It was during this period of retirement that he accepted the lowly office of road overseer. Although a Virginian and a slaveholder, Tyler was opposed to the institution of slavery and became president of the African Colonization society, formed with the view of recolonizing the slaves in Africa. Early in his career he looked forward to the time when slavery would disappear from the South as it already had from some of the Northern states but being a strict constructionist he wanted to bring that about by Constitutional means. As the clouds of the threatened civil war lowered, the ex-President used his influence to help avert it. His last great effort to preserve the Union was as president of the Washington Peace Convention of 1860, abana in a last-minute effort to seek some compromise between the North and the South. He looked upon the convention as an attempt to preserve the Constitution and the laws of the nation, which he considered the North had sought to ignore, not change. When his native state seceded Tyler, like Robert E. ‘Lee, be. lieved that his first duty was to Virginia and he renounced his loyalty to the United States.

It occurred during rehearsal of the program on which John Barrymore was guest star. A photographer hovered about, anxious to get some shots of the actor, but fearful that he might object, as he was considerably annoyed with cameramen in general at that time. Finally the photographer got up enough courage to approach the Great Lover. ‘‘Would you mind posing for pictures, Mr. Barrymore?'"' he asked. ‘‘Mind?'' cried Barrymore. Then, leaning over, he a?

Tazewell of Virginia, called by Thomas Jefferson ‘‘one of the most brilliant minds I have ever known''; and Robert J. Walker of Mississippi, later President Polk's secretary of the treasury and author of the tariff of 1846, who became Tyler's spokesman in the senate. As soon as Henry Clay and the other Whig leaders began trying to dictate to Tyler, they discovered that the man in the White House had a mind of his own. They first pushed through a bill to establish a United States bank. Tyler vetoed it, and their effort to pass it over his veto failed. When the Whig leaders reproached Tyler for his action, he reminded them that he had subscribed to no platform and that they should have known his opinions before they nominated him. Somewhat crestfallen, they asked him for an outline of a bank bill he would sign. The result was Tucker's Exchequer Bank plan, which they changed and pushed through both houses. Thereupon Tyler vetoed it and again an attempt to pass it over his disapproval failed. Then congress passed a protective tariff bill which Tyler vetoed. A program for internal improvements to be financed by the federal government met with the same fate, because Tyler believed that the states should make their own internal improvements. Swiftly the breach between the President and his party widened. The cabinet, with one exception, resigned. Daniel Webster remained long enough to complete negotiations for the Webster-Ashburton treaty. Then he resigned. The party was beginning its ‘"purge"' of its President. Next the Whig newspapers went into action and filled their columns with denunciations of the President. There were even threats of assassination. But Tyler stood firm in his determination to be ‘Roe oweh Prof. iaae mae any equip your car with a set of these famous Standard Tires. ee adopted at Led not & had platform and in the campaign there was no discussion of issues between the two parties.

Tyler replied that he had never pledged anything to the Whigs. Despite this denial, the Whig congressmen issued a series of ‘"‘Addresses to the People'' in which they charged that the President had gone into office fully committed to a program which he now repudiated, thus ‘"‘selling out the party.'' They listed the reforms which they desired and which they declared, the President was ‘‘impeding."' Finally, when Tyler filled his cabinet with Southern Democrats, headed by John C. Calhoun as secretary of state, it was the last straw. The Whigs issued a proclamation that ‘fall political connection between them and John Tyler was at an end from that day henceforth."' The party had completely purged its President. The remainder of Tyler's term of office was marked by the dispute over the slavery question and the annexation of Texas, favored by the Democrats and opposed by the Whigs. Having been ‘‘read out of the party,'' Tyler now had nothing to lose and supported the move for annexation, but without success at first. As the 1844 campaign approached, this question became the principal issue. James K. Polk, the Democratic nominee, indorsed annexation. Tyler had tried to build up a party of his own and seek re-election. Although he was nominated by a small faction, he was persuaded to withdraw from the race and Polk won. Just before leaving office Tyler had the satisfaction of seeing his plan for the annexation of Texas accepted by the Lone Star republic and the next year it came into the Union. ‘Robin Hood of Virginia.'

The death of William Henry Harrison made Tyler President of the United States in 1841 and a little more than a year after he moved into the White House, it was draped in black in mourning for his wife, Letitia Christian Tyler, who died September 10, 1842. And finally his own death prevented his holding the last office to which he was ever elected-membership in the congress of the Confederate States of America. Tyler was born at Greenway in Charles City county, Virginia, March 29, 1790, the son of John Tyler who had served as governor of the Old Dominion from 1808 to 1811. Fourteen years later another John Tyler (the junior) was chief executive of Virginia but after serving one term was elected to the United States senate. When the doctrine of nullification was proposed by the South Carolinians, Tyler broke with his party and resigned from the senate. By 1835 there was a serious schism in the Democratic party. Not only had the ‘‘nullifiers,'' under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, broken away, but a much larger party, which was formed in the South under the name of State-Rights Whigs, were opposed to the policies of Jackson and the administration ‘‘regulars."'
