I'VE copy the following sentiments from the New
Orleans Advertiser. They were suggested on read
ing the Presidents letter to the citizens Of New Kent
which the editor appends to his PREDATORY remarksl
The following interesting correspondence between
John Tyler and his ellowctizens set of his true cha
Iacer in the most enviable light Assailed by abuse
such as no man ever before received. he goes his
way undsturbed keeping lis eye steadily upon the po-
a star ofour liberties the GLORIOUS Constitution
and with aphiosophy superior To that of the soic
presses all the natural feelings of the human heart at
the brutal and unmanly violence with which he has
been treated. Such a spectacle, perhaps,
presented Surely, he is entitled to the proud dstinc
ton of being the "noblest Roman Of them ALL" His
career amid the sto of denunciaton with which he
has been assailed calculated to command the admit

he throws himself the potrotism, discernment and
intelligence Of the American people, for vndicaton
of his course. They will do him ample justice, and
his proudest consolation in his green old age will be,
to look back and see that, though his motives

rymen did not fail to award 10 him the highest Of all
honors, their confidence in his patriotism and their
approval of his administration ofthe General Govern

Singular Coincidence.-On of our citizens has

them resides in Illinois and the other in Texas. They
have been in this quarter each other for
fire years. A few mornings since, the father was
rived from Boston One Of The passengers observing
him, came towards him unperceived and tapped him.

his son, who had just arrived from Texas. They
started from the depot, busy in conversation. They
had gone but few steps, when another person who
hind them and touched them the shoulders. Look
ing round to their astonishment and delight they be-
held before them the SON. whose residence is in Illi-

unexpected. The sons had passed from Boston to
Lowell in the same train of cars without having OBJ
served each other. The father knew nothing Of the
intended visits of his sons and the quite az

TEXAS AND SANTA ANNA.

The Houstonian thinks that Santa Anna will re-
cognize the Independence Of Texas Il says: If the
report of Santa Anna's success In Mexico should
prove to be correct venture to predict that, with
General Houston at the head Of our Government one
year will not have elapsed before the independence of
Texas shall have been Internationally recognized by
Mexico. We do not make this prediction from any
confidence we have in the pledges Of that perfdious
man, made while prisoner, but from the belief that
he is satisfied viii his former campaign to Texas and
will not be anxious to become actor in second
drama, the exit of which would, in all human proba-
bilty be even more tragical."

Mr.. Sparks gave it as his opinion that the purity
and patriotism OF WAsHINoToNs character were ne

markable incident fully illustrates the character of
that noble man. 1t was remarkable proof of his
modesty that the subjoined letter publish
earnestly solicited A council was held privately ny
some men of influence every point of their deplora
BILE situation discussed, and 1t was proposed to
tell their views, and hopes and fears to WASHINGTON
One man, Colonel Nicola, was chosen to write let
Ter expressive Of their views which letter was 10 be
sent to WAsHINaToN, and in this it was stated that
nothing short of a monaIchca system could save
the country from the anarchy and disasters which
threatened il; and they proposed to WAsHINaToN
that such system should be established, and that he
should take the head Of it, with the power and title
Of" KNa" In carrying out this plan, they promised
WAsHlNgroN that he should have the support Of the
army and of many men Of influence and power.

YOU have submitted to my perusal. Be assured sir,
no occurrence in the course Of the war has given me
more painful sensations than your information of
there being such ideas existing IN the army, as you
reprehend with severity For the present the commu-
nication Of them wi rest in my own bosom, unless
some further agitation of the matter shall make dis
closure necessary.
/ am much at loss to conceive what part OF my
conduct could have given encouragement to an ad-
dress, which to seems big with the greatest mis-
chiefs that can befall my county. if am not de-
ceiyed in the knowledge Of myself you could not
have found person to whom your schemes are more
disagreeable.
Al the same time, In justice to my own feelings,
must add, that possesses a more sincere wish
to ample justice done TO the army than do; and
as far as my powers and influence in constitutional
way extend they shall be employed TO the utmost Of
my abilities to effect it, should there be any occasion
Let me conure you then, if you have any regard for
your country for yourself posterity, or re-
spect for me- to Danish these thoughts from your mind
and never communicate, as from yourself or any one
else q sentiment OF the like nature. tf
