DEVELOPMENTS.
No additional evidence was needed 10 convince III
e!Iicent men of the fraud committed on the people IN
The Presidential election OF lcI0; but MIR. wise aha
The nadisonan are disclosing snme particulars when
ouuhi not TO escape public attention. In al editoa'
ar,ce Of Yesterday the Madisonan, in effect, makes
the following statements, VIZ:
s.Tba, John Tyler late in the winter Of lS3, or ear
~ IN the spring of lSl0 consulted by certain mol
yidu.is as 10 his opinion viii; respect 10 u b Bank;
that IN answer, he addressed letter 10 the lion lien

attic CONSTITUTIONS. 49,
..Tbis liter was exhibited to all the leading Wings
in Congress for Their perusal, and for their advice Us
To the sxpediency of rs publication: and they depre-
Gated most eloqucniy any revelation al lis con-hts To
The public, for fear night hurt tae HcEet where the
question Of L. s. Bank vas popular.
There arc two aspects which the facts here dis
clneed illustrate The character OF Whiggery.
First. the concealmen; OF john Tyler opinion from
the people, lest the truth should "haF me tttael.
This vas fraud such of the people as were IN favor
Of Il b nk.
Secondly The conduc, Of the leading Wings towards
joan TYLER in charging him with bad faith and treason
to the Wing party for his vctoes OF the Bank oIiis'
when they had his written dcclaration made before
the election that he considered Bank of the L. 5.
unconstitutional The Madisonian says, some of those
very members Of Congress '.who strongly protested
ngains. Mr. Tyler's wish lor the publication OF his
letter are the persons who now most loudly al
tack hm with the charge OF gross inconsistency OF OPT
MON and ,re achery conduct, Such the character
at higgery!
These facts tend to elevate Mr.. Tyler. 1t now ap
nears that he only avowed hrs opinion IN writing
hut wished published His error was IN not making
known those opinions himself. he should not have
remained the quit instrument of those whoa he knew
70 be practising fraud the public, by Withholding
his opinous as well those OF General Harrison, from
"be public eve" For that error, lac IS now punished
y the abuse u hc knaves whom he suffered 10 use h'tn
but, compared With them, history VIII pronounce MN
an angel # hcht.
In tie following statements, the Madisonan makes
Important dsoio ures in reference TO later PERIOD,
which further illustrate the character OF NhggeTy VIZ
"John TYLER, so far from using the question OF
Bank q Bank means 10 forward his reelection,
distinctly and cuphacay announced to his first cab
net his cheerful willingness to declare his intention o
retrng after Tie close Of the first term, so ta his set
tied riclion of the incHpedlency and unconstu-
tionall,y of Il Bank should not be interpreted INTO q
desire TO propi,,ae the popular TO his support
and has cabne, Gssalded him iro'a any such express
sion Of his independent, honest feeling
"a committee of members of Congress waited upon
Mr. Gushing, and requested him to state TO the Presi
den, that the question of L. States Blnk should no
longer BE- autatrd # he Uhe Pfesden would promise
10 retain The cabinet constituted by Cen Ear
rison."
VIVA. w: he thought after this disclosure of those
IN. President with dui city this very subject:
But tic last stem lays bare the character Of Wig
gerry ".fea no; yrirripitS, should be their motto
They were wiling 20 give up that great "Hhg pr"
c;pit--a National Bank--if only The original cabinet
could &c retained Office was preferred TO Wlncipe
The cabiiet were wlllng, for The sake OF office TO
Give up Bank Ru, when they could not get pro-
muse OF being in Office, they resigned, to avoid
hcinr turned out and made themselves The victims Of
principle
This is Whicrcry all over. False, trcacherous, self
ish and unpuncipleG-by concealirs MS rrinc'pies IL
gained powcr--and, 10 keep Il, was ready TO ahjure
thcui--but when, hy suc means the end cannot be
attained il becomes all a, cnce the pure End disn-
tercs;ed advocate OF principle, sacrificing office Tor lis
sake.
Bat why were he Wigs anxious to retain Har
risun's Cabinet For tbs plain reason: u III one CT
ccptiou ii rms a CLAY Cob'nd |, was constructed 10
rive Henry Clay the benefit Of al the domestic pat
ronape nf tie Government contest for the success
sion Butcher Ewing and his associate Granger, were
10 place all the Offices Of the Treasury and Post Office
IN the hands Of Mr. Clay most INSCRIPTIONS part
sans Ewing was performing his bloody work without
mercy or -eGiorse; and Granger has hoased IN Con-
cres, that he deca plated eco pos'masiers IN his short
reign, and III one y.nr wou! have ADDED 3C00 more TO
The list To Gns! this work for The benefit OF H. Clay,
the Wigs of Congress desired TO keep the butchers IN
oiics; and, to accomplish ii, offered to give up the
Bank For THIS rrlcc, they were ready 10 sell their
PRINCIPLES, and 20 barrier away "Uttg measures; but
the Captain declined The bargain! II then that
"h,ad him lie became the Wing motto, and We
haze seen nine months regular session Of Congress,
besides several months "exra, chiefly spent in this
prol'sse game.
The Madisonan promises further disclosures and
bid il God speed While it is w,ping wicked asrer.
sions from the character Of President Tyler, doing
Justice 10 an sed people, and furnishing.
materials for Il history OF the Wing party.
