JOHN TYLER, PRESIDENT OF THE UNI
TED STATES

John Tyler, who, hy dspensaiion Of Prov
deuce, has become the legitimate President OF the
United States, is native of the same county OF
Hanover in Virginia, which gnve birth To our la
ueuled Chief Magistrate. In his political faith
and attachments he is democrat Of the old JEFF
(; rsoilinn school,, and OF tie most efficient
supporters OF the last war III the lower House OF
Congress lie has long been the friend ol Henry
Clny and was, nj The harrisburg Convention, one
of lie last WHO consented 20 the substitution OF
another candidate or the Pr@rncy.
In the Senate of the Uncd States, Mr.. Tyler
maintained steady opposition to the measures OF
the ate administration, until, in conformity viii
The Virginia d crime Of instruction, he resigned
his seat. lie has, however, in his recorded speech
es, expressed himself opposed 10 the rechartri Ing
of United States Bank, although it is believed
tlIat his opinions have undergone some modlfica
ton upon this subject within the last two or three
years. Certain i, is, he is decidedly opposed to
lie SUb-Treasury scheme aud 10 the exercise Of
The veto power by the President.
| From his personal appearance we should Judge
that Mr.. Tyler was about fifty years of age. He
is tall and slim in his figure, and strongly reminds
one of the published likenesses Of Patrick Henry
| Ills hair is still unsvered, and his countenance i:
indicative of manly frankness, courtesy and amia
bllity of temper. His manners are courtly ant
COZ dial, and his style Of reception snIgulaly gra-
cioJs anil prepossessing. In his deueanor MS Vice
fresi"cHt hc ns oeeh 'ouiS,iN u"iy nioueS, an" ""
orfusve, indicating no disposition to interfere
in the distribution of offices, or to bias tn
Judgment OF the Executive and his Cabinet.
! MIR. Tyler is fluent and graceful speaker, al
though in personal intercourse he is by no mean
inclined TO be garrulous. lie is unquesiionably
man OF sterling abilities and good sense, and vii
not he blinded and moulded by any man or set u
men. He is in full vigor of all his faculties, il
the prime Of life, without even the sense of sigh
impaired We believe he will make good, pat
rotc and wise President.

of his fellow citizens to fill the second office in
