the succession of MIR. Tyler to the Presidency.
Some allowance is undoubtedly to be made for
a pcsyish and fetlul old man, who has been
struggling and toiing aud sweating for upwards
of twenty years to attain an object which is al
this day more distant than IT ever was-render-
cd so, too, by his own rashness and impetuosi-
~. Instead Of soivg into the support OF
MIR. Tyer's Administration, he begins in a sp'
rio Of dictation and ends in the scolding OF a

course on the Bank question in both Houses OF
Congress; He had heard him in every possible
form over aud over again, assert and re-asseT
his opposition TO Bank on constitutions
grounds--had heard his votes given in 1919
in 1882, and in lS3i-knew that he had no
only voted against the renewal of the charter
in 1882, but had sustained General Jackson.
