are confided.
ImpretFed with the tiJrce of this obligation, and
" with a ised puip...Ne to maintain all the princi
' pies of our government, 1 adhere to the opinions
I had the honor to announce in my firatjnaugu
ral Address . and I avail myself-of this occasion
to add, th it 1 hold every attempt on the part of
those who are entrusted with delegated and Um
' ited powers, to create a public debt without
providing ample means for its payment, within a
reasonable period; to make contract , a the form
of grants to individuak for binding posterity ; to
create nevi , powers of government, without the
'-conranat of the people; to place any delegated
• -powers, which are dependent upon the popular
• • will, beyond its 'control; to increase or dim.nish
• any executive, legislative or judicial power, he de
fined by the Constitution, is interdicted by that
instrument, or manifestly unwise cr impolitic.—
.. These opinions ate only a response to the public
sentiment, in regard to the principles of the go
vernment, which sentiment is always in advance
-of those who affect to distrait the judgment of the
• people, and -doubt their capacity to
,rule them
,•eelves. • • . ,
• • - With an earnest desire fully to realize- the im
posing solemnity of my position, and feeling my
dependence upon our Heavenly Father, 1 humbly
initPktrifit assistance, that His strength may sus
tiii;Liivid'int'''wisdorn direct me in the perform
- -.anent& all the:duties of the high office to which
I :ain 'called

ing of the friends of r ilift:;i NICIIANIN, in Bedford,

to which we alluded lin Our paper of Saqurdny.—
The resolutions are s •t:014 and - pointed. A friend
in writing from Bed Ortl,'states that ‘• or of the

is anxious to have theig published. lie will go
heartily for BUCRAIT I 4I4A our County is strong lot

We are surprised ihai..Gen. Bowstart (whom INF

close the colUmlit; of his paper against his
Otvn political brethreit:' We claim that every
deniocrat has a right tare heard, when he clothes
his . thoughts in unexretrtionable language, and it
is ;rot democratic for Xn Editor to exclude pro
ceedings of-public Meelnge, simply for the reason
that he may not air, in all things with those
who may have taken Ort in the meeting. We
trust our friend Geri , 4wrassr, willrecorsider his
resolution in this tritittkr, and; make up his mind
to let Mr. 13trcussi!ill friends be heard through
the columns of the 43eifford Gazette.

unconstitutional att . zrif the President. Leaving
out of the questioul implied censure of ° Gen

rashly precipitatol, herself into the conflict of

war on whichitli4ussion must necessarily culmi

universally adrnitted. So far, therefore, as we
can discern, the }tar on the part of the forces of
the United St :00.was commencedi i n set/_.;r/„,re—
it will continue fn. be prosecuted , nr indemnity—
ond it will be teriiiinated only when that rash and

and that we consider bo position, within the gift of
the American People, too exalted for his merit.
But whilst we eneerfully accoriP,this tribute to his
worth, we cannot forget -4 Pennsylvania's favorite

TZIE 4TR 8. ARMY,
Who - fell bffo" - Ohe gates of Mexico, Sept. 1301,1837
Night fell in softness o'er the-sceitet—
The toil-worn soldier sank to-rest;
- And, by the watch-fire's ruddy sheen,
With dream of home was blest.
But yet, upon the midnight air
Rang the wild shriek of fell despair ;
For still that battery's fearful boom,
ThreaVning each moment to cs'erome
, Thy towers, Chapultepec!
Presag'd that thy impending doom
Shadow'd thy country's wreck.
Wearily on the morning came ;
Uprose the burning sun;--
But ero the coming ev'tung's close
Spread its dark pall o'er friends and foes,
Mid the fierce battt ry's constant flame,
fly deeds that win immortal fame,
Chapultepec was won.--
Craned then the swords' vindictive blows,
And mercy spared a cowering foe ;
When first the thrilling shout arose,
" ONWARD TO MEXICO."
Dark masses o'er the causeway pour;
Our starry banner flaunts before ;
And echoing by the lakelet shore,
Through the high alcli 's span,
Is Davis's brave battery's sullen roar,
Heard thund'ring, in the van.
Fiercely, but vain, the swarthy foe
That ron-storm withstood ;
And from the bristling Citadel
Hurl'd death abroad in shot and shell ;--
Thou'rt conquered ; but the vengeful blow
That mark'd thy ruin, Mexico,
Puur'd out a Hero's blood.

-Before the lofty fretted gate,
Far from his country, friends and home .
He bravely met his fate.
The peal of vict'ry, o'er his bier,
Came faintly to his dying ear,
And as he heard the soldier's knell,
Shouted, in death-pang, ere ho fell,
(In with the battery. on I"'
And died.—His deeds will live to tell
Of duty sterol , done.
Brave soldier! thine's the sleep of fame;
The glorious tumult of the fight,
Thai proudly links. thy deathless name •
To Churubusei's bloody field:—
And where Contreraet squadron rcel'd
And Cerro Gordo's height;—
With thee is past ;--but where is told
Their tale of glory, is enroll'd
That name in living of light.
And Westmoreland, whose fearless Sons
Saw thee in death expire,
Thou, and her brave heroic ones,
Whose fall she mourns, to her bequeath
Glory's unfading laurel wreath,—
Arid sacred patriot fire,—
Which she will cherish, while remains
Each green hill of their native home ;
While living verdure crowns the plains
By honor hallow'd, where their manes
Have moulderd'in the tomb.

" Forward with the battery."

The Athenzum Saloon, on Friday evening, was
c towded at an early hour, by a somwhat rather
sanguine audience, notice having been given, that
the Rev. A. Welton, from Baltimore, would deliver
an exposition on Odd Fellows tip.
A goodly number of the coons were present,
thinking that the Rev. speaker would give an
expose of the awful and terrifying " ordeal thro'
which candidates for the brotherhood must pass.
In this, however, they were disappointed. The
Morgsnites could not come it! The Lecture em
braced a minute, analytical explanation and expo
sition of the footing upon which Odd Fellowship
is based, the necessity existing for such an order,
arid its utility, Lenevolence, and benefits. its

"THE PEOPLE ARE COMING
A few months ago, if we were to judge from
the tone of those who are the mast noi y, and
strive to thanufadare public opinion in Pensylva
nin, it appeared doubtful who was the c h oke of
i•
the people in regard to the next presidency, or on!
whom the democracy would concentrate. But,
to those who attended to the still, calm voice of
an enlightened people, who always act from prin
ciple, and oho are always right in public matters
and in relation to public men, when they are pro-
perly informed. could not help but observe a strung
curreuf flowing in favor of Hon. ha. BUCHANAN.
His sound statestna4ip, ilist'.nguished patriotism,
and moral worth, cannot be concealed by the vi
tuperative malice of his political enemies. The
part he took in the Oregon controversy, the Mexi
can war, and other important questions, of-,1 the
great ability he has shown in advocating the t o - ue
policy and interests of the republic, endear him
to'qbuse who love their country—to the unsophis
ticated honest patriot. As an evidence of this,
look at the convention lately held in Allegheny

LOCAL MATTERS.
Tits Emir Flmix.r.—We were present in P'hilo
Hall, on Friday evening, listening'to these aczorn.
plished yocalists. They give «Hutchinson". con,
certs; and though, perhaps, not;equal,•in all re
spects, to the - celebrated Hutchinson Family, they
are, nevertheless, delightfid singers. We were
sorry that they did not resort to means that would
bave given more publicity to the entertainment;
for we are sure that—had it been known generally
that they were to give a Concert on Friday even
ing—the Hall would have been filled. As it.was
the audience was respectable ; and all left well
pleased with the musical powers of the Troupe.
The ladies of this Family deserve especial notice.
they are very pretty, extremely modest in appear
ance, and dressed in excellent taste. Their voices
are melodious, and have been highly cultivated. -
—Another Concert is announced for this even
ing. We trust our citizens will do honor to the
musical taste of the city, by giving good encour
agement to these truly meritorious people.
TIIE NODELS.-KE understand that Dr. Coll
yer's company of artistes, who perform the
Living Statues," are actually coming to this ci
ty, and will appear in June or July. Perhaps
we are mistaken in the character of their exhibi
tions ; they may. be perfectly moral—but if sot
the press East has belied them moat outrage
ously.
We first noticed the matter in the Baltimore
Sun, and for the information and enlightenment
of our readers, we quote a portion of Editor's re
marks. If there does appear any thing unjust
in the article, we are willing to make amends ; but
we have an idea that it will be found correct:
" Model Artiste:."—This is the term by which
an entirely novel species of "entertainment" is
designated, as some of our readers are doubtless
informed—a style of exhibition recently import
ed from Europe, under the special supervision
and management of a certain Dr. Collyer, whilom
known to this community as a mesmeric prac
titioner.
This is a subject we should leave untouched, were
we to consult our own feelings in reference there
to ; it is as revolting to the pen as to the eye, and
challenges delicaCy of expression and of thought.
But, inasmuch as the evil seems to increase in
magnitude, and disposed to force itself upon the
observation of an indiscriminate assemblage, it is
time to notice itan a becoming manner, and to
leave its condemnation with a chaste and enlight
ened community.
It is necessary to remark, briefly, that this ex
hibitionconsists of - representations of certain
groups llhd individual figures copied from statuary
and painting of ancient and modern masters=
The personas of the exhibition are living men and
women—or "ladies and gentlemen," as the bills
modestly designate them. For our. part, we con
eider the generic term of woman foully abused by,
such'an application; associated as it is with all
that is delicate, refined, and retiring to the appre. I
hension of the rightly constituted mind of man.
It appears that, at first, these „representations were
made by figures draped with some regard to de
cency; but gradually this flimsy pretext was re,
moved, piece by piece, until at last a portion of
the exhibition; at• least, consisted of one or more
female figures entirely nude to the eye, the illusion
being maintained ,by flesh colored silk, fitting,
tight to the person. For instance, a " Nate going!
to bathe, - is of this character; as, also, " Time
discovering Truth "—a bit of gossamer-like gauze
only interposing in this latter picture, and height
ening
probably the laciviousness of the effect.—
We must plead the necessity of the case for these
references, and the purpose we have in view, as
our apology for submitting such facts as these to
the knowledge of those who may have been here
tofore uninformed of the character of these exhis
bitions.
UNCOMFORTABLE RIDB.—A tiraylEßß was MEL
pellet! to take a ride, on Saturday afternoon, for
which he made no bargain. His horse started on
Irwin street, at full gallop, with dray and driver.
By some means, the unfortunate Jehu (if a dray
man can be:so styled,) became entangled with his
lines, and swung under the dray, in which peril-.
ous position he hung unti I the horse was stopped
by some folks who were passing. He was taken
into a store—not killed, but badly wounded and
considerably scared.
oz). Rev. Welton rather astonished his audience
on Friday evening. He announced in his bills
!hit he would give t , exposition of Odd
lowship." Moat folks, not comprehending the
drag of the phiase exactly, thought, as a matter
of course,that he intended to denounce he order,
and expose their villanies! Not so, however.--
He appeared as an advocate and defender, and an
able one proved himself to be, according to report.

The Fatal Consequence.—The bills of mortality
which we daily see recorded, and the vast number
that die of Consumption, and the very many of our
'friends and acquaintances who are seriously and
dangerously afflicted, and must ere long pay the
debt of Nature, is alone sufficient evidence that no
time should be lost in getting clear of the very first
evil seed of disease as soon as possible, before it
takes root and destroys life. Occular demonstrations
are daily visible to the public, that "DR. DUN.
CANS EXPECTORANT REMEDY , ' is the only
safe and effectual Medicine that will 'completely
eradicate the first symptoms of this fatal. Disease.
• Important Warning to those who neglect a Cold.—
It is evident, and decided by the most experienced
physicians, that Consumption is mostly encouraged
by a neglect ofa Cold at the first attacx. -How many
persons are there that put off from time to time pro
curing a suitable medicine, until the disease begins
to assume a serious character, when in all proLa
bility they are past the power of medical aid. May
these lines prove a warning to those afflicted with
the first symptoms of Consumption, that they may
immediately use "Di. Deraceres ExxxcronArcr
RXXEDY," which is expressly for the disease of the
respiratory: system. It is certain to remove a Cough
in a few days, -at thesame time relieving the pain
in the side and breast, and' arresting the progress o
this-fatal disease-Consumption! The " Expecto
rant Remedy') has a decided advantage over all
other preparations. It is entirely free frem Opium,
and all other violent Narcotics. It regulates the
system, and gives strength to the wessand'nervous.
