" Tho Vice President Of the u. States,
JOHN TYLER, arrived at Washington on the
9th inst, and on the next day, having taken
the oath OF office, entered upon the duties OF
President. The Alexandria Gazette saws i,
is understood that the Cabinet of Gen. HAIR.
alsoN will remain in office with the full con.
fdence of the new President, and that he
Will carry out, fully and completely, the prin-
eiPles and views of Gen. HARRISON, having
given oil the measures Of the departed patriot,
from his inaugural address, down to the last
act Of his public life, his unqualified approval.
BIZ. TYLER commences his administration
lIenlarks the Gazette,) with deep sense of
the unexpected responsibility that has been
thrown upon him.
The following extract of letter written
by Mr.. Tyler in October last, in reply to
some inquiries addressed to him by several
gentlemen ct the Van Buren, party in
Charleston, S. c., possesses particular inter-
est OF this moment, as showing the harmony
OF sentiment which subsisted between him
and Gen. HARRISON in regard to the principal
subjects ofreform. Mr.. TYLER has now only
TO act out these sentiments to secure for his
administration generous and hearty SUPPORT.
The great body Of the people, in despite of
interested politicians, will be disposed to give
him a fair trial
%! unhesiiatingly declare it as my firm con-
viction that VIM. II. Harrison is qualified to
guard and promote the liberties and happi-
ness OF his country, because he is the stern
and unflnching advocate Of popular rights,
and the incorporating opponent Of the
bold and daring assumptions of powers which
nave OF late years been claimed and cxercis
Cd by the Chief Executive Magistrate of this
Union; because he regards the public offices
OF the country as created for the benefit and
advantage OF the People, and not for the po-
htlcal advantage ofthe 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
chlef recommendation is to be found in his
being noisy and ciamorous dernagogue and
partlzan-because he would carry with him
into the Administration the principles of JEFF
ferson, and would require Of the office-hold-
ers to abstain from interfering in the cleo
mons, anC to bestow close attention 10 their
uutles, In place OF the active paTtizanship
which is now every where exhibited-because
he is committed, by his principles, to recon-
mend and to urge upon Congress the adoption
of such measures as will ultimate in com
uniting the custody Of the public monies to
other hands than the Presidents so as effec. |
tnally to separate the Purse from the Sword |
because he is in favor of economy in the |
public expenditures, in opposition TO that
wasteful course Of extravaganza which has
,aused the public expenditures to increase in
ten years, from $4,000, 900, exclusive of the
payment the public debt, to near $40, OOO,-
DOC annually'-because he is the sworn enemy
70 corruption, and the lover of virtue--because l.
IN his election and by his example, will be
established and secured that greatest of all
reforms, without which the effort at reforma-
lion 10 hopeless, viz: the limiting for all fn.
tnre time, the Presidential term Of service TO :
a single term Of four years--and because he
IS an honest rnan, Republican in principle,
and patriot in practice. might find other 4
reasons IN the history Of bis past life-a life
devoted to the service Of his country--but
have fully answered your enquiries.
Having responded fully and freely to your
enquiries,
( um, gentlemen,
Your most ob't serv't,
