n. M
Tyler Of the Senate, is one OF the most
greeable oil men. His heart is alive to
every generous feeling. and though you
may differ from him on every possible
point, yet you cannot but respect him and
his motives No Senator is more popular
No one has more personal friends among
his adyersaries MIR. Tyler is about six
feet in height-not over large in his per
sou-wth a very prominent nose, and
good eye, but not over remarkable in It's
indications His defamation is at times
very beautiful He speaks with great Ter
vor and enthusiasm, like most of the ora
tors OF the Virginia school, and is much
more fond Of fee sentences and fac words
than of fac arguments. His arguments
never amount TO much. His positions are
often absurd. and the manner in which he
sustalns them, yet more absurd than the
arguments themselves. Mr.. Tyler Is a
null.fer and seceder, but more of sece-
der than a nulliier He believes that there
is no such thing or being as citizen OF
the United States, unless he becomes such
by being first the citizen of sovereign
State He believes tba! State in ner SOW
ereign capacity can 60 no wrong, and that
therefore, the United States cannot repress
nor RESTRAIN het, if she. in her sovereign
capacity, resolves to go out Of the Union.
He holds to many absurditles, and after a
speech. advancing them all, has been re
elected by Virginia for term Of six years
When Mr. Tyler had Mr. Tazewell for a
colleague. the two Senators made one
splendid man: for Tyler could deelaim
with great force and great effect, and las
well could reason on nicer distinctions than
any man ever met with. Tyler is of the
Irish school of eloquence, horrows the
manner Of GrattAn and Curran and Phil
lips, and Tazewell was a metaphysIcian a
loglcan, hair splltter-a man who could
prove right wrong. and wrong right, and
half convince you, at times, that three and
two made SIX.
Mr. RireS, the other Virginia Senator,
and the successor Of Mr.. Tazewell, is
middle aged man, small 10 his person; pc
lite; but not polite with ease, Well bred,
but rather uneasily so, and klud, but with
an effort He is known as bold opposer
of Mr. Adams administration, and after
wards "a Minister Plenipotentiary to
France. He has been flattered and ca
ressed by The great men Of Virginia, and
was taken much notice of by Jefferson, as
a yonng man OF promise. as well as by
Mr.. Madison. III whose school of constitu.
tional politics he is thoroughly imbued
Hence he is much more rational and much
less absurd than the politicians Of Virginia
In the mass He Is no nullitier nor seced-
er. Virginia has hitherto had her eye on
hum for the highest gift in her bestowed,
but whether the ground he has taken OF
late will injure him in her estimation, re
mains to be seen.
AS DICTATOR. Mr.. Rives is ready, with
command OF good language. He is "a
natural aud easy speaker. He has little
of the Virginia rant, and much of the
northern sobriety His enunciation is ra
ther slow and guarded. His manner is
solemn, correct and Impressive. His mode
of addressing the Senate is so ike that of
earnest conversation thai be gains much
attention, which manner, by the way,
suspect is the true secret of orators MIR.
Rlves Is probably destined to occupy
high station in the government. and a con
spcuous place in the eyes of the people,
not so much for his talents, for there are
men far before him, though he is first
rate second rate man, as from his being
from Virginia, State which holds such a
spot on the map. that it must have in0u.
ence. more or less, and which at this time
ia so deficient in talent in which she has
been hitherto So remaI liable, that any man
of a common strength OF intellect must en-
title himself 10 and obtain her support.
Virginia usually puts out her best foot, and
sends her best men, and as Mr. Riyes is
among the first, | should not be surprised
