TIE New York Republic, speaking
Of the late Hon. ROBERT J. WALKER,
says " he was the politician who got
JOHN TYLER to break with the
Wings" In times Of high party ex-
element this may have been charged;
the New American Encyclopedia
makes u similar statement, and we
may have inadvertently published the
same thing. But il is now due to the
memory of JOHN TYLER that the
error should be corrected. ANDREW
JACKSON not excepted, perhaps there
was never a great man in this eoun-
try more master of himself, and less
subject 10 influence, than JoHN TY-
LER. He was nominated with HAIR
EIS0N by the Wings as an available
nan 10 carry Virginia. No President
OF the United States had ever died
during his term Of Office, the office OF
Nice-president was regarded a a COM
parative ~sinecurC, and the risk Of his
carrying out his Gnti-bank views was
not regarded as imminent, or impOr-
tant enough to prevent the nOmina
ton. Ills views were well known,
aud had been more than once
emphatically proclaimed by him
on the floor of the Senate.
II needed no Influence" Of WALKER,
nor that OF any one else, to determine
the course Of Mr.. TYLER. Acting
under oath as senator, he had avOwed
his belief that the Bank was uncOnsti-
tutional. And he could not do less
than veto it. Although then an ed
itor, a. an earnest Wing, we joined in
his condemnation at the time, on the
ground that he ought not to have re-
ceived the nomination Of the Wing
party unless he was able to carry out
its known poIicy, we have always felt
he had 4 right 10 answer "you knew
my views as to the Bank before you
elected me, and that / could not de
part from them, as well as L knew
your own iavOrite bank policy"
The whole truth Of the matter is that
the Wings, in their search for "avail-
able" candidates, and eagerness for
victory, just put their foot in it" on
that occasion. To carry Virginia,
they voluntarily took the risk with
their eyes open. That is the honest
truth, and II IS time it was told.
Either viewed as a man Of great abili-
ties Or as a patriot, JOHN TYLER has
hal lew peers in the American States.
The vindictiveness with which he has
beenVisitcd, ike that Of the charge Of
bargain and intrigue" against Mr..
the result Of that high party
feeling, so peculiar TO this country,
which stickles at nothing where
party ends are concerned, and
no consequences. Great
Injustice has thus been done
Tyler, and it at least should
aot be allowed TO follow him
into his grave. His fair fame cannot
be tarnished by truth, and it is but
that the truth should be owned
up. To suppose that DIR. TYLER was
'inAaeneed7 in vetoing the Bank, ito
him the most important event Of his
life,) and especially by a man o far
his inferior, as was ROBERT ]. WALK
Err, or LITTLE BoBBY, as Mr.. PREM
TIss used TO call him, is to question
both his great talents and his integrity
as a patriot and a man.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
F. A. TYLER, EDITOR.
WEDNESDAY MORNING. /: NOV. u, 1868.

HoN. JEFFERSON DAVIS arrived in
the city last night on the Great Re
public, from Vicksburg, and is a
guest Of our townsman W. R. Hunt,
Esq In accordance with his own
wish, he has no public reception. But
he is not the less welcome to our
homes and hearts. He is tried and
true. If he has stood against the
Union, it was because he loved Liber-
ty more than "'the Union" What
true man does not? When
he fell, liberty, for the
South at least, fell with him.
1t remains to be seen whether that Of
the North also, and of the whole
Union Of States, is to follow it. If to
be true to constitutional liberty is to
be true to the country, then DAVIS is
no traitor. He never stood against
the Union" except as that was
abused, and stood against the true
liberty and rights OF the South. He
never asked more; and, these given,
there was not a more determined
Union man in the land. In this he
was the true impersonatiOn Of the
Southern people. Tried as a patriot,
he has their enthusiastic and devoted
love. Not all the misrepresentation
and abuse he has suffered can mar the
pages OF history. His fame will be
vindicated by the friends who have
shared his misfOTtunes and suffered in
sympathy with him. Such a man
can never fall, and heroic virtue can
not be blaekened by calumny.
When prejudice and virulence have
passed away, and the nation takes its
sober second thought, DAVIS and his
oompeers will be owned and honored
IS among the heroes Of the North
American continent; less fortunate
than its WAsHINGToNs, but not less
truly a friend of liberty and the coun-
try than they.

WE would call the attention Of the
members of the Legislature to a petit
tion which will be sent up from this
county to abolish the NoncOnnah Pike
Company, and which will be found in
another column of the APPEAL. The
story of mOnopOlies of this descrip-
ton is not half told in the petition,
and the abuses complained Of are a
long continued and crying outrage,
which could never have been commit
ted by a Legislature which was not
bound to iavorites and carpetbaggcrs
and imposed on By sharpers, and
which had the good of the people at
all in mind. These monoplizing i'm
posters on the different roads the Rad
zeal Legislature has built up and EN-
powered to prey on the people Of
Shelby county give no equivalent for
the tolls they exact, save the county
no money, and only help US TO the
worst Of bad roads. The matter ought
10 have prompt attention.

paints r made. This same incorpo-
ration, managed by Messrs. BECKER,
WHEELocK & NEVILLE, furnishes to
the trade in this city hydraulic cement,
OF its own preparation, at . per cent.
less than its cost in Louisville. There
are jugs and common earthenware
made, in four or five factories, in the
suburbs, from earth found near Iuka,
where more also abounds. There are
two prosperous bucket and hollow
ware factories and a mighty box fac
tory in Chelsea, all prosperous and
constantly charging their business.
Why may we not have another cot
ton mill ? Capitalists Will furnish city
lots at valuation and take the amount
in stock. Who has money for a Mem
phis cotton mill a.?

A NEW law has been ordained and
promulgated in C0nstantinople max
ing it compulsory to educate every
child. The period OF instruction is
fixed for girls at six to ten, and boys
six TO eleven years. The names of pu-
pills are to be registered, and parents
and guardians fined for not sending
them. The. schools r to be Mussal-
man or Christians, as one or the other
religions may predominate in the sew
eral districts, and the higher schools
to receive Christians and Mussulmans
indiscriminately. This is an impOr-
tant concession for that country, and
the good results are not easily to be
estimated.

We see from the proceedings Of the
bar meeting, held yesterday, that our
townsman, j. A. ANDERSON. Esq,
was recommended for Judge Of the
Law Court. Although a young man
in appearance, and really not very
old, he has had twenty years expert
ence in the practice Of his profession,
is a thorough lawyer, a nan Of fine
abilities, and a gentleman highly es-
teemed as of more than ordinary
worth. A better selection could
hardly have been made from our bar,
and we predict he viii make one OF
the best judges ever furnished from
it. He Is a man Of quick perceptions
and clear head, and is quite as likely
TO make just and satisfactory decisions
as any man we have. His appoint
ment or election TO the Office will meet
the hearty appreciation OF the people
Of Shelby county.

WHILE one so consistent" as To
adhere 20 old notions and %fOllics, and
never learn anything new y change
opinions, resembles the mule more
than the rational man, there is a "cOn-
sistency" which cannot be departed
from without furnishing reasonable
ground for the charge of want Of in
tegrity. 1t Il not admissible TO take
both sides Of a question, and blow hot
and cold with the same breath. When
the Radical leaders tell US that the
State Of New York cannot reeede from
its ratification Of the XVIII Amend
ment, and yet at the same time. that
Ohio can reoede from its rejection of
the same thing, the animus is very
evident, and it is impossible to be-
heve that common integrity lies at
the bottom.

who is the owner. As we said in the
article commented On, in such a case
We are willing to receive aid from any
and all sources, the Central road In
Guided. But that was on the sup
position that the road run direct
to Memphis, and did not
run into the Central at Grenada, or
other point, so low down as to give
an advantage to the Central Road at
our expense, and virtually being used
for Our injury. II the aid o 4he Cen
tral Road depends on that condition,
the ase is a very plain One The Cen
tral will consult its own interest, as a
matter of course. We took it for
granted the road was to come directly
to Memphis, and that the Central
might build it and welcome, since in
that event 1t would have nearly as
much interest in running n road as
the other, and could not afford to
build without also using the road.
fthe Intention Of the Central Road is
to buy out the stock and stop the road
at Grenada, for its own exclusive ben
eft, such a consummatiOn cannot be
too earnestly resisted, either by Mem
phis or the stockholders on the
line OF the Yazoo road, who
would be all alike sufferers by
such q result. That road must come
directly on, at least as far as Bates
vile. And then, with a Union De-
pot at this point, and no necessity for
Il change of cars, travel and freight
viii come this way. And we believe
the increase of business, freight and
travel which will result, will more
than amply repay even the omnibus,
hack and dray interest, besides other
wise contributing largely to advance
the interests and growth of this city.
Build up the city, and every employ
meat and every individual will be
benefited by it. II we cannot force
travel and freight to stop here, we
shall do well to encourage all to come
freely and give them every possible
facility. This is the lesson of expe-
rienee, and the only sound policy
which builds up cities, and benefits
all classes alike.
