FOll GOVERNOR,
4'm Mjiecn cowxn rstuw
The domoiiratfc state convention mot at
Ilarrisburg or. tho 4tb hn.. Every county in
the stato was fully represented. DAVID
R. I'ORTER was renominated on the first
ballot by a unanimity never before equalled
in any convention for a similar purpose in
this stato, but two votes bei.ig east against
him. This event null be hailed with joy
by the Democratic parly throughout the
Male, and rniicd as they will he, will march
on to certain victory at the October election
under the flag of
PORTER AND DEMOCRACY.
We have been compelled to postpone the
proceedings of the convention until our next,
to make room' for the Presidents Inaugural
address, believing that our readers would
be anxious to see this real curiosity.
Wo publish in our paper of to-day the
Inaugural Address of President Harrison.
The following remarks upon il, extracted
from tho Spirit of the Times, coincide so
entirely with our own' views, that wo, copy
them in pieferencc to any thing that wo
can say.
President Ilairison's Inaugural Address
ye have carefully tead, and notwithstand
ing wo sat down to it, determined in a spir
it of magnanimity to praise it if praise were
possible, we arc constrained from a bare re
gurd to truth to pronounce it one of .the
most grandiloquent humbug of the day !
It i3 labored, verbose, obscure, bombastic
and feeble. Its tone is vain-glorious
throughout; and exhibits the author as one
so Intoxicated wiih the greatness of his nov
el position, as to be incapable uf.f, gfTts
distinctly, mr of jimjHWSBglng-ee Th(j gop.
toothers jarfr imlirecl :imi ntl3lllkl)le ,.
nVsTb is to the policy of his predecessor,
and of contradictory positions as to the in
tended character of his own. Column af
tcr column it wasted to prove what no hu
man being was erer silly enough to doubt;
and those subjects summarily despatched in
a few ambiguous Jines upon which have sat
isfactorily enlarged, and Upon which his
opinion has been awaited villi unusual in
terest. The Inaugural Address is indeed a most
unsatisfactory paper. We look through it
in vain for that cnlarged,and stalesnian-likc
view of our s.ieial and political relations,
of the condition of our government and
important principles which divide the one
and influence the other, that wo had a right
to anticipate on such an occasion. We
look through it in vain for a bold, independ
ent, and patriotic revrlatinn of sentiment,
upon any of the grand and leading politi'
eal topics of the times; a revelation, which,
considering that these is, (to uso the lan
guage of tho Inaugural,) no longer a motive
'o keep up the dumjsion timltr tchich
they (i. e. tlio people,) may be suppone I
to jiavi: ACTi:n in rdcuwn to his vrkjci-r-r.t:s
and o:inions," we, in common with
all partb s, naturally expected him to mako.
To bo sure he tells us in six long column,
that he is opposed to " a second term" to
an' exclusively metalic currencv to the
governmental .control of tho press to the
uso of the voto, except as a conservative
power to tho removal of Secretaries of
Treasury, without a communication of all
the attending circumstances to Congress
and to tlio subservience of the people's of
ficers generally to the Executive will.
This is the sum and substances of bis ad
dress, although clothed in such a multitude
of words that it is difficult lo recognize.
Upon Ihti subject of a National llan!:, he
does not trust himself wilb the utterance of
a thought. It is a theme with which he
dared not meddle, or else about which he
entertained no definite ideas. In telalion
to thu Tariff, ho is equally circumspect
and inysteiious. The ' delicate duty of
devisiii" schemes of revenue," he proposes
lo leave altogether in the hands of the im
mediate representatives of the people. As
regards (he Molition question, instead of
boldly denouneing the fanatics who would
.revolutionize rinr country, and bathe it in
human b.ood, to carry out their cxtraordma
ry ideas of social equality, be merelv hiuis
at it obliquely, with a remark that the citi
zens of one Stato cannot, with propriety,
intcferc with the domestic ui.titutious of a
notlicr Siate, sayo in the way of recommen
dation at Ilia same time gravely informing
us, (wonderful discovery ! 1) that no indi
vidual ran bo a citizen of two Slates atone
mid tho samo moment ! On tho subject of
tlio Independent Treasury, be ja exceed
ingly amliiguv'us. While iie bestows upon
a divorce of tfm Sjato from tho Hanking in
bllwiiotisjir our country, a left-handed coin
plfment, ho leaves - his real sentiments, if
ha have an Vj ajtngp.ihcr lo cojijecitirc. Jn
fine, there fs n6th)iig hew, nothing origins, I
nothing biit a flatulent reiteration of the po
litical slatig of bis part)', from tho fam
mcncometil to the tcrmijiation of this most
weak, and most uningehtious address.
IMPORTANT RUMOR.
" Il is rumored that Mr.'F6x, tho British
minister at Washington, in pursuance of
instructions received 'from his govemme'nt,
by tho President Steamer, has demanded of
our government, the peremptory libciatiun
n McLcnd, and upon refusal, his passport
that he may rctutn to England.
The N. Y. Herald says that it is also
ijeneMlly believed among the diplomatic
eors, that, in the present positon of Me
Leod's affair, the .American (iovcrnmvnt,
according lo the law cf nations, tvill deliv
er up McLrod to the Canadian authorities
and thus take him out of the. hands of the
legal authorities of New 1'orh.
