the churches very thiny attended the people be-
ing more inclined to keep within than without
doors have no news to tell, and will therefore
depalt from my usu | matter OF fact course, and
give brief review of the present status of Sunday
matters and men.
PREsrDENr's TYLERs position is one of strict
neutrality between Clay and Van Buren, yet
there can be no doubt that il is far more for his
interest that Clay should be the next President
than Van Bnren. Some think his neutrality
leans towards Clay; OF this he may be Judged by
his acts. leading object with him retain his
friends OF the old democratic republican school,
and retaining, to hold them together in union
Should ne succeed in doing this he at all times
WELD a balance of power, which neither Clay nor
Van Buren, will dare to defy

Jection-the appointment OF a Minister TO Mexico,
