of the Vice President from the Seat Of Go.

ment known 10 the country, BY this declar.
ton under our hands.
He died, a, the Presidents House. in Ibis
city, this fourth day Of April. Ammo Domi-
nj, lS4l, at thirty minutes before l o'clock
in the morning.
The people Of the United States, over
wheImed, like ourselves, by an event so
unexpected and so melancholy. will derive
consolation from knowing that his death
was calm aud resigned, as his life has heen
patriotic, useful, aud distinguished; and
that the last u,,erance Of his lips expressed
a fervent desire for The perpeluity of the
Constitution. aud the preservation Of lis
true principles. Iu death, as in life, The
happiness Of his country was uppermost in
his thoughts.

Thus has gone down to the Tomb, thisl
illuslrious man, full Of years and houors.|
But little month since, and he was the!
Chief Magistrate of great and powerful
nation; the Head Of nearly twenty millions
of enlightened freemen. A few days since.
he was the " observed of all observers"
the fountain of honor-a light set on hill
a bright particular star, on which menI
might gaze, and rejoice in his beams. But
his light is now quenched in the deep dark
ness Of the grave, forever. We would no,l
on the present solemn occasion, indulge nl
any reflection which might SAVIOR in the
least degree, of unkindness, to the illustrious
dead. We adopt as ours, the ancient max
i'm "de mortius nil nisi bonum." Let no.
thing be said ofthe departed, unless to their
praise. In common with other Democra-
tic editors, we opposed the political princi-
Piles of General HARRISON. But in can
vassins freely, his opinions on public mat
iers, it was ever our desire, "nolhing tol
extenuate, nor to set down aught in ma
lice" A great people elevated him to The
first Office in their gift, and we fel, it ourI
