OF one manH
Mr.. Weller was on the floor, and con.
cluded a speech of something less than an
hour, with The following remarks:-
AS to the alleged coalition between the
friends Of The President and the Demo
cratic party, il any such existed, it was
an principle. 1t was said a bargain had
been struck; let it be proved, Mr.. W.
demanded the evidence. No effort had
been made by the Democratic party 10
reduce the President inIo allegiance to
them; and if there had, it would have
been useless the President conducted the
Administration on bis own principles,
aud would be governed by no man.
Mr.. WIS colleague (Mr. MathIot) said
he was prepared to prove that the Presi'
dent had deliberately and w%iIluIIy he'd
now Mr. W. had sill a little time left,
aid he would cheerfuIly yield him the
floor for that purpose. He dared him 10
the proof. He Joined issue, and called
for proof. Let the gentleman maintain
his assertion, or else let the epilhet he
had applied 10 tho President attach tt
him.
Mr.. Malhiot, accepting the challenge
rose to address the committee. He saiC
that his charge was that Mr.. Tyler hat
wiICulIy and deliberately told what wal
not true.
MI. weller. Has lied?
Mr.. Mathiot. Yes; deliberately anC
,wiIlully lied. That is the charge, anC

Why's retired from the White House,
Tho President complained of this, un
said he was left in the hands Of the Loo
'Focos, and was anxious to see his VIII
friends. When the members of the Oh
DELEGATION ascerlaincd this TO be ii
case, they held a meeting for the pu
pose of OF consulting on the propriety
visiting the President. Strong objection
rswcro urged by some, especially by a
aged member Understood to be M
Morrow on the ground that while S
Important bill was pending before hiu
it wac indeIicalo IN members of Cor
eress 10 nifude upon the Chief Magi,
.trate. The Executive and Leglslnlly
branches of the Government were din
tihct and independent, aud the PresIder
ought 10 be left TO the dictates of hi
own Judgment in the case. But lhrs
objections were ovcrruled, and 1t was dt
termined by tho majority that The Wis
should be- paid, and they appointed
committee of two, TO wait on the Pres
