Jefferson's Inaugural Address.
We copy a few passages from the first
Inaugural address of President Jefferson.-
-This address has never been excelled for the
beauty of its political sentiments. Many of
its sentences are found in our political lit
erature. It was delivered fifty-two years ago.
Friends and Fellow Citizens :
Called upon to undertake the duties of the
first executive office of our country, I avail
myself of the presence of that portion of my
fellow citizens which is here assembled, to
express grateful thanks for the favor with
which they have been pleased to look to
wards me, to declare a sincere consciousness
that the task is above my talents, and that I
approach it with those anxious and awful
presentments which the greatness of the
charge and the weakness of my powers so
justly inspire. A rising nation, spread over
a wide and fruitful land, traversing all the
seas with the rich production of their in
dustry, engaged in commerce with nations
who feel power and forget right, advancing
rapidly to destinies beyond the reach of mor
-tal eye—when-I contemplate these trans
cendent objects, and see the honor, the hap
piness, and the hopes of this beloveiffeountty
committed to the issue and the aueirces of this
day, I shrink from the contemplation, and
humble myself before the magnitude of the
undertaking. Utterly, indeed, should I de
spair, did not the presence of many whom I
here see remind me, that in other high au
thorities provided by our constitution I shall
find resources of wisdom, of virtue, and of
zeal, on which to rely under all difficulties.
To you, then, gentlemen, who are charged
with the sovereign functions of legislation,
and to those associated with you, I look with
encouragement for that guidance and sup
port which may enable us to steer with safe
ty the vessel in which we are all embarked
amid the conflicting elements of a troubled
world. * * * All too, will bear in mind this
sacred prinCiple, that though the will of the
majority is in all cases to prevail, that will,
to be rightful, must be reasonable ; that the
minority possess their equal rights, which
equal laws must protect, and to violate which
would be oppression. Let us, then, fellow
citizens, unite with one heart and one mind.
Let us restore to social intercourse that har
mony and affection without which liberty and
even life itself are but dreary things. And
let us reflect that having banished from our
land that religious intolerance under which
mankind so long bled and suffered, we have
yet gained little if we countenance a political
intolerance as despotic, as wicked, and cap
able of as bitter and bloody persecutions.—
During the throbs and convulsions of the an
cient world, during the agonizing spasms of
infuriated man, seeking through blood and
slaughter his long lost liberty, it was not
wonderful that the agitation of the billows
should reach even this distant and peaceful
shore; that this should be more felt and fear
ed by some and less by others; that this '
should divine opinions as to measures of safe
ty. But every difference of opinion is not
a difference of principle. We have called
by different names brethren of the same
principle. We are all republicans—we are
all federalists. * * * Let us, then, with cou
rage and confidence pursue our own federal
and republican principles, our attachment to
our Union and representative government.
Kindly separated by nature and a wide ocean
from the exterminating havoc of one quarter
of the globe, too high-minded to endure the
degradations of the others ; possessing echo
sen country, with room enough for our des
cendants to the hundreth and thousandth
generation; entertaing a due sense of our
equal right to the use of our own faculties,
to the acquisitions of our industry, to honor
and confidence from our fellow citizens, re
sulting not from birth but from our actions
and their sense of them; enlightened by a
benign influence, professed , ndeed, and prac
tised in various fortes, yet all of them in
cluding honesty, truth, temperance, grat
itude, and the love of man; acknowledging
and adoring an overuling Providence,
Which by all its dispensations proves that it
'delights in the happiness of man here and
his greater happiness hereafter, with all these
blessings, what more is upeessary to make
us a happy andprosperous people*? * * *
About to enter, fellow citizens, on the exer
cise of duties which comprehendevery thing
dear and valuable to you, it is proper that
you should understand what I deep, the es
sential principles of our government, and con
sequently those which ought to shape its
administration. I will compress them within
the narrowest compass they will bear, stat
ing the general principle; but not all its lim
itations. Equal and exact justice to all men
of whatever state or persuasion, religious or
political; peace, commerce and honest friend
ship with all nations—entangling alliances
with none; the support of the state govern
ments in all their rights, as the moat com
petent administration for our domestic con
cargo and the surest bulwarks against anti
republican tendencies ; ;he preservation of.
the general government in its whole con
stitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our
peace at home and safety abroad; a jealous
'care of the right of electing by the people—
s mild and safe corrective of abuses wig&
NUMBER 26.
are lopped by the sword of revolution,
where peaceable remedies are unprovided ;
- abTointe - toquiescenccrinitheilecisions - of the
majority—the vital principle of republics,
from which there is no appeal but to force,
the vital principle and immediate-parent-of
despotism. A well disciplined militia—our
best reliance in peace and for the first mo
ments of war, till regulars may relieve them;
'-the supremacy of the civil over the military
authority; economy in the public expense;
that labor may be lightly burdened ; the hon
est payment of our debts, and sacred..pres
ervation of the public faith; encourag ements
of agricthure, and of commerce as its:hind.
maid ; the diffusion of information and the
arraignment of all abuses at the ixtr of, pub
lic reason; freedom of religion ; freedoin'ef
the press ; freeclom of person Onder the pro
jection of the habeas 'corpus and; trial by
juries impartially selected—these principles
from the bright constellation which has gone
before us, and guided our steps through ark
age of revolution and reformation. • The
wisdom of our sages and the bleed of our
..he
roes have been devoted to their attainment.
They Should be the creed of our political faith
—the text of civil instruction—the touch
stone by which to try the services of those
we trust ; and should we wander from them
in moments of error or alarm, let us hasten
to retrace our steps and to regain the road
which leads to peace, liberty, and safety.
St. Patrick.
The accounts as to the place of St. Pat
rick's birth differ; probably because a good
many places would like to have the honor
of being considered his birth-place. Some
accounts say that he was born in Brittany,
near the end of the 4th century. But that
which seems to be most reliable states that
he was born on the fifth of April, A. D. 873,
of a good family, at Kirkpatrick, near Dun
barron, in what was called Scotland, but
was then comprehended under the general
denomination of Britain. His baptismal
name signified, in the British language, val.
iant in , war. During some inroads of certain
exiles in Ireland, he was taken prisoner, and
carried into that kingdom, where he contin
ued six years in the service of Milcho, who
had bought him of three different persons,
whence Patrick required the name of Cat.
roig, or Ceathar- Tigh, that is, four fami
lies. Afterwards, it will be seen that he
had other names given him, so that he mar
well be called the "child of many fathers,'
if the giving of names constitutes paternity.
While in Ireland, he made himself master
of the Irish language, and, at last having
effected his escape—(in those days there was
no fugitive slave law)— he returned home
on board a ship. About two years after
wards, he formed the design of converting the
Irish; and the better to qualify himself for
this undertaking, he travelled on the Con
tinent, where he contiuned thirty 7 five years
—a long *arid patient course of prepekation.
pursuing his studies under the direction of
his mother's uncle, St. Martin, bishop of
Tours, who ordained him deacon, and at.
terwards under St. German, bishop of Aux
erre, who ordained him priest, and gave him
the third name of Macon, or Maginim. An
ancient author, Henricue Anlisioderensis,
who wrote a book concerning the miracles
of St. German, considers it the highest hon•
or of that prelate to have been the instructor
of St. Patrick.:
He was consecrated bishop by the Pope
who at the same time gave him another
name, that of Patricius, expressive of his
probable descent, and to impart lustre and
dignity to his commission, viz,: to convert
the Irish. He landed in Ireland at Wick
low, in 431. His first convert was Sinai!,
eighth in descent from Cormace, King. of .
Lienster; but not meeting with encourage
ment he proceeded to . Dublin, and thence to
Ulster, where he founded'a church, after
wards the famous abby of Saul, in the court•
ty of Down. After laboring seven years
indefatigably in this great work, he Isroceed
ed to Britain, which he delivered from the
heresies of Pelagus and Arius. He then
engaged several' eminent persons to assist
him, and visited the Isle of Man, which he
converted in 440, and founded a bishopric,
which in later times was adortie4 by the
saintly bishop - of Wilson. In the year 448
he returned to the See of Armagh, which
he had founded three years before; stildi in
thirteen years more completed the conver
sion of the whole island. After this he went
