Office at the St. George Hotel, Sacramento. ————— 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 .

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. —_—_—_—_—_=_="——————————— DEPARTURE OF STAGES.

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 -be a gala day when those works are first set a spouting. Chas. Simpkins’ gas pipes will be laid with the water pipes.

A safe and pleasant voyage to him if he intends to return. Mixre Accripext.—Mr. Wm. Quirk was killed at Red Dog on Tuesday by the caving of a bank. The accident was not discovered till the following day. Mr. Quirk was from Michigan. Fireman’s Gist Distewution.—The gift distribution for the benefit of Hose Co. No. 1 came off last Saturday evening. The company made about four hundred dollars by the operation, besides a few prizes. Rica.—We saw in the Banking House of Xulford & Hagadorn, on Monday, $14,000 in bars, the purchase of two days. Some two hundred ounces besides were about to be put in the melting pot. The mines are just beginning to yield, for the season. Tow Heap complains he cannot see the point of Red Head’s wit. Red Head admits the rela_ tionship of Tow Head, but begs the world not to blame Red Head because there is a feol in the family.

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. It is seventy-two years since the first inauguration of a President under our national Constitution. During that pericd fifteen different and greatly distinguished citizens have, in succession, administered tue Executive. That braneh of the Government they have conducted through . . now enter upon the same task for the brief constitutional term of four years, under great and peculiar difficulty. Union, heretofore only menaced, is now formally attempted. I hold, then, in contemplation of universal law and the Constitution, the Union of the States to be perpetual. Perpeiuity is of all national Governments. that the Government proper had a provision in its organic law for its own preservation. Conby which the house is still open for the accommodation of the public. Tar Tueatre will be ready for the accommodation of the public on Saturday evening, when Mons. Liebert will distribute several thousand dollars in prizes to lucky ticket holders. tinue to execute all the express provisions of our National Constitution and the Union will endure forever ; it being impossible to destroy it except by some action not provided for in the instrument itself. Again: If the United States be not a Government proper, but an association of States in the nature of a contract merely, can it as a contract be peaceably unmade unless by all the parties who made it? One party to a contract may violate it, break it, so to spenk, but does it I believe I bave no lawful right to do . and, more than this, they placed in the platform, . I now reiterate these’sentiments, andin doing . susceptible, that the property, peace and secuState, under the laws thereof, escaping into an.

The Constitution does not expressly say. Must . Congtess protect slavery in Territories? The . Constitution does not expressly says From 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 Constitution and the laws for the suppression . ations in . not remove our respective sections from each .

Clay is talked of for Merice. Major Anderson is all right. Several . 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 or another who seek to destroy the Union at all events, and are glad of any pretext to do it, I} will not assail you. Yow ean have no conflict will neither affirm or deny, but if there be such, I need address no words to those, however, who rely on the Union. May I speak before entering upon 80 grave a matter as the destruction of onr national fabric with all its benefits, its 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 Company. ia7 We ask particularattention ofou: readers to the sworn certificates of remarkable cures, in anothGreen Peas, Preserves,Spices, Ground Co ffee, Yeast Powders, Clams, Lobsters, Oysters,Sardines, Pick les, Cranberries, Vermicelli, Macaroni, Pearl Bar ley, Split Peas, Tapioca, Sago, Pepper Sauce, Tomato Catsup, Caper, Worcestshire Sauce, Olive Oil, Chicken, Turkey, Prunes, Corn Starch, Salt, Cream Tartar,Carb, Soda, Saleratus,dr Currants, 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. . I am loth to close.
