abused and Stayed, and yet that gentleman anu ON
kept it secret Had the hundreds and thousands
OF Jackson men, who came and supported this man,
come TO play the traitors
What else had they had That Rumor says that
Mr. Tyler is making efforts 10 conciliae and get the
Jackson party to his support. He knew this was
coming to-day he could tell from the National intel-
gencer daily what would come up; and be referred 10

gentleman for proof.
Mr. Bolts If the gentleman will give me the
remainder Of his hour, will prove it to him.
Mr.. PROFIT. He'knew that rumor, filthy ru-
NOR had scattered this declaration abroad. Ii he had
trumpet tongue he would send il to the end of the
country and call for proof" He called on the re-
spectacle members of this body, who were called Loco
focos, to come forward and say if John Tyler had
ever made overtures to them for reelection. If SO, he
wished to be disabused of his delusion. There was
no proof The tongue was parched in the mouth, and
refused to furnish the proof The gentleman tells me
order would allow him, The gentleman tells me he
gives me warning. He (Mr P.) had still small
voice that told him how far to go and he would not
that line but he called for proof He had cali
ed gentlemen of the Opposition party if they knew
any thing about this matter to reveal it. He would

The speech Of the honorable gentleman was all a
personal assault on the President; but he (Mr. P.)
called for proof Of all these things that had been
charged against the President. The gentleman had
said proof that the President went to the Harris
burg Conv ention and voted for the distinguished c
zen from Kentucky But what did they meet at
Harrisburg forl He told them, in speech the other
day, which, although he had been denounced by poll
ticians for, he glad to the people approved
Mr.. Tyler voted for the distinguished citizen from
Kentucky-and why2 Because he believed him the
strongest man to put out Mr.. Van Buren,. But there
was quite difference between voting for Presden-
al candidate and deciding on constitutional ques-

clared himself in favor of National Bank. MIR.
Tyler, in his message, had pointed to his speeches
and to his votes in the Senate and they were far from
supporting the idea of Bank. s....
i We were told that the President of the u. States
had ceased making appointments and changes In of
fice and that to conciliate jackson men, If he had
the list of appointments he could prove that nine out
of ten Were against the President of the United

in the Land Office and brought this aoor the case

1t was said by the gentlemen that John Tyler was
seeking reelection. He Mr.. P. would name nc
candidate for the next three years All this lamena-
BILE difficulty into which they had been thrown arose
from converting this Hall into great electioneerng
political He would henceforward march the
path which he believed led to the interests the
try, He would name candidate three years in adj
vance; and he would not wonder if the people the
United States disguised with athese caucussng and
detestable proceedings, should go out and pick up
some candidate, who had not been infected with this
partisan disgrace. II was very singular that the gen.
tleman had voted for the BILL which he said framed
to meet the opinions of the President and yet that
he had predicted it would be vetoed The bill for the
repeal Of the sub Treasury had been passed against
the expostulations of himself (Mr P) and many
others; who said they knew not of the fate of the
Bank bill and now, after, by various maneuvres,
it had been passed through, they charged the Pres
dent with desire to unite the purse and sword in his

the greatest disrespect that could be offered to the
President and yet the gentleman had said he meant

the Veto Message he (Mr p was prepared to meet
him on it. The first Veto Message was spoken of as
