NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wed === Highly Important from Washington. The Inauguration of James K. Polk, THE NEW PRESIDENT. atvy, March 5, 1845, FORMATION OF THE NEW CABINET. THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Yesterday, at noon, James K. Polk, the newly elected President of the United States, was inau- gurated and took the oath of office inthe presence of congregated thousands. All the party leaders— all the officers of State—all the representatives of the people—multitudes of the fairest women in the land—aad crowds upon crowds of the citizens ot the United Siates, were there, and the whole scene presented one of the most imposing displays of re- publican pomp, splendor, enthusiasm and triumph, ever witnessed in the Capital. The day opened with the noise of cannon—ihe ringing of bells—the display of the American flag from the Capitol, the Navy Yard, the public edi- fices, hotels, and many of the private dwellings of the citizens of Washington. About eight o’clock, early us was the hour, the entire avenue from the President’s House to the Capitol, was thronged with men, women, aud children, from all sections of the country. It was rumored in the morning, that General Jackson had arrived, and such a bursting forth of shouts from point to point, as this report caught and spread among the multitnde, the ears of mor- tal man have seldom heard. It is scarcely neces- sary, however, to say, that ‘‘ Old Hickory” wes present only in spirit. The “* Inaugural Address” was sent on by a go- vernment express, and reached us at eleven o’clock last night. To it we refer our readers without comment. It will be read with, perhaps, a greater degree of interest than that excited by any similar document since the time of Washington. We shall, this day, receive the fullest and earliest de- tails of the inauguration, and will issue the intelli- gence immediately in an extra. Our correspondence from the Capital is of the greatest possible interest and importance. The in- telligence relative to the formation of the new cabinet, will produce great excitement in this re gion. Washington is ina state of unprecedented terment. But we refer our readers to the letter: from our correspondents at the Capital, for the de- tails of the extraordinary state of parties and o} popular feeling there. Discontent—doubt—aston. ishment—indignation—-hope—fear—rejoicing—al! the varied and strong passions of the political arene appear to be let loose in Washington, and no one knows what the next hour may bring forth. We have at this moment the best possible means of obtaining from Washington the fullest, earlies', and most authentic intelligence. Place no reli- ance upon the rumors, stories, and falsehoods of the party journals, but look out for the Herald cor- respondence from the Capitol. ‘The Inaugural Address. Feviow Citizens ‘Without solicitation on my part, I have been chosen by the free and voluntary suffrages of my countrymen t« the most honorable and most responsible office on earth. 1am deeply impressed with itude for the confidence reposed im me. Honored with this distinguished consi deration at an earlier period of lite than any of my prede- cessors, | cannot disguie the diffidence with which I am about to enter on the discharge of my official duties. If the more aged and experienced men the office of President of the United St infancy of the republic, distrusted their ability to dis oburge the dutive of that d station, what ought pec to be the apprehensions of one so much ‘younger und ies. endowed, now that our domain extends from ocean to ocean, that our people have so greatly increased in num- bera,and at atime when 80 great diversity of opinioo prevails in regard to the orinciples ond policy which should characterize the administration of our govern- ment? Well may the boldest fear, and the wisest tre ble, when incurring responsibilities on which may d pend our country’s peace and prosperity, and in some gree, the hopes and happiness of the whole human {u- mily. In assuming responsibilities so vast, [ voke the aid of that Almighty Ru'er of the Universi whose hands are the deatinies of nati and of men, inst_the mischi which, without His guidance, might arise from en unw: public policy. With a firm reliance upen the wisdom ot Omnipotence to sustain and direct me in the path of duty which I am appointed to pursue, I stand in the presenc: of this assembled multitude of my countrymen, to take upon myself the solemn obligation, “to the best ot mj ability, to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States. Aconc.se enumeration of the principles which wil! guide me in the administrative policy of the government, 48 not only in accordance with the examples set me by all my predecessors, but is eminently befitting the occasion. ‘The constitution itself, plainly written as it is, the safe ard of our federative compact, the offspring of conces- sion and compromise, binding together in the bonds o! peace and union this great and increasing family of tree and mn ged ‘States, will be the chart by which I shali be directed. y first care to administer the government fervently in- in It will be in the true spirit of that instrument, and to assume nv powers not expressly granted or clearly implied in it terms. The government of the United S$ ates is one o! delegated and limited powers ; and it is by a strict adher- ence to the clearly granted powers, and by abstaining from the exercise of doubtful or unaythorized implies powers, that we have the only sure gud®anty against th: recurrence of those unfortunate collisions between the Federal an! State authorities, which have occasionally so mach disturbed the harmony ot our system, and even threatened the p:rpetuity of our glorious Union “To the States respectively, or to the people,” have been reserved “the powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States.” " Each State is a complete sovereignty within the sphere of its reserved powers. The government of the nion, acting within the sphere of its delegated autho. rity, is also a complete sovereignty. While the general government should abstain from the exercise of authority not clearly delegated to it, the States should be equally careful that, in the maintenance of their rights, they do ‘not overstep the limits of powers reserved to them. One of the most distinguished of my predecessors attached de served importance to “the support of the State govern ments in all their rights, as the most compet nt adminis- tration for our domestic concerns, and the surest bulwark against anti-republican tendencies ;” and to the “ preser- jon of the general government in its whole constitu tional vigor, as the sheet-anchor of our peace at home, and safety abroad ” To the government of the United States has been in- trusted the exclusive management of our foreign affairs. Beyond that, it wields a few general enumerated power It ‘does not force reform on the States. It leaves individ ala, over whom it casts its protecting influence, entirely free to improve their own condition by the legitim: ercise of all their mental and physical powers. I common protector of each and all the States; of every man who lives upon our soil, whether of native or foreign birth; of every religious sect, in their worship of the Almighty according to the dictates of their own consei ence; of every shade ot opinion, and the most free ing’ ry; of every art, trade, end occupation, consistent the laws of th nd we rejoice in the general hap d advancement of eur country,which ing of freedom, and net of power. ost admirable and wisest system of well-regu- lated self-government among men, ever devised by f man minds, has been tested by its successful operation for more than half a century, a preserved from the usur. pations of the federal government onthe one hand, and the exercise by the States of powers not reserved to them on the other, will, I fervently hope and believe, endure for ages to come, and dispense the Slessings of civil and religious liberty to distant generations. To effect objects patriot, I shall devote m: if with a It will be my desire to guard a, that most fraitful source of danger to the harmoniow: tion of our system, which consists in substituting the mere discretion and caprice of the executive, or of major- ities in the legislative department of the government, for powers which have been withheld trom the federal go- verament by the constitution. By the theory ef our vernment, insjorities rule, but this right is not an trary or unlimited one. It is aright to be exercised in subordination to the constitution, and in conformity to it. One great edject of the constitution was to restrain jorities fcom oppressing minorities, or encroaching apon their just rights. Minori to the constitution, as # shield against such oppression That the blessings of liberty’ which our Constitution secures may bB enjoyed alike by minorities and majori ties, the executive has bewn wisely invested witu a quali- fied veto upon tae acts of the Legislature. Itisa nega tive power, and is conservative in its character. It ar. resis for the time hasty, inconsiderate, or unconstitution al legislation; invites reconsider tions at issue between the iegislative ‘and executive de- partments t» the tribinal of the people. Like all other powers, it is aubject to be abused. When judiciously and properly exercised, the constitution itsell may be saved Hen ot aera and the rights of all preserved and Pro- tected. The inestimable value of our federal Union is felt and acknowledged by all. By this system of united and con- jederated States, our people are permitt»d, collectively aod individuaily, to seek their own happiness in their own way; and the consequeaces have been most auspicious — Since the Union was formed, the number of the screased from thirteen to twenty-eight; two of these have sken their position as members of the confederacy within he last week. Our population has increased from thre » twenty millions. New communities and States are seek 14g protection Under its wgis, and mui itudea from the Ol) orld are flocking to our shores to participate in ire sings Beneath its benign sway, peace and prospert prevail. Freed from the burden: il miseries of war, ‘trade and intercourse have extended throughout the and transters ques- worlJ. Mind, no longer tasked in devising means to ac- complish or resist schemes of ambition, usurpation, oF conquest, is devoting itself to man’s true interests, in de- veloping his faculties and powers, and the capacity of na ture to mivister to bis enjoyments, Genius is free to an- nounct its inventions and discoveries; and the hand is free to accomplish whatever the heed conceives, not in- compatible with the rights of afellow-being Ail distine- ions of birth orof rank have been abolished. All citizens ms of pi whether native or adopted, are placed upon te ciso equality. All are entitled to equal sights and cqui protection. No neion exists between church aud state. and perfect freedom of opinion is guarantied to ali sects and creeds, These are some cf the blessings secured to our happy land by our federal Union. To perpetuate them, it is our sacred duty to preserve it. Who shall assign limits to the echievements of free minds and fiee bands, under the protection of this glorious Union? No treason to man. kind, since the organization of socicty, would be equal in atrocity to thar vt him whe would lift his hand to destroy it. He would overthrow the noblest structure of human wisdom, which protects himself and his fellow-man. He would stop the progress of free government, and involve his country esther in snarchy or despotism. He would extungnish the fire of liberty which warms and animates the hearts of happy millions, and invites all the nations of the earth to imitute our example. If he say that error and wroug are committed in the administration of the government, let him remember that nothing human can be perfect ; ane that under no other system of govern ment reveated by heaven, or devised by man, has rearcr been allowed so free and broad a scope to combat error Has the sword of «lespots proved to bs 4 safer o surer instrument of reform in government than ey lightened reason? Does he expect to find umong thr ruins of this Union a happier abode for onr swarm ing millions than they now have under it? Every lover of hiacountry must shudder at the thought of the possibility of its dissolution, and will be ready to adopt the patriotic sentiment, “Our federal Union—it must be preserved.” ‘To preserve it, the compromises which alone ensbled our fathers to form a common constitution for the government and protection of so many States, ane distinct communities, of such diversified habits, interests, and domestic institutions, must be sacrediy and relicious- ly observed. Any attempt to disturb or destroy thes compromises, being terms of the compact of Union, lead to none other than the most ruinous and disastrous consequences, It is a source of deep regret that, in some sections of our country, misguided persons have occasionally indulged in whe ject is the destru & in other sectior tutions which existed at the adoption of the constitutivn, and were recognisrd and protected by it. All must see that ifit were possible for them to be successful in attain- iag their object, the dissolution of the Union, and the con- sequent destruction of our happy form of government must speedily follow. Tam happy to believe that at every period of our ex istence asa nation, there has existed, and continues to exist, among the great masa of our people, a devotion to the Union of the States, which will shield and protect it against the moral'treason of any who would seriously contemplate its destruction. To secure a continuance ot that devotion, the compromises of the constitution must not only be preserved, but sectienal jealousies and heart burnings must be discountenanced; and all should remember that they are members of the same politica) family, having a common destiny. ‘To increase the st tachment of our people to the Union, our laws should be just. Any policy which shall tend to favor monopolies or the peculiar interests of sections or classes, must 0} rate to the prejudice of the interests of their fellow olti. zens, and should be avoided If the compromises of the constitution be preserved—if sectional jealousias ané heart burnings be discountenanced—if our laws be just, and the (pg felermgnry be practically administered strictly within the limits of power cribed to it—we may dis card all apprehensions for the safety ef the Union. With these views of the nature, character, and objectr of the government, and the value of the Union, I shall steadily cxpoes the creation of thoseinstitutions and sys tema which, in their nature, tend to pervert it from ite legitimate purposes, and make it the instrument of sec tions, classes, and individuals. We need no national banks, or other extraneous institutiens, planted aroun’ the government to control or strengthen it in opposition to the willof its authors. Experience has taught us how unnecessary thoy areas auxiliaries of the public authori Hoye impotent for good, and how powertul for mis chief. Ours was intended to be a plain and frugal government: and I shall rey itto be my daly, to meen to Con- ress, and, a8 far as the executive is concerned, to enforce y all the means within my power, the strictest economy in the expenditure of the public money, which may be compatible with the public interests. A national debt has become almost an institution of European monarchies. It is viewed, in some of thim, at fn essential prop to existing governments. Melancholy is the condition of that people whose government can be sustained only by @ system, which periodically transfer large amounts from the labor of the many to the coffer of the few. Such a Fema is incompetible with the ends for which our republican government was instituted. Under a wise policy, the debts contracted in our revolu- tion, and during the war of 1812, haye been happily ex- tinguished. By a judicious application of the revenues, not required for other nec purpoges it is not doubt- ed thatthe debt, which has out of the circum: stances of the last few years may he speedily paid off. I congratulate my fellow-citizeas onjthe entire r-stora tion of the credit of the general government of the Union, and that of mony of; the States. Hepp: would it be for Indeptea States, Hi they were ireed ffm tuelr Lapiiitiew many of which were pe meet contracted. Althoug) the government of the n is neither in a legal nor 0 moral sense bound for the debt of the States, and it would be a violation of our compact of union to assume them, yet we cannot but feel a di inter. est in seeing all the States meet their wablic lia bilities, and pay off their just debts, at the earliest —— period. That they will do so, as soon as it can done without impos ng too heavy ‘burdens en their citizens, there is no reason to doubt. The sound, moral, and honorable feeling of the people of the indebted States, cannot be questioned ; and we are happy to perceive « settled disposition on their part, as their Ability returns after a season of unexampled | wen nse embarrassment, to pay off all just demands, and t bee rege in any rea- sonable measures to accomplish thet ohject. One ofthe difficulties which we. have had to encounter in the practical adminwtration of the government, con sists in the adjustment of our revenue laws, and the levy of the taxes necessary for the support of government In the general proposition, that no more money shall be collected than the necessities of an economical adminis tration shall require, all parties seem to acquiesce. Nor does there seem to beany material difference of opinion as to the sbsence of right in the ernment to tax on¢ section of country, or one class of citizens, or one occu- pation, for the mere profit of another. “ Justice and sound pelky forbid the federal government to fosterene branch of industry to the detriment of another, or to cherish the interests of one portion to the injury of another portion efourcommon country.” I have heretofore declared to my fellow citizena thet, in my judgment, it is the duty ofthe goverument to extend, as far as it may be practi. cable to do so, by its reven we, and altother means within its power, fair and just protection to all the great foterests of the whole Union, embracing agriculture, mo- pufactures, the mechanic arts, commerce, ond naviga tion.” I have also declared my opinion ‘0 be “in favor of a tariff for revenue,” and thi in adjusting the detaii of such a tariff, Ihave sanctioned such moderate discri- minating duties as would produce the amount of revenue needed, and, at the same time, afford reasonable incidental protection to our home industry.” fand that I was ' op- ro to a tariff for protection merely, and not for reve- nue.” ‘The power “to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises,” was an indispensable one to be conferred on the federal government which, without it, would possess no means of providing for its own support. In executing this power by levying & tariff of duties for the support of government, the raisi we het revenue should be the object, protection the incident. To reverse this principle, make protection the object, and revenue the incident. would be to inflict manifest injustice upon all other than the protected interests. In levying duties for revenue, it ia doubtless proper to make stich discrimimations within the revenu iple, as will afford incidental protection to our hoi terests. Within the revenue limit, there is a discretion discriminate ; beyond thet Jimit, the rightful exercise of the ° power is not conceded. The in cidental protection afforded to our home interests by dir- criminations within the revenue range, it is believed will be ample. In making discriminations, all our home inter- ests should, as far as practicable, be equally protected — The largest portion of our people fare agriculturists, Others are employed in menufact res, commerce, navigation, and the mechanics rts, engnged in their respective pursnits, and their joint. labors constitute the national or home industry. To tax one branch of this home industry for the benefit of avother would be unjust. No one of these interests can rightful. ly claim an advantage over the others, or to be enriched by impoverishing the others. All are equally entitled to the fostering care and protection of the government. In exercising a sound discretion in levying discriminating duties within the limit prescribed, care should be taken that it bedone ina manner not to benefit the wealthy few, at the expense of the toiling millions, by taxing low. eat the loxnries of life, or articles of superior quality and high price, which can only be consumed by the wealthy; and highest the necessaries of life, or articles of coarse quality and low price, which the poor and ‘masa of our people must consume. The burdens ernment should, as far as practicable, be Siatibated fantly and equally among ali classes of our population. These gen- eral views, long entertained on this subject. I have deemed it proper to reiterate. Upon whi conflictin, occupations are supposed spirit of mutual concession and compromise in adjusting its detaila should be cherishedy every part of our wide-spread country, as the only means of erving harmony and a cheerful ac- quiescence of all in the operation ott our revenue laws. Uur patriotic citizens in ev part of the Union will readily submit to the on fre of such taxes as shall be needed for the support of their government, whether in ice or in war, if they are so levied 9s to distribute the yurdens as Lope 4 aa possible among them The republic of Texas has made known her desire to come into our Union, to form a part of our confederacy, and enjoy with us the blessings of liberty secured and guarantied by our constitution.

Bets — th ucts. Sse wt ‘0 Texas the reunion is important; because the strong pation a°m ofour government would be extended over er, and the vast resonrces of her fertile svil and genia! climate would be speedily developed; while the saiety of N Orleans and of our whole southwestern frontier, against hostile aggression, a3 well es the inierests of the who!» Union, wi be promoted by it In the earlier of our national, existence, the opi nion prevailed with some, that our system of confedera- ted Stutes could not operate successfully over an extended territory, and scrious objections have, ot different times, been made to the enlargement of our boundaries. These objections were earnestly urged when we acquired Lou istma Experience has shown that they were not well founced The title of numerous Indian tribes to vast tracts of country has been extinguished. New States have been admitted into the Union; new territories have been created, and our jurisdiction and laws extended over them, Asour population has expanded, the Union ha: been cemented and strecgthened; as our heundaries have been enlarged, and our agricultural population has been spread over a large suriace, our federative system has ac- quired additional strength and security. It may well be doubted whether it would not be in greater danger of over- throw if our present population were confined to the comparatively yarrow limits ot the criginal thirteen tates, than it is, now that they are sparsely settled over a more expandedterritury It is confidently believed thet our system msy be eafely extended to the utmost bounds ot our territorial limits; and that, as it shall be extended ihe bonds ef our Union, so far from being weakened, wil) become stronger. to our safety and future None can fail to see the da: peace, if Texas remains an independent State, or becomes an ally or dependency of some foreign nation more pow: erful than herself. Ig there one among our citizens who wonld not prefer perpetual peace with Texas, to occa- siounl wars, which so often occur between bordering in- dependent nations? Is there one who would not prefer free intercourse with her, to high duties on all our pro: ducts and mannfactures which cnter her ports or cross her frontiers? Is there ene who would not prefer an un- restricted communication with her citizens, to the fron- tier obstructions which must occur if she remains out of the Union? Whatever is good or evil in the local in tutions of Texas, will remain her own, whether annexed tothe United States er not. None of the present States will be resposible forthem, any more than they are for the local institutions of each other. They have confederated together for certain cpecified objects. Wpon the same refuse to forma principle that they would al union with Texas, bi of her loca! itutions, our fore- fathers would hi been prevented from forming our present Union, Perceiving no valid objection to the meacure, and many reasons for its adoption, vitully affecting the peace, the safety, and the prosperity ot both countries, shall, on the broad principle which formed the basie and’ produced the adoption of our constitution, and not in any narrow spirit of sec: tional policy, endeavor, by all constitutional, honorablv, and appropiate means, to consummate the expressed w)il of the people and government of the United States, by the re-snnexation of Texas to our Union at the earliest practicable period.

The j liction of our laws and the Denedise of our republican institutions, should be extended over them in the distant regions which they have selected for their homes. The increasing facilities of intercourse will easily bring the States, of which the formation in that part of our territory cannot be long de- layed, within the sphere ot our federative Union. In the meantime, every obligation imposed by treaty or conven tional stipulations should be sacredly res) Je In the management of our foreign relations, it will b my aim to observe acareful respect fer the rights of oth- ‘tions, while our own will be the subject of constant Equal and exact justice should cherac- ll our intercourse with foreign countries.

Tue Artantic Steam Suirs—We find the fo) lowing capital hit at the Bostonians in the Port- land Argus of the 3d iast. We have one of the engravings spoken of in our office.

A ber lithograph has been got up, of the steam ship Driteunia, in the harbor of Boston, as she was freec from un ice embargo, the 34 of February, 1844 This en graving was made in bonor of the princely liberality of the Boston merchants, who expended $10,000 in this suc cessful effort to free the noble ship, and send her on her way to England.

Some imagine that in their equabblings and feuds about the spoils to be dispensed at head-quarters, they have comparatively lost sight of matters neare) home, but that is a very silly conjecture. The lo- cofocos were never more determined, and more wide awake, with respect to the election in thir city than at this moment. They will be out soon with their candidate for the Mayoralty, and will make a very united and vigorous fight. They will concentrate their streng*h in the doubtful wards, aad will leave nothing undone to obtain victory. As forthe poor “Natives,” their prospects are gloomy in the extreme. Their conduct has disgust- ed every body. Their violation of their pledges— their corrupt contracts—their neglect of duty— their miserable and farcial efforts at reform—their increase of the taxes, and their general imbecility, stupidity aud worthlessness, have rendered them the objects of general execration and ridicule.— They will, however, make great efforts to retain office, and as the great struggle will be between them aud the Whigs, the scene will be amusing in the extreme, Licentiousnass of THE Party Press.—It is real ly painfulto observe the scurrilous and abusive manner in which the Courier, Tribune and kin- dred party journals are assailing Mr. Tyler, on his retirement from the Presidency. Every vitupera- tive epithet, which malice and vulgarity can sug- gest, is applied to the late Chief Magistrate ef thie country. And these are the newspapers whicl: aflect to be respectable—to be patriotic—to be the Tepresagtatives of American public opinion! 1 would not be easy to exaggerate the degradation aud contempt with which such reckless, violen and rabid party journalism has loaded the Ameri- can character and American institutions. Tue Naw Yorx Post Orrics.—The Postmaster of this city is very busily engaged in hawking abou‘ petitions in favor of his re-appointment, but we need hardly say that he meets with but small suc- cess in obtaining signatures. We believe almos: every respectable man in the city has petitioned fo: the appointment of Mr. Coddington. It is near; time that we had a capable and efficient postmas- ter in this city. Tue Rotunpa 1n THE Parx.—The Board of As sistants have concurred with the Board of Alder- mex, and not “‘non-concurred” in relation to th disposal of this building. The Committee of Art: and Sciences will, therefore, get possession of thir part of the city property, which will add to the large catalogue of the claims of the “natives” ! the spring election, as it takes away some $5000 per year of the city property.
