RICHMOND WING.
FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 10.
yeyss, Of Disesrers }

A gentleman of our Acquaintance, close observ>
or OF men aud things, has just returned from trip
throughout the Southern States. He reports. that
from the day he lett Richmond, until he got home,
in every city, town, and hamlet, IN every stage,
steam and steamboat, he made dgen, inquiry
for Tyler man. lie passed through the Old North
State-thc land OF stout hearts and pretty women
but no such animal was to be found. lie enter.
ed the land OF ehivary-the region prolific OF every
thing rich and rare-bat the combination of all its
oddities could not make conscience politician per
Sc. Consistent and eriiiesI gentlemen were found
in abundance-hut they all repudiated the con
science part Of the curiosity. He felt confident, he
should have better luck in Georgia. Some
ugly splo,ehes upon the fair eseutcheon Of
that gallant State had induced him to suppose
she might, by some great exertion, give birth
to such monsters. lie wa, ngreeably disappoinl-
ed He heard OF some remote approximations
but they proved to be failures. Unadultera-
ted Co,c -bcyism could not flourish in the land OF
Crawford and Troup. The same result attended
all his researches in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississip
pi, Tennessee Out ofthe pale of the official corps
among the people-the object he was in quest
OF could no where bo found Nature seemed TO
have the same adherence TO il, as TO a vacuum
lie encountered in his travels several other gen.
tlemen engaged in the same pursuit with himself.
Their abours had been fruilless as his own. He
compared notes with them. Some of them had ira.
versed e.ery section and of the country-apd
in ra the little villages and large towns by the way,
had offered large rewards for genuine isrtiun guild
of the conscientious schoo.-But in vain, the thing
did not eais, and could no, be produced. Every
where, bue one sentiment prevaied-shared
alike by all men of all parties-that of scorn and
loaihing fer the abortion, which sit, in the Exc
cutive Chair. Ii almost excites one, pity TO
think Of the wretehed fate, which this man has
brought down upon himself He will quit the sta
ton which he dishonors, when his brief term-(,oo
lorg for his eountry's cood)-expires, amidst the
universal contempt and deiesation of his country
men. May his fate be warning through all time
TO aspiring weakness-to vanity aud TO peridy.
Our friend reports, that whilst he found the
Wings, every where, eXecrating the rcachsrous
creature, whom. IN an unucky moment, they had
trus,eS;-wiih one accord, they shouted the name
of Harry Of the West-and pointed to that great
Patriot the hope and stay of the Republic. Their
seorn and adherence Of Tyer-,he SYNONYM Of
perfdy and weakness-seemed to iniame their sd.
miration and devotion to aim, who is tho opposite
to him in all things. When the time comes for the
combat-and the whips begin TO crack, there will
be an ou,bursi of popular fury against the be,ray-
of the national veal, and in support Of those,
who have ever stood by the honor nd prosperity of
the country-whieh has never been witnessed, since
these States had national existence. The great
evil commoton OF lstO will be but ehild's play in
the comparison.
