LETTER FROM MR.. BOLTS.

To the Editor Of the JMadisonian:
Sir: Mr. Upshurs letter to MIR. Wise was first
published in the Madisonian; and, in common cour-
tesy, should have presented to that paper copy of
my reply for publication, but that good reason had
been furnished for the belief that | had nothing to
expect at the hands Of its conductors.
During the last summer they gave publicity to one
of my private ettersI mean the &C Coffee House let
teri as it was call. d-and then refused place to my
letter of explanation that circumstance, together
with the general course the paper has taken In all
that was connected with my name, forbade my max
ing any request of them; but think have right
to ask that you publish the whole of my letter if you
publish part.
should regret to see any paper protesting to be
more partial to me than to Mr.. Upshur, politically
selecting such portions Of his reply, when it comes
would suit their purposes and emitting such other
parts as to him might seem most material; and, yet
such is the example you set them. | am sure you vii
not pursue this course towards him. hope you viii
do me the justice to publish the whole of mine as i
appeared in the Integencer or Independent, other
wise your readers will have no opportunity OF decd
ing the question of veracity between u.s.
Fiat justita ruat celum."
Yours &C.

The resolution was then laid upon the table
The bills from the House making an appropriation
for pensions, and for the relief and protection OF
American in foreign countries, were several
y read first and second time and appropriately re-
ferred
Mr. BUCHANAN moved to postpone the orders
of tho day. for the purpose of taking up the bills IN
dictated by the Senator from Louisiana, MI Mou-
TONY They all knew that the gentleman was in
peculiar position, and it little as they could
do to give him part of the day.
MIR. WALKER suggested that he had submitted a
resolution relative to the joint commission between
Mexico and the United States; and as II couid DC
disposed of in very short time, he hoped mat inc

Mr. WALKER would not urge his request
The bill to confirm certain land claims in the State
of Louisiana was then ordered to be engrossed for
! third reading.
The bill to enable claimants in the States OF Ar

plishment, will be rewarded by a grateful and
generous country.
The bill will doubtless be speedily reported
by the committee in the House; it was not
given to committee in the Senate until it had
undergone the fiery ordeal of adverse factious
spirits. When it is reported, (presuming it to
be so modified as to merit the entire appreciation
of the people,) we invoke the calm, considerate
and conciliatory consideration of the members
in its behalf. The eyes of the whole country
will be on them. If any member shall wantonly
oppose an unnecessary obstacle in the way of
final adjustment of this difficult and vexatious
subject-if the common welfare of his country
shall be sacrificed to subserve his party ends
let him not think to escape the whitening and
blasting Indignation, the scorn and derlslon OF
his outraged and insulted countrymen. But we
trust there will be none such. We trust that
Wings and Democrats will be found shoulder to
shoulder, laboring manfuly for the benefit of the
aoAole country, and not at the bidding of clique
of self-constituled leaders.

MAIL REoovERED.-Yesterday morning about four
O'Clock the mail stage left this place. for Pittsburgh
with two ladies and gentleman as passengers In
attempting to cross Harmon's creek, (Which had
swollen from the heavy rains) about mile of this
place, the stage came uncoupled the driver fell for
ward and the body of the stage rolled over and over
with the passengers in it, till it caught on root.
The passengers had then to work themselves out or
be drowned which they did. The driver rescued
the two ladies, who were floating down stream. The
gentleman saved himself The horses became en-
tangled in the harness and were all drowned. The
mail also in the creek, but through the exertons
of the enterprsing proprietor Mr.. Roberts, it was
found yesterday afternoon and brought back to town
opened, dried and again despatched. None of the
letters were damaged and the newspapers sustained
but little injury.

THE EXCHEQUER BILL-COMPRO O.
MISE

The plan of finance before Congress is un-
doubtedly the most important subject demand
ing serious and decisive legislation. If this SUBJ
ject is amicably disposed of-satisfactorily adj
justed-a political millennium will ensue. The
country will be prosperous and the people hap
py the rancorous outbursts of partisan passion
will abate; our credit at home and abroad will
be permanently reinstated; the demagogues
the dogs of party, will have no longer ssthe
bone of contention )" in peace there will be
plenty, and in war we will be prepared for any
emergency. The people desire the consumma
ton Of such an event-their interest and honor
combine to demand it.
The only difficulty in the way, is the selfish
schemes and treacherous devices of ambitious
members which run counter to every measure
OF the Administration that is calculated to effec:
any good for the country, or to rebound to the
honor OF the President. We trust, however,
that patriotism will prevail We will not be-
lieve that the representatives of a mighty and
magnanmous people, will withhold their sup.
port from measure fraught with such general
benefit, at such crisis as the present We in
woke them to permit patriotism to overcome
mere party scruples This will be glorious
triumph, and those who contribute to its accom-

GOV. SPRAGUE-THER RHODE ISLAND
SENATOR-GOOD!

The notice Of the election of the Hon. VIM.
Sprague, in the place of the Hon. Nathan F.
Dixon, deceased, which appeared in yesterdays
Madisonian, was clipped from the postscript of
the Journal of Commerce, as we were going to
press The election Of Gov. Sprague deserves
a more particular notice than the one copied
In it he is set down merely as "Whig," and
Mr.. Arnold, whom he defeated, ("Opp.")-the
first is rather an equlvoca term, and the ('Opp.")
was, In this instance, no less than Clay man.
GOVERNOR SPRAGUE is A FRIEND
OF THE ADMINISTRATION, AND HIS
ELECTION MAY BE HAILED AS THE
FIRST OF A SERIES OF GLORIOUS
TRIUMPHS TOBE ACHIEVED BY THE
FRIENDS OF THE CONSTITUTION
AND GOOD GOVERNMENT UNDER
THE AUSPICES OF PRESIDENT TY-
LER! Factious party leaders have Disguised
the People, and the TRUEePATRIoTs are daily
rayng under the banner of the Administra-
ton.
The dark clouds that beset the President, al
the commencement of his administration, are
beginning to clear away. He faced the storm
at the first onset, and his iron frmness has wea-
thered the gale. The empty bellowings of de-
magogues, and the vituperative thunders OF
bribed presses, have become familiar sounds, and
as harmless as familiar. They now subsidins
from mere pro6tless exhaustion, while the OBJ
ject of their abuse pursues the straightforward
course of the uncompromising patriot He was
never dsrnayed. He never paused in doubt
He knew, he knoaps, that the principles which
govern all his actions are the republican prin
ciples Of the country--the pure principles of oul
fathers, the founders Of the Republic. Hence
we daily see hundreds and thousands from al
parties ralying to the support of his admins,
tration. 1t needs no gift of prophecy to fore
tell that his sun, which rose in gloom, will set
in the glorious splendor OF his country's plau-
dts

PREAMBLE AND REsoLU TIoNs.

Among the many privileges which we en- Joy as
freemen there is to be valued more highly or
loved more tendely than the right of peaceaby assem-
bling together and freely nterchangng respective
vi. ws on the condition of our common country and
political conduct of its rulers.
This is right dear to us our very existence, and
the legitimate maintenance of which the present
and future happiness Of Republic chiefly depends
SolemnIy impressed with this TRUTH and further be-
licving as we do that our Chief Magistrate John Ty
Ter, in all his official duties is acluated by no other
motives than high sense OF honor and deep devo-
ton to the general interests OF all parties, which Is
manifested by his repeated recommendations of for
bearance and mutual concession of sectional rights for
the general welfare of all therefore,
l. Resolped, That we have not called this meeting
for any party personal purposes or with any view,
even the most distant, of causing dsunon among our
Wing brethren; on the contrary We sincerely lament
the dissensons already among them; our sole and on
" object IS to unite closely our broken ranks;
and rally once more, heart and hand around the glo-
rious banner which but recently we bore In triumph
from end of this vast continent TO the other
q Resoiped, That, in the opinion of this meeting,
the various accusations made against President Iy-
Ter, and deeply affecting his character for veracity
and honor have not been satisfactorily established
and must have originated in motives which we are I'M
willing to censure but cannot approve
I'd. Resolped, That the honorable Daniel Web
ste IN refusing TO be party to the accusations ana
uncalled for abuse thrown upon Mr.. Tyler by the
other members of his late Cabinet is entitled to the
thanks Of every lover of our country and has there
by strengthened the claims which he already possess
ed upon the gratitude of all tue Wings. We look
upon him with pride, standing he now does amid
the petty, disappointed and rcmorseless enemies of
Mr. Tyler. There he is amidst them, firm the
granite of his native State like man among chill
dren elevated above them by the maturity of judg
ment soundness of his constitutional views, purify of
his patriotism, and splendor of his talents.
4. Resolped, That, apart from all other cons-
deratons and in the absence of all positive evidence
the past life and unsued reputation OF President
Tyler would bear much deeper and darker stains
than those attempted to be thrown upon him by his

REMARKS.

We have no knowledge of the "letter of ex-
PLANTATION alluded to-nor are we responsible
for any article that appeared in the Madisonian,
for excluding any from it, previous to the 10Th
December last. If Mr.. Bolts had sent US du-
plicate of his communication that appeared in
the city journals mentioned, we would have
inserted it-but it is too late to talk about il
now. Thatit did not appear was has fault, not
ours. We copied, however, all his Evidence.
This we will continue to do, if the correspon-
dence continues, provided an early copy is sent
as
N. B.-We would remark that the letter of
Mr. Bolts that appeared in the Intelligencer on
the I'd inst. was copied in the Madisonian the
next day. Mr.. B. must have known this, and
the "common courtesy" was an afterthought,
and occurred to him since Tuesday last, the 9th,
when his second communication was furnished
to the Intelligencer and Independent, and we
were again sighted.
