HERMITAGE, September Ilth, ISL
SIR-N our letter OF the 2Sth ult, with It's enclo-
sure, the resolut Ons Of the Democratic Republican
Mass Convention held in the 9th Ward Of the city
Of New York on the 2ith of the same month, have
been duly received, and are acknowledged with
sentiments of profound gratitude for the honor they
confer upon
The state of my health, which is now much dis
ordered by an attack OF fever, does not allow me to
express at length The reflections excited IN my mind
by the patriotic views embodied IN the resolutions
| cannot refrain however, from saying, that they
meet generally with my concurrence-and particu-
larry tHat which gives praise to Mr. Tyler for h
veto OH the Bank Bill. If he but maintains the DO
sltOn he has assumed against the great lever OF
federalism, this deadly foe to the principles of our
government, the designs of that party, in other
respects, Viii be less difficult to counterfeit for the
snip OF State, relieved of the corrupt influence of
Bank Of the United States At It's helm, Will naturally
right Itself.
1t Is true, that great error committed in the
repeal OF the Sub Treasury, but this may be RENE
died while there IL Bank substituted in It's stead
The people are not much for forms-they 20 for
suostances-iOr practical ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS thai
viii ensure economy and accountability in the ad.
mlnstratUn OF government that Will make the
taxes a. light as IL consistent with the public safety
that vi secure the application Of the public mo
neys at all times aud all places to constitution
OH cts. These are the things which it would be
the ONCE OF Bank to thWaTt; and they the
things which 1t would lie the tendency of the Sub
Treasury to promote; and hence, l believe. that
that system, or something like it, cannot be lone
dispensed with.
Doubtless the President believes that the Sub
Treasury has been condemned by the people, ant
30 believing, he ought not to be censured for CIV
ing his sane ION to its repeal But the independ
ence he has manifested IN the authorizes us K
hope that he viii deal fairly and caniidy with TIA,
whole subject hereafter, and that he VIII conform
ms policy TO the principles Of the Virginia school
Republicans.
You are pleased TO refer IN terms of much com
mendation TO the course pursued by me on the SUB
lcct of the former Bank Charter. aciet at tn,
time under high sense of duty. and derived mucl
satisfaction from the many evidences | have re
ceved. even from those who then censured me, Of
the appreciation OF my country. But, sir, consid
cred NY labJrs but tue commencement of tn,
work o. reform regard to the banking system
Much higher p,ase Is due to Mr. an Buren, gains
whom the whole force OF the spirit OF monopoly was
brought u GEAR IL has driven that d distinguished
statesman ana unpreiendng patriot into retirement
out II has rendeie hlm dearer than ever 10 hs conn
try because OF the noble sacrifice ne has made t,
the cause OF cqua right.
Nv strength failing me, cannot follow out thes,
ref ciions Every effort 10 write admonishes m,
that my LIE l. nearly spent. Let cOnclud,
therefore, his nasty and imperfect response to you
letter. IN assurance To my Republican an,
Democratic friends every where that | am prou,
Of their respect and have abiding alth in thu sue
cess Of their ellris the blessings of free
dom and equal rights to themselves and their pos
tcrty. Very respectfully,
