-Tyler is a political secretarian
of the slave-driving, Virginia, Jeffersonian School, principled against
all improvement, with all the interests and passions and vices of slavery
rooted in his moral and political constitution - with talents not above
mediocrity, and a spirit incapable of expansion to the dimension of the
station upon which he has been cast by the hand of Providence.
