JEYIPERANCE MEETING AT THE CAPI
TOL.
On the evening of the 24th instant,
A meeting for the promotion of Tempor
ance throughout the United States, was
■held at the Capitol, which was numer
ously attended by members of Cougress,
strangers assembled from various parts
of the country, and citizens of the Dis
trict.
The meeting was called to »rdai by
the Hon. Felix Grundy of the Senate,
Ihe Hon. Lewis Cass, Secretary of War,
was called to the Chair, and, nu motion
of the Hon. Gideon Tomlinson, of Con
necticut, the Hon. John Blair, of Ten
nessee, was chosen Secretary. The
meeting was opened with prayer by the
Rev. Will Hammet, Chaplain to Con
gress. The Chairman of the meeting
then rose and addressed th.t meeting at
•»me length, in a style of great elegance
and power—exhibiting the claims of the
Temperance cause upon the considera
tion of the people of the United States.
This address produced a thrilling effect
upon the audience. >ft was followed by
resolution and an able address by the
IWv. Dr. Edwards, Corresponding Se
cretary of the American Temperance
Society T after which resolutions were
offered and addresses deli voted by the
following gentlemen:
Honorable Mr. Cook, of Ohio, Hon
orable Mr. Briggs, of Massachusetts, Dr.
Sewall, of Washington, Honorable Lew

Mr. Stewart, of Peensylvania, Hon. Mr.
Wilkins, of Pennsylvania, Honorable

prominent point*, upeo which the T®<n
petauce cause bears, and t|ie addresses.
were such as held the audience in pro
found attention for more than three
hours. The exercises were closed py
some brief but pertinent and forcible re

There has probably never been a Tem

equal interest, or mote calculated to ad
vance the cause. In a f < -* v days the teso-.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS
Os the President of the United States.
Washington City, 4th March, 1833.
Fellow Citizens >•
The will «>f the American people,
expressed thiough their unsolicited suf
frages,-calls-me before you to through
the solemnities preparatory to taking up
on myself the duties of President of the
United States, for another term. For
their approbation -of my ptfblrc conduct,
through a period which has not been with
out its difficulties and for this renewed
expresamn -of their confidence in my 'good
intentions, I am at a loss for terms ade
quate to the expression of my gratitude.
It shall be displayed, to the extent of my
humble abilities, in continued efforts so
to admiui* er the Government, as to pre
serve their liberty and promote their hap
piness.
So many events have -occurred within
the last four years, which have necessa
rily called forth, sometimes under cit
cumstances the m ist de!ica r e and pain
ful, my views of the principles and poli
cy which ought to be pursued by the
General Government, tli.it 1 need, »>n
this occasion, but allude to.a few leading
considerations, connected with some of
them.
Tire foreign policy adapted by wur
Government soon after the formation ®f
our present Constitution, and very gene
rally pursued by successive administra
tions, has been crowned with almost com
plete success, and bus elevated our char
acter among tiie uatiutts of the earth.
To do justice to all, and submit to wrong
from none, bas been, during my adminis
tration, it governing maxim ; and so hap
py has been its insults, that we are not
only at peace with ail the world, bu>.
have few causes of controversy, and those
of mioor importance, remaining unad
justed.
In the domestic policy of ibis Govern
ment there are two objects which especi
ally deserve the attention of the people
and their Representatives, and which have
been, and will continue to be, the subjects
<ff my increasing solicitude. Thfcy are the
preservation of the rights of tiie several
States, and the integrity of the Union.
These great objec<s are neces>aiiiy con
nected, and can oily be attained bv an
enlightened exorcise of the powers of each
within its appropnate sphere, in coufor
mity w i ll the public will coosiitu ionaliy
expressed. To this end, it becomes the
duty of all tu yield a ready and patriotic
submission to the laws constitutionally
enacted, nnd thereby promote and
streughicn a proper confidence in
th«se institutions of the several States
and of the United Sta?bs which the peo
ple themselves have ordained for their
own g' vernment.
My experience in public concerns,and
the observation «f aTifo somewhat advan
ced, confirm the opinions long since ini'*
bibed by me, that the destruction of' our
State governments or the annihilation of
their control over the local concerns of
the people, would lead direedy to revo
lution and anarchy, and final y to despot
ism and millitary domination. In pro
portion, therefore, as the general govern
ment encroaches upon the rights of- the
States, in the same proportion does it im
pair its own power and detiac l ft m its
ability to fulfil the purposes of is creation
Solemnly impressed with these consider
ations, my countrymen will ever find
me ready to exetciso my constitutional
power in arresting measures which may
directly or indirectly encroach upon the
rights of the Stacifs, or tend to consolidate
all political power in the General Gov
ernment; But of equal, aod indeed of
incalculable importance is the union of
these States, & the sacred duty ol all to
contribute t > its preservation by a liber
al support of the General Government
in the exercise of its just powers. You
have been wisely admonished to “accus
tom yourselves to thiuk and speak of the
Union as of the palladium of your politi
cal safely and prosperity, watching for its
preservation with jealous anxiety, dis
countenancing whatever may suggest even
a suspicion that it can in any event be a
bandoned, and indignantly frowning upon
the first dawning of any attempt to alie
nate any portion-of our country from the
rest, or to enfeeble itie sacred ties which
®°* *'t n ß«ther the various parts.’*
Withont oni..n f, or independence and
liberty would never have been achieved,
without union ihey C 8„ Dever be
maintained. Divided into twenty-four,
or even a smaller number of separate
communities, we shall see our internal
trade burdened with numberless restraints
and enactions ; communication between
distant points and aectioas obstructed, or
cut off; our son* made soldiers to deluge
with bluod the field* they now till
peace; the mass of our people borne
down and impoverished by taxes to sup
port armies and navies; end military
leaders «t the bead of th»ir victorious™*
JVoqs becoming our law-given and judges.
—The loss of liberty, of all good gov
ernment, of peace, plenty and happiness,
must inevitably follow * dissolution of the
Union. In supporting if, therefore, we
support all that is deer tu the freeman and
the philanthropist.
Tho time ?t which I stand before you
'S full of interest. The eyes of all ua
tions are fixed on our republic. The e
vent of die existing crisis will be decisive
in the opinion of mankind «>f the practica
bility of our federal system of govern
ment. Great is die stake placed, in our
hands; great is tho responsibility which
must rest upon die people of the United
States. %jet us realise die importance of
the attitude in which we stand before the
world. ’Let us exercise forbearance and
firmness. Let us extricate our country
from t'be dangers which surround it, and
learn wisdom from the lessons they incul
cate.
Deepfy impressed with tho truth of
these observations and under tho obliga
tion of that solemn oath which 1 am about
to take, I shall continue :o exert all my
faculties to maintaii the just - powers of
the Constitution, and to transmit unim
paired to posterity the blessings of our
federal Union. At the same time, ; l will
"be my aim to inculcate by ntv official acts,
the necessity of exercising, by the Gene
ral Government, those powers only vhat
are clearly delegated; to encoutage sim
plicity and economy in the expendi
tures of die Government; to raise no
more money from the ; eople than may be
requisite for these objects, and in a man
ner that willbest pro more the interests of
all classes of the contmuni'y, and of ai)
portions of the Union. Constantly beat
ing in mind that, in entering into society
“indi iduaJs must give up a share of lib
erty to preserve the rest,” it will be my
desire so to discharge my duties as to fos
ter, with ot»r brethren in all parts of the
country, a spirit of liberal concession nnd
compromise; and, by reconciling our fel
low-citizens to those partial sacrifices
which they must unavoidably make, for
the preservation of a greater good, to re
Commend our invaluable Government and
Union to the confidence and affections of
the Americampeople.
Finally, it is my most fervent prayer,
to that Almighty Being before whom I
now stand, and who has kept 119 in his
hands from the infancy of our Republic
to the present day, that he will so over
rule all my inventions and actions, and in
spire the hearts of my fellow citizens,
that we may be preserved fiom dangeis
of all kinds, and continue forever n U
n:ted and happy people.
* TIIE GOLD.
The Charlotte N‘>rh Carolina -Journ
al states that a mine has lately been open
ed by Capt, J hn Penmin, 22 miles east
of Charlotte, the ore of which is very
good, and appears to be inexhaustible.
He grinds about 6 bushels pur day in the
Chilian Mill, which yields about $lO per
bushel, lin will soon have a set of th*
Tyrolese Mills in operating, and calcu
lates that the ore will then yield 17 uvts.
pure gold pet bushel.
Tbe same p iper lays, that on the 24 h
ult. Mr. Phifer, living 8 miles east from
Charlotte, with the assistance of two of
his sons obtained from the ore 12000
dwt* of pure gold—the ore being so rich
as o yield about 25 dwts, to the quart.
The beauty of Virtue.—The following
fine reflection Is to be found in the Life
of Lo'd Herbert, of Cherburg.
“Leery body loves the virtuous,where
as the vicious doicarce love one ano

bian happily observed, that he learned
virtue from the bad, for their Wickedness
inspired him with a distaste o vice.
FrOm the Charleston Courier. March 8.
The Pic Nic —An elegant entertain
raent was given yesterday, b a number
of the citizens of Charleston, under the
patronage of the Ladies, in honor of ..he
Military & Naval Offi ers on this station,
at Belvidere, a beautiful country seat or
villa, oil Cooper River, ab >ut three miles
from the city, formerly the residence of
the late Col. Shubrick, and now in the
occupation of Dr. Joseph John3>N, who
politely tendered it for the occasion. The
company began to assemble about 12 o'
clock, and bad generally arrived by 2 o’-
clock P. M. The greater proportion of
the company were conveyed in carriages,
bin many of them on the United States
steam boat, which conveyed their Military
and "Naval Guests to the festive scene.
The number who partook of the fete,was
estimated at about 1200. Among the
guests were Major Geu. Scott, Col
Bankhead, and Major Heimsman, of the
Atmy,& commadoie Elliott,Capo Zaiit
zinger, and Capt. Merving, of the Navy.
The spectacle was one of uncommon in
terest and attraction—where beauty and
fashion, elegance and lasie presided, and
paid a grateful tribute to valor and worth.
The splendid Mansion, at Belvidere, was
thrown open for the recep’ion of the
throng,and its spacious rooms were decor
ated for the occasion,with various nation
al and other Hags, tastefully interspread
with wreaths of evergreeus and flowers.
Marquees were placed at intervals about
the grounds, whence the bugle occasion
ally sent forth its martial and spirit stir
ring notes. The repast, composed of
viands and choice wines, wa- served up
tioder a canopy partially formed by the
wide-spread branches of emboweling
oaks. .Bands of martial and other music
were in attendance, and dancing, both in
tire house, and on the fawn in from of the
mansion, was kept up throughout the day.
The ladies promenading through the
broad avenues and adjacent grounds gave
thorn quite a picluersque and animated ap
pearance. Toward* evening a fancy lot
,6T y was drawn, in which the ladies a
loae artro allowed to be competitor, and
which, in its capricious distribution of
prizes, constituted a Source of much a-1
musement. During the day the U. S.
: Schoener Experiment hansomely decor
ated with national and igs and was
anchored in the river, immediately oppo
site the villa. The day, although at first
cloudy and threatening, turned out very
pleasant, and was occasionally enlivened
by gleams of snnshine. The company
broke up late in the evening, having pass
ed a day of social enjoyment and unallo
yed festivity:
From the Correspond, of the Charleston Courier.
Washington, March 1.
“Two important Acts—one tnodifyifig
tha Tariff, and the other to provide fur
ther for the Collection of the Saties on
Imports (die Ens rcirig Bill)—want now
nothing more than the signature of the
President to become Laws of the Land.
It is sspposed that the Lands Bill
may also pass, as it has been a
fnfeoded by tbe
congratulation that discussions on those
great measures h ave not so far transcen
ded the rules of order, as there was rea
son to apprehend* A midnight session
cannot be expected to have that appear
ance of regularly which marks the pro
ceedings of the Legislature at noonday.
There was some warm discussion, in
which Mr. Foster, Mr. M’duffie, and
Genaral Bi.jur, distinguished themselves
—the- two former in opposition to the En
forcing Bill, and the latter in favor of it.
The immense majority by which the bill
was passed, is proof crrndrisive that the
General will the sustained, whenever
any of the States shall commit the weak
ness, of which the Siam of South Caruli
na has been guilty; and will, it is hoped,
hive a good effect in tranquilifting the
country. [The following was the sta e
of the vote in the House of Representa
tives on the Enforcing Bill—Ayes 149,
Noes 47-]
I find that the Presiden’ has not call
ed together the new Senate, fi is there
fore presumed that there wii! be no chan
ges in iu the important offices of the
Government: as it would be altogether
unprecedented for any Executive .0 dis
pense wi h the advice and consent of his
constitutional connseHers on the com
ttfencement of his term. General Jack-
Son, I should suppose, would scarcely
take any step to new model bis cabinet,
without first of all consulting the Senate.
Possibly hp does not intend to have any
public inauguration. There is a rhmnur
floating abroad to that effect, but ! do uot
learn to what degree of credit i' may be
entitled. VVe are so full of rumors, that
I know not what sou cis one half of
them can be traced to.
** This has boon a most important dav.
Since I commenced this let'er, the House
of Representatives has passed the Bill to
appropriate, for a limited term, the pro
ceeds of tbe Public Lands, with an a
mendment refering it to the legislatures
to apply their several portions of the pro
ceeds in what way they please, and of
course striking out the objects which were
specified by thp bill, as it went from the
Senate. About 10 or half past 10 o’clock,
this evening, the b II as amended, came
up to tho Senate, and in the course of
about 20 minutes, the amendment was
concurred in, aud the Bill was thus pass
ed. The vote in the Senate on concur
ring in the amendment was 22 to 6. and
at 11 o’clock the Senate adjourned.
“ The General Appropriation Bill, on
thd passage of which depends the action
and existence of the Government, has Rot
yet passed, and the Clerks in the Public
Offices are driven to every ingenious and
costly resort, to raise the funds necessary
to Support life. There are also other
money bills w tiling for final legislation.
I suppose that nil these matters will be
got through to-day, so that when the
House shall meet to murhuv, they will
have nothing more to do than to exchange
the customary compliments, make their
bow, and quit the splendid Halls where
(hey have spent their days, and some of
their nights, for tho last three months.
“ There have been seveial Indian
Treaties ratified within the las' 3 days,
and owing to blunders in spelling some of
the Indian names, it was found oecessEry
last night to pass through all its stages, a
Joint Resolution te authorize the Secre
tary of War to correct mistakes, so that
the money may not be paid to men whose
names do not correspond with those in
the tree v- Mr. Leavitt Harris is confir
med as Charge to Franre, and Henry
ToJaud, who made the Report favorable
to tbe United States Bank, is confirmed
as Navy Agent in Philadelphia.”
