proposes to remain here. He has been, we nm
derstand, pretty much under charge Of tile Locos
since his arrival. The "eurious oniique' was
particularly prodlgal of his attentions and con-
spicuous in exhibiting them. lie has enacted ..
many antics as d monkey. in capering up and
down the stairs at the Exchange, and bowling
and scraping, and playing off self satisfied crima
ces. He and his party are evidently highly plea
ssed with the "gfHuine MIR" President and His
bXceiiency no doubt reciprocates their good feel

were only 80 subscribers, all told, the honor was

OF proof, the errors of John Tylers and Daniel

Webster, and John Tyler, President of the u. |
