THE NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
rhe contents of he orthem Mail iave been made
rather painfully intexesting, for a few .days past, by
the news of the serious indis position of President H&a
kison. Our first -certain information of it was from
the Washington paper of Wednesday last, stating,
evidendyjipon the authority of the President's' medi
cal attendants, that his complaint (which attacked nim
on Saturday the 27th of last month) is Pneumonia, or
Pleurisy. Each' of "ttie "Washington papers, of the,
encceeding days lof the last wee,: have alluded to the
President's indispositio tn' a manner to shew that it is'
considered serious t the latest ymper that of Saturday
last) giving reason to "hope," liowever, that it will ier
rniriate favorablyr! '1 1 . , ; , , ' '
. It is not to bo wondered, that thU news has produc
edery where avery considerable sensation. :'-' ,
The immediate effect of the President's confinement
to his bed by indisposition, every leader will at once
perceive, is to arrest, during the whole time', of sucb
confinement, all such action on trie part ol jne uov
ernmeht as. depends on the personal agency of the
President, and even all such as requires his'signature
to authenticate the act 'of the subordinate departments.
Whilst he is in the hands of the Physicians, he is of
course not in a sitaation to transact business ; nor can
the members of his Cabinet, or any other persons,
hold conferences or consultations with. him. The ill
ness of the "President, "therefore, whilst it lasts, ope'
rates, to a considerable extent, to suspend the Executive-
functions of the Government. Matters of routine,
and such as have received the previous sanction of the
Executive, will go on as usual : but what we intend
to say is, that there can be no originating of Executive
measures, nor any issuing of orders or commissions
such as require th' President's signature, until bis
health and strength shall be sufficiently restored to en
able him to resumolhe discbarge of such official duties.
Such is the immediate effect of th President's con
finement by indisposition. Jf) this vjew, his illness is
an inconvenience to those who are dependent upon
the Executive action, and the cause of suspense in the
public mind as to the course of the Executive upon
matters yet to be acted ' upon. , . . , . -v
It is not in this view, however that the illness of the
President is the subject of the. gravest reflection, not
unmixed with alarm.; .An indisposition, so serious as to
call for the attendance of four Physicians (as mention
ed in the Washington papers) may terminate fatally ;
and the People may be deprived of the services of their
patriotic and popular; Chief Magistrate, by his death,
at the very moment: after placing the reins of Govern
ment in his hands. - Ah event, how painful in the con
templation ! Should it unhappily occur, how deeply
to be deplored t How! earnestly to be deprecated in the
prospect ! And, O ! how sadly to be mourned over
in the reality ! Most, sincerely do we hope and trust,
that the country will be spared this desolation. It is
not possiblehoweVer, to exclude the idea of what may
happen, or to prevent the mind from looking forward
to its consequences, i
Our readers are generally too well acquainted with
the Constitution of the .United States not to know that,
at tbe moment of the decease of a Pkesibkitt of the
IJ. States, the Vice-President becomes President.
In the event of the death of General Harkisos
(which Heaven forbid!); John Tyler of Virginia, be-
comes rresiaeni ot uie u nitea states lor tne remain
der of the term for -which Gen. Harrison has been
chosen. . 1 J !
This contingency, carefully provided for by the wis
dom.and forecast.of the Cramers of the Constitution,
has never occurred since the beginning of the Govern
ment. It is' a yet untried part of our political system
no one can well tell how it would work. As far as
depends upon the personal character and political in--tegrity
of the distinguished citizen who- now occupies
the second place in the Government; there ia reasona
ble ground for confidence that he would worthily fol
low ouithe great fchVrt of pruiciples contained in the
inaugural Address of President Harrison, which has
met with so cordial a .response from the body of the
People.' : b i - - ',.''
It is altogether1 probable, also, that the able and
powerful Ministers whp now form the Cabinel Would
retnain in office, and afford to the ne w President the
full benefit of their counsels!"- - .These would all be con
nugcircurnsuinces. J. Tt4'". -:
Notwiuistanding al which, the death of President
Harrison would, we believe, universally, be regard
ed as a national calamity and a cause of deep afflic
iion. It is not therefore at all a matter of surprise, that
- the unexpected news of his severe Ulness produces a
' deep and painful sensation as it spreads over the land.

Peri the following is only, an outline. I
On the 4th of March,rsome two o three
nunarea personswiinout distinction ot par-
ty, met at MrJ Jbhn BffneltV-niill pond, to
partake ol a try. ot lresh hsh, causrbt out of
the pond with hanging netts by Mr. JobnT,
Parker.and others : and also to reioice to-
er, as fellow-citizens of a common coun
try, because, we had, passed through- so Jong
and . heated a contest of parties without
bloodshed or violence..
-While dinner was preparing, the company I
amused themselves in variods ways. In the
middle of the pond (which is one of the lar-1
gest bodies,of water in the, up country) they
bad reared a talK pole, and upon that they
had placed a large white flag, without any
lnscnption. They had a number of boats,
which, were filled with men armed with
muskets, and commanded by i Col. Abner
Parker. They then rowed out to the large
flag, and bad a mock naval engagement.
They had repeated firings, and were answer
ed with firings from the banks. : The boats
also had--with them four beautiful flags
(which I will describe presently,) and as
often as the flags were waved, thev were
saluted with firings from the; banks ; and
although 1 cannot describe the scene, it was
really, very imposing and interesting ? and
the strong commanding voice of Col. Parker,
and the orderly manner in which he caused
every thing to be done, added much interest.
to the scene.
After the amusements upon the water, the
company insisted upon having ja Speech.
Efforts had been made to have some speak
ers who were in the habit of speaking, but
it was not convenient for any to attend.-
Nevertheless, they must have a Speech ; and
Mr. John A. Barnett wa3 prevailed upon to
make one. And although I shall attempt
to give you a sketch of it, and although you
may see how fit it was for the' occasion, yet
3 can have but little idea of it, unless you
"ad heard his most admirable manner of de-
" j s 1 " "c "tt" . WMa
had gone before, and encouraged as he was
by the cheerfulness and good feeling which
appeared in every countenance: Hut before
J give you a sketch of this Speech, I must
describe the flags which they had. I have
already described tbe large white nag which
was hoisted in the pond. . In addition to that
they had four others, painted by a' lady in
Kox borough tor the occasion, upon one
was inscribed in large letters, " WTilliam H.
Harrison, President of the United States,
March 4th, .1841," with a beautiful Eagle
and Stars, and a Log Cabin, with a large
string out at the door. Upon jaholber was'
inscribed " Hon. W. P. Manguni Hon. W.
A . Graham United States Senators." Upon
another, "Hon. John M. Morehead, Go
vernop of North Caolina.', Upon another,
which thev called the invitation flasr, was
inscribed Every body of every party, wel
come to this feast." .'
Just before dinner was ready, Mr. John
A. Barnett mounted an old Cider Press,
which happened to be there in an old or
chard ; the people formed around him, and
he spoke, in substance, as follows :
Fcuow-Citizxks : We have met at this feast
as brothers as a very small portion of a very great
community. VV e have prepared some : very- fit em
blems of our present condition. Do you behold that
large flag planted in the midst of that vast body of
water, and gently tanning the breeze of heaven ? It
represents this great Union. It is unspotted, and
most fitly represents the unspotted character and pu
rity of the American people. It is planted in the
midst of the waters, and represents our situation al
most entirely separated from oar Enemies' by water;
and as no enemy can approach that flag but at the pe
ril of his life, so no enemy can approach us without
the same peril, and without .finding many a stout
heart and strong arm to oppose them. The calm and
unruffled face of the water, most filly represents the
calm and peaceful state in which we are with all the
world ; and the many fish of various sorts which swim
beneath its surface, do most fitly represent our vast
and various population ; and the small portion we have
taken for our part, does represent, that though an ene
my may sometimes attack us and destroy a few, yet
oar number is innumerable and our forces unconquer
able. May that flag ever be unfurled,' the pride of
America. - Loud and tremendous cheeringA And
then taking the staff of the Harrison flag, Mr.
Barnett proceeded This flag which I hold; bears the
name of one who has served his country : in the field,
and in her councils- of State. Oftentimes, he has led
her armies to battle arid to victory, but never to defeat.
Tremendous cheering. Many a tune, has he tn
umphed oYer cold, pver heat, and over hunger, when
the smallest fish in our fry would have been to him a
delightful feast. Like VV ashmgton, he entered the
service of his country, at . an early age.; Lute Wash
ington, he served his country for his country's good ;
and like Washinelon. when be honed to spend the re
mainder of his days in peaceful retirement, the people
called him to the Presidency ; and this day he enters
upon the duties of his office. May he be the. Presi
dent of the whole people, and not of a party, and ad
minister tbe affairs ot tne uovernnaent witn pruuence
and discretion. Loud and repealed cheering. Then
taking another- flag, he. said This flag ' which I hold.
bears the names of Hon. Willie V. Mangum, : and
Hen. William A. Graham, our Senators uv Congress ;
mar their distinguished abilities- be employed solely
for their country's good. Cheers This flag beam
the name of John M. Morehead, our present Govern
or ; a man not much known tp fame, but nevertheless
an able and an honest man.' Cheers The flag
which I hold, bears the invitation to- all, without dis
tinction of party, to this feast. Let every man ifeel
welcome ; here there are uo superiors, all aro equals.
Let every, heart be merry, and partake of a feast which
a bountiful Providence has provided. ; Great 'eheer-

behind Key Larzo two of the animals, here
