and merits have secured him long continued and

claims Of John Tyler Democrat, but constantly
kept in view end directed his whole attention to the
issue made up between Capt. Tyler and the Wings
and their coadutors, in their attempt to head him,
and that county saved Mr. Moore from defeat. Mr..

friends would not allow his unfortunate address to be
circulated at ALL but marked it Suppressed docs-

and one OF the editors Of the Empire defeated
in county where several years ago he and the De-
mocratic candidate for Congress could have been
elected with much ease.
