- Saw YOBS, March s.—The Herald
says, after rehearsing the points of Gen.
Grant's inangurul : "Here, then, in
cluding economy, retrenchment and 'a
faithful collection of the public revenue,
we'have the sailing direction of the new
administration. What is the general
prospect? lt is one full of promise,
prosperity, progress, development and
potyer at home and abroad, and so opens
the new book of American history."
The WOld says: , "The inaugural
shows too much confidence .and self-stif
ficiency; lacks the grave and sustained
prop iety of expression befitting the
:Chi Magietrate; has •to- original ideas,
'and verything in the message.which is
not flatis crude, and it is a mere echo of
the tritest commonplace of the Republi
can press."
Th= Tribune says: "The emphatic
declaration of. President Grant that we
should pay. our national debt to the ut
termbst farthing, is worthcountless4rill
none to the
theirbor, commerce and pros
peritof epublic." It farther says:
Grant will be the champion of the Mon
roe doctrine, and direct his policy towards
consolidating and extending republican
lust tutions upon the North American .
Con ineht." It hopes to receive from
Pr ident Grant a splendid administra
tio .-
T e Times says: "The inaugural
ton .hes great wants, indicates great du
tie and propagates a great policy with
a distinctness that leaves nothing in
doubt, and the forte of trun-born ear
nestiu,ss. General Grant -had something
to say and , he has said it thoroughly and
well. No one doubts that General Grant
will aim to meet the just wishes and ex
pedtations of the Republican party, not
by conceding to the demands of its indi
vifinal niembers, but, by promoting the
welfare of country, and:building lip
its, prosperity on the principles of the
party, as the only principles on which it
cap be safe and permanent." '
The Sun says: " The inaugural is a
pl tin, 'straighforward, succinct declara
tion of .the views which will govern the
National Executive during the next four
years, and expresses the conviction of its
author in a manner which, the popular
heart will everywhere warmly appre
ciates."
