From tic augusta (SianntOn) DemrclaII
EX-PRESlDENT TYLER.
Ex-Prcslcn, Tyler passed through this place
~ Tuesday last. fn rouie 10 The White Sulphur.
The news OF his expected arrival reached our
Town on the morning Of the same day, but entirely
100 la,e for our citizens 10 make any extensive
arrangements 10 honor his arrival. However.
respectable number Of Republicans, and few
Wings. assembled at The Washington Hotel, for
The purpose of receiving in suitable manner
the man who had filled the highest station in the
Gift OF free people. His entrance into the town
was hailed BY the discharge OF cannon, and other
demonstrations on the part o. our citizens.
Upon his arrival AT the Hotel, he was met by
number OF his tellow.citzenS, who insisted upon
his presenting himself 10 those whom he had so
lately served Che>ley Kinney, Esq. introduced
him TO The assembled crowd, whereupon ID. w.
Pa,,eson, Esq, addressed HIM nearly as ne can
remember 10 the following effect:
MIR. Tyler-A namh"r Of yonr personal and
political friends having learned, b. the arrival OF
The mail stage, few hour Since, that yon would
probably be here this evening, have assembled 10
greet yuu; and have requested me 10 welcome
YOU 10 Stanton, and 10 the Mountains OF Au-
susla." where General Washington said "l.iber-
" in the last resort would be secGre. need
scarcely inform yon how mnch pleasure take
in performing this Iuiy in lcir behalf Though
von may gather scores OF welcome by Just cast
ing your ewes on the councnances of The La
dies Of the upper porico, in The windows &c,
and Of the crowd OF citizens around above, and
below you. take the more pleasure in giving
voice 10 the welcome you STE around you, be-
cause this has been prominent point Q! deiama-
lion and de,raction of your personal honor and
political integrity trust. Sir, that you read in This
demonstration, the opinion of disinle!esed free
men. that The iotmer has been fully vin'iicaied,
and the latter entirely approved. Pardon me for
anv aliusion 10 politics, cf which you must have
had quite snrfe Perhaps my own feelings,
rather than good taste, have controlled me. !
congratulate YOU on the success ot your efforts 10
bring two trllian, stars into union, one with
Yourself, and the other with the family Of 2i sis
ters." Here beautiful Ioyquct was handed Mr..
p. by William NJ. Hartman, Esq, with note;
and he resumed.] "Yes, Sir, Go Mr.. H. Ill do
il arih a relish. Mr.. TYLER. here is a bunch Of
flowers sen, by some Democratic Ladies-What
do you think of thai?- Democratic Ladi,s,,-to
be presented through you 10 MIS- Tyler, with this
message, Wnl these arc I'pey Eoccrs, and SO call
ed because they have stood unharmedth the present
proiracled and severe drousht-prctly much as
yon did the very scorching and fiery ordeal through
which you have recently passed as President
You see, Sir, they are unhnl and fresh. Again,
tender you, in behalf OF The crowd around you,
and very many others who would have been here,
il they had known Of your coming, most glad
some and hearty welcome"
Mr.. Tyler responded briefly 10 The remarks OF
Mr.. Paucson lie said that it was every way be-
coming, that before adverling 10 The other topics
OF MIR. P.'s address, he should, on behalf of Mrs
Tyler return thanks 10 the Democratic Ladies Of
Augusta, for The beautiful bouquet he had present.
I'd her in their name. lie knew that il would be
highly valued-and for himself, he would be per-
,h,,t la
sweet or beautiful than those which composed il,
other than the fair daughters OF Augusta them
selves.
Abiding 10 the other topics advered 10 by Mr..
p h. avoided all reference 10 the assaults which
had been made upon his motives and purposes in
The administration Of he public affairs. He left
his revi.ers and their assaults 10 the arbitration OF
impartial history Il was enough for him that he
had left the country free and happy; its cons,i,u-
ton inviolaie and its condition improved, and he
trusted sill improving. The government was
strong liz the affections of the people, and the love
of Union was in their honest hears. In
The contamination OF one great measure he
hoped he might be INDUCED in The expression of
an honest pride. For that measure he had sirug
sled by night and b. day. Defeated by maoriiies
in Congress he had appealed to The people, and
the people, Tic great people, had declared that
Texas was, and of right ouah, 10 be- part ofthiS
happy Union. A new and bright star was des-
tined TO shine in our glorious Constellation,
whose bright rays would fall upon the heads Of
our remoicSt poslerity, and call into new life and
vigor the dormant energies OF the country. lie
had no time 10 dwell further on this topic. He
said he "now Teposed under his own vine and fig
tree, with none 10 make him afraid" He had
quoled the expression from Holy Writ-but he
could say that whether in public or private life,
he had always been unconscious OF fear in the
discharge Of his duty. True, he had navigated
tumultuous ocean, and his barque had been as
sailed on all sides BY The violent and raging bill
lows; but he had safely entered The haven OF rest.
the reposc Of which was The more delightful
by the storms he had encountered. lie could
safely leave his principles and conduct TO the vim
dlcatlon OF MIR. Paleson, with whom he believed
he had never politically differed, and whose at
iachment TO the great principles Of the Republic
can parry admitted not of question. His sincere
aspirations were that the government into whose
soever hands il might hereafter fall, should know
no change OF evil import, nor The prosperity of
the country be visited by the slightest blight
He expressed his warmest thanks 10 his fellow
citizens present for the kind welcome they had
given him 10 their town, which sounded in his
ears as music most delightful. He had antici-
pated no such public demonstration Of their kind
feelings towards him, as he was on a journey to
the attractive watering places OF The mountains
Tor recreation and health, and travelled as
private citizen. He repeated his thanks again
10 them, and wished for their Town and county
every possible prosperity.
Al the conclusion Of Mr.. Tylcr's very appro-
pirate and eloquent remarks, 10 which We do not
profess TO have done justice in tie above short
sketch, three loud and long cheers were given for
Tyler and 1tras" which madethe welkin ring.
