"HAoN.n-The Washington correspondent of the
Union who writes under this signature, appears again
last evening, in letter of more than Tour columns,
concluding it'll modest request for It's republication
in the Commercial.
In so far however, as the Commercial is bound, Ell
her in courtesy, honor justice TO note the contents
of this letter. its duty will be cheerfully performed
In the first place, then, il is explicitly denied that the
writer of HAoN Mr. John Tyler Jr., or that the let
written with the cognzance OF the President
Upon this point the Commercial has never made any
declarations of its 1t merely quoted declara-
ton by the editor Of the Detroit Advertiser, that he
KIN 10 Mr.. John Tyler, Jr-, to be the writer. But this
is the first contradiction that the Detroit Adyer-
tiser has received. The Cincinnati Republican has
denied the charge, in these explicit terms;
1--WE knor his statement that the article he quotes
was written by John Tyler, Jr, is utterly false, and
we have no doubt that in regard to what passed be-
tween him and young Mr., Tyler, he states what is
without shadow of foundation in truth"
To which, in language equally explicit, the Detroit
Advertiser responds
awe reteratc our former assertion that John
Tyler Jr did precisely that language to US, and
that he did write the Haon article word for word,
and letter for letter. with the exception of the sigma
turc, it appeared in the Union, and we can prove
this fact by the Pres dent himself"
The issue upon this question Of veracity, therefore,
is not between Haon and ourselves but between him
and the Detroit journal. Nevertheless feel bound
to admit that if all Haon says of the conduct of the
editor of the Detroit Advertiser when in Washing on
be true that conduct, coupled with his subsequent
course, IS utterly ndefensiDe.
One thing 1t may be remembered that our
first notice of the writer, Haon, written in Au-
gust. on the 18th In that notice spoke OF rev.
Citations OF state IL not OF cabinet secrets, which we
| presumed must have been made by Haon with the
prvity at least of the President In connexion with
these revelations among other things said as fol-
| lows
ave confidently made acquainted with facts
and circumstances, nected with the action of the
Executive at that trying period, which have never
the light, before the publication before IN the
| Union. Facts and circumstances with others not yet
in print, which we DESTROYS of spreading before
the public last autumn, but which were not per-
mitted to do, for the reason, understood, that
understanding the freedom with which the retiring
! Secretaries had spoken of Cabinet Council proceed
ings, the President still considered them confidential
Haon inquiries of US, whether the proposition
of the President to his first Cabinet-the retiring Ca
binet we mean--to insert in of his messages a
declaration that he nouH mol be candidate for election
President in 1874, not of " the other frcts'
| to which we referred With that frankness and can
dor which we always mean TO observe, reply ex-
| plicitly in the affirmative.
