Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives, and Friends and Fellow Citizens; Invited by the suffrages of my folfowcitizens to the Chief Magistracy of the Republic, I embrace the oppertunity which this solemn occasion; presents, of tendering my deep and endunnsr gratitude for their distinguisnea ia-vor. When I reflect upon the great unanimity of the populnr voice by which I am called to this station. 1 cannot repress the painful ap prehension that Imay not be able to fulfil the hiirh exoectations which such general confi dence implies. 'X And if I did not feel assured that the co-ordinate orancnes ot tne uovern- kio.

inAnt nrUin nt, as well as the better udgment of those whom I ma be able tor call into my coupcik, would abundantly supply mv aenciencies, i should be constrained to avoid a situation into which I bring abilities so inadequate to the discharge of its high and important duties But indulging the pleasing hope that a warm hearted and liberal people will continue to judge' of my motives and my actions with the generous indulgence heretofore extended td their, public servant forgiving what is wroncr and sustain in? what is riffht assume the Executive, with, the solomri assurance to. this august assembly that.every effort in my power shall be made to strengthen and retain the confidence reposed in my dispo sition to advance the happiness ot the people and to widen and confirm the foundations our national institutions. I place a high trust, my fellow citizens, in the protection of the ureat Kuler ot nations who has never yet. deserted a people whose virtues may have entitled them to the blessings of freedom. Driven into the assertion of our rights and' the defence of our lives, by the ty ranny and oppression of those with whom it was our misfortune to be associated in govern ment, providential interference in our behalf, from the beginuing of the revolution up to the present period guiding us; in the paths" and eustaiaing.us in the hour of diffi culty, when our own wisdom had failed us.

has been so manifest and signal that I cannot but indulgu-'the cheering belief that the Great Dispenser all blessings will rstiircontiriue to prosper us in our future career; will be with us in all our trials and and in the end enable us to rear such a political super structure, for the preservation of freedom as tyranny cannot shake and. time shall coiitinu ally strengthen. Let then the warm oblationso the heart be treely offered to that Divine Bern who hath thus fur conducted us -to glory and prosperity through1 so many trying" scenes and v. hi 1st We would supplicate a continuance ot his protecting goodness; let it be our con stant study to demean ourselves individually and nationally in such manner as not to forfeit all claim to the munificence solieitod, by the selfishness of our motives or the folly of "our measures. l.i;vv;;.4',,;.;;..:':-i;; should we, in the fullness of prosperity, foriret those irallant spirits whose, military skill and manly energies, under the guidance ot Providence, achieved our independence and laid the corner stone, or a young 'Republic, which we fondly hope may yet excel those nations which have arrived at maturity, in the purity of her institutionsand the stability of her freedom.

Whether the of the devolution have sealed their devotion to liber- ty hy the blood of martyrdom, or whether they still survive to participate in the fruits of their valor, it is equally our justice to our wn feelings, nnd as a bright example to those who are to come after us, to cherish the me mbry of the dead and to reward the virtues of the living; and by so doing refute the slander of our foes, and enforce the solemn truth that the generous and brave, who draw iij defence of Texas," may; rely with safety On the honor qf her government. i the new sphere in which I shall soon be called to act, I trust I bring with me no feel ings unbecoming the first officer of a. free government: Nobler considerations than the gratification of selfish purposes and procrip tive passions must engage the executive atten 'We have peace to procure, the public credit to the resources of our country to develope; These, and "similar, are the great concerns, which should engross the attention of every department of Government, and call forth the highest energies of enlight ened patriotism.

Notwithstanding, the al most unanimous voice of mV fellow-citizens, at one time, in favor of the measure; and not withstanding the decision of the: national Congress at its last inhibiting, the Chief from withdrawing the rro- position at the cabinet' of Washington; yet still I hare never been able myself to perceive the policy the desired connection, or dis cover in it any advantage! either civil, politi cal, or icommercia which could possibly result to lexas.

Perhaps there was wisdom in the choice; but am Iree to confess that evan at that time, amidst the darkest period of our, countrs's history, I "never despaired of the 'Republic, but with unshaken confidence in the strength our cause, and -a- full knowledge of what the energies of a free and determined people were capable of achieving, I my feeble voice against sacrifice which were aLout'to make, -without any reterenee to the diiticulties of the moment; and with an eye exclusively directed to future glory of the nation, and permanent prosperity and happi hess of all.

jWe have risen from our prostration with redoubled energies.

Never was a people so favorably situated as we are, for the establishment of a wise and happy government. AVe have already laid the ground work successfully and well; and it is only necessary we pay proper attention to the strength, and symmetry of the superstructure. As in the natural sciences, discoveries are daily being made; so in the art ot good government, the great teacher, lime, is continually suggesting new, and important changes which, as a wise people, we should be ever ready auvisedly to adopt, undeterred by the dread of innovation; and with consci ous rectitude tor our. guide, move boldly on ward in the rapid march of improvement, and keep pace with the progress of successful experiment, The American constitution is cer tainly -the highest effort of political-wisdom', and approaches more nearly to perfection than any other social compact for the government "of man; yet a fair trial of fifty years has detected in that sacfed chart many serious and alarming errors, if we.

To achieve this deirable er.d, we must turn to the great volume of history that lies' open before us, and profit by the lessons it, teaches.
