DEvELoPMENTs.-No additional owl.
dence was needed TO convince intelligent
men of the fraud committed on the peo.
pie in the Presidential election of 1910:
but MIR Wise and the MadsOnian, are dis.
closing some particulars which ought not
to escape public attention. In an edi,O.
rial article Of yesterday, the Madisonian,
in effect, makes the following statements
viz:
"That John Tyler, late in the winter of
1889, or early in the spring of lS4O, was
consulted by certain individuals as to his
opinion with respect to United States
Bank; that. in answer, he addressed a let.
ter to the Hon, Henry A. Wise, stating
i as his opinion that Ora Bank oftlne
United States was unconstitutional, and
that he never could sanction the incOrpo-
ration of one, without an alteration ofthe
COnstitGtion.' go
This letter was exhibited 10 all the LEA.
ding wings in congress, for their pernsa;
and for their advice as to the expediencT
ofitS publication; and they deprecated
most eloquently, any revelation Of it, con.
fonts to the public, for fear it ''might hurt
the ticket" where the question ola U. 8.
Bank was popular"
There are two aspects in which the
facts here disclosed, illustrate the charac-
ter Ofwhiggery.
First, the concealmen: OF John TyIer's
opinion from the people, lest the Truth
should "HURT the TICKET" This was a
fraud on such Ofthe people as were in "a.
vor Of a bank.
Secondly. the cOnduct;of the leading
wings towards John Tyler, in charging
him with bad faith, AMI treason TO the
whig party for bis veioeS on the bank bills
when they had his written declaration,
made before the election, that he consid.
cred Bank Of the United States uncon.
stitutiOnal! The Madisonian SAYS, some
of those very members ofCongress. "wbo
strong ly protested against Mr.. Tyler's
wish for the publication of his letter. ara
the same persons who now most loudly
attack him with the charge of gross inS
consistency Of opinion, and treacherv in
conduci! Such is the character of whig.
gerry!
These facts tend to elevate Mr.. TYLER.
lt.now appears that be not only avowet
his opinion iu writing, but wished it pub.
lished. His error was in not making
known those opinions himself. He should
not have remained the quiet instrument
ct those whom he knew to be practising
fraud on the public by withholding HE
opinions as well as those Of General Har-
risOn, from "the public eye." For that
error, he is now published by the abuse
OF the knaves whom he suffered 10 use

tory will pronounce him an ANGEL or
LIGHT.

sonlan makes important disclosures in
