He referred to his trip to Washington, and dwelt with great pleasuife on the various efforts of the people along the route to do him honor.

Baker, and in a fervid and impressive manner delivered his address. At its conclusion the customary oath was administered by the venerable Chief Justice Taney, and he was now clothed with all the powers and privileges of Chief Magistrate of the nation. He accompanied Mr. Buchanan to the White House and here the historic bachelor of Lancaster bade him farewell, bespeaking for him a peaceful, prosperous, and successful administration. One who witnessed the impressive scene left the following graphic description of the inauguration and its principle incidents: Near noon I found myself a member of the motley crowd gathered about the side entrance to Willard's Hotel.
