AMES BUCHANAN'S INAUGURAL ADDEESS. Ffli.owCitiikjis I appear before yon tbi y to luke the solemn oath "that 1 will faith, illy execute the office of President of the nued gtetes, mi (I will to tbe best of my iility, preserve, protect, and defend the con ilutioti or the United States." In entering pun this great office, I must humbly invoke le God ol our Fathers for wisdom und firm to execute) its high nod responsible du es in tuclt manner a to restore harmony nd ancient friendship among the people of le several States, and to preserve our free latitat iom throughout inuny generations. Convinced that J owe my election to the in erent love for tho Constitution and the itiioti, which si ill uuiniates the lieurts of the Vniericnn people, let me earnestly alt their uwcrful support in sustaining all just mea uret calculated to perpetuate these, the idlest political bleytiliga which houven has 'Ver bestowed upon uny nation. Having de ennined not to become a candidate for re lection, t shall have no motive to influence uy coiid'jct in administering the (Jovernmeut xcvpt the desire, ably and faithfully to serve ny country, and to live in tho grateful memo ry of my countrymen. Wo have recently passed through a Presidential contest in ivhich the passions of our fellow-citizens were j.n cited to the highest degrei by questions of depp and vital importance, llul when the people procluimed their will, the tempest at once subsided, and all was culm. The voice of tho majority, speaking in the manner pre scribed by thu Constitution, was beard, and instant submission followed. Our own coun try could alone have exhibited so grand nud striking a capacity or inun for self-government. What a happy conception, then, was it for Congress to upply this simple rule, "that the will of the majority shall govern," to the settlement or the question of domestic slavpry in the territories. Congress is nei ther "to legislute slavery into the territory, nor to exclude it therefrom," but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and re gulule tiieir domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States. As u natural conse quence, Congress has also prescribed that when tho Territory of Kansas shnll bo admit ted as a State, it shall bo received into the Uuion with or without slavery, as their own constitution may prescribe at the time of their admission. A uitlerent opinion lias arisen in regard to the point ot time when the people of a territory shall decide the question for themselves. This is happily a mutter of but little practical importance, besides it is a ju dicial question which legitimately belongs to the supreme Court 01 the united states, oe fore whom it is now pending, and will, it is understood, be speedily and finally settled. To their decision, in common with all good citizens, I shall cheerfully submit, whatever this may be, though it has ever been my indi viduai opinion that, onderthe Nebraska-Kan s as act, the appropriate period will be when the number ot actual residents in the lern tory shall justify the formation of a Constitu tion with a view to its admission as a State into tho Uuion. lint be this as it may. it is the iinperulivu and inuispensuble duty ot toe the Government ot tho Lulled states, to se cure to every resident inbubitant that free und independent expression ot his opinion by his vote. 1 Ins sacred right ot each individual must be preserved. This being accomplished nothing can bo fairer than to leave the peo ple of a Territory free from ail foreign inter ference, to decide their ow n destiny lor them selves, subject to the constitution of the Uni ten States. The whole Territorial question being thus settled upon the priciple of popu lar sovereignty a principle as ancient as free government itself everything of a prac tical nature lies been decided. No other question remains for adjustment, because nil agree that, under the Constitution, slavery in the States is beyond the reach of any human power except that of the respective States themselves wherein it exists. May wo not, then, hope that the long agitation on this subject U upproaching its end, and that th. geographical parties to which it has given birth so much dreaded by the Father of his Country will speedily becomo extinct? Most happy will it be for the country when the public mind shall be diverted from this question to others of more pressing and prac tical importance. Throughout the whole progress of this agitation, which has scarcely known any intermission for more than twenty years, whilst it has been productive of no po sitive good to any human being, it has been a proline source of great evils to the master, to the slave, and to the wholo country. It has alienated and estranged the people of sister Slates from each other, uud has even seriously endangered the very existence of the Uuion. Nor has the danger yet entirely ceased. Under our system there is a remedy for all mere, political evils in the sound sense aud sober judgment of the people. Time is a great corrective. Political subjects, which but a few years ago excited aud exasperated the public mind, have passed away and arc now nearly forgotten. But the question of domestic Slavery is of fur greater importance than of any mere political question, because, should the agitation continue, it may eventu ally endanger the personal safety of a largo portion of our countrymen where the institu tion exists In that event no form of gov. eminent, however admirable in itself, howev er productive of material benefits, can com pensate for the loss of peace and domestic se curity around the family alter. Let every Union loving man, therefore, exert his best influence to suppress this agitation, which, silica the recent legislation of Congress, is without any legitimate object. It is an evil omen of the times that men have undertaken to calculate tho mere material value of the Union,' reasoned estimates huve been presen ted of the pecuniary prolits and local advan tages which would result to different Slates and sections from its dissolution und of the comparative injuries which such u event would inflict ou other States and tedious Evun descending to this low ami narrow view jf tke mighty question, all such calculations are at fault the bare reference to a single consideration w.ll bo conclusive on thi point. Went present enjoy a free trade throughout our extensive and expanding coun try such as the world never witnessed. This trade is conducted on railroads and canals, on noble rivtrs and arms of the sea, which bind together the North and the bouth, and the tue h3t and tho West of our Confederacy. Annihilate this trade, arrest its free progress by the geographical hues of jealous aud hos tile State, aud you destroy the prosperity and on war u marcu oi tue wnoie and every part and involve ull in one common ruin, lint ' such considerations, important as they aie in themselves, si.ik imp iusignilicance. when wc reflect on the terrific evils which would result trom disunion to every poilion of the cooled racy.

Next in importance to the maintenance of t'j Constitution and the Union is the duty if preserving the Uoveroineut free from the tiint or even the suspicion of corroptiou. Public virtue is the vital spirit of Republics : a ad history prove that when tbit has (Wav ed and the love uf money hot usurped its place, although the fount ffraa government in iy remain For a tetaou, tea lakataQce has doparted forever. Our present financial condition to without parallel in history. No ilaticn hat ever be lure beea embarrassed front too large a sur plus io it treasury. Tbia almoet necestiirily give birth to extravagant -iiltko. -It prodocea wild cbrow of xyedrture a. begets a tare of speculators and jobbers, whose ingenuity Is exerted In contriving and promoting expedients to obtain public money 'rim r .nt:..i - i . , ' - i. . i uimj ui tiiiiiai gmur, wneiuur rigut fullyor wrongfully, it autirecled. and the character of the Uovernmxnt sutlers in th estimation of the people. This is, ia Itself, a very great evil. Tho natural mode of relief Iron this embarrassment is 10 appropriate the surplus Id the treasury to ureal national objects, for which a clear warrant can be round in ilia Constitution. Among these I might mention the extinguishment of the public debt, n reasonable increase of the Na vy, which is at present inadequate to te pro tection of our vhsI tonnage afloat, now great er than that of any other nation, as well as to the defence of our extensive sen coast. It is beyond all question tho trne principle that no) more revenue ought to be collected from the people than tho amouct necessary to de fray the expenses of a wise, 'economical and efficient administration of the government To reach this point, it was necessary to resort to a modification of the tariff, and this has, 1 trust, been accomplished in such a manner as to do as little injury us may have been prac ticable to our domestic manufactures, especi ally those necessary for tho defence of the country. Any discrimination against a par ticular branch for the purpose of benefitting favored corporations, individuals or interests, would huve been unjust to the rest of the community, and inconsistent with thut spirit of fairness and equulity which ought to govern in the adjustment ol a revenue tariff. But the squandering of the public money sinks into coPi'iun'.ive lnsicnibcance, as a tempts lion to corruption when compared with the squandering ol the public lauds. N o nation in the tide of time, has ever been blessed with so rich and noble an inheritance as we enjoy upon the Public Lands. In administering this important trust, whilst it may bo. wise to grant portions of them for the improvement of the remainder, yet we should never forget thot.it is our cardinal policy to preserve these lands, us much ns may be, for actual settlers, aud this at moderate prices. We shall thus not only best promote the prosperity of the new Slates and Territories, by furnishing them a hardy and independent race or honest and industrious citizens, but shall secure homes for our children's children, as well as for those exiles from foreign shores who may seek in this country to improve their condi tion, and to enjoy the blessings of civil and religious liberty. Such emigrunts have done much to promote the growth and prosperity of the country. They have proved fuilhful both in peace and in war. After becoming citizens they are entitled under the Conslitu and laws, to be placed on perfect equality with uutive born citizens; and this character they should ever be kindly recognized. The Federal Constitution is a grant from the Slates to Congress to certain specific powers and the question whether this grant should be liberally or strictly construed, has more or less divided political parlies Trom tho begin ning. Without entering into the argument, I desire to state, at the commencement of my Administration, that long experience and observation have convinced me that n strict construction of the powers of tho tiovern ment is the only truo, as well ns the only safe theory of the Constition. Whatever, in our past history, doubtful powers have been exer cised by Congress, these havo never failed to produce injurious and unlmppv consequences Many such instances might be adduced, if tins were the proper occasion ; neither is it necessary for the public service to strain tho language of the Constitution, because all the irreal und uselul powers required lor a sue cessful administration of the Government, both iu peace and in war, havo been granted either in express terms, or by the plainest implication. Whilst deeply convinced of these truths, I yet consider it clear that un der the war-making power Congress may ap propriate money towards the construction of a military road, when this is absolutely ne cessary lor the defence of any State or Terri tory of the Union against foreign invasion. Under tho Constitution, Congress has no power ,-to declare war" "to raise ond sup port armies" "to provide and maintain n ini vv," and to call forth the militia to "repel in vasion." Thus endowed in un ample manner with the war making power the correspond ing duty is required thut ''the United Slates shall protect each of them (the States) against invasion." Now. is it possible to atlortl tins protection to California and. our Puiific pos sessions, except by means of a military road through the Territories of the United States, over which men and nmunition of war my be speedily transported fiom the Atlantic St'utes to meet und repel the invader. In the event of a war with a naval power much Etronger than our own, we should then have no other available access to tho Pacific coast, becuuse such a power would instantly close the route across the Isthmus or Central America. Jt is impossible to conceive, that whil.-t the Constitution has expressly required Congiess to defend all the States, it should yet deny to them, by any lair construction, the only pos sible means by which one of those States ran be defended. Beside, the Government, ever since its origin, has been in the constant practice of constructing military roads. It might also be wise to consider whether the love for the Union which now animates our fellowcitizens on the Pacific coast, may not bo impaired by our neglect or refusal to pro vide for them in their remote rod isolated condition, the only means by which the pow. er of the States on this side ot the Rocky Mountains can reach them in saflieient time to protect them against invasion. I forbear for the present from expressing nn opinion us to the wisest and most econom ical mode in which the Government can lend ils aid in accomplishing this great necessary work. 1 believe that many ol the difficul ties in tho way, which now appear formidable will in a great degree vanish as soon as the nearest uud best route shall huve beeuFntisluc torily ascertained. It may be right, thut on this occasion, I shall make some brief re maikt in regard to our rights and duties as a member of thu great family of nations. In our intercourse with them, there are some plain principles approved by our own expe rience from which wo should never depart. We ought to cultivate peace, commerce, and friendship with all nations, and ibis, not merely as the best means of promoting our own uiateriul interests, but iu u spirit id Christian beuevolence towards fellow men wherever their lot may be cast. Our diplomacy should be direct and frank ; neither seeking to obtain more, nor accepting less, than is our due. We ought to cherish a acred regard for thu independence of all na tions, and never attempt to iultirl'eie in the domestic concerns of any, unlets this ehull be imperatively requited by the great law of sell pieservatiou. To avoid entangling ulliuucea has been a maxim or our policy eversii- the days of Wushiuglon, and its wisdom no one will utlempt to dispute. In short, we ought to do justice in a kindly spirit to all nalious, uud require justice from them iu return. It is our glory thut whilst other nations huve extended their domiuiona by the sword, we have never acquired any territory except by fair purchase ores iu the case of Tex us, by tue voluntary determination or a brave kindred and independent people to blend their destinies Willi vurowu. r.veu our sequin tioni from Mexico forms no exception. Un willing to take advantage of tho fortunes ol war against a bitter itepuhlii-, we purchased these possessions uuder thu treaty of peace tor a turn considered, at tue time a luir euuiv, uluut. Our past history forbids that we hould iu the future acquire territory, utiles l hit be sanctioned by the laws or Justice aud Honor. Acting on this principle, uo nation will have a right to interfere or to complain if ia the prog rem of eveutt wo shall ttill fur ther eiteud our pottetiius. Hitherto in all our acquisitions tke people under the protec tion of tha American flag, have enjoyed civil apd tHjgiovf liberty a at tquataod jt law, and have been contented, prbtperous and hnppy. Their trade with the rest of the world bat rapidly increased and that' every commercial nation bat shared largely in their successful prrgress.-s I ah nil now proceed to tuke the oath prescribed by the Constitution whilst humbly invoking the blotting of Divine Providenci' on thin great people.' t James buciianan. , THE AMERICAN.

Our papers for Lew isb'irg, mailed here on Saturday morniug, do not reach Lcwisburg until Monday noon They are forwarded to Milton, onr P. M says, and must necessarily lay over nt that place. Better carry tbe mail in the old coaches, nt three miles per hour, than bav them lay over for days in getting ten miles' The mails for tbe South are quite os bad They are sent over to Northumberland on Suturduy morning, au hour after the ma leaves for Harrisburg, and lie over there until Monday morning. Thus it takes over 24 hours to send letters and papers either to Selinsgrove or Lewisbnrg, a distance of and 10 miles. The express business is sti worse than tho mails. Goods marked for Sunbury, are taken off at Northumberland. aud kept there until hunted up or found by accident, as if there was uo binding obliga tion to deliver them here. But this matter ill soon be remedied. Tbe completion of tbe rail road to Harrisburg, from thia place will put a new face on these matters. NEW RAILROAD 1'HOJECT. Our Dunville neighbors held a meeting few days since to devise ways and means to extend the Scrauton and Bloomsburg rail road from Rupert station along tho west branch of the river to that place. I his road is the wido guage, 6 feet, and would make Danville the place of transhipment, unless it was extended with the same guago to this place. But to this there is one objection. as it would not suit the narrow guage of the Shamokin cars. This road will not be com plete until extended to this place, in order to connect with the roads leading to Balliuicrc and Philadelphia. THE Ml'HDERtll OK MUIICIIOM. David S. McKim, who murdered Samuel Norcross, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, near Alloona, on the loth of Februury, has been traced by officers of Justice, to Caltnwissn, where he was seen on Wednesday morning the 4th inst., by citizens of that place. It was also rumored that be was seen in Snydertown, io this coouty, and ulso in this place. The I.ewisburg Chronicle tayt a ru mor was afloat in that town that he had been chased iuto tho Chilisquaque marsh. Some of our police have been looking for him in the lower end of this county. If he has been in all these places, he must be n mnst won derfully rebiquitous man. The following is the description of the murderer : "David Stringer McKim, oia Thomas S. Kinney, alias Thonius Braggs, is a man six feet in height, between 3." und 37 years of uge. broad and stoop-sbnulderrd, with head inclined forwurd, large limbs, lurge feet and hands, high forehead and cheek bones, sharp face, long thin nose, bluisb-grey eye, light complexion naturally, but somewhat sunburnt, lip lit brown huir iticlinin to b sandy, bald in front of his bead, thin whis. kers running around his face and under his chin, of a sandy hue. slightly mixed with grey three upper teeth on thu right side of his mouth out, und ha a scar on both the front und back of his left hand, caused by the charge from u pi.-tol having accidentally passed through it. Thisuccident also caused the little linger to be crooked, and the third slightly ufl'ected. Ou tho edge of the right hand is a bony excrescence, caused by that part having been exposed to friction when planing, he being a carpenter by trade. A slight scar is over one of his eyes, and either bit mime or initials are supposed to bo print ed in Indian ink on one of his artist. He bat a downcast, rough look. , Ft'ttTHER Parthti.am. The movemeut of the suspected murder have been energetically tracked. On the 26th ol Febuary he arrived at New Castle, Lawrence county. Pa. but Gliding full descriptions of hit person had already readied mat place, lie fled, traveling in a northern direction toward the New York line. On the night of the 3d in stant, (three days after hit flight from New Castle, be was sen at Harroldsburg, a small village ten mi let northeast of that place, sleeping over night in a carpenters shop. In the morning departed, unmolested. A few dnyt before goiug to New Custle, it appears be wat teen at Salem, Ohio, (near the Pennsylvania, State line,) and exhibited iu hit potsetsion 1200 in money. Suspiciou became arouted, and a coustable of the town arretted him npou the charge of being Mc Kim, tbe murderer. He wat held iu cuttody until the constable telegraphed -to Alloona, Pennsylvania, for advice. An answer from Altoona wat tent, but tbe constuble at Sa lem refused to take it from the telegraph office became it wat unpaid and he would have to disburse fifty ceo It.
