| To the Editor Of the Madisonian;
| One of our friends having determined to discon-
Time his subscription in consequence OF your course
handing and since the Veto, has caused me to rehec,
ON the subject and his act has induced TO request
that you will place the enclosed TO my credit and for
ward your paper TO me-
have been careful observer Of the course OF Pre-
sdent TYLER for many years, and at the time he re-
eeiyed the nomination al Harrisburg, went into a
thorough examination Of his political history, and am
free 10 confess that did anticipate his signature
to the Bank bill passed by Congress and IN fact, was
highly pleased with the unlocked for concessions 10
Mr. EwIso's BILL and so wrote to of my Wing
friends in the Senate.
do not know Whist may be the opinions OF The
People in other portions Of the Union, on the ques-
ton Of State assent but since the agitation Of the sub
ject have been more vglant than usual in present.
ing the issue to my friends and am happy in being
able 10 inform you that large majority Of those with
whom have conversed prefer the position of the Pre-
sident This remark will apply to the citizens Of
the tow in which reside, nor to the politicians in
the country but has reference 10 the bone and sinew
Of the land.
The newspapers discover, industrious in their
censure Of the President and Of the most nfu-
entail are attempting TO iI upon him desire to die
tate to Congress and the People Fairness, trust is
Of the elements Of my nature, and being sincere
old fashioned Wing lhave examined this subject with
the view Of arriving al correct conclusion.
President Tyler, think. is occupying the precise
ground which Gen. HARRISON would have occupied,
had his valuable life been spared and my honest i'm
preston favors the idea that no prominent Wing
would have proposed SO vital amendment to bill
emanating from him. He was too strongly seated in
the affections of the Peope-they entertained too
high regard for his long known conscientious scru-
pes-and TO speak truly, believe vast number Of
the people had made up their minds TO yield portion
Of the powers claimed by the friends Of the old Bank
This being the case, strongly incline to the impress
sion that injustice is being done to the President Of
our choice and that our friends should be careful lest
in moment of excitement, they express such views
may bring them in conflict with what may be the
public judgment in the ultimate decision of the ques
ton at issue.
To speak more directly, ! win say | consider Mr.
Tyler remarkably honest and consistent man. /
will venture the expression that but few expected him
TO yield more than appeared in the bill from the Trea
sury and, it might be retored that instead of his
inanifesting disposition to dictate to Congress- that
body actually run tilt at him, hoping by the aid of
manufactured public opinion to swerve him from a
purpose sanctioned by the history of his whole life
In this effort they failed, and if division and strife
is to grow out of the Veto friends must recollect
that the country is full Of those who will not permit
them to arragn the President on the old question Of
Bank or no Bank, but will confine them to the
question of State assent to the power Of local dis
count This is the only question raised by the Veto,
and il the Wings in Congress fail to arrive at just
conclusion the President need not fear the verdict of
the People
have been undertaking one term Whigp but
this idea seggests painful extension of my views
Many are already charging the President with desire
to have verdict in his favor as Precedent without
rejecting that their course may force such an
issue on his friends The strong Wings must re-
member that the friends of Mr.. Tyler are only men,
subject to all the impressions which attack and de-
fence produce in the human mind and if succession
Of charges made intended to destroy him in the
public mind, what remedy will be left them but to
press forward, and without consulting the President,
demand verdict from the soverelgns.
Your friend, Fl.
