Greeleye “New Yorker."
"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-

that a permanent system be introduced in place of
'a fleeting and ever varying . system,l which promised
lane thing to day. and produced another to morrow''-1
Mr. Tyler, about the same time, as mentioned
['hove, addressed a letter to a number of influential
gentlemen in Charleston, belonging to the Van Bet- •
ten party; in reply- to several questions Which they
proposed to him on the great political questions of
the day. 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. The first
section authoring the suspension of specie paymeits
for the period or five years, and removes the present
penalties imposed upon the Banks. The links to
be permitted-to issue small bills, and to discount

PAZSIDN,ST HARRISON'S PUNSUAL:WO copy
the following brief particulars of the funeral of the
lamented Harrison from the Washington Globe of
last week—!'The funeral of President Harrison was
conducted With great propriety—with pomp and col-
enmity. 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."

his owe lip :-
1. A few , weeks ago, we saw a very long letter
from General Jacktion to a gentleman, who had
drawn on him foi one hundred doll irs. He ac
knowledged that the money was due ; 'but stated that .
he was so Miserably embarrassed by his :moray
debts as Wile utterly unable to raise even the small
sum necessary _ta:ineet the draft. He said he had
some / bfooded stock which he was willing to give up
to the drawer of the draft, but that $lOO in money
was out of the question."'
A TEMPEST IN A TEaro.r.—The"seventeen in

" Let the Legislature meet, PUT THE STATE ON , .

Potective Tariff is enacted by Congress. to summon
forthwith a Convention of the People of South Car

no hesitation—no delay. Every thins depends on
this bold, Uncompromising decision."

Illosineso Convention,
The period has arrived when by reaion of the re

which stall/prevent their recurrence, aril establish
the great aid leading interests of the country upon
such a basis, that they may fully deselope themselves

than anyother 'State in. the Union, has an enormous
stake dependent on the adjustment of that policy.—
Her vast sgrieultmal, manufacturing and other re
soirees. have already been "measurably developed,
but of late years Certainly not in the ratio that Might
