 Deeply impressed with the truth of

 these observations and under the obl- gation ot that solemn cath which 1 am

 about to take, shall continue to exert all my faculties 10 maintain the just powers ofthe Constilation, and to trans-

 mt ullmpaircd to postorily the bless Ehigs Of our Federal Union. At the same time, 1t will be my aim to incul- cate by ny official acts, the necessity Of exercising. by the General Governr fneht, those powers only that are clearly delegated; to encourage simplicity and economy in the expenditures of the sToEcfniheilt; toraise mo more money

 from the people than may be requisite for those objects, and n manner that will best promote the interests of the community, and of ali portions of thea Union. Constantly bearing in mlnde that, ln entering into society, "lndivlda~ als must give up shafe of liberty topree serve the rest" it will be ny desire so to discharge my duties as to foster, with our brethren in all parts of the counirys "a spirit of liberty, concession and eom~ promise; and, by reeoneiling our fellow.
