Mr. President Tyler is consistently working out his enterprise, and

achieving for himself in history, not immortality, not a deathless but a lifeless fame, a kind of everlasting death. He retains to the last his vicious intent ; but expires, politically, without the power to act up to it. He has accepted as his own the bullying of Mexico with which Mr. Shannon disgraced the office of Ambassador; he reiterates, too late, the entreaty that 'Congress should at once proceed to the annexation of Texas ; he countenances measures to take, pendente lite, the Oregon territory 'which America disputes with England. And all this while he bears himself with a kind of swagger, more suited to those of- fenders who write threatening letters to extort money than to the head of a great nation. The United States will be well quit in getting rid of John Tyler; who is not only discreditable in his acts but in his manner of doing them.
