No, SIR the thing Is not credible There must have
oten change somewhere, either IN MIR Tyler or
| the Opposition party. They DO not admit that
they have changed, and yet that have by some mi
| r'cuIous means come together. What, them Is the
irresistible conclusion WHY, thnt My Tylar has
changed, and deserted his party and his principles
Bat there Is no pcJ6iy, no trc1chcry in this-not

WIN Mr. Tyler IS whether he sha. cooperate
with the Wings who pu; him in power, or 20 over
20 the Locotocos 10y whom he hopes 10 be retained
IN power.

la the year 1927, Mr. Tyler was Governor OF Viz
SIns, protesting TO belong 10 the Jackson party.
hr Randolph was then q Senator Of the UneI
states, and has by the violence Of his course, ex-
,'.eu the deep hostility of the anti jackson party

Just then about 10 take place. MIR Tyler. having
some two or three personal connexions and friends
IN the House. winch, added TO ihe Wing vote would
give them majority, applied 10 lend his name
10 ms poIuca. opponents; and while IL was alleged
NAT Mr. Tyler, among HIs political friends In the
JACKSON ranks loudly deprecated all opposition 20
Mr. Randolph, ne secretly couuivCd at the intrigue

MN INTO Submissions written IN a spirit of dlctaton
winch he !et author I'D ioTCSsi. Sir u IS curious
history, and Wi. read lew extracts from letter
written perhaps the day alter the election bv a
member OF the House OF Delegates, somewhat er-
pI na'ory OF what had occurred. The letter was
published at the time as part Of the history Of the
peihdy then charged upon Mr. TYLER.
Speaking OF tie letter OF Mr. Tyler, written on the /
morning Of the election; az all events withheld
to thoiime, oonsentms tina! lis name might be used

ceraIned, the winter, Mr. Daniel \. Wilson, saws:

l'c1bed TO him. Il was reported and believed, and /
| have never heard the contrary asserted, that he
resisted with great "a, the idea of Judge Birbour
being put IN nomination rs candidate 10 oppose |
ion to Mr.. Randolph, alleging he would not do: /
That we wanted, al ihs time, the services Of man
who was ready aud willing 20 throw himself into .
the breach sword IN hand; that Judge Barbour was /
NOT and MIR. Randolph was that man"
at was also reported with equal confidence and .
as generally believed, that he appreciated in the /
strongest terms the prOmp,ness ana decision of

The calculation was fair one that Governor .
Tyler would (Hs Judge Barbour had done) look 10 .
the estimation ~ which ms services were held by .
hrs poitcl. friends rather than the Office he was to
obtain at the hands Of his political enemies"
The election, however, came on, nnd Mr. TvIor

strOUges. terms.
