The National Inielligencer, Of same
date. says: II we may be permitted, FOR
amomen,, 10 withdraw our thoughts from
The affecting dispcnsation which has so
suddenly overwhelmed the country, and
to cast hasty glance at the future, we
would seize the occasion Of announcing
she new Presidents arrival al the seat Of
government, 20 congratulate the country
that, under The happy operation Of our
system Of government, the chief Execu-
tive power deyolyes so quietly and peace
ably from the hands OF one citizen 10 those
of another; and more especially to con-
graduate the country thai he who now
succeeds the LATE President Harrison is
not only a man Of honor, Of talent, and
character, well known 70 the country, but
that he owes his elevation 70 the high
place. he now fills 10 the prevalence Of
those same principles which put Presi-
dent Harrison in that place before him.
President Tyler i Whig-a true Wing;
and we risk nothing in expressing our en-
tire confidence that he will fulfil, in all
their extent, the expectations Of the pco-
pie when they bestowed on him an Office
from which il was possible, as they knew,
he might be elevated TO the Chief Magis-
tracy Of the Union. He is pledged 10
this, not only BY his high character, but
BY his known sentiments and his unspot-
ted patriotism.
On the other hand, we risk as little in
predicting that the great majority Of the
people Of the country viii give to him at
once and in advance their full confidence
and entire support, not doubling in any
degree that nc will prove himself a true
exponent Of those great principles for
which they have so long struggled, and
struggled at last successfully.
