The Hawk-eye and Iowa patriot. (Burlington, Iowa) 1839-1843, 1841-04-22

A very large concourse Of citizens at.
tended the meeting, yesterday, to make
arrangements for paying proper respec,
to the memory OF ::he' late President.
Men of all classes and parties were IN at
tendance and united in the proceedings.
A universal gloom appeared to pervade
the Assembly. All seemed impressed
with the momen.ous character of the oc.
casion. The low whisper the silence
and respectful attention of the crowd, the
absence of all levity, would of them
selves, have told the observer that the
occasion which had brought the multi
tude together was death. All feelings
but those of grief for the nations loss and
respect for the memory of the deceased,
were laid aside, and the people came to.
gether as band of brothers. to weep
over the nations calamity.-tS Louis

ana we observe that the Globe, with lis
usual industry, has commenced the at.
tempt. and ina long article ascribes opiin-
ions and views to Mr'Tyler, which we do
not believe he entertains. This attemnt
was TO be expected, bnt. if the friends of
Gen. HARRISON are true TO. themselves.
true to the success of their measures, true
TO the administration and the men who
constitute the Cabinet, all will be well.

conviction that William Henry Harrison

vocate of popular rights, and the uncom-
promising opponent Of the bold aud dar-
ing assumptions of powers which have of
Hate years been claimed and exercised by
ithe Chief Executive Magistrate of this
Union, because he regards the public Off
GERS of the country as created for the ben

Emove from Office one 'swho is honest, ca
pable and faithful to the Constitution to

a noisy and clamorous demagogue and

him into the Administration the princi-
pies of Jefferson, and would require of
the office holders to abstain from interfer-
: ing in the elections, and to bestow a&close
attention to their duties, in place of the
active partizanshlp which is now every

to urge upon Congress the adoption of
such measures as will ultimate in the
committing the custody ofthe public mo-

lnsthe second place, he has had ar
interview with the members of the Cabi
met to-day, and declared to them, spon.
|taneously, that he wished them all to
continue in Office, and to proceed to the
administrative operations of the Govern.

President.
Thus far I think is well.

lat Washington, who, speaking of the
death Of Harrison, says, !" various are
the opinions as to the consequences OF
the Wing party. For my own part,
am satisfied that Gov. Tyler will carry

ty. he has OF late, understand, adop-
ted MrtMadison's views in relation to a
bank and other great measures. After
the shock is over, everything will move
ION tremendously" Our correspondent,
is undoubtedly correct. Gov. Tyler is
IA high-souled man; a patriot and if he
consents to act as President, he will most
|assurediy give his aid to the carrying on,
the measures of the party that elect.
led him. The Cincinnati Republican,
whose late editor is at Washington, says:
T. No change will occur in the public
administration of affairs. This we know
from the highest authority. Mr. Tyler
Isympathizes fully in Presiden. Harri
sons views and will carry them out with
IA fidelity and firmness which nothing can

From the Madisonian,

The Circular to the Office Holders.
AS many persons protesting Jeflersoni-
an democracy with their lips, affect to re.
gard the late circular as anti-republican
and tyrannical, we think it may be useful
Here to remind them of the views and
practice of two former Presidents whom
they profess to respect. The circular
breads in the footsteps of Jefferson, and
carries out the views of Jackson, as the
following extracts will serve to show:
Mr. JEFFERSON'S CIRCULAR.
Ertract- from Mr. Jeferson's Circular
addressed to office holders under HIM.
self. "
'.'lhe Presiden. of the United States
has seen with dissatisfaction, officers of
the General Government, taking OH varl-
|ous occasions, active parts in the elections
|of public functonaries, whether OF the
General or State Government. Freedom
|of election being essential to the mutual
independence Of Government, and OF the
different branches of the same Governs
|ment, so vitality cherished by most of our
constituents, it is deemed improper for Of
Ulcers depending on the Executive of the
Union, to attempt to control or influence
the free exercise of the elective right. Ii
lis expected that no officer will attempt to
Influence the votes Of other men, nor take
ANY part in the business of electioneerlng
