THE PRESIDENT'S INAUGU
RAL MESSAGE.
eromenTitaolf, I appear before you Vo address
you briefly, and to take in your presence the
by the Constitution of the
TJnited HUteTto be taken by the President be
fore he enters upon the execution of his office.
I do not consider it necessary, at present, for
me to discuss those matters of administra
tion about which there is no speoi&l anxiety or
excitement. Apprehension seem* to exist
among the people of the Southern Stales that,
hythe accession of a Bepublican administra
tion. their property, and their pescc and per
sonal security are to be endangered There
never has been any reason or cause for such
apprehension. Indeed, the most ample evi
dence to the contrary has all the while
and been open to their inspection. It is found
in nearly all the published speeches of him
wbp you. Ido but quote from
one of these speeches when I declare that
••I have no purpose, directly or indirectly,
. to interfere with the Institution of slavery in
in the States where it exists. I believe I have
no lawful right to do so, and 1 have no inch
" to do so ” Those who nominated and
, with the full knowledge that
X had made this and many similar declarations
and had never recanted them ; and more than
this, they placed in the platform for my ac
ceotance, as a law to tnemselves and to me,
the clear and emphatic resolution which I now
read: “Reload That the maintenance invi
olate of the rights of the States, and especially
the r'gbt of ofch State to order and control its
own domestic institutions according to■ itoown
Judgment, exclusively, is essential to that bal
Idm of power on which the perfection and
endurance of our political fabric depend, and
-we denounce the lawless invasion by an armed
force of the Boil of any State or Territory, no
mauler under what pretext, as among the
gravest of crimes.” 1 now reiterate these sen
iimenls, and in doing so, I only press upon the
D ubllc attention the most conclusive evident
of which the case is susceptible, that the
ertv peace and security of no section are to be
in anywise endangered by the incoming ad
m any "» » all the protec.
Oon'whß-h, cocsißtently with fj 18 ® OD ‘ lltu f U ,° 1 “
and the Laws, can be given will £ cl T" ,u^
.riven to all the States when lawfully de
manded, for whatever cause, as cheerfully to
one section as to another. There is much con
uoversy about the delivering of fugitives from
service or labor. The clause I read is as
tdaiilv written in the Constitution as any
olh« y of >is provisions. -No person held to
• labor in one State, under the laws
oacaDlng into another, shall in coi.se.
quence’of an? law or regulation
nharecd from such service or labor, but shall
be delivered up on claim oflbe parly to whom
.uch service or labor may be due. It Is scare*
lv questioned that this provision was lnl ® nd< * i
bylhose who made it,for the reclaiming of what
w ? e call fugitive slaves, and the intention of the
hw giver is the law. All members of Con
.nuisesr their support to the whole Con
stitution —to this provision “ “ uc^“
To tho proposiuon then, thAt & avea
whose cases come within the terms of this clause
shall be delivered up,” their oaths are unan
national or State authority, but surely that dif
ference is not a very material °e o h I, lho l ‘“
ij to be surrendered, it can be of bat litUe con
,-Zence to him or to others by which authorl-
OTidone, and should any one, m *ny esse
be con tent that his oath shall go unk.pt on a
merely unsuhatantial controversy es to how
fatil kept. Again, in any law upon this
subject, ought not all the safeguards of liberty
' in civilized end humane jurisprudence
to be introduced, so that a freeman may not m
any case bo surrendered as a slave .
might it not bo well at the same t "nn, to F”-
vide bv law for the enforcement of that clause

so irritating, and so unfeasible with all,
that X deem it better to forego for some
time the use of such offices ; the ma-ls, unless
repelled, will continue to he furrishad in all

grow weary ol the existing government, they

which amendment, however, I have not seen—
passed Congress to tbe effect that the Fed

a misconstruction of what I have ssid, 1 de

such a provision to bo now implied as consti

Magistrate derives all his authority from the
people, and they have conferred none upon
him to fix times for the separation of the
Stales. The -people themselves can do mis
aIBO if they choose, but the Executive, as such,
has nothing to Jo with it. His duty is to ad'
minister the presentgovernmentas it came to
hands, and to transmit it, unimpaired by mm,
to his'successor. Why should there not be a
patient confidence in tho ultimate justice of the
people. Is thero any better or equal hope in
the world ? In our prosent differences is eith
er party without faith of being in the right.

the frame of tho Government under which
we live, this same people havs wisely given their
pulic servants bullittlo power for mischie., and
have with equal wisdom provided f-r the re
turn of that littlo to their own hands, at very
short intervals. Whilo the people retain th. ir
virtue and vigilance, no administration, by
any extrema ( f wckodn<..-s or folly can very
seriously injure the government in the short
' four years. M y countrymen, one and
, mink calmly and well upon this whole sub
set— nothing valuable can be lost by taking
time. If thorr bo an object to hurry any of
you in hot haste to a step which you would
never take deliberately, that object wu bo frus
trated by taking time, but no good object can
frustrated bv it. Such of you as are now dis
satisfied, still have the oIJ constitution unim
paired, and on tho sensitive point the laws of
vour own framing under it, while the now ad
ministration would have no immediate power
if it wanted to change either. 1f it were ad
mitted that you who are diaaatisiied hold the
right side or the dispute, there still is no single
good reason for precipitate action. Intel-.gence,
patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on
dim who has never yet forsaken this favored
land, are still competent to adjust in the best
wav all our present troubles.
In your hands, my dissatisfied countrymen
and not in mine, is the momentous issue of
civil war. The government will not aasail you.
You can have no conflict without being your
selves the aggressors. You have no oath re
gistered in heaven to destroy tho government,
while 1 shall have the most solemn ono to pre
serve, protect and defend it. I am about to
■we. We are not enemies, but friends. We
must not be enemies. Though passion may
have strained, it must not break our bonds of
affection. The mystic chords of memory
stretching from every battle field and patriot
grave, to every loving heart and hearthstone all
over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus
of the Union, when again touched, as surely as
they will be,by the better aDgels of our nature.
