OF the land have been sacrificed purely for the rea
sous that Mr. Tyler should not have the merit Of bs-
,ng the agent who obtained them .
Mr. Tyler has been traduced, vii flied with nearly
al the epthets 10 10 found ia the vocabulary has
been threatened with mpeachment--beng charged
,h being traitor 10 his country, and on recent
occasion, been charged with the crime Of "pirscy"
and in discrganxing spirit the officers OF the army
aud navy have been warned from high place, to
beware how they obey the orders OF President Tyler
lest, some twenty years hence, they may be tired
therefor, and be condemned TO be shot by court
martial.
These are few Of the obstacles and difficulties
thrown in the way of Mr.. Tyler. which he has had
TO encounter while engaged in the administration Of
the affairs of Government. These are some OF The
assaults made his cha acter and traducemen.s he
has been called TO experience. Blu, they have been
the acts Of unprncipIed politicians and far as re-
CARDS MIR. 1'ylers future fame aud character, have
fallen harmless at his feet ~.
The PEorLE have at all times reposcd the fullest
confidence in Mr.. Tyler; and it is that confidence
tina, has sustained him while it has been exultingly
proclaimed that he was without party. The Peo-
pie have known Mr. Tylers motives To be patriotic,
and his purposes to be pure and honest and gave him
their confidence, and will never, without good and
just cause, Withdraw it. They will uphold and de-
fend the "acciden,al" Presidcn, for the blessings
which have been showered upon them during his ad-
minstration. N

FOR THE MADIsokiAN.
Ma. Epuroa BY calculation recently published
il is made 10 appear that the calling of the yeas and
nays cost the nation at the last Of the House
Of Representatives, the sum Of eighlyone thousand
hundred and sixty cght dollars and seventy five
cents II is stated that the yeas aud nays cali
ed three hundred and fityone times, which, allow
ing twenty live minutes rs the average time required
for each calling, produces the result above stated
The actual time consumed, however, is believed to
be nearer thirty than Twenty-Five minutes,
About four years ago memorial was prepared to
be presented to Congress- proposing the adoption by
the House Of machine, the details Of which had
then been organized by an ingenious mechanician,
by means of which the whole transaction might be
completed in less than two minutes, ach member
touching of two knobs connected with his desk
by which the vote yea or nay would be simultane-
ousIy recorded opposite each members by means
Of printing press up the Clerks table. The me-
mortal in question not presented but the trans
actions Of the late session have revived the dea and
it will probably be brought forward the next meet

by the aid of such an instrument, will not be its only
recommendation, but il will probably have the effect
also Of causing the call TO be made with less frequen
cy, as il is now resorted TO, fgeneral opinion be
rect, for the purpose of STAYING of questions by
Stunning time and wearying the members Of the
House.
The machine above referred to would sui ersede the
practice Of voting by tellers, and would all
sions, where vote was taken, give The result
that which is now obtained by the calling of the
yeas and nays, and that with unerrng certainty
is, all votes Of the house would be accurately re.
