ARNOLD, STANLY AND BOLTS.

These three men are the acknowledged and
accredited leaders Of the Clay Wing party
And Bolts is the head and chief of the three =
The bitterness and venom they have long har-
bored against the President. first found vent in
vilifying speeches in the House of Representa-
tives, but this produced no good effect, and thea
they poured out their gall in denunciatory let
tiers to meagre Clay meetings in New York,
Philadelphia, &c. In this too, they met with
no success.
Deputed by the party in Congress to settle
all points of party-legislation, small band of
which Bolts was the leader, met weekly, often
nightly, in caucus, to devise more effectual
means to "head" the President. When these
chiefs decided among themselves what should
be DONE the Integencer published the decision,
and the colared majority always carried through
their projects. Sometimes twenty, sometimes
fifteen, often less, and once only seven decided
matters in caucus which were sanctioned by
the colIared majority. Thus the destiny OF our
country has been in the hands of such men as
these Clay leaders, Arnold, Stanly and Bolts
But il will not be so long There are relig-
Gus, CONSCIENTIOUS men among the WING mem
bers of Congress- We have already seen midi
cations of rebellion. The dishonest Clay party
in Congress is doomed to speedy dissolution
The People will not longer be deceived by them.
Already has the chief been defeated in caucus.
His impeachment scheme has been most hui
initiating failure. But the country will demand
the names of all of the conspirators. The
Wings will hnd out that their leaders, while
charging the President with ''throwing himself
into the arms of the Locofocos," were at the
moment, making overtures to the incorruptible
| Democrats in the Senate. We ask Mr.. Bolts
if Mr. Bayard was not spoken to, to prevail on
Mr.. Mangum to resign, and to induce the Wings
to vote for Mr.. King, so that both parties would
unite in mpeaching and suspending the Presi
dent OF course Mr. King did, or would have
spurned such a proposition. OF course MIR
Mangum would have betrayed the whole matter
and abandoned the scheme. rather than yield tn,
sceplre. Among them IL has been made a fail
ure-but the stigma will remain with them for
ever.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,


July 49, 1912.
SIR: Your letter Of this date calling my attention
to al article in the Madisonian of this morning was
placed in my hands few minutes snceby your friend
Mr.. Graham
am not aware of having made any remarks in the
debate alluded to calculated to give personal offence
TO you. You had given me provoca'ion whatever
and am in the habit of seeking personal contro-
versies with any gentleman.
Believing that you had done injustice to the Presi-
dent did say, in the of my remarks, "tha it
was humiating to an Anne lean to hear such epthets
as you u ed applied in the National Legislature the
Chief Magistrate of the Republic, especially when
they came from men who had aided in eevating him
to power" &c. also used the language quoted in
the Madisonan, as follows:
"He (Mr Tyler) was man of as much truth ho-
and integrity, as any of those who have been
and still in the habit of reviling and traducng
HIM" 1t will further be recollected by those who
heard me that distinctly dIsclamed any intention to
insult those who differed with me opinion
did not intend nor did "throw back upon YOU
the charges of "falsehood and lying" which you had
preferred against the President; was it my inlcn-
ton to act the representative of Mr. Tyler except
far to assert the opinion that the charges against
h m unfounded and that he man of hon
osy and veracity | sustain Mr. Tyler whenever he
suslains Democ attic principles further than this,
one who knows me will expect me to go. Trusting
this planation may prove satisfactory, am, respect
fully your obedient servant,
'' - JOHN B. WELLER.
Hon. ED. STANLY
1t will be seen that we quoted Mr. Weller
correctly. Mr. Weller says, (and we shall ever
thank him for his defence Of an absent man) 81
did not intend, nor did throw back upon you
the charges. &c, which you preferred against
the President"
Distinctly, emphatically, deliberately, 10,
throw them back

We cannot suppress our indignation when
we think Of The coli-hearted butchery dictated
b = Mr.. Clay. We cannot withhold the express
sion of our disgust, when we see the party that
adheres to the desperate fortunes of the Dcta-
tor, striving 10 screen their tyrannlca master
from the pubic view, and laborng to create the
impression that he has no agency in the san
CULINARY woik going on in the Senate.
We ask what Senator, not blinded by his de-
votion to Mr.. Clay, would have voted for the
rejection of Mr.. Clinton at Buffalo 1t was an
insult to the memory of the great De Writ
CLINTON, thus publicly 10 disgrace and stigma
tise his surviving son! The son of De VIII
Clinton sacrificed TO appease the revengeful
passion of Henry Clay We know nothing fur
ther of Mr.. ClinIon's politics, than that he was
mild and temperate in his opinions, and had per
haps expressed his intention not to vote tor Mr..
Clay.
How long will such things be? When will
our country rouse from its lelhargy and throw
off Its party shackes2

CORRESPONDENTS WITH MEXICO

We commence the publication OF this able
correspondence to-day The first des patch OF
the Secretary of State to Mr.. Bocanegra is
marked with consummate ability, and breathes
tone both firm and conciliatory. The last de-
spatch becomngly repels the outrage by the
Mexican Secretary in his ascripton of bad faith
to the Government and Cabinet at Washing
ton. The course pursued by Mexico has been
extraordinary throughout. Without any prev-
Gus complaint made and without just deve-
lopment of the facts, the Mexican Secretary de-
llvers formal protest, not to Mr.. Tompson alone,
but TO all the Diplomats at Mexico, in which he
charges upon the American Government bad
faith, and declares It's preference to an actual
state OF hostilities to continuance OF the ex-
slng state of things. Mr.. Webster entirely
vindicates this Government from any such
charge of bad faith; and Santa Anna has now
to adopt such measures, of peace or war, as to
him shall seem proper. The responsibility OF
disturbing the amicable relations of the two
countries is entirely with him.
We are at a loss to account for this sudden
freak Of the Mexican Government. We are
aware of the existence of heavy and large
claims held by American citizens against Mexi-
CO, and this may be but an expedient to get rid
of their payment. In order to accomplish this.
Mr.. Thompson will, possibly, be sent home by
Santa Anna so as to deprive this Government
of the means of urging their payment; but we
have strong doubt whether this Government
will be inclined to submit, in quiet, to such a
state OF things. The relations between the two
countries are in situation not very far from be-
ing critical.
We trust that Congress will now see the ne
cessitY of passing reUenue bill without delay,
and without embarrassing it with an Gpproprld-
ton, either in the form of distribution or other
wise. We may have occasion not only for eve
nv dollar from the land fund, but resort to
other measures may be required to give efficien-
CIV to Governmental operations

MEsSRs. SNYDER AND MATHIOT

MESSRS. SNYDER AND MATHIOT
We design to re-insert, every few days, this
true version of Mr. Mathiops disgracefnl as
Sault on the President, and the noble and over
whelmng defence of MIR. Synder.
Mr.. Malhiot rose (Mr. Weller giving Way
for the purpose as he declared to convict the
President of utterng deliberate lie !" or, in
case of failure, TO receive the Sc brand Of inta-
my" on his own brow.
The substance of Mr.. MS charge was this,
viz:-He called on the President on the Friday
previous to the Veto of the last Bank bill, and
during the interview the President (according
to Mr.. ND
why the Wing party could not be satisfied with that
measure. He (Mr Mathto) said that 1t did not meet
with the appreciation of the Wings.
'The President desired to know whether he Mr.
Mahiot) had studied the principles of MIR. Ewing
bl? The President then went 10 discuss tina,
BILL to defend it section by section, shoOing conclu-
siuely that Mr.. Tyler had himself studied the bill
had read it carefully. And yet the President said
after this interview, to his (Mr. Mathiot's) col
league from Montgomery, that he mr.. Iyler) had
not read the Dill Of Epings, and did not knoD rhe-
ther he could approve 10"
When Mr.. M. concluded, he turned exulting-
ly to Mr. Weller, and desired to know if he had
not convicted The President of having uttered
g a aoilful and deliberate He?"
At this juncture Mr.. Snyder rose.
Mr.. Snyder asked Mr. Ma.hiot whether he (Mr
M) did not tell him (Mr. Snyder that on the Friday
evening after he left the Presidents the Pres DEM
sent him MIR. M a message-that, since the depar-
lure of Mr. NJ, he (the Presidency had read Ewing
bill, and found it SO entirely different from what he
| ina gined it to be, he could not approve it,
Mr.. Mathiot replied that he had no recollection Of
telling Mr.. Snyder, any such thing.
Mr. SNYDER then sad-sT DO NOW ASSERT
Mr.. SPEAKER, IN VIEW OF THE FULL RESPONSIBLE
LrTY WHICH MY DECLARATION CAN BRING, IN THE
FACE OF THIS HOUSE, AND UPON MY HONOR AS A
GENTLEMAN, THAT Mr.. MATHloT DID TELL ME-
SOL"
Thus the matter terminated, and this is thu
| true version. That there may Der mistake, i
will be repeated IN the House.
| The Intelligencer closes its report with Mr.
Mathiots disclaimer, and by suppressing Mr.
Snyder's solemn asseveraton, leaves the
charge against the President uncontradicted !
The Globe, for reasons easily imagined, gives
no account OF the AFFAIR Whatever. Dul lLt LII
telIigencer's false report is copied by the Baltl
more Patriot, and will go the rounds Of the Clay
/ press. Thus the clicked ont Cabinet" seek tc
establish their charges against the President,
and thus the Federal Bank presses intend 10 Sc
cure Mr.. Clay's election
Let them go on-TRUrH willyet prevail. We
shall continue to insert the above at proper in
tervals, until the whole country shall perceive
the rascalty and proAigacy resorted to to crush
the Chief Magistrate.

of the whole country, is not far behind an intel
ligent proposition to conduct the waters OF the
Potomac over the heights Of Geogeto n. II
is the attempt of the Wings to drive from them
demned measures upon the People, which occa-
stoned all this difficulty in Legislation. 1t is the
desire to take back what they renqulshed pre-
