We have admired the patriotic of President
Tyler during the trying scenes of the late and precc-
ding sessions Of Congress. He has proved himself to
be Republican of the right stamp; and for his de-
voon to the interests of the country regardless of
the bitter and unrelentng abuse beaped upon him by
Federal bullying bravados he is entitled to the graft
tudc Of every American. We shall continue to give
him most cordial support in his noble exertons to
serve the people

Colts Con Eesyion,

During the trial of Colt, Mr. Emmett, his coun-
sci, read manuscripts copy. he said, verbatim
from similar one in pencil, made by the prison
after his commlttal for trial. synopsis of this
confession, embracing all points Of Importance,
is given in the Tattler, as follows
"That on Friday, in the afternoon, Mr.. Adams
came into his office, for the purpose of settling
some account, that they quarrelrd about the
amount that Adams accused him OF endeavor-
ing to cheat him out of ten dollars and they had
high words in consequence that they called each
other liars that words followed until they came to
blows, and then they grapplcd and had fierce
struggle.
At this time, says Colt, he had his hands in my
neck handkerchief, twisting it that | could
scarcely breathe, and al the same time pressing
the upon the wall and table. There was a ham
incr upon the table which then Immediately
seized hold Of, and ms family struck him over the
head At this time think his hat was nearly in
my face, and his face, should think, was down
wards. | do not think he seize the ham
mer The selling of the hammer and the blow
was instantaneous. | think this blow knocked his
hat oil, but Will not be positive. At the time
only remember his twisting my neck handker-
chief so tight, that it seemed TO me MS though |
had lost all power of reason. Still thought |
was striking away with the hammer and whether
he attempted to ge. the hammer from me or not
cannot say. do not think he did. The first
sense of thought was, it seems, as though his
hands brushed from my neck downwards. | cam
not say had any of reflection till heard
knock at the door Yet there is faint idea still
reinaining that showed him off from me, so that
tie fell over, but Of this cannot say. When
heard the knock on the door, was Instantly start
led, and am fully conscious of going and turning
the key SOFAS to lock it. then sat down, for
felt very weary and sick. After sitting few
minutes and seeing so much blood, | think went
out and look ed at poor Adams who breathed quite
loud for several mnuets, threw his arms out
and was silent recollect at this time taking
him by the hand which seemed lfeless, and a hor-
rid thrill came over me that had killed him.
Colt then describes his sensations Wheeler S
knocking at the door; his wiping up of the blood;
his intention ofconfessing to his brother, then to
a magistrate; his idea of setting fire to the bull
ding; and finally his resolve to pack the body in
u box and send it New Orleans.
During the reading ofthe statement, Colt ap-
peared much effected, and wept continually.
