President.
Not satisfied with abiding to Mr. Tyler's po-
litica character and acts, he INDUCED n 1--WE
cannot say he descended,) the lowest per-
sonal abuse of the President He accused Mr..
Tyler OF being man totally devoid Of truth and
honor and declared him to be utterly unworthy
of the association of GENTLEMEN!
The vulgar language used by Mr.. Stanly we
cannot consent to print. The mere mention of
the fact, that he used alb sive terms, will con-
vince any reader of their character, from the
well known character of the man.
Mr.. WELLER replied, and handled the gentle
man (2) with just severity for his impudenl at
tack upon the President.
He said that, although 1t was not his province
10 defend the President, not having been here
tofore politically associated with him, vet he
would say that he believed Mr.. Tyler to be a
man of as much truth honor and integrity, as
any one of those who have been and are still in
the habit of reviling and lraducing him.
MIR. MATHoT said in an under tone that Mr.
TYLER had lied, and that he could prove it.
Mr.. WELLER dared him to the proof, and of
fered him the floor.
MIR. MATHIor accepted the challenge.
Mr. WELLER. Remember, sir that if you do
not prove your assertion, the brand of infamy
shall rest upon your brow.
Mr.. MATHIor entered into the following mi
mute detail of conversation held between the
President and himself with other members of
Congress, in the Presidents private parlor, on
the Friday evening preceding the Monday on
which the first Bank Veto went up to the Sc
nate.
Substance of Mr.. MATHIoTs statement:
understanding" added Mr. NJ, ''that the Presi-
dent mad expressed great soctude to see some OF the
Wing members of Congress- pending the considera-
ton of the Bank bill then before him, and had been
surprised that they should have deserted him on such
an important occasion, he, MIR. Mathot, and others
of his party, sent message to the President, that
they would visit him on Friday evening" at O'Clock
which appointment accepted by MIR. Tyler Mr.
Mathiot here explained that the reason why the
Wing members of Congress had ceased to visit the
President was that they did not wish to embarrass
him any farther in his consideration OF the Bank bill
Upon Mr.. Mathiot and bis companions reaching
the Presidents House, Mr.. Tyler met them at the
door, and politely asked them to walk in and be
seated. They did so.
"The President commenced, by saying, that he
ect of their visit that he pleased to have 1t In
his power to interchange views and sentiments with
them upon the great question then pending before
him that he had brought himself to the conclusion,
that he could not sanction the bill which had been
sent him but that he was still open to a I &c eX-
change of opinion with the advocates of the mea-
sure that the ne x day, he contemplated visiting the
ship of the line Delaware, then lying off Annapolis,
in company with large number OF the members,
who he understood were going; and that he would
"a fl.ns NOT hist nfnU
the opinion he had expressed against the measure,
until the Monday following
g he President further said, that no one, IN the
meantime should approach him the subject but
that he would undsturbedly and calmly review the
whole ground and seek all the light which could be
shed upon it that he would take the bill with HIM TO
his chamber at night, and that on the Sabbath COM
ing, that he would seek IN the SANITARY OF God, at
the hands of the giver of all things, the power TO
discern that isdom and discretion which would ena-
BILE him to Judge correctly, and pursue course cal
culated end the promotion Of the best Interests
of the country.
(..He" exclaimed MIR. Mathot with sheer, I" to
call upon Heaven for assistance !'')
Ine President zen, as It III great distress, shed
tears and begged that it, Notwithstanding all this, he
sh ud be induced % act up 10 the impression then
resting his mind, through the considerations oi
conscience aud sense OF prolriety, the wing party
would not desert him and leave him, IN the midst o
bis trials to stand alone and unalded 10 conduct the
Government The attempt of MIR Mathiot to throw
rdicule this point his story, upon the honest ex-
presslons of the feelings that then acuated Mr. 1 y
ler deserving the respect OF every good man, we
will not stop to portray.I
After this ding of deceitful tears" (said Mr.
Mathiot) " the President alluded TO Mr. Ewing
BILL and wished to know why the Wing party could
not be satisfied with that He Mr.. Mathlo'
said that did not meet with the appreciation OF the
Wings.
THE President desired to know whether he (Mr
Ma,hiot) had studied the principles OF Mr. Ewing
bill The President then went ON to discuss 'ha
bill to deend it section by section stolrtng concil
stpeiy that Mr.. Tyler had himself studied the bill
had read IL carefully. And yet the President said
on the Monday following, to his MIR. Mathiots) col
league from Montgomery that he Mr.. Iyfsr) hoc
not read the bill Of Eping's, and did not know ,ehe
herhe could approve IL"
Mr.. Mathiot here desired to know whether
by proving, as he had done, that the Preslden
had on the Friday evening, read the bill o
Mr.. EwIng's, and that the President had, OF
the Monday following, stated TO his (Mr. Ms
colleague, that he (Mr. Tyler) had not red'
the same bill, he (Mr. MathioD had not con
victed the President of having uttered ri9t
and deliberate te2
Mr.. SNYDER rose at this point and asked MI
Mathiot whether he (Mr. ND did not tell hin
(Mr. Snyder that, on the Friday evening aite
he left the Presidents, the President sent hu
(Mr. NJ a message-that, since the departur
Of Mr. NJ, he (the PresidenD had read Ewing
bill, and found it so entirely different from wha
he imagined it to be, he could not approve 1t.
Mr. MArmor replied that he had no recollec
ton of telling Mr., Snyder, any such thing.
"Mr SNYDER then said do now assert, Mr.
