The shouts arid bursts. of music from al:Texan bands subsided as the President elect and Chief Justice. of the United States rose simultruleously i and the lat ter commenced, irr Clear and solemn tones, to recite the formula of tbe Presi dential Oath of Office, which General Grant reverentially took.. The boom of cannon and shouts of the yast multitude then burst forth. Partial. quiet having been restored, the President rose and proceeded to read from manuscript his inaugural address. President Grant's Inaugural Addrerith Citizens of the United States: Your suffrages having elevated me to the . office of President of the United States, I have, in conformity with the Constitution of our country, taken the oath of office prescribed therein. I have taken this oath without mental reserva tions, and with the determinaticin to do, witlrthe best of my ability, all that' it requires of me. The' responsibilitiesi of the position I feel, but accept them office - ont fear. The has come to me On sought. I comlnence its duties untra*- meled. I bring to ILA einuselentious" cs al*Atedl44antliiiiiintation to au it to the beg ornay. ability. to the' satisfacti n of the people. On all the leading questions agitati l g the public mind; I will always express my views to Congress, and urge them i t c cording to my. judgment, and, whe I think it advisable, will exercise the n stitutional privilege of interposing tt,, , v to to defeat measurer; .whickLuppose r ., ut 1 .43 all laws • will be' faithfully execu d, whether they meet my approval or n t. I shall, on 'all subjects, have a poll y to, recommend ,;. but none to' enfor . against the will of the people. The laws are -to govern all alike-- those" eppOsed to Ili well as those'who 4 vor them. I know of no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution. The country,'" having just emerged from a great rebellion,, many questions will come before it for settlement, in the next four years, which preceding admin istrations haie never had to deal with. In meeting these, it is desirable that they should ^be approached calmly, WithOitt prejudice, hate or sectional pride; .re membering that the greatest good to the greatest number is the object to be at tained. This iequires the security of persons, property, and for religious and ' political opinions in every part of our common country, and without regard to local prejudictis. Laws to secure these will receive my best efforts for their en. foreement. A great debt has been contracted in se curing us and to oar posterity the Union. The payment of this, principal and inter est, as well as the return to a specie ba sis, as soon as it can bo accomplished, without materbadetriment to the debtor class or to the country at large, must "be provided for. To protect the National honor, every dollar of the Government indebtedness should be paid in gold, unless otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract: Let it be.understood that no repudiator of one farthing of our public debt will be trusted in public,place, and it will go far towards strengthening a credit which ought to be the best in the world, arid will ultimately enable us to replace' the debt with bonds bearing less interest than, we now pay'. . To this - should be added a faithful col lection of the revenue; a strict accounta bility to the Treasury • for every dollar collected, and the greateat practicable re. trenchment in thecxpenditures in every department of the GOernment. When we compare the paying capacity orthe country now,—with ten of its States still in poverty from the' effects of the war: but soon to emerp,e, I trust, to 'a greater prosperity than ever before,—with ,the paying capacity of twenty-five years ago, and calcute what it Probably will be twenty-Sve years hence, who can doubt the feasibility of paying every dollar then, with more ease than we now pay forour useless luxuries. Why, it l oo k s as though Providence had bestoWed upon us ;a strong boxlhe precious metals, locked up in the st , rile mountains of the far-west, which we are now forging the key to unlock', to meet the very contin gency that is now Upon us.
