Mr. Giles condemned the instructions, and MT. Dre"'

troduce resolution condemnatory Of the conduct oi
those distinguished Senators. On this occasion ne
boldly and undsguisedly opposed the establishment,
of National Bank, yiolatory OF the principles o.
the Constitution. At subsequent period he "u

IN the National Legislature. The affairs OF the Bank
of the United States became involved she sto'o
upon the brink OF a precipice her strength "H
nearly exhausted. Mr.. Spencer, OF New YORK, me
talented and distinguished Secretary of War, moved
an investigation into the management and condition
of the institution In 1919, MIR Tyler was appon'eo
by the presiding officer of the House OF Representa-
tiyes the Hon. Henry Clay, one OF that committee
When the report OF this committee became the tub
iectmatter OF discussion, man in that body ex-
pressed himself decidedly in opposition 10 the
exercise of the power by Congress TO establish Ma
tional Bank.
In 1882 the question was taken the enfross-
ment of toe ewal of the bank charter for a third
reading and decided in the Affirmative, as folloss;

We subjoin the annexed extract from the Con-
gressional debates, explanatory G President Ty-
er's views regards the constitulisnality of Ma
tional Bank; from this it will be perceived that he
has other occasions, held opinions adverse TO the
establishment oil such an institution In 1884, he
pressed himself thus
To differ with such people is certainly painful
to me, particularly on the great question which now
agitates the country. He concurred with them in
much that they had expressed. Like them HE w AS
OPPOSED TO THE BANK OF THE UNITED
STATES ON HIGH CONSTITUTIONAL
GROUNDS, and SHOULD VOTE AGAINST
THE RENEWAL OF THE CHARTER FOR A
DAY AS WELL AS FOR ANY OTHER
TIME"
See Mr. Tyler's remarks submitting certain
resolutions adopted by the people Of Shenandoah
county, Virginia, vol 9, page $780, Congressional De-
bates.
Thus it is most manifest that, in 1884 about
one year before his nomination the Vice Pres-
dent, which took place in 1895, by The Maryland
Convention, and placed by the White party in North
Carolina, on ticket for the Vice Presidency and
four years before his nomination in 1899 he avowed
himself hostile to National Bank.
Thus also it appears by the journals Of Congress that
up to the meeting of the Harrisburg Convention, that
Mr.. Tyler has uniformly expressed himself in oppo-
stion to a National Bank.
