This letter <d Mr*. Tyler's was elteifed hy %n
apjs'il wiiieh was made to tin; fair autiiorcda
tin.' igh a coimnunication in the Kicliinoml Enqui
rer, the writ r of which thinking n suitable res-

of those ' - whom tie-ir ap;K!tl was addressed, sug-
gesttsl Mrs. T. aa th^ proper person as follows:
*• I will venture to suggest that there resides
g.uiiienv n. in yi -.i neighborlmod,a lady txirn and
North, and fully possessed of tlie
regard to slavery, who
that region
has traveled extensively in Europe and observed
the condition of the lower classes in free countries,
(God s.»ve the niark 1) and yet lives at the pres
ent nn..*, and lias done so for years, in a slave
li.’Mii'g community, su owner of slaves, to whose -
happ.iK-ss she thereby contributes far more ~
cieiitl) iIihii the whole h.-st of abolitionists. 'J
lady might aud would he heard with interest by all
uariica to this controvery.’*
And truly she bus responded with ability and
eloquence. Tho letter, the Alexandria Gazette
says, does great credit to the Intelligence and
heart'f Mrs. Tyler, and, says t‘i; lie tun on J En
quirer, “ we ro«pcct her still more for tho faithful
execution of duty because, in behalf of her inst
ed and injured country, and in the vindication
truth, she has had the moral courage to attach her
own name to her adm.rablo production.”
The letter of Mrs. Tyler is attracting much ft*
tentioii, and will d >ubtless have as extensive a pe
rusal as Uncle Ton’s Cabin. The style of the ^
letter is, however, by some thought to be rather
masculine forth-* train oftlioiiglitsa lady.
