Young reader, woman teases as well as

tobacco, we beg to express our opinion of
it in the following language of some poet :
“Tobaeeo is an Indian weed,

It robs your pockets, burns your clothee;
And makes a chimney of tour nose.”

We lay before our renders this remarka

It is Grant unadorned all over. Brief and
non-committal, on all the great questions
that now agitate ihe public mind. IT* 1 fn
vors however, a speedy, peacable adjust
ment of them all, and the restoration of the
whole Union to its former quietude and
piosperity. The only particular'points ,in
his address, are those in-which he alludes
to the Bond question, and the 15th amend
ment to the Constitution. He is strongly
opposed to repudiation of coarse, this is as
every one expected He favors the adop
tion of the 15th amendment by the different
States upon the ground, that unless the
question of suffrage is settled in that
way, it will be a subject of constant agita
tion. The President informs Congress that
he will use his veto powers, to defeat
all legislation he is opposed to. We are
afraid with all the Presidents influence, that
if he attempts to pursue an honest course,
(and we have no doubt but what he will)
he will find that his vetoes like Mr. John
son’s, will not amount to much. The policy
the President proposes in regard to the
Indians we like; this unfortunate race has
been driven from one quarter to auuther,
ever since the foot of tha white man was
planted upon American soil, and if the
President can do anything to christianize
and citizmize them, he ought to receive the
thanks of the whole people.
The President says very little in regard
to the unreconstructed Stares. It is to be
hoped, the Georgia question will be dropped
and that Congress will no longer lisien to
the crazy bowlings of the disappointed fan
atical office seekers who are crying out for
more reconstruction. The address as a
whole will be looked upon favorably
throughout the South, as it shows conclu
sively that Gen. Grant is not tied to the
extreme families.

OF
President Grant,
Washington, March 4. —General Ulysses
Grant was inaugurated President of the
United States, for the term of four \e»rs,
at noon to-day, The following is his
ADDRESS.
Gen. Grant said : “Your suffrages having
elected me to the office o President of the
United States, I have, in confirmation with
the constitution of our country, taken the
oath prescribed therein. I have taken this
oath without mental reservation, and with
the determination to do, to the best of m\
ability, all that it requires of me. The re
sponsibilities of the position I feel, but ac
cept. them without fear. The office has
come to me unsought; I commence its du
ties untrammelled; 1 bring to it a consci
entious desire and determination to fill it to
the best of my ability and to the satisfac
tion of the people. On all leading ques
tions agitating the public mind, 1 wilt al
ways express my views to Congress and
urge them according to my judgment; and
when I think it advisable, will exeicise
the constitutional privilege of int«*posing a
veto to defeat measures which I oppose.
But all laws will be faithfully executed,
whether they meet my approval or not
I shall on this subject, have a policy to re
commend, but none to enforce against the
will of the people. Laws are to govern ali—
those opposed to as well as those who fa
vor them. 1 kuow no method to secure the
repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective
as their stringent execution.
‘■The country having just emerged from
a great rebellion, many questions will come
before it for settlement iu the next four
years which preceding administrations have
never had to deal with. In meeting these,
it is desirable that they should be approach
ed calmly, without prejudice, hate or sec*
tional pride, and remembering that the
greatest good to the greatest number js the
object to be attained. This requires secu
rity of person and property, and for reli
gious and political opinion in every part of
our common country without regard to
local prejudice. AH laws to secure these
ends will receive my best efforts for their
enforcement.
‘A great debt has been contracted in se
curing to us and our proslerity the Union
The payment of this, pricipa! and imerest
at well as' the return tt a specie basis, as
soou as it can be accomplished with out
inerterial detriment to the debtor class or
to the country at large, must be provided
for. To protect the national honor every
dollar-of goverment indebtness should be
paid in gold, unless otherwsse expressly
stipulated in the contract. Let it be under
stood that no repudiator of oue farthing of
our putdie debt will be trusted in public
place, and it will go far towards strenthen
iug a credit which ought to be the best in
the world, and will ultimately enable us
to replace the debt with bonds bearing less
interest than we now pay. To this should
be added a faithful collection of revenue, a
*tict Accountability to the Treasury for
eve! - dollar collected, and the gre test prac
tical' retrenchment in expenditure in every
department of the govennent. When we
compare the paying capacity of the country
nuw, with ten States still in poverty from
the <'flvets of the war, but soon lo emerge
I trust, into greater prosperity than ever
before with ns paying capacity twenty five
years Hg°, and calculate what it probably
will be t weniy-five years hence, who can
doubt the feasibility of paying every dol
lar then with more ease than we now pay
for useless luxuries. Why, it looks as
though providence had bestowed upon us a
strong box in the precious metals locked
up in the sterile mountains of the far West
which we are now forging the key to nn
-1 k to meet the very contingency that i«
now upon us. •Ultimately it nftavbe necefe
s.iry to increase the facilities to ’ ~j
riches; and it may be necess
the general govennent <
to secure this success, butifl

rights of all nations, demanding equal re

this rule, we may be compelled to follotV
their precedent.
“The proper treatment of the original oc
cupants of this land—the Indians—is one
deserving of careful study. I will favor
any course toward them which tends to
their civilization, Ohristianizaiiou aud ulti
mate citizenship.
“The question of suffrage*is one which is
likely to agitate the public, so long as a
portion of the citizens of the nation gave

It suems to me very desirable that this
question should he settled now, aud I enter
tain the hope, and express the desire, that
it may be by the ratification of the fif'teeeih
article of amendment to the Constitution.
“In conclusion, I ask patient forbearence
one toward another, throughout tbe land
and a determined effort on the ptut of ev
ery citizen to do his share towards cement,
ing a happy union. And I ask the prayers
•of (he nation to Almighty God in behalf of
