H. Crawford. Elected to the Legislature of his State in 1811, when but twenty-one years of age, he had served repeatedly in that body, and in Congress, before he was, in 1825, elected to the Governorship of Virginia by her Legislature. In March, 1827, he was chosen to the United States Senate by the combined votes of the National Republican, or Adams and Clay members, with those of a portion of the Jacksonians, who were dissatisfied with the erratic conduct and bitter personalities of John Randolph of Roanoke, Mr. Tyler's competitor and predecessor. Mr. Tyler had (in 1825) written to Mr. Clay, commending his preference of Mr Adams to Gen.

That Congress proved, practically, a failure, whether through European intrigue, or Spanish-American jealousy and indolence, is not apparent. Our envoys John Sergeant, of Pennsylvania, and Richard C. Anderson, of Kentucky. were duly appointed; but the strenuous opposition in our Senate In the course of the debate, Mr. John Randolph, of Virginia, said: Cuba possesses an immense negro population. In case those States [Mexico and Colombia] should invade Cuba at all, it is unquestionable that this invasion will be made with this principle,--the genius of universal emancipation,--this sweeping anathema against the white population in front,--and then, Sir, what is the situation of the Southern States? Mr. John M. Berrien, of Georgia, said: The question to be determined is this: with a due regard to the s
