FOR THE MADIsoNIAN.

MR. EDITOR 1T is not my intention to enter into
close analysis of the speech delivered few days ago
by the Hon Mr. Botts but merely in justice to my own
feelings which have been so much excited by gross
and papabe misrepresentation; and with view of
setting public opinion right in the matter, that ven
to submit to you the fact in relation to point
of the gentemans speech in which he quotes the Ian
guage held by Mr.. Tyler at the time he spoke the
citizens of Wheeling.
Mr.. Bolts represents Mr.. Tyler as "as shaking an
empty purse the occasion, ridiculing the hard-mo
ney currency, and declaring that he preferred "good
United States Bank bills to gold and siIrer" Now,
sir, was an eye and an ear witness Icertainly saw
Mr. Tyler take out his purse and shake ii before the
crowd there assembled-but deny that it accom-
panied by the expression, either direct or to be infer
red, that he preferred United States Bank bill to
gold and silver for from the whole tenor Of lis Speech
he was holding up to the people the absurdes Of a
totally metallic currency" and 1t was in exempl-
caton of this that he held up his purse apparently
empty, but which, at the time, believed to have
tanned hin-plasters) and l. as well as my friends
near me, understood him as wishing merely to
convey his dsapprobation ofthe shnplaster currency
He may have meant this indirect expression of
disapprobation of the Sub Treasury system but he
certainly did not say that "he preferred United
States Bank bill to gold or silver coin" ...
Now, sir, am not the only one in this city who was
present at the time Mr.. Tyer's speech was delivered
and have no doubt that when this meets their eye,
they will recoect the fact as have stated il, and that
they will not hesitate to corroborae the truth of my
statement. I'D. w. ...Ir,

DOUBT of their having majority IN that pody as well
as IN the Senate.
The New York Journal of Commerce says the true
explanation of the phenomenon in Maine, Is to DO
foand in the pertinacious attempts OF portion OF
the Wing party to force upon the country, al all
hazards, National Bank and in their unmeasured
abuse of President Tyler because he refused to sane
ton the Had Mr.. Clay, or some other ultra
Wing, been at the head Of the Administration, and
| had Bank been established Gas of course 1t would
have been in the case supposed, we have no doubt
| that the change in Maine would have been much
greater than is at present. The fact is that the
people of Maine say of the country at large are
opposed to the establishment of National Bank Inns
is evinced by the fact that in 1882 with full know
ledge of Gen. Jackson determined opposition to
National Bank, they gave him majority OF ooo'
votes, and to Mr.. Van Buren,, in 1886, majority OF
775I votes The vote last November was not IN con-
radicon to the above,-or the question OF Nationai
Bank was not before the people as distinctive mea-
sure of the Wing party. Gen. Harrison had publicly
declared that he should not be in favor Of Bank, I'M
less plainly demanded by the people, and Tyler too
was known to be decidedly opposed to it. The diff
Guilty in Maine is not that the Whggery with which
they have been served lacks seasoning but that 1t
too highly seasoned. And the same difficulty will be
found elsewhere National Bank is to be the watch
word of the party. That question was fairly put to
the people on OCCASIONS and Mr.. Clay knows too
we'll how they decided it. Even Gen. Harrison run
badly Gin 1880 with this weight upon his neck In
1910 he had the free of his limbs, nnencumbered
by this weight while the Sub-treasury was heavy
burden upon the back of his opponent and the result
we need not repeat.
1t is important, in prescribing for diseases, not to
mistake their character; otherwise the prescription
may only aggravate, instead figuring them. To give
man more Bank, cure for Bank-nausea, Is
kind of homeopathic which we suspect will not an
swer 50 well as homeopathic does in Physie',-chiehy
because there is not the opportunity for humoug
in the former case as in the latter.

assent Of Congress" We make this quotation
from Senate Doc. No. II, page IL, 9th Con-
gress, lst session, being Mr.. Ewing's report of
"a plan of a Bank and Fiscal Agent of the
Government"
When Mr.. Clay's bill was before the Senate,
Mr.. Rives moved as an amendment to that bill
the precise language employed in Mr.. Ewing's
10th fundamental rule, and it was rejected. The
defence of the National Gazette, therefore, on
this point, falls to the ground, and Mr.. Ewing's
accuracy, not to say veracity, to this extent at
least stands impeached before the country.

Mr.. CLAY That nav be; but We think no such

at once consented 10 modify it so as to meet tue WISH

protected it from remarks such as the senator hao
made As TO the position that repeal necessarily ~

entirely So far from this, if there was 10 be no sub
s,tute under heaven for the sub-Treasury scheme II
repeaed he would nevertheless repeal IT, and that IN
Difference the declared will of the people OF the Y
s. But there conceanent, no mystery ihtehd-
ed Mr. C. would tell the honorable Senator, at once,
and with all frankness what he went for, and what he
he lie we'd his friends who acted with him meant 10 go
for-and that was Bank of the u s. That was the
object in view But the architect, before ne erected
building, first cleared away the rubbish winch occu-
pied and encountered the GROUND on which y was -
stand so the friends of National Bank desired first
TO remove this Sub.Treasury scheme clean out OF the
way. When they had done that then they were pre-
pared to move in the direct accomplishment OF their
object When they had got clean and fair sheet OF
paper before them then they should be prepared to IN
deem most e1pedient for the public good. Mr. c. again
observed that he had hoped, after yielding at once to
the wishes of the gentleman from New York, (Mr
Wright the resolution in this modified shape would
have encountered opposition from any quarter.
Mr. CALHOUN repeated that the modification o.
the resolution had met his ear: but he must still, OBJ
ect He knew perfectly well that the only alternative
was the Sub-Treasury or Bank of,he United States

the one and in favor of the other. The Senator hae
observed that architect pulled down first and bull
up afterwards. This was a metaphor but metaphor

Desperate FlHany.-A correspondents
of the New York American writing from
Niagara, details certain recent transactions
in that quarter more particularly than we
have seen them described by any other
hand:--
The patriots have, since the removal Of
the United States Army from Buffalo, again
made this neighborhood the scene of their
operations, in order, il they can, to embroil
both countries in war.
Last week, they made an attempt to blow
up two of her Majesty's steamboats,, lying
at anchor in the Niagara river, at Chippe-
wa Lett had laid this neiarous plot, and
since his arrest is said to have boasted, to
Gvo. Seward at Auburn, ''that he had been
recently in Canada, and would have been
successful if he had not been captured!" He
also acknowledged being the actor at the de-
structon of Brooks monuments and at re-
cent blowing up Of one of the locks on the
Welland CanaH
The machine consisted of two casks,
containing $50 bis. of powder. They were
each placed on frame one hundred yards
apart, (but connected by a rope,) with q
leaden pipe and fuse threin inserted, and
thus towed from Grand Island, and sent
drifting towards the vessel. One only of
the casks exploded, but most fortunately,
prematurely, being three hundred yards
short Of the mark--otherwise every soul
on board, with the vessels, must have been
destroyed.
II was about F. NJ. Those on board
at first thought il was the report of can
non. The men was speedily mustered,
and the machine was seen floating A boat
with six men was lowered, and whilst pro-
ceeding to secure it, 'cas fred at from
Grand Island, but happily without injury
And these things have disturbed the public
