HERMITAGE, Sept. ilth, lS4l.
sIR,-Your letter Of the 29th ult., with
its enclosure, the resolutions of the Dem
ocratc Republican Mass Convention,
held in the 9th Ward of the city of New
York, on the oath of tho same month,
have been duly received, and are ac-
knowledged with sentiments of profound
gratitude for the honor they confer upon
me.
The state Of my health, which is now
much disordered 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 resolu-
iions. cannot refrain, however, from
saying, that they meet generally with my
concurrence particularly that which
gives praise to Mr.. Tyler for his veto OF
The Bank Bill II he but maintains the
position he has assumed against this
great ieaver Of Federalism, this deadly foe
to the principles Of our Government, th'
designs Of that party, in other respects
will be less difficult to counteract; for th'
ship of state, relieved Of tho corrupt infiu
ence of Bank Of the U. s. at its he I'm
will naturally right itself.
1t is true, great error was comm'tte
in tho repeal Of the Sub-Treasury, bu
this may be remeded where there is Ii
Bank substituted in It's stead. The pec
pie care not so much for forms-they 6
for Substances for practical measures
measures that will ensure economy an
accountability in the Administration
Government, that will make the taxes
light as is consistent with th1 public safe
~; that will secure the application OF tn
public moneys at all times and in all pIi
ces to constitutional objects. These ar
the things which it would be the olic
of bank TO thwart snd they are tn
things which it would be the tendency o
the Sub Treasury to promote, an
hence, believe, that that system q
something like it, cannot be long dispen
sed with.
Doubles. the President believes tha
the Sub-Treasury has been condemne'
bv the people, and so believing, he ough
not to be censured for giving his sane
ton to its repeal. But the independents
he has manifested in tho veto, author
zes us to hope that he will deal fairly an
candidIy with tho whole subject here
after, and that he will conform his polio
to the principles of the Virginia school q
Republicans.
You are pleased 10 refer in terms c
much commendation to the course pursu
ed by me on the subject Of the iorme
bank charter. Iacted at tho time unde
high sense of duty,and derive muc
satisfaction from the many evidences
have received even from many who the
conslred me, of the appreciation OF m
country. But, sir, | considered my labor
. as but the commencement of the wOr
Of reform in regard to the banking sy9
TEN. Much higher praise is due to MI
Van Buren,, against whom the whole fore
ofthe spirit ofmonopoly was brought t
bear. It has driven that disIinguishe
statesman and unprstending patriot int
retirement, but it has rendered him deaI
sr to his country, because Of the nobI
sacrifice he has made to the cause Of {
quail rights. My strength failing me,
cannot follow out these reflections. d
cry effort to write, admonishes me th'
my life is nearly spent. Let mo col
clude, therefore, this hasty and imperfeC
response to your letter, with an assuranC
10 my Republican andDemocratic frent
every where, that am proud of their n
spect, and have an abiding faith in tht
success Of their efforts to secure III
blessings Of freedom and equal rights
themselves and their prosperity.
Very respectfully.
Your fsllow-clizen,
