From the MaiUontan. GOVERNOR TYLER! IN WASHING- The citizens of VVashVneton had the erau ification of seeing among; thero on Friday la&l, their distinguished. Well-tried, and ev er-trusted friend, John Tyler, of Virginia, f,vtce rresident elect of the United States, as he may now be regarded.) lie was on ins way 10 attend the greiat Convention of the People, which will i0 held in Colum bus, Ohio, cn the the 25jh inst. ; having yielded a retnetant assent to the argent so licitatiocsof hisfellow-ckizensof that State. Gov. Tyler has not engaged personally in the great contest wfitc b now agitates the whole U nion. IIe,as jvell as General Hariison,has ex hinted an example which we trust will ever be followed by the candidates for the high est oflices in the gift of the People. The cour?eof these two eminent men, in this respect, cannot fail to cnocihate the appro bation of Ihe candid and truly patriotic of all parties. ; It stands onti ih bright contrast with the conduct of President Van Boren and his butily-emplo) ed electioneering Sec retaries, VVe aie happy jto state, that Gov ernor. Tyler, though still feeble from recent indisposition, is gaining strength daily. He is in excellent spirits; and during the short time we had the pleasure of spending with him, his flashing eye. and the full, expres sive tones of his eloquent voice, as he spoke of the condition of the country and the bright prospects now dawning on the cause of the reopie, made us forget that he had just risen from a bed of ; sickness. From an official account of the proceed ings of the Washington City Tippecanoe viud, in anoiiier cotumn, 11 win oe soon that Mr. Tyler was elected an honorary member; of that spirited and patriotic asso ciation, and a committee was appointed to wait upon shim, and (request.; his, attend ance at the Club, if Governor Tyler cheerfully complied with the invitation and on entering tne Uluo uoom, was re ceived by the members; standing with the most enthusiastic- cheers. I he rresident happily introduced hirh as the valued and undeviating friend of jbje District of Co lumbia. Mr. Tjler's remarks were pecu liarly felicitous, and delivered with that spir iled and harmonious elocution which capti vates the auditor, and gives such power ful effect to all his speeches. He referred, in most bordial'terms, to the association which had; subsisted between himself ' and the citizens of Washington while he was in Congtesi ; and we assure him that his words opened in the bosoms of many thenaround himj a soiree of grate ful feelings deep and enduring, as well as of regrets that his enlightened benevolence did not animate thosewjio have had the powers of legislation, witn regard to this city, in tnerr nanos. many 01 ms uesreis remembered his zealous-ancl untiring devo tion to the interests of the; District when be was Chairman of the Senate's District Com- mittee some jears ogo, ana tney Knew tie expresssd the emotions! of his heart, when he declared that, in weigning me evils brought upon the coantry by the present Administration, it had given him peculiar pain to observe that the hard hand of dej potism had been pressed with particular force ori the citizens ofj the District of Co lumbia, t They 'had been made the victims of measures, which the very authors and supporters dare not attempt to csrry out in their own States, and dn tfteir own constit uents ! He rr ioiced at the rebellious spirit they had manifested against these measures ttow oarea tnej.tec-:.

On taking leave Ir. Waller Lenox addressed biro in a short ppeech, which, though conceived on the spur of the occasion. was peculiarly appropri ate, and so eloquent as to call forth tepesl ed cheers from the assemblage. 1 X it may be as well to notice here anintim- ation which has been whispered about, (it is isaid on the authoritv of Mr. Tazewell.) that Mr. Tyler and General Harrison did riot ajree in politics. Nothing can be more unfounded and arbitrary than this imputa tion. Ihe? served together m the House af Reprcaentatives, at one-of the most im portant eras of our country's history em bracing the sessions of 1817 '18 and 1818 19.

AN ABOLITION MISSIONARY. ! : i ' " : Mr Editor : Believing, as I do, that the whole South should be apprized of ev ery foreign movement among us, on the; subject of Abolition, whether to excite the objects of its fanatical sympathy, or to plant and foster amongst ourselves fanatic al views and unwhosome feelings relative! to slavery. I cheerfully comply with the; request of many of my neighbors, to com municate to you, for publication, the fol-i lowing circumstances : ' 1 I It had been vaguely rumored about the neighborhood, last week, that a man wim professed to be a religious Missionary, wa travelling through the State, preaching pub licly, and enforcing privately, doctrines of an incendiary character ; that he had passed through York and Chester, arid that letters Had been received from residents of those Districts, warning us that he was making for Fairfield, regretmg that he had not been: arrested there, and advising us to repair the error. . j j Accordingly, on Saturday a few of the neighbors were informed that he had aciu-j ally arrived in the neighborhood, and was to preach at the Sterling Meeting House! On the following day. 1 lie next morning a concerted gathering took place at said Meeting House, when it was ascertained that the object nf our eearnh had taken the alarm, departed from the District, and waaf tf preach at Smurney's Meeting House Chester District, about sixteen or twenty miles distant. A large and respectable company ivas immediately formed to go in pursuit of bim, which arrived on the spot just before the conclusion of the sermon f but too late to hear the remarks upon slave! ry which, we were informed, had interlar- ded the whole service. ces provided they choose to labor. u l bus making hirelings of those who cin- qot be discharged from service, and who are therefore without restraint as freemen and compelling tee whites to employ, whether they will or not, those whom they cannot uiscaru as hirelings, nor control as slaves the worst species of servitude. Kenddll confessed that he was aware his doctrines, if preached before slaves, would not comport with our safety: yet he was caught in the act of volunteering to read his letter, and comment upon the ubjeci of las mission, in tbe presence of slaves He acknowledged that his doctrines were con- trary to the genius of our Jaws, and his last condition, in direct opposition to liieir ve ry letter ; yet he justified his conduct up- 1. oly7, 183S.

Upon this authority the man (whose name is Thomas Kendall,) was arrested. and carried back to the vicinity of Sterling Meeting House, and the inhabitants of ah JpTtpnaive neighborhood wete summoned to it irjtelligibly.

As 11 was the opinion of a member of the bar that ihe paper was so artfully drawn up asjperhsps to evade the existing laws, while it left tbe object of Kendall as obviods as though all caution had been disregarded, it was determined, by fair trial before Judge Lynch, to make upon this pioneer of a fi- uatical religion, a practical application, il lustrative of the views and feelings of the Carolinians towards those who, in any gtnse, bv, any authority, or by however artful eva shin, attempt to tamper with their rights and safety, If there is no law to meet such a case a?

Neither does the amount of his income depend upon good crops, good seasons, good farmingcr good prices.: On the contrary; whilst it is not diminished by any or all of these chcu instances, Ah'uth ho vitally affect the income of the farmer, (he President's salary is. in tact always enhanc ed in value, in proportion as the farmer, the me chanic, and the poor laborer suffer.'; I ask yon, therefore, whether it is just and equal fir the President to charge the farmer,, tb mechanic,., ind the poor laborer with the cost of making his sheets, pi llow cases, and servants! aprons with the piti'.ul price paid fot hemming, yes, hem ming his kitchen rubbers, or diai cloths strain ing cloths; or strainer ra$s ? The poor farmer has not only to purchase a churn, milk strain ers, and skimmers for his own family, but he is aiiu) taxed to pay for a churn, milk strainers and skimmers for Hie Presi.Jentof ihe United States, and lor hemming his strainer rags into the bar grain '1 he poor laborer, with his fifty cents a day. has noi only to provide his own coffee pet and pewier spoons, but be Is compelled 10 pur chase a coffee po; for the Presideni, and pay lor liiB spoons used by tbs President's servants. Ay, sir, he is laxed for lhe cost of grinding tin knives which iblffcfrvants ib the Piesideni's kitchen use in eating their victuals- The Pre sident of the , United stales, in my opinion, should have had mote pride of character than to charge the People with. the; price of his plate xcarmers, his loa-fer,' his market baskets, his tart pans, and larding needles la stuff his pod dings and saucissons. Martin - Van Buren most suppose, forsooth, (bat the farmers, mechanics, and laborers of the United Slates are so very st opid, or so very good-naisred, lhat they will w'uboula mnrmnr consent lu b? taxed iwjih the price of his LIQUOlt SniJVD, od 1w SIL VER, and GOLD CILHJSta bans labels a roo.id he necks ot ' foreign barret shape flule decanters, with cme stoppers, to" appriza his sleeky prim court guests lhat be'; haV introduced to ihe palace cellars 'Marcobruner Hock , Bataily f.lareW 1 Towers Port ' Romantt Burgundy, Ravini s Vale Gold Slurry an Red Seal, old, bottled E.
