with being Federalist. deny that ] ever

in the school of Anti Federalism" &c. &C.
These sentiments are decidedly at variance
with the doctrines of the Proclamation, and
are but recently expressed. All, therefore that
l can say TO you, is, that | do not doubt that If
you will apply to him for information upon the
subjects referred 10 in your question, he will
promptly give it and take leave to recon-
mend that you persue the same course towards
Mr. Van Buren,.
0. Whether Gen. Harrison would veto a
charter for Bank Of the U. States, have no
other knowledge than that given by him 10
the public in his letter to Sherrod Williams,
and in his Dayton speech. That he denies to
the Government the right to abolish slavery
in the District of Columbia without the con-
sent ofthe States of Virginia and Maryland,
and the People of the District, is sufficiently
proven by bis letter to Judge Berrien, already
quoted. That he denies to Congress all pow
er over slavery in the District, is proven by
the same letter, and many speeches of his in
print.-That while he believes the power to
exist in Congress 10 construct roads and ca
nails, yet that he no longer believes it prudent
or expedient to exercise it, he has repeatedly
declared-and his determination to adhere to
the principles of the compromise act, he has
also declared.
10. ! unhesitatngly declare it as my firm
conviction, that William Henry Harrison is
qualified to guard and promote the liberties
and happiness of his country, because he is the
stern and unfinching advocate of popular
rights, and the uncompromising opponent Of
the bold and daring assumptions of powers
which have of late years been claimed and
exercised by the Chief Executive Magistrate
of this Union-because he regards the public
offices OF the country as created for the bene-
fit and advantage Of the People, and not for
he political advantage of the President, and
in that spirit, utterly denies the right, on the
part OF the President, to remove from Office
one "who is honest, capable and faithful! to the
Constitution" TO make way for another, whose
chief recommendation is TO be found in his
being noisy and clamorous demagouge and
par,izsn--because he would carry with him into
the Administration the principles of Jefferson,
and would require of the Office holders 10 alb
stain from interfering in the elections, and TO
bcstow close attention to their duties, in
place OF the active partnership which is now
every where exhibited-because he is commit
ed, by his principles, 10 recommend and to
urge upon Congress the adoption Of such meas
ures as will ultimate in the committing the
custody of the public monies to other hands
than the Presidents so as effectualy 10 sepa-
rate the Purse and the Sword-becanse he is
in favor Of economy in the public expenditures
in opposition to that wasteful course ofextrav-
agance which has caused the public expendi-
lures TO increase in ten years, from $4,000
0,exclusiye ofthe payment ofthe public debt,
10 near Si0,00O,O00 annually-because he is
the sworn enemy to corruption. and the lover
of virtue-because in his election and by his
example, will be established and secured that
greatest Of all reforms, without which, the ef-
fort at reformation is hopeless, viz: the limit
ing for all future time, the Presidential term Of
service to single term of four years-and be-
cause he is an honest man, Republican in
principle, and patriot in practice. ] might
find other reasons in the history Of his past
life--a life devoted 10 the service OF his coun-
iry--but have fully answered your enquiries.
Having responded fully and freely to your
enquiries,
| am, gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant
TOHN TYLER.
