Tlic Inaugural. ; , We this week conclude (he publica tion of this piece of bombast. W£ ’ leave it without comment to the judg ment of our readers*. It is iauded-CX ceedirigly, by some of the devoted par-” lisa ns of its author, which is no more than was expected. We copy softie brief remarks in relation to the inauga-, nil, from two whig papers, the New York Herald and Boston Courier, which were both staunch supporters of Harrison. The Courier says: w lVe should have been better pleas ed with iho address, if the President had omitted all, —yes all, —ihrtt he has introduced about Greece and Rome, arid Switzerland, and all other ancient or modern governments and Countries, except oUr own. There are two col unrins of this superfluous matter —not. of U character to arouse opposition or to encourage prrifeuiice, or to provoke lidicrjA* ; but, to u|P a common phrase, ! lugged in by the head $/ ehbuldiffyJn J excessively trail taste—enforcing noth ; ing, illustrating nothing, proving noth ing. Asa literary composition, we j confess wu are sadly disappointed in the address. It is no better thfirt flMfre other public documents, with wWfch our whig critics have made themselves ’ merry* If he had said nothing U aft what was pevthtettt to the occashui, without at tempting,rhetorical flourishes he would have given a few grains of wheat without these five bushels of chaff. But, after ijili, as there are some hungry enough to feed on chaff, it was perhaps a privident disposition in the old General that induced him so futniish so liberal a supply of this -e^rAiwjn 1 *<wrmiu w, j ", “ioi ■ mi* with the srnair quantify of wheat.” The Herald says: The address is one of the most une venly composed & written documents that ever came from (he brain or pen of a public functionary. Parts of it are most trashy. The best parts of it contains some of the soundest and purest doctrines that were ever con ceived; but they are very, very ltrd to live up to. Many other parts are unworthy the tyi e ai eoHege or his first attempt at composition. Every definite statement in the ad dress might have been given in one | fourth tbe space which the message | occupies. There are too many words; it deals too much m> generalities. There is too much said about nothing. The remarks about one teim were ail unnecessary, that point was in the con. ! tract; those relative to the interfer ! ence of cilice holders in elections are just,and ju6t what they should be. But in relation to the veto and execu tive power there is too much twattle; all the points could have been given in adozen lines. The nonsense about “an exclusive metallic currency,’ is a crotchet of his own bruin a sort of shuttlecock which he stuck up and knocked down for amusement three times rn one para graph. The remark* about the Dis trict of Columbia are miserably writ ten; the sentences are involved, com- j plicated and tortuous, they way bt constructed to mean any thing or i ■ nothing. The balderda&b about Oliver | Cromwell, Ca?sar and Bolivar, will | elevate the President in the eye 6 of, Ino one. lie does not understand the ! character of e4bVr Theclurns) allusions of Greece and i Rome, repealed again and again,may |be thought classic by some,but it will be difficult to prove them so,- ’ As to the statement about no repub • lie ever merging into aristocracy,Gen. //urrhon ought to have read the histo- j ry of Venice, and one or two republics we could name, before he made the sweeping assertion we find in his roes sage. The miie* able manner in which the subject ol abolition, and especially the subject of our foreign relations are slurred over r i* sufficient to stamp tbe mauguml with reproach from all. jfvrlAc Pioneer. !

I TEMPERAMENT. i The Editor of the Geoigia Jeffer sonian, in a vein of blended tiuth and good hutnor, says— “in regard to the difficulties which have Artely sprung up, between Great Britain and the United States,there appears to be two *trong parties in this country, not altogether dofvned by the eardhmf demarcation, Whrgor Democrat,Hot rather by the prenoiogi cal one o/billiotw or lymphatic. The <wie seems to-be disposed to bave wbout at fisticuffs with John at all hax. ards; and does nothing but call for someone to hold his hat, until tie thrashes the rascal. The other iso timid, as to be afraid to be heard to sy e k abftVe hie breath, & apprehends the moat dire/a I consequences from the slightest expression of dissatisjgu: tionatany thing he may wringing their hands, and ever and anon exclaiming, CK dearldodonl fight.” | FEDER.UrOUTrUGE.’ The prtw-tedingu of the Senate of the United States, in relation to the Printer of that body, is one of the most high handed proceedings to be found upon the legislative records of the United States, and if it is to be taken as a specimen of the measures of the present Htiministration,the people can not begin too soon, the work of a re , formation which elmll bring back the ’ government to a senie of common jus tice, and the obligations ol the Solemn contracts. It is matter of record and of public notoriety, that a Printer to the Senate had been duly elected, according to the usages of that body; had entered into bond and security for the faithful discharge of his duty; had provided materials at a heavy expense, and had actually entered upon the discharge of his official functions —-but he Was a democrat, arid no sodoer was the new Senate organized* with a maj >rity of federalists,than a motion was made, and ultimately carried; to dismiss him hom his office, to make way for one of their own clique* The contract be-, tweefi him and the government wa3 set aside, without giving him an op portunity to be heard, and an order passed to return him his bond. Our notions of law; have led Us to the conclulion* that as it requires at; least two parties ttf make a contract, it also requires the same number to rescind one, but the conduct of the, Senate assumes the doctrine, that one j of the parties can set it aside* without; eves consulting the othfer. If this principle is established, and followed .is a precedent, the constitu tion no longer affords a gate-guard for the rights ofthe people, nor the slight est protection against injustice and violence; VVe have beard much about Harri son and Reform, but were not prepar ed to expect it come in the form of flagrant outrage, and glaring usurpa tion. That the couise and tendency of General i/irriSon’s administration would ultimately lead to federalism, we never doubted, but we did not ex pect it to commence with the palpable violation of solemn Contracts, and private rights—but we haVe been greatly mistaken.
