GOVERNOR TYLER.

f1ImeIly been IA uft hdpt vi RECEIVING, oht II
h,s also aN akencd agaiit,t hun II portion Of that
malignant hostility ahtcfI Tad before found iull
s,ope for It's exercise against Mir, Adams and
Ar Clay. The friends u 1ohn Randolph, Vino
.,e almost exclusively those men who formerly
held Inn in the deepest adherence, (and who
by their present zeal inI,is DciIaL, te.SAenpiiiy-
ins the old 81, ing that " one hcatgtde Is more
dan. erous than ten TURKS } vince under the
reelection THAI they have been defeated IN one Of
their iayorite plans. Nothing can appcase them.
Although many OF the personal and political
tr,nds OF Gov. Tyler were found among those
Who supported john Randolph, in the LogIsla-
mte. , ct, since that event, they have shown, that
even personal friendships ana lo,iner political
affinity may both DC snapped IN vain by the
demon OF patty SPIRIT. Why do We see the Ran
dolph pafy tl,uS acting towards Gov. Tyler !
lila, i.. not distinctly declared that :" altho Nlr-
pnia has changed her representative, her prta-
etg.ts reniIin unchanged'l Has he not cApli-
ed. declared his determination TO raise MS
voice in defence OF the constitutional sovereign
~ Of the States, and against the march OF fedcr-
al encroachments : What more do his oppo-
nents require at his hands ? What could Ran
doph do more than tins Judging by his course
last winter, he could do thus much ml0rc-he
could degrade himself by the most u~nseemly
practices, bolh in the streets and in the SENATE
Chamber-he could openly insult Senator'S IN
their places, claiming the " chartered Impunlty'
OF Iunacy tor his insolence-he could forfeit all
pretensions to candor by his lavish and nnioun
dcd abuse of Mr.. Clay-in line, he could dis
grace himself, his State, ana the UnIon-It is
true, that his conduct, during the present scs-
sion, is indicative OF d return to ii sounder state
OF ieeling-and We leave it with ms friends TO
say whether has former Jealous and savage war
fare against the administration be not a taclt
ceusure on lis recent silence or whether his
present moderation is NOT a direct condemna-
ton of his former yIoleuce. Ii Mr.. Randolph
had acted during the last session as he has done
during the present, there would not have been
the slightest objection to his reelection, aud the
practice which has almost grow into d rule IN
Virginia, not causeiessly To dismiss n public ser
want, would have been adhered TO with regard to
MIR. Il. IGls is admitted Ivy his best friends.
1hey acknowledge that his conduct has been IN
deienslble, in a great measure, but YET they
claim ior hun un exemption from punishment,
because, \as Dr. Crump would say it arose
from - organic nritability /" For our own parts
We have not the shadow ola doubt that Coy.
Tyler will make equally as efficient arepresen-
tat,e as Mr.. Randolph, and We are coniiden
that the character OF the State will be IN the
keeping OF better hunds.-Ne are, however, shl
more astonished at the manifestation of hostile
feeling against Mr.. Tyler by the bankruptcies
when VT recollect, that even they, in the first
moment oftheir defeat, 1--WE presume as a plais
Ter for the wound exultingly proclaimed that
the =" Administrator had gained nothing by the
change'-that Gov. Tyler was equally its oppo-
nent as MI. Randolph--and that although his
manner was not ofthat cdiatic character which
distinguishes the cloquence of his predecessor,
yett would be more argumcntative and con.
Fineing The friends Of the administration IL
gree with these gentlemen. They fear more
from 10y. Iyler's opposition than they did from
'Aatoi Mr.. Randolph, and would, on this ac-
count, have regretted the change, had not higher
ieelIngs actuated them. They believed that the
Character Of the country ought to be dearer to
al American patriot than the success OF any ad-
'nhistratlon, aud they therefore exulted at the
"eieat Of man who threatened to make the L.
"i'ea States the gaze and laughing-stock Cf the
"'fld-ot a man, who threatened To iniure the
Cause OF hbcrty in foreign counties, bv exciting
''erdlsSust Ita L.ceniousness, which that libcr.
y tolerated..
re- suppose that II is in accordance with the
S'9h which has actuated the friend, OF Nh. Ram
ooiph against GOV. Tyler ever Since tn election.
