THE INAUGURATION AND ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT JEFFERSON DAVIS, TRIRTEENTH Day, Mostoomexy, Feb. 18, 1841. ‘The ipavgural ceremovies \o-ay were the grancost Pageant ever witressed in the South There was ap tm mense crowd on Capito! Mill, consiating of a great array of the beauty, military and citizens of the afferent Btates. Mr. Davis ccmmenced precisely at one o'clock. said:— GENTLEMEN OF THE CONGRESS OF TIE CONFEDERATE SrATRS OF AMERICA: FRENDS asp Fritow Cinzexs—Culled to the difficult nd reeponsible station of Chief Executive of the Provi sion Government which you have instituted, [ ap proach the discharge of the duties assigned mye with an humble distrust of my abilities, but with a sustaining confidence im the wisdom of these who areto guide and aid me in the aommistration of public affairs, aud un abiding faith im the virtue and pu riotism of tho people. Look ng forward to the speesy establishment of a per- mancat goverpment to take the place of ths, and which, by its grestor mors! and physica’ power, will be better able to embat with the many difficuities wikich arise fiom the conflicting interests of Separate neticns, J enter npon the dusies of the office to which T have been cle sen with te h pe thot the begiansng of cur career as aconfelerocy may not be obstructed by hostile py ition to our enjoyment of the separate existence and in- pendence which we have os erted and which, with the bless- ing of, Providence, we intend to maintain. Our present condition, aebieved ma auaner unprecedented in tue history of nations, illustrates the American idea that governments rest upon the consent of the governed, and that it 18 right for the people to alter aad abviish govern- ments whenever they become dertruc:ive to the ends for which they were established. The declared compact of the Union from which we bave withdrawn was to estab- lish justice, insure gomestic tranquillity, provile for the common defence, promote the general welfare, acd eecure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves ‘and our posterity; and when, in the judgmont of the sovereign States now composing this contoieracy, it hue been perverted from the purposes for which it was or- dained, and ceased to answer the ends for which ‘t was ‘established, a peaceful appeal to te ballot box declared that, so far as they were concerned, the government created by that compact should coase to exist, In this they merely assertes the right which the Declaration of Independence of 1776 deflued to be inalienable. Of the time and ocvasion of jig exercise they, as sovercigas, were the final judges, each for itself, Tbe impartial, eplightened verdict of mankind will vindicate the recti- tude of our conduct, and He who knows the hearts of men will judge of the sincerity with which we labored to preserve the goverument of our fathers in its spirit, The righ’, solemaly prociaimed st the birth of the States, and which has been affirred anu reafirmed in the bills of rights of the States subsequently admitted into the Union of 1789, undeniably recognizes in the people the power toresume the authority delegated for the pur pores of governnent. Thus tho soveroign States hore represented proceeded to form this confederacy, and it is by the abuse of longuage that their act hes been denomi- nated revolution. They formed a new alliance, but with- in each State its government has remained; the rights of person und property have not been disturbed. The ageut through whota they communicated with foreign natious {s chagged, but this ices no! necessarily interrupt their international relations, Sustuined by the conzcious- ness that the transition from the — form er’ Union to the = present confederacy has not proceeded from a disregard on our part of our just obligations or any failure to perform every coustitu- tional duty, moved by no interest or passion to invade the rights of others, anxious to cultivate peace and com- merce with ull nations, if we may not hope to avoid war, We may at least expect that posterity will acquit us of having ueediessly engaged in it. Doubly justified by the absence of wrong on onr part and by wanton aggression on the part of others, there can be no causo 40 doubt the courage and patriotism of the people of the Confederate States will be found equal to any measures of defence which econ their security may requiré. ‘Am agricultural people, wh se chief interest is the export of a commetity required in every manufacturing country our true policy is peare und the freest trade which our necessities will permit. Tt is alike our interest and ‘that of all thoge to whem we would seil, and from whom we would buy, that there should be the fewest practicable restrictions upon the interchange of commo- ities. There cam be but lilfle rivalry betwen ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the Northeastern Sates of the American Enion, It must follow, therefore, that mutuol interest would invite goot will and Kind effices. If, however, passion or lust of dominion should clowd the judgment or inslame the ambisiom of those States, we must prepare to mect the emeryeney and maintain by the final arbiirament of the sword the position which we awe aanened ameng the nations of the earih, We have entered upon a career of independence, which must be inflexibly pursued through many years of controversy with ovr late associates of the Northern states.

Mr. Guthrie immediately responded that it would, becange in such an event the question could be taken before the people. ‘This reply is taken, by many republicans, as an evi- dence that the only desire of the originators of the Peace Congress is to invent some plan by which the opposition to the republican party can go before the. people upon a now issue, for the purpose, if possible, of reconstructing the democratic party.
