PRESIDENT LINCOLN’S INAUGURAL .
ADDRESS.
Fellow Citizens, of the United States :
In compliance with a custom as old as the’
Government itself, I eppear here to address you .
briefly, and to take, in your presence, the oath .
prescribed by the Constitution of the United .
States to be taken by the President before he .
enters on the execution of his office. I do not;
consider it necessary at present for meto diseuss .
those matters of administration about which .
there is no special excitement. The apprehen.
sion seems to exist among the people of the .
Southern States that by the accession of a Re.
publican Administration their property and their
peace and personal security are to be endangered, and there has never been any reasovable
cause fof Such apprehension ; indeed, the most
istedy and was open to their inspection.
found in nearly all the published speeches of him
. such a decision.
viously why we do and will hazard so desperate . passion may have strained, it Hust not sever
a step while there is any possibility that anv . our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of
portion of ills you fly from have no real exis. menrory stretching from every bettle-field, and
tence? Will you, while the certain ills you fly
. from, risk the commission of so fearful a mistuke? All profess to be content in the Union,
if all constitutional rights can be maintained.
Ts it trae then that any right plainly written in
the Constitution has been denied? I think not.
Happily the humaa mind is so constituted that
no party can reach to the audacity of doing
this thing. If you can offera single instance
in whieh a plainly written proposition of the . ‘
Constitution hasever been denied; if by the . ForSacramento at 1 o’clock, a.m.
. mere force of numbers a majority shall deprive} «
. arsinority of any clearly written coustitutional
right; it night ina moral point of view justify
it certainly would, if such al
ample evidence to the contrary all the while ex. right were a vital one; but such is not our/ 4,
_— . dividuals were so plainly assumed by theorizcase. All the vital rights of minorities and inpatriots given to every loving heat and hearthstone all over this broad land, wil yet swell the
chorus of the Union when agaia touched, as
surely as they will be by the bette*angels‘of our
nature.

or fool-hardiness. The text was derived from
Covracr.—Bro. Deal held forth at the Methedist Churzh on Sunday last, in a fine extempoTaneous discourse on courage. The parson made
acapital distinction between moral cvurage or
_eourage founded on duty, and physical courage,
the Bible, but was a christian development of
the saying of Col. Crockett: “First be sure you
are right, then go ahead.” The parson dealt
effective blows in the course of his sermon
against duelling and personal combats of every
description. Such discourses are practical and
to the point, and come home to the judgment of
the worst of us.
Warzr Works Surne.—The Anglo Saxon
arrived at San Francisco on Friday last, having
on board the cast iron pipes for Charles Marsh’s
works to supply this city with water. It will

so. Ihave no inclination todo so; Those who
nominated and elected me did so with the full
kaowledge that I had miade this and many similar declarations, and had never recanted them,
for my acceptance, as a Jaw to themselves and
to me, the clear and emphatic resvlution which
I now read:
“ Resolved, That the maintenance inviolate of
the rights of the States, and especially the right
of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to the bal@gee of
power, on which the perfection and endurance
of our political fabric depends; and we denounce the lawless invasion by an armed force
of the Government of any State or Territory, no
matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes.”
sv, Lonly press upon the public attention the
most conclusive evidence of which the case is
rity of no section are to be in anywise endangered by the now incoming Administration. I
add too, that all the protection which, consistently with the Constitution and the laws, can be
given, will be cheerfuily given to all the States
when lawfully demanded, for whatever cause, as
cheerfully to one section as to another.
There is much controversy about the delivery
of fugitises from service or labor. The clause
I new read is as plainly written in the Constitution as any other of its provisions :
“No person held to service of labor in one
other, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation,therein, be discharged from such service
or labor, but shall be delivered, upon claim, to
the party to whom such service or labor may be
due.” It is searcely questioned that this provision was intended by those who made it for the
reclamation of what we call fugitive slaves; and
the intention of the law given is the law.
members of Congress swear their support to the
whole Constitution—to this portion as much as
to any other. To the proposition, then, that
slaves whose cases come within the terms of this
clause, and shall be delivered up, their ecaths
are unanimous. Now, if they would make the
effort in good temper, could they not, with nearly
unanimity, frame and pass a law by means of
There is some difference of opinion whether these
clauses should be enforced by National or State
authority; but surely that difference is nota
very material one. If the slave is to be surrendered, it can be of but little consequence to bim
or to others by what authority it is done, and
should any one in any case be content that his
oath shall be unkept, or a merely unsubstantial
controversy as to how it shall bejkept? Again, in
any law upon this subject, ought not all the
safeguards of liberty known in all civilized and
human jurisprudence, tv be introduced so that a
slave? And might it not be well at the same
time to provide by law for the enforcement of
that the citizens of each State shall be entitled
to all the privileges and immunities of citizens
of the several States? I take the official oath
to-day with no mental reservations and no pur
pose to construe the Constitution and laws by
any private rules, and while I do not choose now
to specify particular Acts of Congress as proper
to be enforced, I do sugzesi that it will be much
safer, both in official and private stations, to
conform to and abide by all those Acts which
trusting to find security in having them held to
be uncenstituticnal.

questions of this class spring all our controversies and we divide upon them irto majorities
}and minorities. If the majority must rule or
. the Government cease, there is no other alternative for continuing the Government but acquisence on the one side or the other. If a minority in such a case will secede rather than
acquiesce, they will make a precedent which in
turn will divide and ruin them. For iustance,
why may nota portiou of a new Confederacy, a
year hence, arbitrarily secede again, precisely
. as portions sf the preseat Union now claim to
. have seceded from it. A‘! who cherish disunion
sentiments are now being educated to the exact temper of doing this. Is there such perfect
identity in the interests of the States to compose a new Union, as to produce harmony only
and prevent renewed secession? Plainly the
central idea of secession is the essence of anarchy. A majority, held in restraint by constitutional checks aad limitations, and always
changing easily with deliberate changes of popular opinions and sentiments, is the only true
sovereign of a free people. Whoever rejects it,
does of a necessity fly to anarchy and despotjism. Unanimity is impossible. The will of a
majority as a permanent arrangement, is whol. ly inadmissible, so that, rejecting the majority
principle, anarchy and despotism, in some form,
is all that is left. Ido not furget the position
assumed by some that constitutional questions
are to be decided by the Supreme Court, nor do
. I deny that such parties must be binding, in
jany case, upon the parties to a suit, as to the
. object of that suit, while they are also entitled
. to a very high respect and consideration, in a
. parallel case, by all other departments of the
. Government, and, while it is obviously possible that such decisions may be erroneous in any
given ease, still, the evil effect following it
. being limited to that peculiar case, with the
. chance that it will be overruled, and never be. come a precedent for other cases, can be better
. borne than could the evils of a different prac. tice. At the same time the candid citizen mast
confess that if the Government, upon vital ques. tions affecting the whole people, is to be irre. voeably fixed by the decission of the Supreme
. Court, the instant they are mede in ordinary
. litigation between parties in personal action,
} the people will have ceased to be their own
. rulers,having to that extent practically resigned
. their Government into the hands of that tribujnal. Nor is there in this view any assault upon
the Court or Judges. Itis aduty from which
they may not shrink to decide cases properly
brought before them; and it is no fault of theirs
if others seek to turn their decisions to politic
al purposes. One sectioa of our country be. lieves slavery is right, and ought to be extended
. while the other believes it is wrong and ought
. not to be extended. This isthe only substan—
. tial dispute, for the fugitive slave clause of the
of the foreign slave trade are just as well enforced perhaps, as they can ever be in a com; munity where the moral sense of the people
. supports the law itself. The great body of the
people abide by the very legal obli
. both eases atter the separation of the two sec. tions. The foreign slave trade, now imperiectly suppressed, would be ultimately revived
. without restriction in cone section, while fugitive slaves, now only partially surrendered,
. would not be surrendered at all by the other.
. Physically speaking, we cannot separate, e2
. other nor build an impasssble wall between
. them. The husband and wife may be divorced,
and go out of the presence or beyond the reach
. of each other, but the different parts of our
. country cannot do this; they cannot but remain
or hostile, must continue between them. Is it
possible, then, to make that int-reourse more
advantageous or more satisfactory after separating than before? Can aliens make treaties
easicr than friends can make liws?
ies be more faithfully enforced between aliens
than laws among friends? Suppose you go to
much loss on both sides, there is no gain on
. either, you cease to fight-—the old identical
questions as to terms of intercourse are again
upon you. This country with its institutions
belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing
Government they can exercise their constitutioual right of amending it, or their revolution. ary right to dismember or overthrow it. We
cannot be ignorant of the fact that many worthy, patriotic citizens are desirous of having

. Yesignations of army officers have taken place.
°°" @qp. Houston is assorted to have resigned.
Descending from these general principles, we
find the proposition that in legal contemplation
the Union is perpetual, confirmed hy the history
itself; the Union is much older than the Consti.
tution. It was formed in fact by the Articles of
Association, in 1774; it was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence, in
1776; it was further matured on the faith of all
the then thirteen States, expressly plighted and
engaged that it should be perpetual. By the
Articles of Confederation, in 1776, and finally in
1789, one of the declared objects for ordaining
an establishment of a Constitution was to form
amore perfect Union by all or a part only of
the States ; possibly the Union is less than before the Constitution, having lost the vital element of perpetuity. It follows from these views,
that no State upon its own mere motion can lawfully get out of the Union; that resolves and
ordinances to that effect are legally veid, and
that acts of violence within any State or States
against the authority of the United States, are
insurrectionary or revolutionary, according to
circumstances. I therefore consider, that in
view of the Constitution and laws the Union is
unbroken, and to the extent of my ability shall
take care, as the Constitution itself expressly
enjoins, that the laws of the Union be faithfully
executed in all the States. Doing this, I deem
it to be only a simple duty on my part, and shall
perform it so far as practicable, unless my rightful master, the American people, shall withhold
the requisite means, or in some authoritative
manner direct the contrary. I trust this wiil
not be regarded as a menace, but only as a declared purpose of the Union that it will only
defend and maintain the Constitution itself. In
doing this there need be no bloodshed or violence; and there shall be none, unless it be
forced upon the Nationalauthority. The power
confided to me will be used to hold, occupy and
possess the property and places belonging to the
Government, and collect duties on imports ; but
beyond what may be necessary for these objects,
there will be no using of force against or among
people anywhere. Where hostility to the United
States in any interior locality shall be so great
and so universal as to prevent competent resident citizens from holding Federal offices, there
will be no attempt to force obnoxious strangers
among the people that object. While the strict
legal right may exist in the Government to enforce the exercise of these offices, the attempt to
do so would be so irritating, and so nearly impracticable withal, that I deem it better to forego for a time the use of such offices. The mails,
unless repelled, will continue to be furuished in
all points of the Union. So far as possible, the
people everywhere shall have that sense of perfect security which is most favorable to calm
thought and reflection.
The eourse here indicated will be followed unless current events and experience shall show a
modification or change to be proper, and in every ease and exigency my best discretion will be
exercised according to circumstances actually . otism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him
existing and with a view and a hope of a peacefal solution of the national troubles and the
restoration of the fraternal sympathies and affections. That there are persons in one section

I need address no words to those, however, who

hopes. Would it not be worse to ascertain gre . friemda. We must not be encmies. Though }
the National Constitution amended. While I
make no recommendation of amendments, I
fully recognize the rightful authority of the
people over the whole subject, to be exercised
in either of the modes prescribed in the instruSacramento street, corner of Le idesdorff, nearly opposite the buildings of the Pacific Mail Steamship

amendments to originate with the people themselves, instead of only permitting them to take
or reject a proposition originated by others, not
specially chosen for the purpose, and which
might not be preferred. Such as they would
wish to either refuse er reject.
IT understand a proposed amendment to the
Constitution, which amendment, however, I
have not seen, has passed Congress, to the
effect that the Federal Govenment shall never
interfere with the domestic institutions of the
States, including that of persons held to service.
To avoid misconception of what I have said, I
depart from my purpose to speak of particular
ameudments, so far as to say, that holding im
plied constitutional views, [have no objection to
its being made express and irrevocable. The
Chief Magistrate derives all his authority from
the people, and they have conferred none upon
him to fix forms for the separation of the States.
The people themselves can do this also if they
choose, but the Executive as such has nothing
to do with it. His duty is to administer and preserve the Government as it came to his hand,
and to transmit it; unimpaired by him, to his
successor. Why should there not be a patient
confidence in the ultimate justice of the people?
Is there any better or equal hope in the world
in our present difficulties? Is either party
without faith, being in sight of the Almighty
ruler of nations, with his eternal truth and justice on every side? This same people have
wisely given their publie servants but little
power for mischief, and have with equal wisdom
provided for the return of that little to their own
hands at very short intervals, while the people re
tain their virtne and vigilance. No administration
in any extreme of wickedness or folly can very
seriously injure the Government in the ahort
space of four years. My countrymen one and
all, think favorably and well upon the whole
subject. Nothing valuable ean be lost by taking
time. If there be an object to hurry any of you
in hot haste toa step which you would never
take deliberately, that object will be frustrated
by taking time; but no good object ean be frustrated by it. Suek of you as are now dissatisfied still have the old Constitution unimpaired,
and on the sensitive point the laws of your own
framing under it; while the new Administration
will have no immediate power, if it would, to
change either. If it wore admitted that you
who are dissatisfied should be on the right side
in the dispute, there still is no single good reason for precipitate action. Intelligences, patriwho has never yet forsaken his favo-ed land, are
still competent to adjust in the best way all our
present difficulties. In your hands, my dissatisfied countrymen, and not in mrine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government
without being yourselves the aggressors. You
have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the
Government, while I shali have the most selemn
one to preserve, protect and defend it. .
