INAUGUBAu AU1>?KS8.
The following Is a copy of the Inaugural
Address deli ?ert* I on Wedfl^diy bj Hw.
James Budhanan, on his installation as
President of the United ijtato* for the ensuing
four years:
Fki.LOw Crrr/KNs- : I appear before you
this day to take the selo.nn Oath ''that 1
will faithfully oxouotc the ofl'.eo of I'rvaident
of the Unite I States, and wi,i, to the
best of my ability, preserve, protect and
datY ml the, C nistitutioii oftbc Unifced
f<tatoa."
In out ring upon this great olfioo I must
humbly invoke tho God cf our fathom foi
wis Join and firmness to oxooito its high
and reejsmsibie duties in such a mauuci
a.i to restore harmoojr and aucient friendship
among the peopleof the no er\l Stat is,
and to preserve our fret institution!
throughout many generations. Convinced
that 1 owe my o'oetion to the inherent
ioro for the Con?titut:on and tho Union
which Btill animates the henrt# 0f the
American people, let mo earnestly askfheii
powerful support in sustaining all just measures
calculated to perpetuate these the
richest political blessing* which Ileavn:
has ever bestowed upon any nation, Having
determined not to become a candidate
for rc-olection, I shall have no motive to
influence u?v conduct in administering the
Government except the desire ably and
faithfully to serve my country and to live
in the grateful i ictnory of my countrymen
We ha/o recently passed through a Pro>

our jillow citizens wore excited to -he
highest degree by qu? rtions of deep and vital
iiupoitanoc; l>' f when the pi plo proclaimed

and ah was calm. The voice of the
majority, speaking in themnnnoi prescribe
cd by tho Coustitutioi, war heard, and instant
submission followed Our own eeun*
try oouhl alone havo exhibited so grand
and striking a spectacle of the capacity ol
man tor <?? If government.
What a happy conception, then, was ii
for C.mgrcsa to apply this simple rule?
that the will of the majority shall govcrt
?to the settle rue nt ol' the question of do*
mestic slavery m the Territories! (Jon

therefrom; but to lcavo the people thureo

Territory of Kansas shall bo admitted as j
.State it 1 shall bo received into the T.'nioi
with or without tlavory, as ibcir oonstitu
tion uiay nroseribc at tlio time of their ud
mission.
A difference uf opinion hoa arisen in m
gard to the point of tttno when the! peopl
of u Territory shall decide thisqnestion fo
themselves.
' * Thfc isj*happily, a matter of but ffttl
praoticul importance llosrles, it is a ju
dieial question which legitimately belonfc
to tho Supreme Court of the Cnitod Htufei
before whom it if now peudine, and will
it is understood, be apeodily and finally set

all g .od citizens, T shall obeoi fully (submit

trill bo w icn the number ofactual resident
in the Territory shall justify tho f >ru?a
tion of a constitution with a view to it
admission a.- a Htate into the Union. Hut
he this as it msy. it is the imperative anc
indispensable duty of the Uovcrnment o:
the United Slates to secure to every re?i
dent inhabitant the fice cud independent
expression of his opinion !.v hit? rot? ?
Thus sacred right of each fpdiviJual uia*<
l?e preserved. That being accomplished
nothing can bo fairer than to leave the
pcoplo of a Territory free fVoui ail foreign
intcriurenoe to decide their own destiny
for themselves, subject only to the Constitution
of the United States.
The whole Territorial question boitg
thus settled ojiou the prinoiple of popu!*>
sovereignty?a principle as ancient as free

-lavmy is of far gra\ei importance than la
any mere political question, because,: honld (1
, the agitation continue, it may eventually I a),
ond.xoger tlvo personal safety of a large pi
portion of our countrymen where the in- rt
#tituti<?n exists. Tn that event no form of in
government, however admirable io itself, tr
and however productive of muteiial bone- fo
fits, can compensate tor the loss of peace el
sud domestic aoenrity arouod the family fr
altar. Let oTert Hriion loving man, thottS- tl

this agitation, which, since the recent la- re

mete object. pi
i It is uu evil omen of the times that I V
i' men have undertaken to calculate the J Wi
t j move material value of the Union? Re? i t-r
I sored estimates have been presented ot 11
-1 the pecuniary profit* and local advani
'ages which would result to different 0i
i j State* and section* from its dissolution, , rc
' j and of the comparative injuries which
!such an event would inflict or. other
! States and sections. Even descending *1
to this low and narrow view of the mi- er
jghty question, nil such calculations are i
at fauft. The bavo reference to a sin- j v|
1 gle consideration will be conclusive on i ni
| this point. We at present enjoy a free m
; trade throughout our extensive and ox- c<
. pending countrv such as the world has
never witnewtxf. This trade is eonduc- c
>! ted on railroads and canals, on noble
: rivers and arms of the sen, which bind 01
> j together the North and the }>outh, the 01
; East and the Wost of out Confederacy. 01

progress by the ^co graphical lines ot I hi
( jealous nod hostile States, andyoudos- ai
troy the prosperity and onward march ,r
1 of the whole ami ovcry part, and in vol. | ^
ve ail in one common ruin But such i S(
' considerations, important as they are (^
in themselves, sink into insignificance , a
when we relleet on the t? rrific evils' fc<
' which would result from disunion to!<J
c\crv portion of the Confederacy?to i "
i the North not more than to the South, ^
> to the East not more than to the AY est
These I shall not attempt to portray,
? because 1 i'oel an humble confidence 11
' that the kind Providence which inspir ' 3
i e<l our fathers with wisdom to frame j *
i 1 the most perfect form of government j
. and union ever devised by man will not 1
s! suS'er it to perish until it shall have?
. I boon peacefully instrumental, by its ex-1
c ample, in the extension of civil and re- ] u
14 iigious liberty throughout the world. J 4
i Next in importance to the uiainten* I "
anceof the Constitution and the Union "
I- is the duty of preserving the Govern r
f * r .t? . ? * Ij
nmui ir?T irmu me mini or even mo 1
u .suspicion of corruption. Public virtue \
c is the vital spirit of republics; and his- J
r torv proves that when this has decayed,
and the love of money hr.s usurped its \ '
(T"t place, although the forms of frCe gftf-1 ^
! eminent may retnain for a season, the i
0 substance has departed forever. | ^
, Our prcsont financial condition is , v
without a parallel in history. No na,1
i tion has ever before been embarrassed
, I from too large n minJqvii) it* treasury, '
This almost necessarily gives birth to .
r extravagant legislation. It produces ^
g j nihl SOiiciucS of (iXjMjinlitiiM, uiiu ue- ^
\ I gets a race of speculators and jobbers, .
!. whoso ingenuity is exerted in oontriv- j
. ing and promoting expedients to obtain (
, public money, fhe purity of official
( agents, whether rightfully or wrongful- ^
1 ' ly, is suspected, ami the character of
f i the Government suffers in the estinia- /
. tion of 'he people. This is in itself u
t '"7 ^roat evil.
The natural mode of relief from this ?
i embarrassment is to appropriate the
i surplus in the Treasury to great u.iti- 0
onal objects, frr which a clear warrant j,
i can bo found in the Constitution. Among 0
1 those I might mention the extinguish* g
ment of the nubile debt; a reasonable c.
iucreaeo of the navy, which is at pres- ^
j ent inadequate to the protection of our ! j;
vast tonnage afloat, now greater than a,
i that of any other nation, as well as to ic
. the defence of our cxtouded sea coast. it
It is beyond all question the true prin- w
ciple that no more revenue ought to be 0i
collected from the people than the <p
* amount necessary to defray the expon- M
sea of a wise, economical and efficient hi
administration of the Gorornmont. To
reach this point it was necessary to re- f
, sort to a mollification of the tariff; and gS
this has,' I trust, been accompli shod in 0f
such a manner as to do as little injury to
n$ nmy have been practicable to our do- pi
m of tic manufactures. MiwedkUtr I IT
