That Mr. Tyler is now at lenst beginning TO view
his situation in IFS true light, and TO feel great
dcspnndcncy in regard 10 tho issue is not longer n
matter Of doubt. a fow weeks since tho President
expressed ~ Mr. Ponjleton, recently appointed

Now is not n very general impression among
politicians here or elsewhere, that Mr. Tyler has

expression, which forms the conclusion Of the last

the question, so far his chances Of success nro in.
