ADDRESS <3F JT-KE PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES. «. X March 4, >833. T®! LttW-CfTIZENS: Thewttl of the American people, expressed Through their unsolicited suffrages, calls me ibefore you to pass through the solemnities pre paratory to taking upon myself the duties of (President of the United States for another term. IFor their approbation of my public con uluct, through a.period which has not been witn out its difficulties, and lor this renewed expres sion of their confidence in iny good intentions, -1 am at a loss for terms adequate to the expies sion ofinv gratitude. It shall be displayed, to the extent di my humble abilities, in continued efforts so to administer (he Government, as to pieserve thtsir rrLeriy*a.nd*|Homofe their liappi-J Bess. “*■ ’ , •i • i So many events have occurred within the last four years, which have necessarily called forth, sometimes under circumstances the most delicate and painful, my views of the principles and policy which ought to bo pursued by the ’General 'Government, that I need, on this oc casion, but allude to a few leading considera tions connected with some of them. . The foreign policy adopted by our Govern ment soon after the formation of our present -Couslitiijion; and. very generally pursued by. successive administration, has been crowned ; with complete success, and has elevated I ■our character among tire nations of the earth. , To do justice to all, and submit to wrong from none, bus been during my administration, its : governing maxim; and so happy has been its results, that we arc not only at peace with all the woifd, but have few causes of controversy, ) and those of minor importance, remaining uu adjusted. In the domestic policy of this government, there are two objects which especially deserve the attention of tlie people and their Represen tatives,‘and which have lieenf and will con- : tinue to be the subjects of my increasing solid tude. They are the preservation of the rights of the several States, and the integrity of the ; Union. These great objects are necessarily connect ed and can only be attained by an enlightened exercise of the powers of each within its ap-j propriat'e sphere, in conformity with die pub- , lie will' constitutionally expressed. I o this end, it becomes the duty of all to yield a ready i and patriotic submission to the laws constitu- < tionally enacted, and thereby promote and strengthen a proper confidence in those institu- j lions of the several States and of the United ; States, which the people themselves have or- < dained for their own goveiament. . My experience in public concerns, and the observation of a life somewhat advanced, con liim the opinions long since imbibed by me, that the* des l ruction of our State Government or the annihilation ofiheir control over the lo cal < <’m,eins of the people, would lead dnecily to revolution and anarchy, and finally to des potism and military domination. In propor tion, therefore as the general government en croaches upon the rights ot the States, in the same proportion does it impair its own power and detract from its ability to fulfil the purposes of its creation. Solemnly impressed with these -considerations, my countrymen will ever find me ready to exercise my constitu tional powets in arresting measures which may directly or indirectly encroach upon the rights of the States, or tend to consolidate all political, power in the General Government. '• But of ftqual, and indeed of incalculable impor tance is the Union of these. States, and the sa- ■ cred duty of all to contribute to its preservation bv a liberal support of the General Govern ment in the exercise of its just powers. — You ' have been wisely admonished to “accus „ tom yotjjselvcs to think and speak of the Union T* ’ of your political safety and P °-P . T"""’ « tbr its preservation with jealous anxiety, discMn,._r ,. n<r whatever ' may suggest even a suspicion that it can any event be abandoned, and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of any attempt to alienate any portion of inr country from the res., qf to enfeeble the sacred ties which now Jink togeiher the various parts.” Without Union our independence and liberty would never have been achieved—-without Union they can never be maintained. Divided into twenty-four or even a smaller number of se parate communities, we shall see our internal trade burdened with numberless restraints and exactions; communication between distant points and sections obstructed or cut of}’, our sons ttyide soldiers to deluge with blood the fields they now till with petice; the mass of our people,borne doxVn and impoverished by taxes, to armies and navies; and military leaders at the head of their victorious legions becoming our l.’.w-givers and judges. The loss of ’iberty, of .ill good government, of peace, " p y and happiness, must inevitably follow a c u'ion of tlie Union. In supporting it, ’nt- fore, we support all that is dear to the eema'n and philanthrophist. The time nt which I stand before you is full Os interest. The eyes of all nations are fixed on our republic. The event of the existing crisis will be decisive in the opinion of mankind of the practicability of our federal system ol government. Great is the stake placed in our hands;. great is the responsibility which must test ufion 'he people of the United States. Let us iodize the importance of the altitude in which we stand before ihe world. Let us ex tricate our country from the dangers which surround it, and learn wisdom from the lessons they inculcate.. Deeply impressed with the truth of these ob servations, and under the obligation of that -tolemn , oath which I am about to take, 1 shall continue to exert all my faculties to maintain the just poweis of the Constitution and trans not unimpaired to poster ity the blessings of our federal Union. At the same time, it will be I niv airri to inculcate by my official acts, the ne- ; cesdtv of exercising, bv the General Govern- ' n>enl, those powers only that are clearly’ dele gated; to encourage simplicity and economy in the expend) ores of the Government; to raise co nibre money from the people than may bo‘ requisite for these opjects, and in a manner that will best promote die interests of all classes of the community, of all portions of tho Union. Constantly bearing in mind that in entering in to society “individuals must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest,” it will be my de sire so to discharge my duties as to foster, with our brethren in all parts of the countiy, a spirit of liberal concession and compromise; and by reconciling our fellow-citizens to those partial sacrifices which they must unavoidably make, for the pieservation of greater good, to recom mend out invaluable Government and Union, to tho confidence and affections of the Ameri can people. Finally, it is my most fervent prayer, to that Almighty Being before whom I now stand, and] who has kept us in his hands from the infancy) of our republic to the present day, that he will I so overrule all my intentions and actions, and ! inspire the hearts of my fellow-citizens, that i we may be preserved from dangers of all kinds and continue forever a UN ITED AND HAP PY PEOPLE. JOHN RANDOLPH. The following spirited description of Mr. 1 Randolph is given in a letter from Virginia to the Editor of the N. JI. Patiiot. “ While speaking, he stands quite erect.—' 1 His gestures are few, but never fail of their es- | feet.—lu some orators, the rise to enthusiasm i . is indicated by an increase ofgesticula>ion, and > a more rapid and confused utterance. Not so with him. The eyes of his auditory are not diverted by any uncalled for gesture or osten tations shifting of attitudes. The light of bis black eyes seems concentrated to a burning locus, which it is sometimes painful to encoun ter, and yet it is impossible to get away from the charming serpent. Like those in love, his hearers feci their bonds, yet would not be free. “In the very torrent and whirlwind of his pas sion,” his composure is greatest, and his enun ciation must deliberate and distinct. I have • heard some oiators, whose words in conse- ! quence of a defective movement of the organs of pronunciation, seemed to be obtruded and lacerated in their delivery. But his have a ' free full and bona fide discharge. All that is ■ musical in modulation, distinct in utterance, ) appropriate in emphasis, felicitous in thought, and energetic in expression, plant his words in the ear with an effect that defies the power of criticism; and they fall too on ihe tympanum, with that sort of ringing which like new eagles from tlie mint, shows the metal to be sterling and the coinage masterly. While under the spell of his enchantment, so completely is one satisfied, that all idea of any thing nearer to pei faction than himself, are either held in abey ance or entirely expelled the mind. There is the peculiarity about his shrill and piercing voice, that his words can oe accurately distin guished as far as their sound can be heard; and eacli man in the crowd conceives his own pro per ear to be the target at which are aimed the unerring bullets ot his rhetoric. In fighting, no matter what may be the size of his antagonist, there is no adaptation ot his bolts to the dimen sions of the objects to be demolished; but like the lightning of heaven which finds it as easy to shatter an oak as consume a reed, the Hash comes burying in one common grave, the pig my and the giant. In witnessing encounters of this sort, 1 have frequently wished, with the love ot slaughter natural to some, that bis vic tims possessed more recuperative energy, that the period of demolition might be longer pro tracted. It is true he has handled some, who ! like Goldsmith’s village schoolmaster, “though conquered, could argue still,” but this reaction was little more than sub suit us tendimun of ex piring nature. He sometimes, however, by way of “good measure,” continues to gore them after they are utterly defunct; but I could never look with much satisfaction upon h:s mangling of a dead body or dragging a dead Hector around the walls of Troy. ' “In private life there is no telling what he is. He is not a subject of ordinary speculation. Hq almgelher, a splendid anomaly, an unique, a sin generis, Casar aut nutlus, a lus sus natures,i\ great man with many littlenesses, “of different natuies, marvellously mixed con nection, exquisite of distant worlds.” lie is the veriest riddle to his dearest friends.— Sometimes he is fond of men of parts, some times in rapture with those of no points.— Sometimes he secs what is not to be seen,* again, cannot discover what is ever so plain. At one time lie astounds his friends by rude ness, at another surprises his enemy by kind ness. Fearing no one in the world, he makes all the world fear him. “Ho is an ardent admirer of ladies, horses, and dogs, but does not know to which he gives the preference, so equally is his esteem decid ed among them. In his household he is plain but neu' to Eastern scrupulosity—drinks coffee and wine, no milk—-smokes sugars, and some ’ times pipes; chews tea for tobacco; al others, snuff, and detests whiskey. ’For optics sharp it takes I ween, To sec what is not to be seen.

In that almost insulted part of the state of Masschusetts, called Old county or Plymouth j county, and particularly in a small village ad- ) . joining the shire town, there may be found the I I relics of many old customs and superstitions, which would be amusing at least to the anti quary. Among others ot less serious cast, there 1 was fifteen years ago, one which, on account of ) its peculiarity and its consequence 1 beg leave to mention. j It is well known to those who are acquainted with that section of country, that nearly one half of its inhabitants die of a consumption, oc casioned by a chilly humidity of their atmos phere, and the long prevalence of Easterly winds. The inhabitants of the village, or our town, as it is there called, to which I allude, were peculiarly exposed to this scourge and 1 have seen at one time, one in every silty ot its inhabitants gliding down to tho grave with all i tho certainty which characterizes this insiduous ■ ; foe of the human family. i There was, fifteen years ago, and is perhaps, . ' at this time, an opinion prevalent among the in ! habitants of that town, that a body ol a person ! who had died of consumption was, by some su pernatural means, nourished in the grave from tho body of some one living member of the fam ily, and that during the life ol this person, the body retained in the grave all the fullness and freshness of life and health. This belief was strengthened by the circum stance that whole families frequently fell a prey to this terrible disease. Os one large family in this town, consisting of fourteen children, and their venerable parents, the mother and the youngest son only remained—the rest within a year of each other had died of the consump tion. Within two months of the death of the thir teenth child, an amiable girl of about sixteen years of age, the bloom of which charncteiised the whole family was seen io fade from the cheek of the last support of the heat t-smitten mother, and his broad flat chest was occasion ally convulsed by that powerful deep-toned i cough which attends the consumption in our I Atlantic States. ) At this time, as if to snatch one of this family from an onrly grave, it was resolved by a few I of the inlabitants of the vdlege to test the truth . of this tradition which I have mentioned, and • which the circumstances of this afflicted family 1 seemed t> confirm. I should have added that it was believed that if the body, thus unnatural ’ j ly nourished in the grave, should be raised and 1 i turned over in the coffin, its depredations tip -1 on tho strvivor would necessarily cease. The consent >f the mother being obtained, it was ! agreed that four persons, attended by the sur ’ viving and complaining brother, should at sun rise the next day dig up the remains of the last ’ buried sister. At the appointed hour they at- • | tended n the burying yard, and having with much eccrtion removed the earth, they raised ' the cofin, and placed it upon the ground ; then • displaced the flat lid, they lifted the covering 1 I from Inr face and discovered what they had in ’ < <leed.aiticipated, but dreaded to declare—yes, > I saw he visage of one who bad been long the tenant of a silent grave, lit up with the brilllan- ' c y of jouthful health. The cheek was full of ! dimpliig, and the rich profusion of hair shaded her cold forehead, while some of her richest ‘ J curls foated upon her unconscious breast. Tlie large j|ue eye had scarcely lost its brilliancy, ■ and tlie living fulluc’s of her lips seemed almost to say, “loose me and let me go.” In two weeks the brother, shocked with the ’ , specticle he had witnessed, sunk under his dis ease. The mother survived scarcely a year, > and tie long range of sixteen graves is pointed ’ out t> the stranger as'an evidence of the truth I ofihr- belief of the inhabitants. 1 'Fhe following lines were written on a recol- ‘ lection of 'he above shocking scene : I saw her, the grave sheet was round her, 1 Months had passed since they laid her in clay, Yet the damps ot the tomb could not wound her, The worms bad not seized on their prey, O, far was the cheek, as I knew it, When the rose all its colors there broutrhf, 1 . ° And that eye—did a tear then bedew it ’ It gleamed like the herald of thought. i Sho bloomed, tho’ the shroud was around her, Her locks o’er her cold bosom waved, J As if the stern monarch had crown’d her, The fair, speechless qtlecn of the grave. i . But what lends the grave such a luster? ! O'er her cheek what such beauty had shed ’ His lifeblood, who knelt there had nursed ber, The living was food for the dcadf A belief of judicial astrology has been more 1 or less prevalent in every part nfthe civilized world: and though this belief may have been popular only in proportion to the ignorance of the mass of the people, yet it will be acknowl edged, by all who arc acquainted with the events of the passed century, that though the ignorant may have been misled by the jargon of their su periors, yet the most learned, at times, were not ; only deceived by the imposing operations of the *1» - • adepts bul were even dupes to tTieir own ima ginary acquirements. - In few places has this confidence been more general and implicit than in the old colony. A very large proportion of tho inhabitants of that section of our country are seamen a class of people remarkably tenacious ofeaily opin ions, and proverbially superstitious. Whatever may be the nature of any popular belief, if there is not some special circumstance to give it authenticity, its influence is-soon lost upon the minds of those who were most ready to receive'it—it ceases to affect their actions, and is only brought to remembrance by some pe 'culirfr coincidence of circumstances. This may be the case ar (he present day with many of those superstitions which once agitated the minds, and influenced the actions of the old col onists; but the belief in judicial astrology will never be entirely lost from among them, while their is one alive who witnessed the event which I am about to relate. Late in the last century, the Rev. Doctor S , the clergyman of one of the three towns that lie on Plymouth Bay, had acquired the awe ■ I of his parisliioneis by his deep skill in the oc-| i cult sciences, not less than their love and es- i i teem by the purity of his doctrine and the ex-j cellence of his example. He had calculated j the nativity of very many of his congregation, and as the men were mostly “those who go down I into ihe sea in ships” he could not often fail when he predicted with a solemnity which show )ed his own confidence in bis art and demanded theirs, that they must ultimately find a watery grave. Fully persuaded of his own power, the rev erend man was induced to calculate the extent of his own life. This was a matter ot no small moment, and the good man was ollen seen at night by the neighboring fi-iierman as i cending a hill in the neighborhood to “hold | high conversation with the stars.” The result | of his calculation was not long a secret, for j i though he had confidently entrusted the matter I only to his two deacons, they have found means to divest themselves of the more weighty pari of the secret, by hinting at a definite time, be yond which they might not expect the profit of the good man’s labors. It was, ot course, soon noised through the town, that on the morning of the sih July, 1795, he would, according tq his own prediction, most assuredly be relieved from all the wait of earthly cares, and sorrows. j The whole of the week preceding the day he had marked as the termination of his earthly , career, the pious man devoted to exhorting, di j reeling, and comforting, those who had long , looked up to him as a temporal as well as spir itual guide. Early on the morning of the fatal i , Sunday, apparently dreaded by ail more than ) himself, the oldest and most respectable of his I parishioners assembled to await the result of he - awful prediction. • Eighfo’clock was the hour i ■ which the Doctor had marked as the last of his I! existence, and to convince them ot bis confi i : deuce in bis own art, be assured them that he i ) had prepared no sermon for the day, and that i he had set his bouse in order, in full persuasion ! “he must die, and not live.” He had finished a most pathetic prayer, when i the hand of the clock indicated eight: the com ! pany stood in breathless anticipation—no change i however took place—lns pulse was regular, and no unusual sensation intimated even the distant approach of death ; at length the Doctor ob served, that although he had been extremely . careful in his calculation, yet he believed that die might have made an error in regard to time, to detect which he proposed examining his books. He accordingly rose to take them from a high projecting shelf, when the stool on which > he stood, turning suddenly forward, threw him . backward upon his head—he broke bis neck . and expired immediately, without uttering a t ; single word. Since that unhappy affair, judicial astrology i ) although held in the highest estimation and rev- I erence by the inhabitants has been so dreaded i that it lias fallen into total disuse. A large ; j slate slab, erected at the head of his grave, bears . the age and character of the worthy clergyman, r and tells in a few words, the wonderful circum- > stances attending his death. We received too late for insertion to-day, the I orders of the President to the Land and Naval Forces of the United States at and near Charles- > ton. We regret it, but they shall appear next r i week. 1 As we expected, they were intended for the ■ sole purpose of enabling the executive to enforce . the revenue laws upon individuals, and not with j lheslightest intention of making war upon South I Carolina. I or the very respectful an I delicate manner ; in which they refer to South Carolina and her I public authorities, the orders will best sjHtak for i themselves.— Standard of Union.
