rance Of which, / doubt not, you have had ample
cause TO regret
The Governor Owen story is quoted by YOU, gen
tlemen with great glee and satisfaction. You seem
to have forgotten that Mr. Tyler, IN Letter written
last summer to several gentlemen in North Carroll
ma pronounced that tale 10 be utterly unfounded.-
IL would have been more than fair That you should
have stated this fact. MIR. Tyers word with the ma
ton is quite good as that OF Dr. Hili' oil North
Carolina the author of this story You do not state
the truth therefore, when you say the tale has never
been denied In politics. as in all other things, there
is nothing like fairness and sincerely trust thai IN
all your future public displays, YOU Will not omit so
important a consideration 49,
You pronounce Mr. Tyler on an equality with a
highway robber, because he has not performed his
promises. What promises You first confess that
YOU exacted promises from him. and ehen accuse
him Of breaking what he never gave. surely, gem
tlemen, you must be mad. But you proceed to tack
together broken paragraphs from hisspeeches letters
and conversations, with view TO prove that he was
for national bank high protective tariff absolute
distribution, and such ultra measures The dslnge-
nuousness of this process resembles that OF The man
who said he could prove suicide to be command
from Christ 80 Does not the Scripture say, And
Judas went and hanged himselfH And does not the
Scripture further say, Go thou and do likewiske
The whole drift OF your reasoning made up oil Just
such false conclusions this is. You well know
that Mr.. Tyler never concealed his opinions upon
Straightout convention In Columbus, Ohio, he sat
forth his views most clearly and when he an
nounced his settled hostility national bank, the
air rent with shouts of appreciation. In his
Pittsburg letter Suppressed by the advice OF the
Wing leaders in Congress and out OF Congress) he
openly proclaimed his conviction of the unconstltu-
tionality of bank En- PEASANT, gentlemen, what do
you think OF the suppression OF this Plttsburg letter?
Were the Wings who advised II all black-legs?
Would they, too if they did not lack the courage be

swer me this you, who undertake to call John Ty-
Ter back-leg and highway robber Were it
worth the candle might SKETCH in bold relief, the
charcoal character of Mr.. Clay and his associates i'll
treachery without the necessity of their sitting for
the picture and without trenchng in the least upon
the Imagination for facts
Passing by numerous allegations which you adduce
against Mr.. Tyler-the ialsity of which, | hope for
the honor of human nature your ignorance OF pass
ing events is your excuse for not knowing come
that part of your letter wherein you reterate the
charge, that Dir. Tyler sat out with the determine
ton to be a candidate for the Presidency in 1874.
This same charge was made by the flying cabinet 1t
is utterly untrue, MIR. Ewing and his associates
testify if they will only have the manl,ness to tell
the truth. may have occasion, gentlemen, if cir
clmstance' should justify me, 10 unveil the secret
history of the first veto of the bank bills If
that be done, you and the country will see John Ty-
Ter stand forth in all his glory, the honest public
servant, regardless of personal ambition while his
treacherous and flying cabinet will be covered with
ignominy and shame. Perhaps, gentlemen, you know
to what allude. If you do not, your leader has
treated you stability, not to confde to you this i'm
portant part Of the secret history of the hundred
days session.
You repeat, sorry to see, the silly filings about
Mr.. Tyers nsignifcance. If he be the clash in the
pam" which Mr.. Clay asserts him to beif he be the
worthless insignificant creature, you say he is-wlll
you tell me why such oceans of ink are poured out

are printed, to prove a fact, which you proclaim is
known, seen, and felt, by every man. woman, and
child, in the nation; For nine long months, the
whole power of Congress was directed against this
insignificant animal John Tyler; and the English
language absolutely drained of all its invece to
denounce him. From Maine to louisiana from Ma
ryland TO Missouri the burden of political complaint
is John Tyler! John Tyler John Tyler! The woods,
the valleys, the h-tops the mountain crest the
plains resound his name, and his name alone. When
see whole people shaken to their very centre by
the good.acts OF this one man--when ] see furious
party ready TO tear him to pieces for doing his duty
to his country, cannot come to the conclusion that
this man is a mere flash in the PAM The conduct
of Mr. Clay and lis friends towards Mr. TYLER proves
that they do not believe what they say about his in
significance The stone that is rejected, oft becomes
the head of the corner.
You ask gentlemen, whether there is any limit to
the folly of human nature There is; and that is
the hope you innocenty entertain of the election Of
Mr.. Clay to the Presidency in 1874
And now, gentlemen, leave you to mediate upon
the certain defeat that awaits you. The coming cec
ton in your State will prove you how utterly
futile has been this attempt of yours to stay the tide
of Democracy 1t will sweep with mighty rush
over the hills and through the valleys of old Mary
land, cleansing her soil forever from the pollution Of
Clayism. JUSTITIA
