Thomas's Massachusetts Spy, Or, Worcester Gazette

The President's Inaugural Address, although of unusual length, we have published entire, presuming many of our readers may wish to preserve it. He has improved the opportunity, which such an unofficial paper has afforded him, of vindicating the course of policy he has hitherto pursued, and of explaining the views with which he again enters upon the discharge of the duties of his office.

We are glad to find that he is determined to persevere in his policy towards South America, notwithstanding the efforts of Mr. Clay to force him from his course. It will be perceived he intimates the possibility of our being compelled to change, in some measure, our domestick policy. The advocates for the new Tariff and its consequent measures will, we suppose, derive some encouragement from this intimation.

The Richmond Enquirer, in speaking of the Address, after stating that it had disapproved of some of the acts of Mr. Monroe's past administration, his tour, &c. and that the term upon which he has now entered "fills one with some fears and with many hopes," closes its notice of the speech as follows: "The sceptre is about to depart from dah. Mr. Monroe is a Virginian. He is the last of those men from Virginia who, for a long time, may guide the helm of state. Other men may come in, perhaps, with other views. Be it the height of his ambition to set admirable examples before them of attachment to the rights of the States and the rights of the people. Let it not hereafter be said, 'such a thing was done by James Monroe—such an abuse was tolerated by him—and why complain of us?' "
