Mr.. TYLER resumed the remarks Which he had left
diminished ON yesterday He said, that on resuming his
seat he had found his desk letter from valued and

take the liberty OF reading in his place IL then the
following paragraph from letter which he held in
hand. 81 have sold my to a Yankee who takes
