"The following paragraph in Mr. Bots speech Of
September 10, recently Published, so far as It I'M
derIakes to aver tact IN its latter clause, we fee
| authorized TO contradict peremptoriy:
"Mr. B admitted, in its broidest sense that from
MIR Tylcr's hTst entrance public life 10 the date
| OF his appointment TO the Harrisburg Convention
every sentiment OF his mind had been hostile to a
bank bot when he went there had not the public
reason 10 believe that his sentiments had undergone
/ q changed Certainly they had. Bat further than
thai MIR d. said he knew such 10 be the fact He
had travelled with him on board steamboat and
had heard Inn more than twenty times declare that
his opinion had changed to this extent-ihaI Ma
tonll Bank was necessary TO the welfare and pros
perI;y OF the county, anu that could not get on
| without IT,"
! The article above is taken from the Madisonian
Of Saturday, the l6.h, and it is perfectly manifest
that the only authority that could have existed for
the contradiction, that OF the President himself;
| for the Editor OF the Madisonlan would be PLAYING
| the part of a madmln and fool to undertake. on
his own responsibility, to contradict what in the
nature Of things, he could know nothing about-nor
is /; possible that any body else could be better in
| formed to what had passed between MIR. TYLER
and MIR Bolts, during SIX weeks journey through
| the Western country, than the Editor of the MadI.
sonian. MIR. Tyler alone could have authorized
| the contradiction.
! Then the matter stands thus Mr.. Bots asserts
the floor OF Congress, that in the summer Of 1889
he had travelled through the Western country in
company with Mr.. Tyler, and was with him for
some weeks, during which time he heard him re.
peatcdIy say, perhaps twenty times, that he was
satisfied Bank Of the United States was me-
cessary and indispensable; that the country could
not get along without one; and that we should be
compelled to resort to it.
Mr.. Bolts proceeds to show by circumstances,
and by facts irresistible, that MIR. Tyler was a Bank
man at the Harrisburg Convention, when he sup.
| ported Mr. Cay, and indeed as he showed himself
10 be ~ hIs message To Congross, and his subse-
quent intercourse with the members and his Cabi
net-and 10 all this Mr.. Tyler opposes his simple
contradiction.
| Now, there is no reason why MIR Bolts should at
any time have shTunk from any contest with Mr.
Tyler, upon any matter upon which the veracty
OF the other called into question, even IN
the pimest days OF Mr. Tyler, before his honor had
been Impeached his integrity assaIed and his vera.
city questioned and b.iors his duplIcly and eaui-
vocation had been exp ,scd. But surely there IS
the less reason for Il now, when three Of his
Sttu.IOnal advisers have torn themselves from his
presence, and have been found IN self defence give
testimony against him, and expose to the world his
shame ess disregard Of truth, cdndor, honesty and
fair dealing.
Let him clear his skirts before he assails the
veTaCity Of another.
| But there are hundreds Of Mr. BIS constituents
/ VINO ncdTu MIN repent inc same conversations be-
fore, and about the time Of the Presidential election
b IN 1910, when he thought he was doing MIR Tyler
good service, by announcing his change Of opinion
on that subect-and when the election Of u. s.
lSenator pending last winner before tho Legs
lalure Of Virginia. and It was apprehended that the
success o. m Anti Bank candidate would produce
a tie in the Senate, MIR Bolts then gave assurances
10 many Of his friends, BOUNDED upon those very
circumstance, which Ito again repeatedly that Mi
Tyler, as Vice President, would give the casting
vote IN favor OF a Bink-and I feel authorised 10
say that, as late as the % Of March last on the
night that MIR Tyler reached Washington, while
lying m bed together, Mr. Bolts congratulated Mr.
Tyler on the opportunity that would probably DO
presented ~ him Of acquiring the gratitude OF the
country, and an impsrshabe fame for himself by
having the decision Of that great question thrown
upon him IN consequence Of tho anticipated division
OF the Senate after the election Of Mr. Archer-tbat
he was thea reminded OF these conversations, and
told by Mr. b. that he had satisfied hs friends in
Richmond, by the assurances he had given them
and TO this Mr. Tyler did not object
fee further authorised TO say, th,t on tho next
day, ~ the presence Of some eighteen or twenty
gentlemen, who had waited on the Vice President
that was 10 be- the Bank the subject Of CONVEX.
sauon, when Nc Bots again repeated what he had
olton heard Mr. +. say on that subject, and said
those gentlemen, that he tMr b. should rest salts
ned, as they ought to be, Il 1t could DO brought to
uc-and 10 this Nh Tyler replied, "cOne don't you
commit me too Ear in that respect" ~ can't,r said
Mr. H., Commit you any farther than you have al
ready committed yoursclf | have only repeated
> what you have often told me-" "Well" Sold Mr.
Tyler, ~ tell you now, and all those gentlemen that
should have to decide this question, will toko
TAR, iul, and comprehensive view Of Il, as NJ.
u"na question, and national representative al.
G together unlnHuenced by any opinion | have ever
he'eioiUfe expressed upon the subject" And with
q ms oli we're content and the subject dropped
But NIB. car have no objection that the matter
should rest between Mr. Tyler and himself, and
cave Il to the country to determine which statement
- most TO be relied on. Is.
