to be agltated by the question OF VINO sna Succseo
to the Presidency three years hence? Personal
abuse of myself has entered largely into the
discussions in and out of Congress. This any
who may be In this office may be rea
dy to expect but should be most ready to compro-
mise with my bitter assaants in Congress by seeing
conceded to them any portion they may choose of
cry day, for the display of their unsurpassed eo-
quence in abuse of me, if the residue OF their time
could be given to the public good Is this great end
to be sacr iced to crafty small clique OF housing
politicians, who think that their petty schemes OF
hatred or ambition are of consequence than the
consideration of measures designed for general relef
] intended, however, only to express my approval OF
the sentiments contained in Mr. MORRIss letter, and
/ find myself BETRAYED into the above remarks.
Accept assurances ofmy highest respect.
JOHN TYLER.
The above letter has furnished food for an
editorial in yesterdays Intelligencer, of Excess
sive dignity and Of apparent candor. We
have heard it asserted that, occasionally, our
worthy friends and nelghbors, editing the or
gan of the Wing majority of the House OF
Representatives Qet this fact always be borne
in mind) woke up from their accustomed leth-
argy and shook the earth with their thunder.
We presume their comment upon the Presi-
dents letter. was written under the stimulus OF
the periodical visitation of the spirit. But all
this will not do, Messrs. Gales and Seaton. The
People are not to be satisfied, when they have
the truth spread before them, as in the fearless
exposition above, with the alfectaton OF virgin
like innocence, or with matron dignity that
will not condescend to explanation, each OF
which qualities is represented to the life, as the
play demands, in the farccal editorial of the In
teligencer. The People must have something
more than an enviabe display Of the bounties
of bread and butter. Mark US, Messrs Ed
tors the loaf belongs to them, titbits and sops,
and promises. and excuses, and coy inuendoes,
and delightful, though funny depreciation of a
trial of the true issue, won't answer. This the
organ of the heels-over-head" Wing party in
Congress will, we think, yet find out, possibly,
when 1t is too late.
When the President intimates that the spirit
of faction has full sway in Congress, which re-
mark has called down the lightning of the In
tellgencer, does he not echo the general
voice of the country? Does he not an
nounce the sentiments of nine out OF
,welve men in the United States? Why is
this? Is it not bee ause Congress has been in
session ten months, at an expense OF nearly
$1,OOO,O0O, Ga milcn) Of dollars, and the coun-
try is now VIGOROUSLY in a condition equally as
bad or worse, than when Congress commenced
the extra session? WHAT'S the apology which
is offered by the responsible majority when COM
plants are borne to their ears on every breeze
from every section of the Confederacy? They
set up the stupid defence that the President We
toed two admitted inefficient Bank bills ? Was
it not his duty to do this, independent OF constl-
tutional objections? Did not the honor, and
afety, and happiness of the country require it2
sThese are faets-answer them.
Do not Arnold, Davis, Bolts, Mangum, Bar
row. Archer and Berrien, represent the spirit
whose controlling influence has been felt up to-,
this time in Congress? Answer this fact
Who have been engaged in attempting to de-
ny the President hearing before the country,
not denied to the criminal at the bar OF justice,
by endeavoring to strike down the official organ
while the organ of the House of Representa-
tves has now, we understand, waiting for it
$4,000 worth of Government printing, and un
der any circumstances has from $4,000 to l00,-
900 dollars worth of patronage;. answer this
fact? We confess that we are not at all sur
prised that the Integencer should defend the
misdoings of Congress.
Who have denounced the Presldent-a COM
mon thing on the floor of Congress-as traitor,
aperjurei man, an mbecile, while with hercu-
lean efforts he is and has been striving to ad-
vance the public good? And why is ne thus de-
nolnced2 Can it be because he uetoed too ineti-
Client Bank bills?
Who are the auth ors of the Manifesto Cl ub
Address, which, if it were true, should condemn
the President to eternal infamy2 And why was
this !? Can it be because he petoed t,oo IN
efficient Bank bills ?
Who pronounced the President to be sweak,
yacillating and faithless?" Who but the man
who stands at the head and front of the ma
jority of the mad Congress, who, rejecting
all compromise Of opinion himself, fancies that
everybody else, in defiance of expediency, pol
lev, or eonstitulionality, must come into his
measures-the measures to make him Presl-
deat--at the expense of liberality, the common
est courtesy and the true interests OF the country
