Tylers claims no longer passed over in silence
by the patriotic and substantial freemen Of that just
" distinguished dstrict-the time honored district
of John Taylor and John Roane. The recen, move.
ments in this old Democratic County, and indeed in
the whole district furnish the cleares evidence not

and Calhoun men, MIR. Tyler having, at that time,
