with the subject If Distribution, ~ 9hl"
SAID he, 'you know what certain por.

them"
And for this il was that denounced
his pharissical and hypocritcal cant abou,
the COMPROMISE act when he vetoed the
Tariff Bill because it violated, as he said j,

"Why confne you to what7" said with
surprise.

Why not t,oeire am now only finish
ing on, the unexpred term Of General
HARRISON, and il can make my admins
tration popular, why should not be enl-
tied to IN election on my own account,
and then if | could make myself accepts-

done b. fore"
"Wby Mr.. Tyler" answered, "you
forget the one term principle" mo"
said he, "lr every body elsa would be

!, but no body else is, and why should |
be-"
"Wby, Mr.. Tyler said !, ole, me en-
treat you, eren in jest, never 10 talk this
way to any body else"
TINS having he II id apparently half
in Jest an hall in earnest, was doubtful
how he intended it, until in more serious
tom he resum d:

those measures Of rrlef, which we have
promised to the country--you shall never
waot supporter on the floor while am
there and able to reud r you assistance;-
but, by CD, MT. Tyler, if It is your pur-
pose to betray that party, and to defeat
their measures; ii il IS your purpose 10
break them down and set up party for
yourself-l'l be damned If ever you did
see more violent and bitter opponent
than you will find IN me: and as for Office
to which you ha alluded let me say 10
you that there is not nm office IN the off,
of the Executive that des re 10 h Id, aud
not one that | would consent 10 acc, pt, il
it were to pc alts ded with the slightest
sacrifice OF my political int gritty, or OF
the confidence of my constituents.
"Well, well, said he, "we won, talk any
more about this nnw--come take otfyour
