now, asks he reader, !" Mr.. Madison or who?'' Mr.
Madison is not dead-nor even Mr.. Randolph, nor
Mr.. Giles, nor even Thomas Richie; but the
HOPES OF THE RICHMOND PARTY are " deep 10 the
ocean buried' To be plain, the Republican has dis.
covered that Mr.. Tyler, the Senator elected in the
place Of MIR. Randolph, approves Of the manner in
which the present administration camo into power,
and as the Jackson party found their opposition en-
titely upon that basis, Mr.. Tyler 10 lost to them.
The Republican made the discovery in the article
from the Winchester Virgnian, which stated tina,
shortly after the determination Of the late Presi-
dental election in the House Of Representatives MIR.
Clay received letter from Gov. Tyler, approving
in unqualified terms, Of his, (Mr. Clay's) course in
hat election, and congratuating Mr.. Clay and the
country upon the result" The Republican under
stands IRON unquestionable authority" that the
letter :" is in substance acknowledged by Mr.. Ty-

cans boast, that the Administration only "swsp
ping the Devil for Witch,' was premature. What
think you Of the bargain Tbs Witch, when sub

the administration has go the Devil off its hands!
In sober eatnesteess, and party feeling aside,
The election Of Gov. Tyler to the Senate Of the Uni
ted States, in the place OF MIR. Randolph is good
thing for Virginia, the Senate, and the country at
large. ibid.
