his pledges in preventing this prescription. How
truly we had judged Of This n ans character, the
our prediction WAS but speaking from experience
That one, who did not hesitate TO sacrifice TO
party interest the sacred confidence to which his
honor and character were phghled on entering
the Presidents Csblnet would, IN his err porte
revelations, bear false testimony when ialsehood
vas essential to make good the object he had in
view, none could doubt. And accordingly, upon
the face al this letter Of Mr.. Ewing, there are
abundant rals Of what lawyers Will call irlHHg
uItacsS, when they mean to describe an infertSt
ed aud JefrGying one.
Contradictions appear on the face Of Mr.. Ew.
ngs eplsoay deposition, IN essential points,
which thoroughly dlsproyo the whole scope Of its
statements; and, instead of establishing the
charge Of trcachey on Mr.. Tyler, fixes It on the
front OF his ungratetu accuser.
Mr.. Ewing admits that the first Bank was We
ocd con pure and honorable motives and "a
conscientious conviction that il conhlcled with
the Consliniionn The grounds Of that
veto verc, that Congress had no Ugh, to esab
lsh NailonaI Bank to operate per Sc through.
out the Un'on; that the proposed charter derived
thus nght from Congress, in derogalIon OF the
consent and rights Of the States. The further
ground was taken--that diSc0unfing Bank was
unnecessary as fiscal agent These grounds
would IN Mr.. EwIng's opinion, Justify the belief
that the President was aCtuated by conscientious
regard TO duty IN rejecting the first Bank.
When the second Bank became tho subject Of
discussion in the Cabinet Mr.. Badger is repre-
scented as opening the subject as to what Con.
gress would do.
Mr.. Badger said:
"lle believed they were perfectly roody to take
up the bill reported by the Secretary of the Treas
ufy, and pass at once. You replied, Talk not
to me Of Mr.. Ewlng's bill; 1t contains that odl.
GUS feature Of local discounts which have repu.

no doubt, air, that the House, having ascertalned
your views will pass a bill in conformity to them
provided they eau be satisfied that it would an.

the county,
Here the President is represented as utterly
repudIatIng Mr. Ewng's bill because 1T con
ialns that odlous feature of local accounts Mr.
Ewing was IN consultation vhen this strong dc.
nuncation Of the bill he had prepared was made,
and did not remind the President that the bill was
has own-prepared, as Mr.. Ewing pretends IN
another part Of his letter, by the direction Of the
President, and afterwards approved by him.
BU The President again adverts, in his Cabinet
consultations, TO The nsutmounlabe objection
which he had 10 a Bank OF discount In Cabinet
meeting when giving instructions to Mr.. Ewing
to make an effort to procure the passage Of such
bill as he could sign, Mr.. Ewing represents
the President as asking him, "Whal do you un.
dersand to be my opin ons' State them, so
that may see that there IS no Misrepresentation
about them"
Mr.. Ewing gives bis own answer to this and
the Presidents reply, thus THAT they might
authorize such Bank 10 establish Offices Of dis.
count and deposlte in the several States, with the
assent ofthe States. To this you replied, Don't
