The anticipated visit of President Tyler to this
| section OF the country produces an unusual degree
of anxiety TO the manner of his reception, and
to the persons who are TO compose his Z" body
guard" Here, with us, you know, every body is
somewhat of politician, and necessarily sort Of
party man. And tits therefore matter of the more
curiosity to ascertain whe the individuals are who
will undertake to get up n procession to receive
| John Tyler. When Mr. Van Buren, arrived here,
while President, all distinctions of party were thrown
aside, and his political enemies contributed as much
towards the reception of the President OF the United
States, as did his warmest friends. He was received
the chief executive officer OF the country, and all
differences of wing or democrat, were. on that occa
sion, blended into the patriot. But in the case Of
John Tyler, fear that the proper respect due
| the man will scarcely be regarded. As he has aban-
| doned the party which elevated him to his present
giddy heights and as the democrats desPise any as
sociation with traitor, it is questionable whether
the common courtesles of the city will be extended
to him. He is expected to visit Albany in about
ten or twelve days. but neither the corporation nor
