DEAR BENNETT
There are many things, sayings and doings, IN
our inland city that deserve to be noted land asyour
journal is the only one of which preserve regu-
lar file, for binding for future reference. will keep
you advised occasionally Of the richest portion
and such as you deem worthy please insert.
Th, responce to the Tyler Committee of your
city, for the appointment of delegates to State
Convention, was farce in keeping with the Jug
ers that unworthily feed upon the spos Of Office
the Postmaster, Collector OF the Port (who by the
way has been rejected by the committees report
to the Senate, his influential and talented deputies,
assembled en- p,asse to appoint or hire such dele
gate under the general superintendance OF the Vice
Chancellor. A Mr.. A. II: Jones, whlg for years,
but who is as unceasng Tor office as the Postmas-
ter HIMSELF was offered twenty dollars and expen-
SEES paid, all the honors and Accompaniment over
and above Singular to relate, even Mr.. j. refused
and as last resort, Mr.. AmOry Amsden was EN-.
poyed, warm Van Buren, man, who knows far
more of hydrostacs than politics. Whilst this
was concocting Col Edward Simms Watson, once
the embodiment of Tylersm, and still the conf
dental correspondent Of Capt. Bob, called meeting
of the genuine Tyler men, for Tylers sake, and not
the crumbs such men as the classic Colonel had
it, "who loved Office much yea, much, but
Tyler more" Well, as to be expected from'such II
call, the Colonel at the hour was on hand. After
waiting an hour he called himself to order, ap-
pointed himself chairman, OBLIGATED as secretary,
and declared himself duly elected delegate ex-
amined first one pocket and then the other, re-
ported them minus the necessary funds, accepted
the report, and resigned the ofiice--wen, home and
received the coincidence of his family. | have this
from his own lips The Colonel declares, and ]
sincerely believe true that he is the only honest
Tyler man in this city. Never was man more un.
mercfuyduped cheated and betrayed by supposed
friends than is John Tyler by his office holders
here; and nothing under heaven keeps them in
place, but the influence of the Postmaster with j.
G. Spencer.
The wings had great glorification on the occa-
sion of Clay's birth day-lots OF New York bacon
and classic melodies. The Grafton by Judge C.was
a lame and impoient affair.
The Fourerites bid fair to outshine your particu-
lar friend Jo Smith. Their dreams are golden, If
not as beatiic; some half dozen ASSOCIATE ons
have their head quarters or Offices IN this city.
From the character of those enlisted IN the scheme
presage that their visions and speculative theories
will be changed into mortfylng realities see by
your paper that the great apostle has SEIZED for the
east, and left Horace alone, TO revr ~ lie shades
of Ashland.
