JOHN TYLER.

Virginia, the smother Of Presidents
she birth place of heroes and statesmen
could not have furnished to the freemen Of
the Union, a nobler son to occupy the chair
of Vice President, and to preside over the
deliberations Of the Senate. On this sub
iect, we presume the evidence Of the "Ohio
Confederate, = a Van Buren, paper, will not
be doubted: go.
ssOf John Tyler we are warranted to
speak by our knowledge of the man. But
why shall we speak, His name is familiar
to all the people, from extremity to extrerni-
|ty Of the land, and the evidence of one Wit
ness who has known him long and well, at.
firming his moral excellence, his intellectu.
al power and political purity and rec:itude,
can add nothing offorce to The testimony Of
a public life of near thirty years. Mr.. TyI
Ter commenced his service at very early
age-being elected TO the House Of Dele
gates Of Virginia before he had attaided bis
lwen,y-first year. By that body he was
soon pointed member Of the elective
council of that State; whence he was coon
transferred by the people to the House Of
Representatives Of the United States. After
several successive terms ip the low r. house
Of Congress, he was next raised to the CHIEF
magistrHcy Of the State, but before the az
piratinn Of his ufliciai term he was elcclsdt1
the Senate Of the United States. His SUBJ
seqaesit participated, and the part he ha1
acted, in the interesting events which havt1
marked the err, are known 10 all. We viii
only now add of Mr.. Tyler, that through az
