REJECTION OF TYSON

! We "ic ""' HppUScd OF the reasons, which led 10
the rejection OF this gentleman, by the Senate, as
Commssary OF Purchases at Philadelphia. We
had heard that the manner in which he sought the
Office, was not crediiable him and that probably
excited Just apprehension with the Senate that h.
was not worthy OF trust. The vote of the Senate
30 to il-embracins n mSiory OF both par,ies--is
Praa faeis evidence OF the correctness Of tho deci
sion.
The rejection has thrown MIR Tyler's Mr. John
Jones into terrible passion, and he threatens &c
neral sweep As specimen of mpo,ent rage, and
as disclosing the views Of a constitutional Govern.
ment, entertained by this Immaculate administration
we annex few passages:

We thought Mr. Tyler held the doctrine. that the
President had no right 10 remove without The con
currence Of the Senate. Such was his opinion. NJ
well ~ that of Mr. Webster, before the election.
To this effect We find tho following passage in
Mr. Wobsier's Speech before the Convention in this
city 9Th Of October, 1910.
