The address of President Tyler to the people of
the United States, will be found in this paper. The
people Of the United States have, since the ascen-
dency of the party in power, been anXlousy looking
for fall and clear exposition Of the principles to he
pursued by it. This exposition not furnished by
the inaugural Of the late President, nor is it more
clearly Swallowed forth in this document In saying
this, we have no disposition to find fluit nreasona-
bly,; we say i. because haze looked IN vain in
the address for expressed belief in the efficacy Of
any particular free from the evils which
have been told the acts of the prev ious adninis
traton brought upon us. There appears 10 be in
disposition 10 take the responsibility upon the part
Of those who expected to it, why, we are
not prepared to say. The general professions con-
tanned in the address very good, far they co.
and viii no doubt meet with hearty approval, but
IL would have been much more satisfactory, had the
Presidents views with regard TO the questions which
have agitaed and do agilao the public mind, been
expressed beyond controversy. Perhaps however,
we had right to expect this perhaps the Presi-
dent does intend 10 disclose his peculiar views
make any recommendations Congress, but give his
sanction 10 any constitutional measure adopted by
Congress, regardless of his sentiments The
subject. This believe was the intention express
ed by President Harrison, and upon a closer
nation of President Tyler's address, we find a sen
tencc which would seem 10 confirm the idea that
such is his intention. Speaking ofthe currency SC
heTsays. I" shall promptly give sanction 10 any con
stltrtional measure which originating in Congress-
sc. From the manner in which the y ord ''orgina-
ting is used it would appear that in his opinion
Congress such measures must originate without re
commentator from the Executive. If this is the
case, wait for exposition Of the prnc les
Of the party, until developed IN Congress.
1t will be inferred from the remarks the public
debts, &c that the President is rather in favor ofd
taxation than any other resort for meeting
gencies.

That now no mist Of Garth can blind

Thy grave is on foreign strand,
Thy tomb is in distant land;
No human came, no friend was near
TO close thy eye and deck thy bier:
But friends shall gather round thy tomb,
And long lament thy early doom;
And thither shall science oft repair,
To plant hcr choicest laurcls there.
