SOMETHING RICH!

Most of our readers remember the rather
futile effort Of JOHN B JONES Esq of the
N,iisonian to re-elect one John Tyler to
the Presidency. That paper in its day
afforded far more amusement than Comic
Almanac. The puoic were divided in
opinion as to whether the Editor was sly

might be, Tyler and Jones sunk with their
funny "organ" and their "pure' third
party into obscurity together, and the
broad jokes of the N,disonign about Capt
Tyler were nearly forgotten.
