"Cli,•Tyler was elected Governor of Virgi tit: If we linistake not,- in 18 . 24. In 1827-8, he wee elec ted to the United States Senate over and in place of the celebrated John Randolph. by a• vote rn the Legislature of 115 to 11,10. The .canvass was one of the most excited that Virginia had known. In politic* both' candidates were anepofted as State ' Rights RepUblicana of the Jeffersonian school, so that.the issue turned eitclusivety 'on personal con nderstrons. I • , In the Sehate, Gov. Tyler.gave for Ave years a ;decided though, independent support to Gen.l Jack ion's Administration. He voted against the rectum tee of the late United 'States . Ranh, and sustained the Veto ufGen •JaelasOn upon that imilitutioM But when the President removed the Depailip Rein that into sundry! Suite' Banks, Mr. Tyler. in common with many, others of his school of politics, condemn. ' ed' the act end arrayed himself in • opposition U 1 its author. Thus he continued. and remained In the Senate untilllB3s, when he wait instructed by a vote of the Virginia Legislature to support and vote for this Expunging Resolution moved by Col. Benton. This mandate he dcclaied that be could net con scientiously obey, and; recognizing. the validity end force of legislative instructions, he resigned his seat ' in the Senate. and retired to private life. 11338 he, .was electedl without opposition tir the House' Delegates, and was supported,tor U. S. Ben- Mee by the whigs on several ballots : but they had not a majority to the Legislature. and no !choice was effected. Mr. Tyler declined to vote for Mr. Rives. entirely, we believe, on account of Mr. R.'s participation in the Evpunging process. 41e. T. &Mined a re-election as Delegate. ' I ,In December, 1839. Mr. Tyler was a Delegate from the Whigs of Viiginia to the 'Harrisburg Na. Ilene Convention, and chosen a Vice President of . ;that body..' He was an ardent and efficient advo cate of the nomination ot Mr. Clay for President. When : a majority of the Convention ultimately de. , , eided to take up Gen. Harrison. much dissatisfac tion was evinced by a portion of the friends Of Mr. Clay, who believed that no other man could unite the Whig party and call out its strength,l . The Southern delegates were especially tearful that their constituents would not heartily respond to the choice of the Convention. In this ethos' juncture. the friends of Gen. Harrison pressed Mr. Tyler to an cept the nomination for Vice President. notwith standing the delicacy of his position, as a means of ensuring accord and harmony. Mr-Tyleron hear ing that his aequtesence was generally deemed es sential. declined himself the servant of the Whig 'Cause : whereupon an the first ballot the unanimous : vote in Committee of every State was cast in, his fa. vor, Virginia alone withholding her vote from res pect to her honored - Sion. The nomination was im mediatelycommunicated to the Convention, and ratified with an enthusiasm which in many instan ces found vent in tears- From that moment, all fars of disaffection or divison in the Whig ranks were cast to the winds." • in person, Mr. Tyler is a plain, unpretending, af fable citizen. He is tall, alias, and although upwards of fifty yeaie of age, his dark hair shows no symp-, terns of the frost of age. Physically and Mentally speaking, it may be truly said that he is in the prime of life, At en early period of his life, he married a lailY of the - Old Dominion ; but, we believe, she died: some years since leaving a family of two sons. One 'Of the sons married a daughter of Mr. Conlier, the celebrated tragedian. She is said to be highly ac- Complished and p possess more than an ordinary share of personal attractions.

In that letter, on the subject of the Tariff, 'Mr. .Tyler said; uThat Congress has a right to impose duties on merchandise imported, none can deny. The rate of duties, you are well aware, is called a tariff of duties. l' „ The power to day duties' is given by the Constitn lion in express terms. The right to select the aid- Iles of import on whichtolevy the duties, is unques tionable: Every duty imposed, operates, pro frinfo, ass bounty on the production of the same article at home, end it has been considered a wise policy on the part of ALL Administrations so to impase the duties as to advance the production of Such articles as were of national importance. I certainly do not doubt the policy or expediency of such • course.- 1 The duties, however, should be laid with ntference to . revenue, except where they are laid to counteract the policy of a foreign government, and with a view to the regulation of trade. I have no hesitation in say-, lag that I regard the compromise law is obligatory on the country. and that I am resolved so far. es de pends on myself, to carry out its provisions to good faitln" • On the soldect of a National Bank we understand Mr. Tetra to occupy a position similar to that which was held by Gen. Bann:son and by Mr. Manteds. We quote again from the letter referred to above: •In reply to the first branch of your enquiry, I quote anradopt the language of General Harris:id in his speech delivered at Dayton There is not, in the Constitution any express grant of power for such purpose, and it could nenei be constitutional to exercise that power, save in the event the powers granted to Congress could not be carried into effect withopt resorting to such an institution." The ter branch of your enquiry is fully answered by my ahswer to the first part. The constitution confers on Congress, in express terms, • all powers which are necessary and proper" to carry into effect the granted powers. Now, if • the power, granted," could not be carried into effect withotit incorporating a Bank, then it becomes " necessary and proper, " and of course expedient—e conclusion which I pre sume no one would deny who desired to see the ex istence of the Government preserved, and kepi bene- ficially in operation." CAST IRON Rants.—Our readers,are aware that last year an esperiment was madeef laying Cut Anthracite Iron Rails in our immediate neighbor hood. Some persons were apprehensive that , the Railroad would be injured by frost. The winter may be said to be fairly over, and yet, we are pleas ed to say, the rail road in question has not suffered the least injury. While on this subject we wonbi state that Messrs. Marshall & Co., the proprie' ors of the Furnace in this borough. are prepared to furnish Cast Anthrax cite Iron Rails, which combine the advantages of be fall light end durable. Although the weight of the Rails is only 34 1ba...t0 the yard, two ton cars can be nerd on a road constructed with these rails. We learn that the Schuylkill Valley Railroad Company, have ordered a number of tons of these Raile—ttie, cost per ton we believe is from $4O to $45. But a short time will elapse before the Cast Iren rails will become in general use in this regio'n' by . our Colliers far their drift and lateral roads. The _first coat of laying a road constructed of this materi al is but a trifle more than one made ,of wood and faced with wrought iron, The wooden road requires to ho repaired or renewed every thtie years ; where. as the cast iron road is expectedto last a great num ber of years. ANOTHEIt h BANE. BELL,—In the Senate, on MM. day last, Mr. Bpackman reported a Bank Bill which we think will meet with general approval.

A vast multitude attended. Uniform com panies from the cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia united with those - of the District, and these, added to several bodies of United States Troops drawn in from neighboring posts. made a very imposing mili- tary display. Several bands of music led different sections of the military array, and, with melancholy strains, blended the sympathies of the people. The whole procession, including a large concourse of .riti rens from the. neighboring States, filled the Pennsyl vauia Avenue to a very great extent. Tho houses immediately on the Avenue were for the moat,part hung with black drapery, and the windows were ,crowded with fair laces. The day was soft and beautiful, enabling the immense throng (a great casty of whom were on foot) to attend the remains they honored to the place of sepulture, some two or three miles from the President's Mansion. There, the last rites being paid, and the body deposited in the tomb, the scene was closed by the firing of can non and volleys of small arms. Throughout the day minute guns were fired. and during the proces sion the bells of the city tolled." Gear.
