work has recently been issued in New York
devoted to brief review Of the life and acts of the
present Chief Magistrate of the United States."' In
this publication the calumnes of Mr.. Tyler's enc
mics are triumphantly repealed and a most clear sr.
pose made Of the frauds and dshonorabe motives Of
the Clay Wing Congress-that 9th Congress which
attempted to trample the rights Of the people and
the rights Of the Executive under foot. Their in
sdous design in attaching to bills beneficial mea-
sures clauses which they knew the President could
not approye-their impudent thrusting forward of
acts nImcal 10 the very principles they had loudly
proiessed during the electioneering campalgn-ther
unjusthable and bitter hostility TO the Executive
are deneated briefly but graphically.
John Tyler, President Of the United States, was
born in the County Of Charles City, Va, March 29th,
1890; educated at William aud Mary College,
and completed his legal studies under the direction
Of the celebrated Edmund Randolph. In 1909 he
was admitted TO the bar, and two years afterwards
chosen TO the legislature, as member for his native
county, by very large vote, having just attained his
twenty hrst year. lie continued member till 1916,
when he was chosen member Of the Privy Council
Of state. In the fall Of 1916 he was chosen 10 rep
resent Richmond county in the House Of Represen-
tatyes of the United States, Of which he continued
member till 1921, when, in consequence of i'll
health he declined a reelection. In 1898 he was
again chosen member Of the Legislature Of Vir-
ginia and continued one till 1926 when he was
chosen Governor of Virginia, and was unanimously
reelected In the ensuing year. In 1927 he was
TIL 1896 during which time he was elected Presi-
dent pro tcn. of the Senate, when in consequence of
his inability 10 reconcile certain instructions Of the
legislature with his sense of constitutional obga-
ton, he went into retirement, in which he remained
until elected Vice President of the United States in
1910, with the exception of service Of session
in the Legislature in 1898 from the county Of James
City
On the 4h Of April Is4l he succeeded 10 the Prcsi-
dency the death Of Gen Harrison. He had thus fill
ed every political Office in the gift Of the people Of Vr-
GINA before his elevation TO the highest Office in the
nation yet II is remarkable fact that he has never
sought any station and that all his offices have been
conferred by the direct action Of the people. An
examination Of his political course shows him to have
been always OF the democratic school, and always
firm in pursuing the dictates Of his reason and con
science. The following remarkable passage is from
an Ant-Bank speech delivered by hun 10 the House
Of Representatives so far back as 10 8
my o,on personal popularity can hare n influence
rhen NE dictates Of my best Judgment and Hs OBJ
legations At OATH require Of particular course.
Under such circumstances, rhefer sink or urim on The
tide Of popular tdror, is 10 mailer Of inferior con-
sderafion "
The pamphlet before US enters INTO an analysis Of
the Presidents principles and policy, and successful
y vindcates him from the attacks Of his opponents.
II is worthy Of most extensive circulation.
