might carry the day. because, if we defeated, as
we expect to be, he will come back to the capitol in

and his talents and bearing superior to three
fourths of those Senators who voted against him.
Mr. Tyson was in the full performance OF the duties

Senators voting for and against MIR. Tyson.
Seven of the best and ablest men, and Wings, in
the Senate, to wit -Messrs. Bates, Choate, Evans,
Preston, Rives, Sprague and Tallmadge, voted for
Mr. Tyson with four loco focos, Messrs Calhoun,
Cuthbert, McRoberts and Walker.
The only two Wings of decided talent who voted
in the negative were Messrs. Critlenden and Man

confirmation OF gentleman who labored so long and
successfully in favor Of the nomination OF the beloved
Harrison.

Tyson because we know him, and worthier man

REJECTION OF MR.. TYSON.

This gentleman was first appointed Surveyor OF
the Port Of Philadelphia, and his nomination was un-
hesitatngly confirmed by the Senate On the occur
renee of vacancy IN the post of Commssary Gene
rail- occasjoned by the death of Gen. g. Irvine, Mr.
Tyson was Immediately transferred that office by
President Tyler, and has discharged its duties ever
since December last But the Senate, after hesitang
about the nomination for more than five months, have
at last dared to reject it And this in the face OF
their confirmation of his appointment Surveyor,
and their express acknowledgment of his fitness for
Office
The truth is, neither the President or the Senate
doubt ia the least Mr. Tyson's capacity for either of
these offices. But the Senate, since they confirmed
his Suiveyorshp, have discovered that he is perso-
nal and political friehd of Mr.. Tyler This is a ca
pital crime in the eyes Of the Clay Wings in the Sc
nate, punishable in all cases with political DEATH
Some fifty more ofthese Criminals are now hang
ing in suspense, before the Senate, under the awful
charge of friendship for President Tyler.
The following is the vote of the Senate on the sub

CORRESPONDENCE offhe N. Y. Evening Post


The rejection of Mr.. Tyson whose name has been
for several months before the Senate as Commissary
General of Purchases, is topic of general CONVEX
sation The vote stood % to II, four democrats, viz
Calhoun, Cuthbert, Walker, and McRoberts, and
seven wings, Evans, Bates, Choate, Sprague, Tai
madge Riyes, --, voting for him. The conduct
of the wings is to many unaccountable, because, at
the extra session. they confirmed the nomination Of
this same gentleman, Surveyor OF the Port Phia-
delphia, without dissenting voice and now, only
seven wings in the same Senate can be found
to vote in his favor for ON Office which they will
allow he is abundanly Qualified to fill. 1t may be
asked, in the expressive language of MIR Calhoun
'Can you, gentlemen, state one reason why Mr.. Iy-
son shall be rejected 2" If the Clay Senators could
not state one reason why he should be rejected, will
state one, and the only one why he was rejected /;
and that is he is friend Of the President, which is
enough to satisfy every true Clay man
The question asked among politicians is what course
will the President pursue in future, having fully
certaned that there is settled purpose, on the part
Of the Clay faction to break down his administration
II is believed that he will nominate no man to office
who is suspected Of being inmical to his admins
tration, no matter how well he fought in the shard
cider campaign" and those gentlemen who are the
liege subjects of the immortal Harry should have
their walking tickets before they could say Jack
Robinson Nearly all the important Offices are filled
with gentlemen who are the avowed friends of his
vilifer and calumnator and hundreds Of democrats
of good character and sound principles were hurled
of putting in their place Clay puppets. This is the
opinion which prevails here, among the best inform
ed wing politicians. The Clay wings with their lead
er, will then have opportunity of Judging whether
Mr. Tyler is the 'weak, vacillatng' man they repre-
sent him.

Mr. Clay left Washington on Thursday, for his
home in the West He goes into private life, as his
friends believe only for brief season. at the end of
which they expect him to return to the Capitol to re-
ceive upon his brow the civic wreath. But they are
to be disappointed. Mr.. Clay has enacted his part
in the great drama of life, and is already man Of
yesterday In politics he belongs to by-gone school
He came upon the stage ia stormy period of public
affairs, with brilliant talents chivalrous feelings and
all the elements of apopuar leader His sympathies
were with the people, and he arranged himself with
the party of the people, Had he remained faithful
in his popular sympathies, he would in all probabs
But he "snned against liberal IDEAS by becoming
the champion of associations clques and clubs, and
the advocate Of the privileges of the few instead of
the rights of the many. This false step gave the
character to his whole subsequent life and the con
sequence of il is that he has never had, and has not
now any available strength with the people. Ardent
admirers, devoted friends, he has ever had and ever
will have but unfortunately for him. they in the
minority--a position out Of which they can neither
drag him nor he them for they have no sympathes

his fortune upon such incidents of life rather than
upon the broad basis of humanity, there is power
over him which he cannot control--the power of

The writer of the above letter is informed, that we
shall not oppose John Tyler the President of these
United States, without just and sufficient cause-nor
shall we stop his paper till he pays us for those we
have already sent him When we see the President
wrong shall oppose him fairly fearlessly, and
openly. We do not hold to the doctrine of condemn
ing a man without cause. We never approved of
Mr.. Tylers course in using the Veto Power, but nc
is our President and shall continue to show him
at least the respect due to him and his station Our
correspondent will not brighten nor drive US into an
opposition of the present administration by the threat
of stopping his paper We had much rather he would
discontinue it than to take it, AND NEVER PAY.
The editor Of the Gazette is made of the pro-
per material. BY the way we have given a
fine circulation to the Richmond Wings choice
article. Since we set it float, we have seen it

aamhing it greatly. The Wing has done some
good in its day and generation.
