DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA,
City and County of Washington, ss:
I, William Cranch, chief judge of the circuit court of the District of Columbia, certify that the above-named John Tyler personally appeared before me this day, and although he deems himself qualified to perform the duties and exercise the powers and office of President on the death of William Henry Harrison, late President of the United States, without any other oath than that which he has taken as Vice-President, yet as doubts may arise, and for greater caution, took and subscribed the foregoing oath before me.
W. CRANCH.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
A RECOMMENDATION.
