Several Newspaper Accounts of President Andrew Jackson's First Inauguration
1.
The Daily National Intelligencer, Washington, D.C., March 4, 1829
The inauguration of the new President is to take place to-day at the Capitol. There will be
no military array upon the occasion, but such as is voluntary. A vast assembly of the
People, however, from every part of the country, will attend the ceremony. There is to be a
Ball in honor of the occasion, in the evening, at Carusi's Assembly Rooms. The great
concourse of strangers in the city, at this season, has attracted hither a proportionate
number of those who live by depredations upon society. As a caution to others, it may be
useful information, that a gentleman from one of the Southern States had his pocket picked,
in the Theatre last night, of a pochet-book containing eight hundred dollars; and we should
not be surprised to learn that others than he were equally unfortunate.
