They saw that he knew when he entered the Harris

body Of BAyK MEN, TARIFF MES, DISTRIBUTION MES;
and that, in uniting Their consultations 10 promote
their cause, le pledged himself 10 their principles
and that in accepting their nomination., he bound !Ei
self to carry them out. The address insists there
fore that If he maintained any designs under "men-
tal reservations to effect private views incompatible
with his public demonstrations, in asserting to the
purposes which he knew The convention had al heart
when nominating him, it makes out case OF d'ssmu-

There are one or two facts connected with the Bank
and the last Presidential Election, which may not be
undressing to your readers; and trust the Com

ments in my former letter. may recoliect something OF
what shall put in THIS communication before have

During the time which elapsed between the non.na-
tons at Harrisburg and the election, and while Con-
some, that the views of MIR. Tyler upon National
Bank should he obtained. For th's purpose, the Hon
Henry 4. Wise selected 10 address MIR. Tyler On
the subject, aud received answer Immediately, in
which The candidate for the Wee Presidency SAID
distinctly, that his views unchanged on The sub
ect of National Bank and that, were he President
he could sign Charter f.. such an institution
whilst the Constitution remained III ITS present form
This he plainly uacquivocay stated, TIA, Il might be
submitted 10 The Wings OF Congress, ana, through
them, to the nation.
This letter was shown hy Mr.. Wise 10 Mr.. Bddie
OF P,t,sbarg, and others, leading Wing members Of
Congress that time and 1t was lett ter them TO say
" hether the letter should be published OF not. They
decided that Mr. Tylcrs letter should not before the
pubic.
The reason for this was obvious They had deter
mined to run their candidate upon one simple mega
tive principle; aud that was opposition to the Sub
Treasury, without saying word Tor or against Ma
,onal Bank Many OF The leaders had declared tact
the Bank was hliilstone, that would drown any party
foolish enough TO adopt measure; and hence their
non commits! COURSE
II now became necessary TO ascertain the views oil
Mr. Clay he subject, and his declarations
were us clear and positive as were Mr. Tylers. Mr..
Clay declared himself unchanged III his late views OF Il

tuition that u entirely constitutional; but thai,
under present circumstances, he willing say
li:lle or nothing nb0u; II now, und would wait
preston OF the people the subject at some future
time.
Now this too suppressed, and the battle of $40
was fought simply under the banner Of opposition 10 the
Sub. Treasury, without the question Of Bank being
before the public except 81 far as IT was charged on
the Wings hy the Democrats, aud by the former re
PEELED, as forming part Of the Wing political creed.
The first at the extra session OF lSll, was I"
kick all lrmer professions, and grasp al the Bank,
the plus u};sa Of universal good, without waiting
an expression from the people on that subject The
result is known: and the thunders of The Democracy,
the fall elections Of lcl, show most clearly where
they supposed they during the contest of the pre-
vous year.
would now ask who is TO blame in ell this trcaery'
Mr. Tyler had said, long before the election where he
stood and the letter containing his opinions had been
suppressed ~ the wings. Let them answer as they
may Mr.. r}cr stood then where he stands now and
where he always has s,ood-on the broad ground
of Jefferson:an Democracy. Mr.. Wise defirous a.
publishing Mr.. Tyers letter, and prevented from
SO doing By the leading Wings Of Congress.
Under the impressions naturally conveyed By the
above position Of facts Mr. Wise much de-
ter euogizing Mr.. Clay, about which SO much has
been said. Mr. Wise expected Congress 10 wait
expression of public opinion and not rush headong
down precpice b!indtoded. lie expected MIR. Clay
10 be with him in this; and little did he imagine tina,
the first act Of reachery was TO be against the views
previously held out to the people.
No public expression was waited for. The deed was
done; but there stood in the door to prevent the
people being sacrificed 10 monopozing aris.ocracy.
Mr. Wise has been accused of excepting the con.
science of the King because he asserted that he did
not believe that John Tyler would sanction Bank
The assertion would have applied equally well TO Mr.
Clay who knew before the election that Mr. Tyler, IL
President. would never sanction national Bank while
The Constitution remained unallered
