ADDRESS.
OF the Republican Wing Party Of Riehland District,
TO their fellow citizens of the State of South Ca.
rolna, relative TO the accession of Mr. TYLER IN

disPensaon OF the overriding Providence of
God. having removed from the elevated station of
the Presidency OF the United States, TO which
nations gratitude had borne him. the virtuous ma.
r'otic and beloved HARRISON. and under tbs
Constitution, JOHN TYLER having been clothed
with the honors and invested with all the great re-
spons'biitIes OF that very proud and most distin-
suished position, an expression OF our opinions in
relation 10 HIM and his Administration, becomes %.
Propriate and necessary. While a feeling of deem
and mOurntul regret peTvadeS the bosom of the A.
merIcan people, IN consequence Of the demise of
President Harrison, so recently entered uDon the
vast Fed of his iabors and responsibilities from
The able and honest discharge of which his coun.
trymeh expected to result invaluable blessings 10
themselves personally, and increased glory 10 their
political institutions II Is source OF rich and IeOi
umste consolation TO the Wing party Of the Gov.
eminent, as well as cause OF much gratitude 10 the
Great DIsposer OF all things, that John Tyler Of
Virginia, very Pharisee in the sirictness of mis- OBJ
seryAnee o. the mperishabe principles and doctrines
OF State Rights, by operation OF the fundamental
law, has been advanced 10 the Executive Chair of
: the Union. IL Is true VIM. Henry Harrison was
FIRST IN the hoaris Of his eOuHtrVmear because
he had been among the irst with his country in
war and 10 peace; had fought her battles and aided
and enlightened her Councils But II the s,se and
patriot OF North Bend was FIRST in the affections
am confidence ofthe people IN the great struggle for
reform Just past, John TYLER YVES SECOND ami
along with the former TO the FIRST they bore the !a,-
ter IN triumph 10 the second highest Office known 10
the Constitute Nor was this even the resul, Of
Sc ilsh party combination and arrangement nor the
rash and hasty impulse OF party zeal without aim
and purpose well considered. In the solemn Judo
ment Of the whole country the men and the mea
sures OF the late Administration of Mr. Van Buren
mad become corrupt and dangerous, so corrupt and
so dangerous, as to excite well grounded fears thar
they would terminate IN the subversion OF our free
institutions and while Gen. Harrison WAS selected
rs the very huest OF men TO purge the rotten
ness and restore the original pure principles of the
government, let u be remembered that John TYLER 1
was esteemed worthy 10 be the consolidate of that
lIustnous patriot as the second officer OF the coun.
try IN the great work OF reforming and re-esabIish
ing our most admirable political Institutions upon
the basis OF their pristine purity and vigor Gen
Harrison was the Wing President of the People

IN which his accession to the Presidency has been

there IS rejoicing for Tyler and the mournlul C,ie

strated that the Wings of the Union by whose nm |
paralleed eNertions the formidable and most dan

routed and dispersed, were well informed Of the
PoHtieai idlih and principles Of the man upon whom
they were about 10 bestOw the honors Of the Vice
Presidency Every body knew Gov Tyler AMI
sections knew him; and should the sad CONTINGENCY
contemplated by the Constitution Of a vacancy in |

Then by the united voices Of the East, and North,
The South and the West, the destiny of our yreat
country was to be conhded 70 the hands of the hon
