DEATH OF PRESIDENT HARRISON It is with feelings of the deep est sorrow, that we publish the annexed Circular an nouncing the death of President HIAatsoNw. CITY OF WAsUINGToN, April 4, 18d1. An all-wise Providence having suddenly removed from this life WILLIAM Haa Haaatson, late President of the United States, we have thought it otur duty, in the recess of Congress, and in the absence of the Vice President from the Seat of Go vernment, to make this afflicting bereave ment known to the country, by this declar tion under our hands. lie died, at the President's House, in this city, this fourth day of A pril. Anno Domi mni, 1841, at thirty minutes before 1 o'clock in the morning. The people of the United States, over whelmed, like ourselves, by an event so unexpected and so melancholy, will deriv'e consolation from knowing~ mhba his dleathl wias calm gund resigned, as his life has beetn patriotic, useftul, atnd di~tinguished; and that the last utterance of his lip's ex pre-sed a fervent desire for the perpetnity of the Constitution, ntnd the preservation or iit. true principles. In death, as in life, thn happiness of his country was uppermost in his thoughts. DANIEL WEBSTER, hecretary of State. THOMAS EWING, Secretary of the Treasury. JOHN BELL, Secretary of 15ar. 3. 3. CRITTENDEN, Attorney General.^ FRANCIS GRANGER, Postmaster General. Thus has gone down to the Tomb, this illustrious matn, full of years and honors. But a little month since, and lie was the .Chief Magistrate of a great and powerful_ nation; the Head of nearly twenty millions of enlightened freemen. A few days sitnce, lhe was the " observed of all observers," the fountain of honor-a light set on a hill-I ..a bright particular star, -on which men might gaze, and rejoice in his beamsn. Btt his light is now quenched in the deep dark ness of the grave, forever, We would not . on the present solemn occasion, indulge in -any reflection which might savor in the least degree,of unkindness, to the illustrious dead. We adopt asours, the ancient max i "de mortius nil nisi bonum." Let no * - thing he said of the departed, unless to their praise. In common with other Democra tic editors, we opposed the political princi 'pies of Gener'al HARRIsoN. But in can vassing freely, his opinions on public mar ters, it was ever our desire, "nothing to extenuate, nor to set down aught in ma lice." A great people elevated him to theI -7, duty to bow in acquiesence to the public will. We were prepared to try his Ad ministration, by his measures, and not by our own prejuaiced opinions. We cheer. fully acknowledge, that he was a gallant soldier, and that for a long term ofyears, he did good service to his country. We think that the following brief sketch of the life of the late President, which we have taken froni a cotemporary jourhal, will prove acceptable to our.readers. " WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, late the object of o.ur nation's honors, and inow the subject of-our nation's grief, was born,- at Berkley, an esiate on the James' River, in the county of Charles City, Virginia, on ihe 9th of Feb. 1773. His farthvr, Benja min Harrison, was one of the illustrious band of patriots who signed the Declara tion of Amertcaa Independence, was four times'elected to Congress as a Delegate from Virginia, and in 1782 was chosen Governor ofthat State. He died in 1791, and left his son, the distinguished subject of this obituary tribute, to the guardianship of Robert Morris, the financier, par excel lence, of our revolution. Young H arrisoc was educated-at Hampden, Sydney Col lege, and originally turned his attention tc the study of Medicine, but was diverted tc the military service by a patriotic and hu mane desire to repress the barbarous incur sions of the Indians on our North-westerv frontiers. The illustrious Washington, then President of the Union, conferred or the youthful hero, in the autumn of 1791, he commission of Ensign in the U. S. Ar tillery, and he conducted himself so wel as to elicit the encomiums of the defeated St. Clair, he promoted to a Lieutenancy and appointed Aid to the victoriou Wayne, who soon wiped ofi'the reproaci: which his less fortunate predecessor hai sufTered to be cast on the American arms He shared in the honors of the giroit victo ry of the Maumee Rapids, which accom plished the final defeat of the Indians; anc was shortly after placed in command n1 Fort Washington, having been promotet to a Captaincy; and there he intermarrici with the daughter of John Cleves Symmes the celebrated founder of the Miami, settle. met:ts. At the close of the year 1797, hi resigned his commission in the army; ant was almost immediately appointed Secre tiary and ex-officio Governor of the N Western Territory, then embracing the whole region North Wet of the Ohio Riv er; and in December, 1799, ho took hit seat in Congress as first Delegate from ihi Territory. In the year 1800, the N. Wes. tern Territory was divided, and the Indi ana Territory was formed, oF which hi was appointed Governor, having shortl3 hefore resigned his seat in Congress ; ant he was also made Superintendent of In riian Aflairs. and Agent and Representativi of the General Government. On the 5t and 6th November, 1811, he fought an< won the celebrated. battle of Tippecanne, with the Indians, under the Prophet, Te cumseh's brother, proving himself a wor thy pupil of the conquoring Wayne. War having been declared against G Bri ain, on the 17th Sept. 1812, he was ap pointed commander in-chief of the north tence-or 2 rtMrg, fistapwri British and IMdian force, and compellet them to raise the siege. A pfer advisin the naval arrangements which led to Per ry's glorious victory on Lake Erie, of th~ 10th of September, he himself, on the 5tl October, won the famous victory of th4 Thames, signalized by the killing of Te cumseh, and the capture of the entire Brit ish army, *iih its baggage, stores an< munitions of war-an honor which fell t< the lot of no other American commandei during the entire contest with our formida, ble adversary. In the spring of 1814, he resigned his commission in the Americarl irmy. In the summer of1814, Presideni Madison- appointed him to treat with the Indians in conjunction with Governor Shel by a~nd Getnerail Cass. In 1816, lie wrat elected-to Congress from 0Ohio, and served until the session of 1819; when, on the ex p~irattion of his term. he was chosen to the Senate of the Sta te Legislature. In 1824. lie was elected a Setnator of thme United States from the State of Ohio; andi in 18 28-as appointed, hy President Adams, lliniietr to Colttmbtia. He was sooti re atled from this misision, by Gen..Jackson. mdt he retired to his farm at the North kndl tf the Ohtio, about fifteen miles be ow Citniatti, where he displayed a 'nk atnd cenerouis hospitality, andim dis :h'irged all the dutties of good citizenship mtd trood neighbiorhood (filling thte office of hem-k of H- amition county, Ohio, until, otn he 4th Mlarch last, he was called, like ~incinanats from his plough, to preside 'ver thme diestinies of a great nation. lBut wvise and mysterious Providence has villed antd ordered it otherwise; and he lied on the 4th of A pril instant, of pleuri y, aged 68 years, one month, and 26 days. The mantle of Executive Office has now allen upon the Yice President, JON Tr. ,ER, of Virginia. M\r. TYLER has gene ally been considered as belonging to the chool of strict Constructinnists. He was thorough Jackson man util the deposites were removed. His opinions on matters of ublic policey, are now of great moment to e country. We sincerely hope that be vill discharge the duties of that very re ponsible office, which has so unexpected y devolved upon him, in a manner most onducive to the public welfare. Diflieul - les and dangers beset our country, within d without, the present is a most critical u-riod; but we pray that the ship of State with our new Palinarus at the helm, may afely ride out the storm which is now ;athering around us. The following Preamble and Resolo ions were adopted, unanimously, by the 3ity Council of Charleston, on the 6th st.; which body hadJ been convened by is Honor the Mayor, in consequence of he intelligence which had been received if the death of the President of the iUnited states, They speak the language, it is loped, of every American, and the body em which such lnguage mianas Ae p serves, no he-tanks ow constituent bu forthieitizesoft State at large.

True uninterrunted health of the deceased pa I riot, his' robust constitutio~ and activc strength, up to the last week pthis life, had left his countrymen nothing..o wish and nothing to fear in regard either to his bodi ly or mental capacity for the able discharge of the high trust to which he was called. The tcnsofthousandsofcitizens who assem bled to witness the ceremony of his inau guiration felt, in the clear tones of his trum pet voice, an assurance that he possessed health and strength equal t.o the arduous duties which lay before him. But ii promrise and this confidence was soon te sulier a sad reverse. The week before laat, pursuing the practice of his active life, and his habit of early rising and exercise, the President, in the course of a long walk be fore breakfast, waes overtaken by a slight shower, and got wet. The following day he fclt symopioms of indisposition, which were followed by pneumonia, or bilious pleurisy, which ultimatelyibaffled all me dical skill, and terminated his virtuous, useful, and illustriouslife od Sunday morn. Intg, after an illness of eigh .days. He ex pired a little oifter midnigh surrounded by those members of his famlly in the city, ihe members of his Cabinet, and many personal friends. Immediately after his demise, the members of tlye Cabinet retir edl, and drew up and signfd the, above an nunciation, and caused it to be published. In the coturse of Saturday the President a ppeared so much better a to inspire hopes that his disease would .~ subdued, but about fotir P. MI. a suddes and very unfa vorable change took place and he continu ed to sink until death clostd the scene. The last time the Preslkent spoke was at nine o'clock-n little nore than threc C hours before he expired~ and the wvords which he then uttered wee so remarkable that they deserve io be reorded and re nembered. While Dr. Vorthington and 2ne or t wo other attendans wvere standing over him, having just adninisiered to his -omfort, he cleared his thoat, as if desir ng to speak audibly, and as though h A fancied himself addressinghis successor or ome official associate in ne Governmebt, aid: "Sia, I wisH ToD '0 UNDEaSTAND pl THE TRUE PRJNcIPLE.S O THE GOVERN- dl ENT. I WISH THEM cIRRIED OUT. I C ASK NOTHiNG MoRE." ~ These his last words a~re uttered in a F distinct voice, and, as the; were well cal- " culated to do, impresse' the genttlemen di present so solemnly thatflr. WVorthington er immediately wvrote thendiown for preser- 7' ation. They present abrief but impres- se tive record of the thought which occupied u! the last mometnts of theleparted patriot, eI and are characteristic ofhie Roman devo- pt tion to his country whih animated him i thotghottt his life, and hone forth even G in the-hour of death. 'hus passed from C life, and from the statirin earth the most ce worthy of a noble ambibO, this good and wise and illustrious cisin. It is not for th us to attempt to dojusiic to the solemnity th of the occasion, or to theleep griefs which- m pervades all hearts. A more fitting and ~ra adequate thatn any thIng which we could tri say we quote the .imnraive lnnanaen n [ered from one oftcur pulpits yesterday by a eloquent Divine: "-The sad intelligence of this morning, my Christian friends, has filled thousands af hearts, and will fill thousands more, with iadness and anxiety. The Chief Magis rateof our Unioniis no more! One short month since, amidst the breathless atten ion of an immense multitude, with clear ud solemn voice, he called God to witness iat he would faithfully discharge the du ies of his thigh office. He has now gone o6appear in the presence pf that God. rhe praises of his friends, the denuncia ions of his enemies, are alike awed into filence before this dispensation of myste -ibus Providence. Amid the busy schem ugs of man the Supreme Ruler has manu fested his power; and we read with trem ling sadness his awful lesson, of the un .ertainty of human life, the emptiness of arthly glory. "You have seen-how recently and iadly'seen that the summit of human pow ir affords no security from the shafts of leath. The illustrious man, lately almost r nation's idol, now lies in the calm deep dlumber which knows no waking till the lial day. Those deeds of service to his lountry which were so familiar to the lips >f thousanda, and that fidelity to his coun y's good, lately so fervently expressed. ind as we trust so sincerely felt-these and all else that graced his character have fbl. owed him to the bar of' the just and the merciful Judge. Before that bar, my friends, ve also are to appear. We know riot how soon. lay we so use the present time as to prepare ourselves for that awful hour." Immediately after the decease of the President, Mr. Webster, Jr., Chief Clerk in the Departmettt of State, accompanied by Mr. Beall, an oflicer of the Senate, snt out for the residence of the Vice President, in Virginia, bearing to him the following letter: "WASaHNGToN, April 4, 1841.

Secretary of War. JOHN J. CRITTENDEN. Attorney General. FRANCIS GRANGER, Postmaster General. OFFICIAL. War Department, WASHINGTON, April 5, 1841. It is with feelings of the deepest sorrow that the Secretary ofWar announces to the Army, the death of the President of the United States, William Henry Harrison. His long and faithful services in many sub ordinate but important stations, his recent elevation to the highest in honor and pow er, and the brief term allotted to him in the enjoyment of it, are circumstances of themselvel which must awaken the live liest sympathy in every bosom; but these are only personal considerations. The dispensation is heaviest and most afflictit on poublic grounds. This great calamni ty has befallen the country at a period of general anxiety for its present, and some apprehension for its future condition-at a tnime when it is most desirable that all its high offices should lie filled, and all its high-i trusts administered in harmony, -is om and vigor. The generosity of char acter of the deceased, the conspicious hon esty of his principles and purposes, togeth er with the skill and firmness with which he maintained them in all situations, had won for him the affection and confidence of his countrymen; but at the moment when, by their voice, he 'i as raised to a station tn the discharge of the powers and duties of which the most beneficial results might justly have been anticipated from his great experience, his sound judgment. the high estimation inwhich he was held by the People, and iis unquestioned devotion to the Constitution and to the Uriion, it has pleased an all-wise but mysterious Provi dence to remove him suddenly from that and every other earthly employment. While the officers and soldiers of the Krmy share in the general grief which thes considerations so naturally and irresistibly inspire, they will doubtless be penetrated with increased sensibility, and feel a dee per concern in testifying, in the manne appropriate to them, the-full measure of a nation's gratitude for the eminent servi ftbe departe4 patriot, and inrenderi approved ori; receiving hiseii-iestessoirs in a camp, and, when in riper years, called to the command of armies, illustrating the professions of arms by his personal -quali ties, and contributing largely, by his suc cesses, to the stock of his country's glory. It is to be regretted that the suddennes of the emergency has made it necesdary to announce this sad event in the absence o the Vice President from the Seat of Gov ernment; but the greatest confidence is felt that he will cordially approve the senti ments expressed, and that he will, in due time, give directions for such further marks of respect, not prescribed by the existing regulations of the Army as may be deman ded by the occasion. NAVY DEPARTMENT, April 5, 1841. The Acting Secretary of the Navy, de sires that all oflicers of the Navy, now at the seat of Government or in its neighbor hood, will appear at the Navy Department in uniform, at 10 o'clock A.
