From the Hartford Conn., Patriot and Eagle
John TYLER.

The President has invited both parties to com
promise, and has offered himself mediator be-
tween them. The leaders on both sides, knowing that
peace would throw them out of employment are
struggling with ardor and zeal worthy of better
cause, to keep down the rising wishes of the people
They are staying off the question in Congress, and
will keep it out of sight until they forced up to
it by the pressure of public opinion. Meanwhile,
the President is waiting patiently for congressional
action, and the people are beginning to be impatient
and to rally for the Administration
John Tyler is in enviable position, If he be not
deceived by pretended friends and induced to put too
many hostile weapons into the hands of his real
miles, he may be assured of the best sort of support
the support Of the people. Men getting tired Of
testible selfshness of partisan leaders Indications
seen daily of the growing disposition of the peo-
pie to sustain the present Administration, maugre
present parties and their leaders Let President 1y
Ter go on, and calmly and conscientousy discharge
his duty and he need not fear for the present nor
yet for the future

SECRETARY OF STATES LETTER TO MR.
EVERETT-THE CREOLE AFFAIR

The letter from the Secretary of State to Mr..
Everett in relation TO the case Of the Creole,
having been put in possession of the Commit
tee on Printing, we have as yet been unable to
obtain copy of it for publication. As there
has been so much speculation in regard to the
course which would be pursued by the Admins
tration with respect to this case and such varie-
ty of conjectures have been made concerning
the exact purport Of the instructions which
may have been given to Mr.. Everett, we are So
licitous TO have it in our power to lay this i'm
portant document before our readers. We hope
very shortly to be able to crafty the public by
its perusal at length. In the mean time curiosi-
y may be in some measure gratifed by the Sc
nate proceedings Of Monday. From the sketch
of the remarks made by Messrs. Walker and
Calhoun enough may be cleaned Of the decided
stand taken by the Executive in relation TO this
case, and the grounds he will assume in all SINH
lar questions. For the alternatives which may
Immediately ensue, we refer to what we have
already written on these subjects.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE INDEPENDENT
PRESS

1t is said in some quarters, that the President is
supported only by the penny press. But why is this
so Certainly not account Of any favors ever given
to- or expected by them but because both he and they
stand upon the same high ground, unshackled by par
~ chains, breathing the air of freedom and exertng
their untrammelled energies in the cause of their
country, of justice, and of truth. IT. in this great
struggle the independent penny press has found so
efficient fellow-solder as the President Of the
United States, It is just of congratulations and
long may be before they find any reason for parting
company They are heroic champions in righteous
cause, the eventual triumph of which is certain as
the onward march of time. ~ Sun

MR.. UPSHUR'S LETTER
WlLLlAMssuRo, FEsaUA.Y, 70, 1s42.

WILLIAMSBURG, FEBHUAHY, IL, 1872.
DEAR Sra We hatter ourselves that you will re-
cognize our names as those who were students OF
William and Mary, and will remember Of the
number who were in the habit Of resorting TO your
conversation as source of instruction on political
and constitutional law. We trust that you need no
assurance of our gratitude for the benefits that
have derived from you society yet It gives US plea
sore to say how much we have been indebted to you
for those views of the Constitution Of the United
States in which we have been enabled TO see how
fully it deserved the admiration of the world, and
that sentiment of devotion to il which 1t was al
ways on such occasions, your endeayor TO inspire
You will Judge our surprise at seeing that you have
been accused of sentiment the very reverse oil thls
and moreover that you are charged with attempts To
nfuse the same mischievous sentiment into the minds
of ourselves and those who were our elow-students
We beg, therefore, TO be allowed to bear our tesi
mony against this charge. In dong SO, we declare
unhesitatngly, that you have uniformly taught us 10
consider the Federal Constitution, interpreted and
considered in its true federave character and spirit
the very best form of government in the world !;
that you have taught to cherish 1t as SUCH ana TO
guard it against all violation or abuse From you
too, we have learned to believe that all attempts 10
increase the powers of the General Government, and
to add to its intensity of action, would have the ell
tect of oosenng its hold the affections OF the Peo
pie, and that, instead of securing its perpetuty, such
things would hasten its dissolution. In this view,
and from the very love Of unon you taught us TO re-
to endanger its disruption. That this might be the
effect Of such attempts we made to see, by rea-
son that their success would result i'll the arbitrary
and unsuitable tyranny Of an irresponsible majority,
not restrained by those sympathies which generally
perpade small communities from abuses of power in
comparison with which, the evils Of dsunion would
look like blessings That disunon is better than a
great central power, presiding with uncontrolled
sway great consolidated empire, we certainly
did learn from you. But it is equally true that you
taught to consider Union established by the Con-
srlrurloN the greatest political blessing euer enjoyed
by any People.
We are at a loss to understand how any can have
so Inexperienced you to render necessary tins
account of your sentiments as nculcated on our
minds. 1t seems that il may be so, and hence we
tender this testimony along with grateful acknow-
Judgments and the of our Interchangeable es-
TEEN, admiration, and confidence
We are, dear sir, most respectfully,
Your obedient servants,
WILLIAM $. PEACHY,
JOHN J. JONES.

Commander Of Squadron the Brazil Sta

before the time come around, as he could ship what
he had to the United States and the Board could ship

Congress performed its duty faithfully and
honestly '-and did not the President perform
his duty faithfully and honestly : Because, in
conscience, he believed a chartered moneyed
monopoly to be forbidden by the Constitution
because he would not suffer himself 10 be
trapped into approving the two aborlions which,
under different names, were nothing else than
heads of the old by dra, he is charged with all the
growth of calamity which has ensued since
the extra session! The Sub-Treasury was
condemned by popular will and the President
signed the ACT for its repeal A National Bank
was condemned by popular will, not merely
once, but twice, and the President, therefore, in
refusing his signature to the establishment OF
such an institution, no matter what name its
sponsors might give it, or what specous novel
ty Of shape it might assume, but obeyed the
popular will.
The dictate of the popular will, without re-
gard TO the grounds on which that will was
based, was not the only authority which the
President had to justify his course His objec-
ton TO a National Bank had the sanction of the
Constitution. To be sure, the Intelligencer is
positive that it is not prohibited by that author
ity. But the President is responsible officer
Of the people, and was obliged TO act in contor-
nifty with his own Interpretation Of that nsru-
ment; and if he might trust the wisdom of ma
ny OF the most eminent statesmen the country
has produced if he might trust the Judgment OF
the people as indicated in their repeated con-
demnation of Bank, he could safely confide,
with such authority approving his own views,
in the correctness his Interpretation. He then is
not responsible for the growth of calamity since
the extra session but those who pe.versely and
in spite of the declared will of the people, would
force Bank on the country. The odlum OF
the name was eschewed but the two noxious
reptiles carried the marks Of their species too
strongly defined to be mistaken; and therefore,
though they were represented by their exhibit
ors TO lie not only harmless, but useful, they re-
ceived the fate they merited The act that de-
stroyed them has been applauled by the peo
pie.

February 10th -''I have had conversations with you
epery fall and spring, phiist attending your courts on
the subject" SC, &c. expressed, perhaps, more
than | meant. My meaning was, not that had a.
tended the courts Of Judge Upshur every spring and jail
since 1893, but that during my attendance his courts
held every spring and fall, had conversed with him
the subject referred to in the letter did attend his
courts, held in the counties of Accomac and North
ampton, every fall, and every spring too, except when
detained here by the long session of Congress have
missed four terms only, ] believe, in nine years..
The times of his courts were mentioned only as
among innumerable opportunities have had for ten
years of knowing his opinions especially on the sub

that you will publish this correction explanations

escaped the attention of the Senate yesterday, that
this was the birthday of the Father Of his Country
and he supposed that all would agree and say that
there were two days which ought to be regarded as
days of high jubilee in country the one the
birthday of our independence, and the other the
birthday of the man who, under Providence was
the principal instrument in achieving it
The question was then taken on the motion to adj
journ, and it was unanimously agreed to.
