y OF both houses not only willing, but de-
TO give his administration cor
dial and Jealous support. In this state of
things, the president, for the purpose of
securing his reelection, detached himself
from his own party, and threw himself
into the arms of the opposition. In speak
ing of the veto that had just been received,
he MI. b. said he should say nothing
against It, From It's tenor. he judged it
had been written by somebody connected
with the New York Herald but if a boy
Of his had written so much tom foolery,
he would have taken him from school and
put him TO the plough. lie would, howe
yer keep cool, and he should be better
able to prove the perfdy of the president.
He admitted that at the last election there
were Il variety of issues. and not the bank
alone but the bank was principal one,
and at the Harrisburg convention the pre-
sent president Imported Mr.. Clay, a bank
man. lie also asserted that the president
admitted, several years ago, in a steam
boat conversation, that a bank was ncccs-
sarV for the business of the country.
Mr. Wisc--Did he say ii was consttu-
tonal!
Mr. Bolts had told the gentleman what
he said. He next conlendcd that the pre-
sidcn, had adopted the Dayton speech of
Gen. Harrison, and that was a bank speech
and in 4 speech at Wheeling he took
out an empty purse, and ridiculed me-
tallic currency and the sub-ueasury, and
promised to 90 for bank. Gentlemen
might roll up the white OF their eyes at
the charge of treachery and peridy, but
this was not the first time the charge had
been made and sustained against him in
his own state. Once in the case of John
Randolph, to whom Mr.. Tyler was pledg-
ed, but after dcprecating opposition 10 j.
Randolph, he lent himself to the opposi
ton. Mr.. b, also pointed out the reten-
ton Of Iocoioco clerks in the land Office as
a proof Of the presidents predictions for
that party.
Mr.. GiImer then took the floor and re-
piled to Mr.. Bots. He began by express
ing the hope that such scenes as had oc-
Cured in the hall this morning never
would be witnessed again. What had
they seen and what did they hear! The
president of the L. S. was charged. by
member oflhat house, coming from state
which gave birth to bolh-with pcriidy.
Perfdy to whom, and to what! TO his
God, to the constitution, or to any private
trust or confidence! No, sir; to none of
these. Was ii perlidy to his party! He
could refer the gentleman to abundant evil
dence to prove the contrary, and he ask
ed him to point his finger to a single OPT
mon which the president eniertains now
that he and every one of the wing party
on this floor did not know that John ~
Ter entertained in the Harrisburg conven-
ton. Where is it, sir Was i'll steam
boat conversations--in village newspapers
in whisperings from dark corners, or
rumor with her thousand tongues These
were Tie witnesses which his colleague
brings here to convict not John Tyler on
ly, but the man holding the highest and
most august station in hs nation by the
free suhrages Of the people, of periidy.
The gentleman had spoken of the differ
cnt issues that were made in the presidcn-
tiat contest, one of which was the Eloon
case; but now that the president was act
ing out the principles which he had pro-
lessed during his whole life, the cry me
and from Virginia too, of ''head him or
die" His colleague might die, but he
never would head Captain Tyler. The
gentleman said that if his son, boy Of
10, was to write letter that contained
as much tom toolery as was in this
veto message, he would take him from
school and gut him to the plough Now
he Mr.. GlmeT did not know how the
| gcntieman's son wrote, but he had seen
something of the fathers writing. He be-
Ilcvcd he was The only NJ. &. on this floor
who had the honor Of being par erccifeace
the correspondent the Richmond coffee
house. OF the letter which had since be-
come so famous as the cof'ec-house letter,
he would say nothing de guSGbus non
est djapUimadum. Alter some further re-
marks from Mr.. c.
Mr. Profit rose and in an animated and
efficient speech defended the president.
Messrs. Lane, Mason, Jones, and Thomp-
son replied, and then the vote was taken
on the question, shall this bill pass and

not being two-,hirds in favor Of the bill, it
