Captain Robert Tyler In Ireland and the
United States.

According TO some recent accounts from Ireland
we perceive that Captain Robert TYLER of Wash
ngon, is creating sensation in Ireland only second
to that produced by Dan O'Connell himself
This Captain Robert Tyler is a very curious man.
during the last two years, he has been creating
sensation In this country of more eccentric and
curious character, than any person that ever be-
longed to the White House. Captain Robert Tyler
is perfect original in his way. He is original in
form, original in appearance, original in the cut of
his hair in his mind in his imagination, in his
politics. and in every thing. He is and has been a
warm advocate for repeal, and has excited the re-
peal associations in this country TO an extraordi-
nary extent. This going over to Ireland, and he
being the son of the President contributed to give
him an extraordinary position among the Irish
people, far beyond what he can ever produce
in this country by such course. But although in
this country he could not create any feeling in re-
lation 10 these matters he has, individuality pro-
duced some wonderful things in his attempts du-
ring the last two years to form Tyler party in
New York, Philadelphia, and other cities. His
journeyings TO and from New York, his cosetings
with several of the politicians here, his solemn
plans for organizing his Pas party and his
curious views and curious looks, and om,e
appearance, have all contributed to give him
distinctness of character, and a certain &C.
centrlcity and notoriety of reputation, which
Is almost without parallel since the time of John
Randolph of Roanoke. In fact, consider Capt.
Bob Tyler as the second edition of John Randolph
of Roanoake-without his soul, spirit, vivacity,
but with all his eccentriclty, and more of mathe-
NAUTICAL accuracy in his mind.
Yet il is singular that Notwithstanding yhese
efforts to organize his Pas party, he has never been
able to reach in any large city beyond few hun
dreds. In this city the highest point it ever at
taned was about $50, after the kind of Mike
Walsh, who was always considered by the Presi-
dent one of the most glorious props of democracy
in New York
The last feat of Capt. Bob Tyler in politics has
been developed in Washington. At the last session
OF Congress, his Pa'sparty In the House numbered
about SIX members. Before the organization of
the present Congress, Captain Bob was very busy
organizing an opposition to Van Buren,, and en-
deavorng to collect all the discordant materials of
the locofoco camp.
He would sit down in the taverns of Washing
ton, and discourse eloquenty and largely upon the
subject for nights and nights together he would
wander up and down Pennsylvania Avenue, with
has strong wiry locks waving in the western wind
full of his great project, which was almost equal in
point of heroic grandeur to the conceptions of
Paradise Lost,
WE'LL what is the result of all these labours and
closetngs, and talkings, and discussions, and con
situations, and calculations before the session OF
Congress? Why, we find that Blair and Rives,
were elected by one of the mosttremendous mao-
rites that printers obtained and that Mr. Wise
and the Guard is reduced to one, and they actually
vote for Napier's Double Cylinder Press, as the
most respectable of the Tyler party in Congress
We really wish now, that Captain Bob Tyler, hav-
ing seen the effects of his movements on repeal.
and the effects of his movements in politics, would
confine his attentions hereafter to poetry and elo-
quence, upon comprehensive scale. He can
write very pretty poetry; and he makes a very
good sessions lawyer. We, therefore, invite him
10 this city, and we shall take care to report him
regularly, If he will set himself down to practise at
the bar.
