ENDORSING A LIE.

OUR CONDITION..

Since the death of Washington, our country
has not been covered with so deep gloom as
that which will now overspread it. Nay, iha
was only sorrow and regret for the departure o.
the Father of his country, after he had laid aside
| the cares Of State, and retired to Mount Vernon
no more to return to public life, there to sinl
| from the Immortality Of the present into the i'm
mortality Of the future.
Now, the nation has been suddenly bereavet
of one on whom its affections and hopes hat
|centered for future action and usefulness. The
fourth of March, lS4l, was the happiest day
this republic has seen since the peace which es
tabshed our national independence. Just one
month from that day the man, whose Inaugural
ton TO the Presidency had given so much JOY
land sent forth gratulations over the wide coun
| try and over the world, is numbered with the
dead
The shock will be universal as was the glad
ness. The wall Of lamentaton follows quick in
the track of the joyous tidings, and the tide OF
sorrow rolls over the land to deluge the hopes
that had so recently preceded. Not since the
nations birth has this happy country been SC
suddenly or so deeply overwhelmed with grief.
1t will be solemn pause-a pause of bust
ness, of pleasure, of political schemes, of am
bilious projects, of the old and young, and of al
"a pause Of the nation in its career.
But we have one consolation: The principles
which raised William Henry Harrison TO the
Presidency of the United States, will now be
|consecrated in the hearts of the people who
placed him there, by the tears they will shed
over his grave. Death and sorrow are the
strongest tie which binds US in respect and affec.
Ition to the virtues principles, and character OF
/ those we have loved and revered. They-pul
THE last seal, never to be broken, on the sympa-
|thies of our being. They have lived and died
for u.s. their shining path becomes the light of
our footsteps f.; and though we may err, their
cherished memory will call us back.
The last and dying charge of our deceased and
amented Chief Magistrate, "See that the true
principles of this Government are carried out, y
knowing as all do what he meant, will not be
forgotten. II will be the text of our statesmen,
and the demand of public sentiment That zeal
for reform which carried the nation, and that
enthusiasm which has exuted in the events that
have followed, will now be deeply imbedded in
all hearts whose JOY is turned into mourning,
and when their days of grief are rast, they will
stand firm upon the platform established by these
[events.
