my flection to the chief magistracy of

diug to a j
according to a »
respective bodies to take the oath
prescribed by (he constitution.
Before taking this oath, and as
suming the duties of the office thus
conferred, in conformity with imme
morial custom, it is doubtless expect
ed that I shall present some remarks
5 fdicative of tba general liueof policy
which will nmrk my administration.
These views, concisely stated, I shall
hi to* »ftt ou'y.to ypu,gentiemeu of
the General Assembly, but' to the
’• rge and respected auditory of citi
zens, comprising ladies and gentle
men; who grace and honor these inau
gural ceremonies.
Indulge me then, fellow’citizens, h)
Saying that, being oalleditb’this high
office by the VoicS of fhS people. I
shall enter upon its duties,■ with no
feeling of elation, but rather of deep
depression from a profound sense erf

or objects to hdcomplisb, no partisan
views to advance, no purpose to pro
mote the schemes or objects of any
TOmbinpfidnor.oWol persons whjfti
ever, and nothing to serve but the in
terests of the people—the whole peo
ple of the Stato. - ■ With the co-opera
tion of the legislative department of
the government, my efforts will be
directed with an eye single to the ad
vancement and promotion of .the gen
eral peace, welfare and prosperity of
our beloved State.
In the administration of the Jaws,
as far as lies in my power, it will be
my object to see that equal justice is
done to all alike. j
All our industrial pursuits, agricul
tural, manufacturing, mechanical,
commercial, mining, snipping, and in
ternal transportation, should be look
ed after with care. All those institu
tions, educational, benevolent and
others, which are provided for by our
fundamental law, should be fostered
and promoted to the extent of legis
lative ability with like core and atten
tion.
In this way we shall be able to pro
mote and add to the honor and glory
and renowD of our good old common
wealth.
As to general measures in practical
legislation, I have nothing further to
offer than my past public record, in a
long and not nneveutful life. This is
the only guaTautee as to the charac
ter of my acts in the future.
As Co those general political prin
ciples by which my administration,
Providence permitting, shall be gov
erned, I can but repeat what was
suid in my acceptance of the nomina
tion tendered me fur the office. I re
peat these on this more solemu occa
sion with an emphasis, and especially
because of an evident and growing
disposition in many quarters of the
country to neglect and ignore them.
These are ttiose essential-principles
of republican government wbicb lie
at the foundation of our whole sys
tem of free institutions, and which
can be maintained only by beiug im
pressed upon the minds of legislators
and all other, officials of whatever
grade or character, aa well as upon
the masses of the people, and espe
cially the rising generation.
These are the principles announced
by Thomas Jefferson, and adopted by
the father* oi the republio, early after
cur complicated system of govern
ment was instituted.
These systems apply ns well to our
Federal system as to the several
Sts to governments., ftftd , by their
maintenance the harmony and snocese
ot the system can only be preserved
and perpetuuted. They are as follows:
“Equal and exact justice Um *11 men

As’Burke, upon a most memorable
occasion, appealed “from the then
new Whig party of England to the
old Whigs of his earlier days," so we
appeal from modern Republicanism
to thejnbpient creed of our fathers.—

A Mr. Nix, one of the swindled
ones, thus tells bis story:
“I first took oat a policy in the Ea-
le Daily Aid Association, of Mobile,
ly policy was for $6,000 and my re
turn was to be five dollars per day
for every day that I was in it. I
started in on the 5th of September by
paying my initiation fee and one as
sessment, making $20.60. I followed
that np by paying my annual duos I
believe, aud one assessment, $17.50,
then two more assessments of five
and a half each, and then another as
sessment, making $54.50 that I bad
put into the concern np to the 26tb
of September. I got two more assess
ments of five and a half each, and
was on my way to make the remit
tance when I got auotber assessment
of $55.00. I halted, and sent uo more
money. Two more assessments came,
then an assessment for $110.00. Then
came an assessment ut one clip for
$313.50, makiug in all for just one
mouth $555.00 that I was assessed.—
If I bad paid the assessments I would
have besu entitled to just $145.00.—
Well, leaved in, losing just what I
put in, namely $54.50.
