THIS conversation took place in the presence of The
writer, WHO was member If the House If Dcleraes
and who voted Tor John Randolph. The misintelIi
sehce nh"'r winch others lahorcd immediately after
the election and which seems now 10 posses The mind
of Mr.. Bolts has originated from nm in,crur,,n Lo
ledge OF President Tycrs remark or from The wan, f
apprehension of the point which it was d.

and Governor Tyler were invited The opons,,,op l.,
Mr. Rando phi of the most vioen and detcrm;rod
character and embraced almost all the me nbcrs of The
West and larg" number in the East. Their numbers
we re too formidable for them not to know and feel
their power. Opposition to Mr. r. was therefore in.
evitable no! only from TIER numbers and temper but
also from the influence Of widely disseminated DIS.

II was however, within The writer's perso:al know

10 put Gov. Tyler in nomination against his wilt and
he cncrans doubt Whatever Of the accuracy OF his
recollection of the foregoing and other incidents con-

!, will be Difficult, f,r the public 10 condemn the Pre-
sidcnt mn accusations from Mr. Bolts who, but eigl
teen months ago, had voted many times for Mr. Tyler
rs candidate for the Senate Of the u. S-whn had
voted for Mr. Tyler only last fail, TO be Vice President
of tn L. s., and doubtless III his !1rangues had exto
led him for his virtues and eminent qualifications for
that Office; and, The writer doubts not has visited the
President since his elevation TO the Chief Magisiracy
terms, and probably, with Of friendship,
up 10 the moment at which he learned, that that dis
tngushed patriot would put his veto upon the r. eFa
hear; s-easr, the Fiscal Bank bill Let the reader bear
in mind, that Mr. Bolts admits distinctly, that lie knew
l-11 Of the charge he prefers against the Pre-
sidcni Wbai, then, Is the testimony which ar. Bolts
has himself borne for the space ." "nrtecn ysars against
