by Gen.fIarrlson President Ty Ter recommends
a repeal Of the Sub Treasury, a regulation OF
the Currency, rigid economy in the public
expenditures, that the Army and Navy be fos-
tered. and the public defences generally increa-
sed. He is opposed 10 the Treasury Note sys-
tenn, as also TO a permanent debt; but evidently
in favor an increased revenue tariff to meet cur
rent expenses and pay up afrearages. On the
subject OF the currency he is very explicit

that the vote was not in consequence of any antcpa-

OFFICIAL.
WAN DEPARTMENT,

II is with feelings of the deepest sorrow
that the Secretary Of War announces TO the
Army, the death Of tho President of the Uni
ted States. WILLIAM llEHRY HARRISON is no
more. His long and faithful services in many
subordinate but important stations, his recent
elevation to tho highest in honor and power,
and the brief term allotted 10 him in the enjoy
ment of it, are circumstances Of themselves
which must awaken the liveliest sympathy in
every bosom; but these are only personal con-
| sderations. The dlspensation is heaviest and
most affecting on public grounds.
THIS calamity has bciallen the country at a
period Of general anxiety for its present and some
apprehension for It's future Conditional time
when t is most desirable that ali its high Offices
should be filed and all its high trusts admins
tered in harmony, wisdom, and vigor. The
generosity ofcharacter ofthc deceased, the con-
splcuous honesty OF his principles and purposes,
together with the skill and frmness with which
he maintained them in all situations, had won
for him the affection and confidence of his cou,,-
trynlen; hut at the moment when BY their voce
he was raised to a station in the discharge OF
the powers and duties of which the most bene.
fetal results might justly have been anticipated
from his great cxperlnce, his sound jutgment,the
high estimation in which he was held by the
People, and his unquestioned devotion to the
| Constitution and to the Unio.., it has pleased an
all wise but mysterious Providence to remove
elm suddenly from that ard every other earthly
employment.
While the officers and soldiers of the Army
share in the general grief which these consider
atoms SO naturally and irrcss;ably inspire, they
will doubtless be penetrated with increased
sensihility, and feel deeper concern in testify
ing, in the manner appropriate to them, the full
measure OF a nations gratitude for the eminen,
services Of tie departed patriot, and in rendering
just and adequate honors TO his memory, because
he was himself soldier and an approved one
receiving his earliest lessons in a camp, and
when in riper years, called to the command o
armies, illustrating the profession Of arms by hi
personal qualities, and contributing largely, b,
his success, to the stock Of his country's glory.
Ii is to be regretted that the sudlcnness Of tn,
emergency has made ii necessary to announce
this sad event in the absence of the Vice Presi
dent from the seat OF Government; but TIT
greatest confidence is felt that he will cordially
approve the sentiments espresso, and that h
will, in due time, give directions for such othc
marks OF respect no, prescribed By the existing
regulations OF the Army as may he dcmande
by the occasion.
