THE ACTING PRESIDENT.

An unlocked for National pavement hav.
ing placed the elected Vice President at the
head of the administration, all thoughts are Of
course anxiously directed TO the inquiry wheth.
er this event is likely to be productive of any
change in the line of policy which had been
marked out by the late lamented Chief Magis-
trate. We are glad to be able in the two SUBJ
joined articles to give a satisfactory response
to this inquiry. 1t will be seen that entire
confidence is reposed in Mr.. Tyler by those
who have an opportunity of knowing thorough
ly his views and feelings. Though dead, Gen.
HARRlsoN's principles and policy will be carri-
ed out.
OPrNtoN's OF Mr.. TYLER.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Baltimore American, of De-
cember I'd, $780,
THE VICE PREsIDENT.--Some gentleman of
Charleston, S. c., belonging to the Van Buren,
party, have addressed letter of inquiry to the
Hon. John Tyler, in view of the possibility
that he may be called upon to fill the Chief Ex-
ecutive chair.
The concluding portion Of Mr.. Tyler's letter
in answer runs thus.
81 unhesitatingly declare it as my firm con-
viction that William Henry Harrison is quail
fled to guard and promote the liberties and hap
piness of his country; because he is the stern
and unfinching advocate Unpopular rights, and
the Incorporating opponent of the bold and
daring assumptions of powers which have of
late years been claimed and exercised by the
Chief Executive Magistrate of this Union; be-
cause he regards the public Offices of the coun-
try as created for the benefit and advantage of
the people, and not for the political adv antage
of the President, and in that spirit, utterly de-
MES the right, on the part of the President, to
remove from office one "who is honest, capa-
BILE and faithful to the Constitution" to make
way for another whose chief recommendation
is to be found in his being noisy and clamor-
Gus demagogue and partisan; because he would
carry with him into the Administration the
principles of Jefferson, and would require of
the onice-holders to abstain from interfering in
the elections, and to bestow close attention to
their duties, in place of the active partnership
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 the CON-
hitting the custody of public moneys to other
hands than the Presidents so as effectually TO
separate the purse from the sword; because he
is in favor of economy in the public expendi-
lures, in opposition 10 that wasteful course of
extravaganza which has caused the public ex-
penditures to increase in Ten years from $l3,-
600, 900, exclusive of the payment of the pub
lie debt, tonear $40, 600, 900 annually; because
he is the sworn enemy to corruption, and the
lover of virtue; because in his election, and by
his example, will be established and secured
that greatest of all reform, without which the
effort of reformation is hopeless, viz: the linn
iting for all future time tho Presidential term
of service to a single term of four years: and
because he is an honest man, republican in
principle, and patriot in practice. might
