What Gen. Harrison was, whnt he had done' I
md would do, we all knew, and there was
great pledge in the simple grandeur, ana |
6ro,,t;t,,I unity of his past life-but of Mr.. /
TYLER, of his associations, Wishes purposes, |
and opinions, we know much less; ana
doubt, therefore, hangs over the future Tor
him only to diSpel So sudden and 50 uneX-
pected an event has made hun Chief MNgiS-
trate. that we can scarcely realize 1t. There
can. however, be no change in the Cabinet,
formed by the hand of Gen. Harrison, OF
men able. wise, and respected, and no
change in the principles which Gen. HarrI-
son would have carried outs- or was chosen
to carry out i: and thus when Mr.. Tyler as"
sulnes the direction of the Government ne
finds the ship of state full rugged, and al! san
set, The HELM all ready for him. An Extra
session is called The measures to be pro-
posed must have been already resolved up
on. Mr.. TYLER ceases to be :he man OF u
State, and becomes the man of natLon.-
He belongs now not to- one section, Out 10
all. The field before him is one in which ne
can win eternal honor. .i. ,, ,gs
The members of the Cabinet deeply feel
this affection in the loss OF the good man,
who had no interest to subserve but that OF
harmonizino them. and of benetitiing his
country. They feel wo undoubtedly, that
they have lost the prestige OF great and MS
torical name. -e'5f0.
Mr.. Tyler is a man past SO years of age,
and at early life run the round OF nearly ali
the honor of Virginia. From the state rep
resentative to the Gubernatorial Chalr, nc
has filled nearly all places, always with hon
or. Tn his manners, in conversation, in his
general department, he is man of tact. He
will do the rhonors of the White House even
better than Gen. Harrison. 1t is highly
probable that the present occupants OF that
establishment will soon retrace their steps TO
the West, though it is to be presumed. Mr..
Tyler will urge their stay. It is to be hoped
that all men Of all parties will unite IN voting
the family of Gen. Fl. the full years salary.
Unless it be done, it is highly probable the
anticipations ofthat by Gen. ii. himself VIII
tality while here has been unbounded. HIS
house was open to every body His expen-
ses already, therefore, must have been large,
to say nothing of expenses and the derange-
ment Of calculations made at home upon tue
presumption of such an income.
The body of Gen. Harrison has been ex-
posed to-day in the large front Hall OF the
White House, in coffin upon table. Inc
whole population about here visited it.

firmly and happily over it-who have heard |

The express which brought Vice-Presi-
dent, now President, Tyler here, moved with |
great rapidity. Mr.. Fletcher Webster lett
Sunday morning, 5 A. M. reached Richmond
r. M.-chartered the steamboat sold Do

starting at 10 p. nj. Sunday night, brought |
him there at s A. NJ. Monday--whence att
where Mr., Tyler and his family reside. He
i ies &eaad w rs' as letters from Richmond from
physicians, announcing that man OF the
attack of the bilious pleurisy, had IN some
degree prepared him to expect it. iotsHy"
Mr.. Tyler was ready at 10 o'clock on
Monday to leave home, and at 6 P. N. he
left Richmond, the cars and the mail having
been detained for him. He reached this city
at 4 this, Tuesday morning. Mr.. Tyler stops
at Browns. Mr.. Webster has travelled 40O
miles in Al hours. .'''' ID ''.. -.""'''' @.,.'s
The members of the Cabinet met during
the morning in consultation with MIR. Tyler.
Since his arrival here, anxiety is much re-
lieved, for he wishes to change nothing, up
proves of all that hos been done, and seeks
chiefly to carry out the measures Of Gen.
Harrison, and the will of the people that
elected him. In this, it is important that the
wings of the country also manifest their will.
The revolution begun under the auspices OF
Harrison must be carried out. The wings
must call upon his Cabinet and his success
sor to carry it out, They must urge them
on, and back them up, in maintaining the
principles but consecrated by the death OF
Harrison, bequeathed by him to them, in his
last moments, and with his very last words.
Mingling with our regrets, must be our re-
solves for UNION. All discord and signs of
discord must be checked. Old Virginia and
Old Massachusetts now have the two highest
places of the Government, and as IN the old
revolution, so in the new, theymust Gcttogether.
Though there is no doubt that Mr.. Tyler
has all the power of q President. vet there is
some whether he has the real name. This
being the first case that has occurred Under
the constitution, many questions arise.
No business is done in the Public Offices.
Grape is hung on the doors. The arrange
ments for the funeral occupying all minds.
Many of the stores too are hung with Grape.
and also the public places. The signs Of
mourning arc general. .-.@.......
