You are a poor man, and vii feel IL more sensi-

"Why, Mr. Tyler" said I, "ot me onrea, you,

il, until in a moro serious tone he resumed
Now Bolts, don't YOU 60 Oft half cooked, and
oppose my adnlnis,ra,on--I had rather any man
in Congress should oppose my administration than
you'll am under greater obligations TO you than
my body else. md there Is no man whose inter

ne not of my selection; this Is Gen. Harri-
sons Cabinet, and do not know how long can
i've in harmony with them. | don't know how
