HON. CHEssELDEN ELLIS, OF N. Y.

We are much gratlied TO see the speech of
this gentleman on the Annexation of Texas, as
well as his course generally highly commended
by the Press in and out of his own State. His
speech has had an immense run, and his fame
is firmly established throughout the Union.
1t may not, however, be generally known,
that Mr.. Ellis has been prescribed al home, by
means Of combination of the enemies of Mr.
Tyler's Administration, and the enemies of
Annexation. 1t may be remembered that Mr..
E.. at the close of the last session of Congress,
introduced a resolution approving the course of
Mr.. Tyler, &C., which was adopted We are
told that the politicians alluded TO, after reflect
ing on the consequences of the resolution re-
ferred to- took umbrsge at it, and aflixing the
brand of Tylerism" to Mr.. E., nominated
another candidate in his place. But inasmuch
as Mr.. E. was right, and his opponents wrong,
we have reason to believe he will not repent his
magnanimous course.

THE MAN WHO SAYS No.-Did ever a man
get so much reputation by silence, as our new
PRESIDENT We had paper sent TO us by the
Wings, while the election was pending, rec-
ting more than thirty occasions, if we recoIlect
right, in every one Of which Mr.. Polk had voted
No. Weput him down for great man at once.
But he has gone beyond that, since The election,
for now he will not speak at ALL To be sure,
he talks Familiarity with all the old men, young
men, and boys-everybody, in fact who comes
as fellow citizen to see the President. He
would answer the preliminary questions of any
Yankee, Where did you come from 2" and
"Are you goin' to Washington % But when
the question comes, What do you think o'don'
when you git there 2n he turns it all off to no
thing. So far as we can discover, nobody has
been able to get one word from the man as to
the composition of his Cabinet or what he in
tends to do when the government is organized
1t is not even coyectured who is TO be Collec-
tor or Post Master in New York. Well, on the
4th of March he will be obliged to speak, and
even for once to say yes or he cannot be Pres
ident If he could keep still month longer,
there would hardly be an anti-Polk man or wo-
man throughout the country.

THE GREAT WEEK.

Last week, as we predicted IL would, closed
IN "blaze of glory" The events OF that
week will make the Twenty Eighth Congress
memorable throughout future generations Tor
the great and beneficial achievements effected
during its existence. These achievements,
with the many others Of importance during his
Administration, will illustrate the evenuul
career of President Tyler, and contribute TO
eternize his name.
Three "new" States added 10 the Union in
one week! And the enemies OF John Tyler
have the modification TO behold such consum-
NATION during the closing days of his Admins
uaton! To say nothing of The Postage bill,
among other acts of importance, within the last
frwweeks, were sent 10 the lreaties( unanimously
ratRed) with China and New Grenada. Surely,
in after times, when the petty calumuies of the
present day are forgotten, and the breasts now
burning with resentments are still and cold, the
whole nation. without distinction of party-and
indeed the civilized wohd-will acknowledge
the wisdom and benehcence of the Great Crea-
tor, IN so directing the events of the past as to
yemmenl on the bootlessly reyiled John Tyler
The ways of Providence are mysterious, but
always Just. We now see that the simulIane-
Gus, and almost universal condemnation Of Pre-
sident Tyler, did not, and could not prevent
him from administering the Government with
more success, aud with more honor, than, per
haps, any other President since the adoption of
the Constitution. In vain was he declared TO
be "a President without party"-in vain was
he literally made TO be so, by the furious political
leaders on either hand: for we have seen the
man whose partisans first assailed him, as well
as his competitor for the Presidency, who tacitly
consented land by his organs operated actively
10 unite with his Wing foe in crushing the Con
stitulional and Providential President,-boGh ay
both ovsrthrown by the recoll of their own
blows unjustly dealt upon this Administration
In politics, as well as in all the affairs of this
life, TO be completely and permanently success
ful, il is essential TO be completely and perma-
nently Just. With the assistance of Providence
the apparently fnendless and powerless indlvi
dual, when trodden upon and wantonly maltreat-
ed, is often enabled TO turn upon his prosecutors
and destroy them in twinklrng, like Moses did
the Egyptians.
President Tyler has been necessarily assaied
with abuse and detaction, and he has retaated
by comforting nnumerable and incaculable ben
efts upon his country. Thus he has placed a
gnawing worn that never dies" in the breas,
Of each of his assailants. They see that the
measures they opposed were not only adopted in
spite of their exeuions, but that the country will
bless their originators forever. Thus, in return
for the vilificarion of the present day, Mr. Tyler
will reap the plaudits of posterity, and his re-
vilers will inherit only excavations. And thu:
it is that glory is ever won. 1t must be done by
great exerlions, long suffering, and waiting fol-
the award of succeeding generations.
