early as his eighteenth year; he com
menced practice soon aft, +, but soon
retired to farm. and has since lived
the life of southern gentleman al

,ifying himself with the Wing party

Though long tried personal friend
of President John Tyler. Mr.. Bolts
declined TO support HIM in his seces
sion from the Wing party On the
death Of Mr. Clay, and the dissolution
Of the Wing party, he joined the
American party. He opposed the
