The In augur alien. At an early hour yesterday, hundreds of pqj-aqiu from nil paru of the Slate had assembled at the Capiul, to witness the inauguration of the Governor F. Causey. The day was splendid, and everything wore a bright aspect. Sometime before the procession arrived, the seats in the court room were nearly all occupied by the ladies, who, by their beauty and cheerful entiles, tended greatly to enhance thesplendor of the entire day.

About half-past eleven o'clock, a large procession entered the town, headed by the chief maiehal, Dr. Jump, and followed by the Washington Brass Bond, of Philadelphia; immediately after the Band, came Gov Rosa and A. P. Robinson, SecreUry of State then came the carriage containing P. F.

Causey, J. R. LofUnd, and Rev. T. B.

Bradford, attended on either aide by four followed by standard-bearers with flags, after whom came a long train of horsemen and At 12 procession baited in front ofthe State Mr.Causey by Gov. Rose and Judge Harrington. After an eloquent and fervent prayer by the ReV. T. B.

Bradford, the oath of office was administered by Hon. S. M. Harrington, one of the Judges of the Superior court, and Peter F. Causey was duly declared Governor of Delaware.

His Excellency then read his Inaugural Address which occupied just half an hour. It is considered an able document. We have but time, in this issue, to refer to the leading topics of the address, viz: American principles, Eulogy on the Banking system ofthe State, Railroad, Steamboat companies. Agriculture and Education. After the address was delivered, and music by the band, the audience adjourned.

At 8 o'clock they re-assembled in front of the Stale House, when the Hon. John M. Clayton presented, through Joseph P. Comegys, magnificent flag to the American party of the State of Delaware, which was received by Hon. John W.

Houston, in a short but eloquent address. At the call of the assembly, able addresses were made by Rev. Mr. Bradford, and Hon. Messrs.

Houston and Wales. In the evening the Governor held a levee, for the purpose of receiving the ladies, in the Hall of the House of Representatives, which was numerously attended. After the Governor had retired, the young folks had a hop," which was ended at 12 o'clock, when the companyretired, pleased with the proceedings of the day. A Romantic Marriage, between an Irish girl and a Scotchman, occurred in Smyrna, circumstances being as follows: A. few months ago the girl came over from Irelaud aboard a ship in which the hero of our story was the surgeon.

During the passage they became acquainted, enamored, and, before the ship arrived at her place of destination, they were engaged to be married. The girl having left tbe ship, took up her residence in the family of gentleman residing in or near Millington, Md. In the meantime a correspondence kept bei ween the two lovers, and on his late arrival in New York, he proceeded to make search for the lady of his devotion, in that city could acquaint him with the whereabouts of hit "lady-love," he proceeded to Philadelphia, with a like result, but, with the devoticn of a Leander to his Hero, he continued on to New Castle, where he learned the location of tbe place. He immediately to Middletown, and, being unable to get voyance further, he walked from thence to distance of eighteen miles. Having found the object sought for, he, in company with her, repaired to the residence of Rev.

8. T. Carpenter, in this place, for the purpose of being united in the bonds of wedding-ring and all other preliminaries being in readiness, save the license, which must be the term of Gov. Roes having jost expired, Esquire Holt, could not furnish them with the needful."

aa Reported for the Smyrna RAIL ROAD MEETING. the 1 Ax a stated meeting of the citizens of the Town of Smyrna, end its vicinity, held at the Hotel of Tilghraan Foxwell, on Monday evening, Jan. 15th, at o'clock, for the purpose considering the expediency of memorializing the present Legislature to grant a charter with the privilege of constructing a railroad from Smyrna, or some point west of said town, to the waters of the Delaware, Capl. William Denney was unanimously elected Chairman, and Wm. Cummins Secretary.

The chairman then suited the object of the meeting, as published in handbill form; when, On motion of Mr. James L. Bewlcy, the chairman appointed a committee of three, viz: James L. Bow ley, Dan'l Cummins and Wm. Temple, to prepare business for the meeting.

After having retired a short time, said committee reported the following Preamble and Resolutions Whekeas, The advantage of a railroad from Smyrna, or some poms west thereof, to deep water navigation, to be derived by all classes of our citizens, renders it the interest and duty of every citizen to aid such a measure to the extent of his ability, and thus increase our facilities for trade and intercourse. Resolved, That a memorial be prepared and laid before the General Assembly, asking an act of incorporation for a company to be called "The Duck Cheek Railroad Company," with all powers and privileges necessary, but not inconsistent with the Constitution and Laws of this State, und that the capital of said company shall not be less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Resolved, That Isaac Shorts, Jas. D. Wilds, Daniel Cummins, John Mustard, Wm.

Temple and Enoch Spruance, be a committee to prepare and present a memorial to the General Assembly, and procure the passage of an acceptable act of incorporation for the Duck Creek Railroad Company." After some discussion and amendments, the above preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted. On motion, a petition to the Legislature read and passed around for subscribers. was On motion of Mr. Jerman, it was Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Smyrna and Dover newspapers. On motion of Enoch Spruance, the chairman was authorised to call a meeting of the subscribers whenever he may deem it necessary.

And, on motion of D. Lockwood, the meeting then adjourned. to Wm. Cummins, Sec'y. 03" Some of our most prominent citizens took an active part in the proceedings, and with a "Young America" feeling most ably and eloquently discussed the vast importance this contemplated railroad.

The following communication was received too late for last week's paper, but is none the less applicable, as there are many petitions yet Mb. 15lh of the present month is the day fixed upon hy the Temperance Convention of the Sute of Delaware, to hand in temperance petitions to the Legislature, praying them to give us a Prohibitory Law law similar to that of other words, a law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drinks. It behooves every one, then, who is a friend to the cause to exert himself to the utmost between this and that time, in getting or obtaining names to the petitions, will mainly depend upon the array of that we there present. If we are indolent and suffer ourselves to lie supinely on our backs when we should be up and doing, what, better 1 can we expect of the present Legislature than defeat. On the other hand, if we are vigilant as our success names nnd will do our we will secure the namr of all those who are really in favor of Prohibition, success will inevitably crown our efforts.

All, in my humble opinion, the present Legislature needs, is to convince or show to them that we have a decided majority in favor of the enactment of such a law, and we shall get it. On the contrary, if we go there making but a poor show," we shall surely be defeated, and the temperance cause injured. 1 therefore, do think it of the utmost importance, that the petitions be handed to every legal voter in the county for his signature. There are a great many persons who would sign a petition if waited upon, who would not take the trouble to call or wait on you for that purpose. Then, I say, leave not a stone unturned.

I repeat, it is of the utmost importance that every legal voter be waited on with a pelition. What signifies it, if we battle the whole year in the cause of temperance, if when the time for action comes we are found in the rear. I tell you gentlemen, friends of Prohibition, you who take the lead in this matter, you who have borne the heat and burthen of the day, now is your time for action. You will meet with, no doubt, many honorable will not sign your need not expect it otherwise; but persevere. When aur our was en earth, he had his enemies and per-' he would if he was here now.

suppose it is alt right. Bat it.is to me the most superfluously ridiculous thing that any moral, intelligent, good-meaning man, should be opposed to the passage of a law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drinks. 1 never could comprehend never want to. The evils of intemperance have been portrayed to you a hundred times, in the moat glowing terms, to have the beneficial influences of a Prohibitory Law, yet you will not understand. You know the right and you approve it too.

You condemn the wrong though yet the wrong pursue." Like Ephraim they are joined to their them alone. The temperance question, sir, is decidedly the most important question that is now before the Legislature. When compared with all others, they eink into almost utter in. significance. Then, I say give us a Prohibitory law that will raiaa tba people in point of morality, at leaat fifty par and if wa uu)d bava the money that is Dow worse than wasted for nun, expended in general and the imprere- 8.

ment of the soil, our condition as a people would be infinitely better. If it should then, I for one will be in favor of repealing law. But, until the experiment is tried, if may so term it, I shall be found on the side of Prohibition. You might as well undertake to convince me (if it was possible to be done,) that an act of the Legislature to do away with lying, roguery and cheating, and substituting for it honesty, integrity and propriety, would not do, as to convince me that a Prohibitory Law will not do. Then 1 say, in the name of common sense, let us have the law.
