The following is the Presideut's inaugural addieBB : Fellow Country men - At Uiis secoüd appearing to take the otith olafiie Presi denlial office thero is less occasion tor an extended address than there was át the tirst. Then a statement soinouhnt in detail oí a conrse to he pursued seeined very fitting and proper.. Novv, at tiie expiration of four years, duiing which public deolarations have been cotistüDtly called forth on every point aud phase of the great contest which still absorba the attention, and engrosses the tnergies of the nation, üttle that is new oould be presented. The progresa of our arms, upwii thioh all ol.se dependa, is as well kuowri to tbu public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasouubly satisiaetory and eucouraging to all. Wïth high hope f'or the future no prediction witii regaid to it is ventured On the occasion similar to this, tour yeara ago uil thoughts were auxiously directod ,to au impeuding civil war. All dreaded it ; al' sought to avoid it. While the Inaugural Addross was being delivered IVom thiiipiace, devtited iltogether to sitving the Union without v;ir, iosorgont agents were in the city seeking to destroy ft witliout war, neeking to diï-solvu the Union and divide the elfects by negotia t'on. üiitb partios depreoatüd war, but one of theni would iDake war nuher thau Ie', the Natiou survive, aud tlie uther would ucciipt war rather than let it pori-h, aud the wur carne. Une eighth ol tha whole populatiou fere colored slaves ast distributod generally over the Uiion, but localizéd in the southarn part of it.. These slaves constituted a n peculiar aud powerf'ul interest. All iniow ihat this interest was soineliow the cause ot the war. To. streugtheu, perpetúate and extend this interest, was the object fot wliiüli the iiisnrguuts W'iukl rend ihu Uuiun by war, while the G.iveinmett clairned uo riabt to do more thuii to lüötrict the tevritorial enLargement of t. Neither ]arty expectc1 ior tho war the magnitude iiikJ tho duratiou whioh it htm ülrcady attuined. Neither iutk-,ipulcd that the cause of the coutJict itself Hlioüld cense. Each lookod fot' au easier trtumph and a result lesa fundanieiitul and astounding. Both read the sanie Bible, and pray to the sume God, and each iuvokes His aid against thoo', her. It may seem strange that auy men should daré to ask a just Gou's asrtistance in wringing their bread Irom the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not, that we be uot judged. The pravers of both should not be answered ; ihat of neither hasbeeu answered fully. The Almiffhty ha his own purposes. - " Woe unto the world because of offeuoes, for it must needs be that oifences come, but woe to that man by whom the olfonce cometh."
