son, yetIt has nothing to fear. At the helm of
the ship of State, Providence has decreed that
John Tyler, for the next four years, shall be

in an address to the people of the United States
which will be found in our paper ofto-day, this
genuine Republican, of the old Virginia School,
speaks in language, not to be misunderstood
by any, and which must be cheering to every
citizen. The South what more can she de-

Let the calm and rejecting, of both political
parties in Georgia, examine well the address

public functionary. 1t is frank and explicit
presenting to the American people an outline
Of the leading principles that will characterize
his administration of the Federal Government.

the moral that may be drawn from this earnest
