MORE OF THE DOINGS OF JOHN
TYLER AND HIS FRIENDS.

This enfiriaied somnambulisi, lead blind
folded by that honest Iago, C. P. Van Ness,
has recently been grouping his way among
the Green Mountains. He first entered the
Stale at Bennington, where he applied his
scimetar 10 the postmaster Of that place !;
then strobe on 10 Burlington, where he de-
capitated Collector Briggs and Postmaster
Stacy, both placed in Office by himself. He
then crossed 10 Montpelier, and restored
Harry Richardson to his old post in the
Custom House the last we heard of him he
was in Woodstock where, without the least
notice. he had guilloiined Mr.. Postmaster
Eaton 10 make room for the editor of the
Age, who laid the lash so well upon him in
$40. In the mean time we find friend
Moore, Postmaster of Bellows Falls has
beea appalled,. by his fearful stcppings. into
resignation. His recent appointments have
beer made for reasons satisfactory TO no.
body but himself and the recipients Of his
favors. They are in strict accordance with
his blind ambition and his fool hardy policy
10 perpeiuale his reign by betraying his
principles and party who disdain bis pelf
and tempting the more easy virucof their op
poncnis. Those who have taken his bids arc
rabid locofocos, and will continue .heir We
nal subscrviency as long as they can make
profitable game out Of his creduity.-
Snould they at last betray him, they can
shield themselves from the reproach Of in-
gratitude by pleading his own example as a
specimen of political ireachery never befure
before cqualled in the history of the coUn-
try. Way his Accidency has stepped over
Middlebury in his recent progress of reform,
must be for tie want Of satisfactory inform.
alton as 10 the most plant tool of his ambi.
ton in these diggings. But from the de-
vclopmcnt made last week we fear the dan.
ger is increasing. A single living Tyler
man has revealed himself among US. upon
whom he can bestow his favors with a full
assur lnce that he will serve him TO the death.
BY the following communication it will be
seen that The ex-editor of the Plowman has
poured out upon the vile slaves Of party and
revilers of JohJ Tyler strain of indignant
eloquence which will be caution TO their
future conduct, and en- earnest ofthe orators
future allegiance. Like Baron bold,' he
pressed forward amid the SCOTS and Sneers
and scrapings and siampings ofthe whipped
ours of whiggery and locofocoism, until be
placed John Tyler upon an emInence of lof.
~ patriotism and political purity which all
the Washingions in the world might have
envied, and which at last called forth q vote
of thanks 10 the speaker for his inimitatle
performance. He doub less worked for pay
and makes 10 secret Of claiming his reward.
Nor should we marvel that John TYLER, who
has so often been so easily duped, should
listen TO the devoirs Of John Milton Stearus,
as little enchanting as they may seem to 9TH
ers. Many of The descriptions Of tie writer
are truly graphic Of the scene, while others
pariake Of mere fancy sketch which, how
ever, may furnish some innocent amuse-
meni 10 The reader.
