PRESIDENT TYLER.

The Wayne County Herald, of the 18th instant, the
leading Democratic paper in that county, in noticing
the of President Tyler disapproves of some of
his acts. But (says the editer) he has vetoed two
National Bank bills and the " little tariff bin as it
is called and in doing has shown an integrity of
purpose and devotion to Democratic principles
worthy of all praise. In fact in these acts he has
shown himself not whit behind General jackson
himself in 6rmness and fearessness in the hour of
trial But the greatest and best thing he has done
for the Democratic party and for the country itself
is the utter destruction of the great Wing party,
which he has accomplished in way which does
him the highest honor This gratifying, grand re-
suit of his Administration, has been produced by an
honest consistent, straightforward on his part
and an adherence to Democratic prnciplesno tricks
management, no sacrifice Of principles, no ambi-
tious grasping after power and popularity He has
made no efforts to injure, much less to destroy, the
party which placed him where he is but that party
has been most emphaticay, genteelIy, and decently
used up by implication That party is for all political
intsnts and purposes, no more. Out of its ruin
have already what MIR. Wise has named the Loco
Veto' party and we shall probably have another
party out of the ruins under what name we can
not guess but they will rally under Henry Clay and
protective tariff topped off with National Bank
Buth Whigery and Conservatism have become stale
and unprohlable and as for Federalism it is univer-
sally repudiated, at least in name. The great body of
the Democratic party remains firm and united be-
cause 1t Is based upon principles which endur-
ing as the sun himself what better evidence do we
need of the truth and potency of Democratic prInc
plies than is furnished by the Administration of John
Tyler-a man who came into power under the aus
pices of the great Wing party, but who, to the
country and its Institutions found it necessary to con-
duct his Administration upon those principles to
which that party is and has BEEN most radically
hostile. Is not this enough for us, there nothing
more, to make us love and hug to our hearts more
firmly than ever the principles of Jefiersonan Demo

full part Of this sad story remains to be told.
Arrived at the place Of execution, the
criminal was led to the foot Of the gallows,

Of the sun. under which he stood bare-head-

ENECTTTON At IISRON.

On Saturday, the 10th instant, Mattos
Lobo, who in August last murdered a
whole family, consisting of three families
and boy. his own near relatives, paid the
penalty OF his crime. The spectacle of a
criminal led to The scaflold must be every
where appalling: in Portugal lis peculiar
forms render it still moro terrific; but the
circumstances attendant upon the eXccu-
non OF he unfortunate victim Of offended
Justice in this instance formed climax Of
horror such as has seldom been seen. The
wrctched young man, barefoot clothed in
a loose white robe, his hands and feet
bound with cords, was conveyed in a chair,
carried by two galley slaves, to the place
of execution, by road which led past the
very house where his crime was commit
ted. Strong bodies OF horse and foo. opened
and closed the mournful procession, which
consisted Of the magistrates, the execution
ers, the brotherhood Of mercy, calling on
the assembled throng to "pray for the
soul Of our poor brother, who is going to
suffer-" and in the centre Of all the unhap-
py creature himself, pale and livid as a
corpse, his head dropping on his breast,
and his eyes closed. Two priests who
have for years past devoted themselves to
the pious and gratuitous labour of admin
istering religious consolation and advice
TO the prisoners confined in the gaols Of
this CITY, attended him on his way to the
scafold. The crowd congregated on the
occasion was such as was never before
seen in Lisbon; it was literally COM
pact mass of human beings. Every face
seemed to bear the expression OF pity,
though for the notorious Diego Alves, who
was hung last year for murder, not the
least Commiseration was cvinced as he
passed to the galows. The cause Of this
difference in public feeling was, that Mat
tos Lobos had all along manifested the
greatest sorrow Cor his crime, which the
other never did. On arriving opposite to
the house where the murders were com
miited the procession stopped, and the SEN
tencc. preceded by the narration of the
crime, was read aloud. The sufferer look
ed up once, and then with convulsive shud-
der closed his eyes and bowed his head
again. What train of narrowing recol-
lections that one glance must have aroused!
There was the door at which he had en-.
tered on that fatal night; the window
through which he had escaped; the blood
stains left by his hands, as he let himself

THE WRECKERS OF KEY
VEST.

Madame Rumor tells some strange tales
about the Inhabitants OF Key West; and
we have heard many a weather-beaten tar
declare he. would rather take passage to
Davy Jones' locker. than be wrecked on
the coast Of Florid1, whi:h is so fatal to
mariners.
The m slortune navigators give great
joy 10 the Inhabitants of the Key, and their
manner OF Sailing balances with each other
bears some resemblance TO the course adop-
ted by the planter of the South, who pay
all demandson the receipt OF money for
their crops If a Key Wester is dunned
for the payment ola debt, he coolIy replies
that he will square the yards ''thc next
wreck" which in all cases is satisfactory.
The Key is beautiful and salubrious
place of residence, and contains some Of
the finest gardens we have ever seen.
Those fond Of q fish and vegetable diet,
can enjoy themselves to their hearts con-
tent, but the lover Of roast beef and other
fXins, would not reside there twenty-lour
hours. John Bull would leave the "orid
OLE, if he had to swim from the lighthouse
to Havana; and Uncle Sam need be under
no apprehension Of seeing the Key attach
ed to the crown of nation onw hose pos
sessions the sun never sets. No. no,
might stand the fever Of Cuba, but never
the fare Of Key West.
The wreckers are a peculiar class Of
men, and appear to be as little affected by
the cares and troubles Of the world, as a
Turk smoking his opium pipe. Most of
their time is spent in Incidence, lounging
about the taverns and shorc-sidc, spending
freely their salvage money, and other
sources Of revenue. At long intervals, be-
tween the appearance Of wrecks, however,
their brows are clouded, and they become
sulIcn and and distant in their conduct,
cursing their bad luck, and looking anx-
iously towards the theatre Of their opera
tons, in the hope Of seeing distress flag
flying.
Whenever wreck is taken, and the
goods brought under the hammer of a Uni
ted States officer, every inhabitant Of the
Key is directly, or indirectly, benefited.
The merchandise is sold for song, and
gold and silver rattle about in every drec-
ton. All isjoy them every countenance
is lit up with smiles, and even the negroes
show their ivory at the prospect Of finger
ing the hard stuff:

BY the following extract from the Philadelphia
Ledger it will be seen that the MERMAID, said to
have been caught in the latitude of the Fegees is
now in the City of New York.
IMPORTANT TO NATURALISTS-AM ER-
MAID CAUGHT.
I'VE hare seen Mermaid!-S not,
and curl your lip in scorn; though concern
ing a fish, it is not IA fish story. We have
seen the tangible evidence exhibited to our
senses of the existence Of that monster,
hitherto deemed fabulous by all the learned,
though reIigiously believed by every salt
water naturalist that ever crossed the Gulf
stream.
A mermaid we have seen, not in the al
Turing garb and seductive form represented
in the picture books, with ar Angel's face,
which The Naiad beauty, herself enamored
Of, is delightfully."- gazing at in a looking
glass made by some submarine mechanic,
probably her lover; the mermaid we saw
has none o. these attractions, but is as ugly
little monster as was ever seen, reScm-
bling more in appearance about the upper
part Of the body, n nsumifed monkey. than
an angelic fish. Still, the monster is one

was caught near the Fecjee Islands and
taken 10 Pernambuco, where it was pur-
chased by an English gentleman named
Griffin, who is making a collection Of rare
and curious things for the British Museum,
or some other cabinet Of curiosities. This
animal, fish, flesh, or whatever it may be,
is about three feet long, and the lower part
Of its body is a perfectly formed fish; but
from is breast upwards, this character is
lost, and it then approaches the human
form-or rather that Of the monkey. 1t
has a pair Of perfectly formed breasts,
arms, and hands; the latter resembling the
human hand more than a monkeys with
white nails on the finger ends. The head
is also larger than a monkeys head, though
shaped somewhat like it; the top is bald,
but the sides are covered with hair, which
extends down even with the neck, like the
wcll-traincd ringlets of some fair damsel.
The cheeks, eyes and lips, all bear re-
scmblance to humanity, except the chm,
which is deficient. The animal is now in
charge Of gentleman at Jones' Hotel, who
is about to leave for New York. 1t is
worthy the attention of naturaists, al.ho'
the owner has refused to exhibit it public
ly.
Now the question arises, is not this the
mermaid so much talked of, and whose
existence there is ample testimony to cs-
tabIish, though SO generally doubted! Ac-
counts Of them state, that one of them was
fshcd up in England, 1887, and kept six
months alive, and finally escaped by plung
ing into the sea. One was caught in the
mud, in the dykes Of Holland. in 1870, a[-
ter a tempest. Seven mcrmcn and MGR
maids were caught together in one net, in
1860, at the Island of Ceylon. Notwith-
standing all this testimony, the existence
Of the creature was still doubted, and might
have been doubted 10 the end Of creation,
if fortune had not thrown the Feejee beau-
fy into the hands Of the present proprietor,
where all may satisfy themselves Of It's
reality.
