aaccompanied by murmur or a tnougnl our
IS nlacid satisfaction, resigning the re'hs oi
-..rsynment '. into the hands OF his successor.
Pic calm and dignihed ceremony OF invest
;,g the President in the duties OF his ONCE,
syes our attention. No tinsel-no glitter
nnth;np to strike the mob with wonder, or
dazzle with its pomp, but plain and unaiiec-
ted such as is worthy the mind OF a Legis-
iato, and the head OF a powerful Republic.
,rbe election OF Mr.. Adams to the Presiden-
-, now that the hostile feelings of the par
,;ss have become softened within reasonable
tonnds. seems to give general satisfaction
We know not what may be his policy, but
f,om his declaration on taking the oath OF
nf;cc il would seem that he intended to mo-
del it aftcrthat of his predecessor, and II SO
The Republic will have nothing to regret
trcm his appointment to the Presidential
chair.


His inaugural speech is beautiful spe-
fimcn of composition, chastc and eloquent,
+ is an admirable expose of the rise, pro
rress, and prospective hopes OF the young
Republic. He indulges in no vain Boosting,
in no irritating allusions--but applies HIM
self to the elucidation OF the various topics
in the spirit Of philosopher and an ndepen-
dent citizen. Nothing can be more eloquent
than his summary of the astonishing pro-
qress OF the Republic since the declaration
of Independence; and his history OF the
two great parties that tomcriy existed IN
the country is touched upon with the utmost
,]elcacy and far removed from any thing ot
partisan or partial feeling. Their political
creed-the interests OF the various Govern
mcnts in the Unon--and the policy OF his
venerable predecessor, are subjects also
beautifully illustrated.


Such is the character OF this document
that has introduced Mr.. Adams to his coun-
trymcn, and to the world, as President OF
the United States Of America, containing, as
it does, an exposition Of his principles and
feelings, and pledge OF the system OF Gov
crnment it is his purpose to pursue. What
a contrast does it exhibit TO the pulling and
miserable strains that so often issue from
the Courts Of Princes!


Mr.. Adams has now attained the sum
nit of his wishes, and on that Chair, where
first was seated the Father of the Republic


the Immortal ashington-and which
has been successfully flied by Adams, and
Jefferson, and Madison, and Monroe--vcn-
cradle individuals who yet live to receive
the blessings Of their countrymen, he ha,
been called to preside and guard over the
liberties of the United States.


Ardently and fcrvently we pray that the,
may be never placed in jeopardy. 10 A
mcrca we have been taught to look as tt
the common home Of our species, where thu
oppressed and the prosecuted could eve,
find safeguard and shelter. And long
and long indeed, may she be SO characters
zed and 50 distinguished, And resting upol
her independence and secure within he
equality of rights and privileges, lasting an'
firm shall be her duration, while the effort
and the Vaccinations of dcspots shall sinl
and dwndlc into nothingncss.
