We copy letter from the pen of General Jack
SON. 1t was addressed by him, in reply, to Judge
Wilkins who invited him to dine on the eighth of Jan

doctrines. Our readers may be curious to know the
temper of the Is Old Lon,n while withdrawn from
the hustle and excitement of political life and hence
we give the letter;

CONGRESS-.

On Wednesday, Mr.. Warren, of Georgia, of
tered resolution, which was carried, givins
,he use of the Representative Hall TO the Con
oressional Temperance Society on the 25th o.
this month.
Mr.. Ward, Of New York, then moved
reconsideration OF the vote taken the previou,
day, on the District bank BILL and Mr.. Will
hams, of North Carolina, moved TO lay the ques
lion of reconsideration on the table. Thes,
motions were accompanied by much confused
and conversational debate finally, that of Mr.
Williams was put, the yeas and nays were or
dered, and 90 voted in the affirmative and SO in
the negative
Mr.. Fillmore reported bill for organizing
the marine corps.
The orders Of the day were then called up
being the pending question Of the report from
the Committee on the Expenditures of the
House OF Representatives, with its concoml-
tants. Mr. Summers made a speech in expla-
nation Of the grounds which induced the com
mltee TO recommend diminuton Of the mum.
Der of the clerks Of the House. He was fol
lowed bv Messrs. Gordon, Morgan, and Smith,
of Virginia. The last INDICATED the views Of
the committee, and strenuously advocated tho
rough reform, and its commencement in the
House. Mr.. Bovine obtained the floor, and the
morning hour being near its close, he gave way
TO Mr.. Fillmore who moved to go into Com,
mittee of the Whole on the state Of the Union
Mr.. Briggs was called TO the chair, and Mr.
McKeon obtained the floor He moved to strike
out the enacting clause for the purpose of can
yassng the general merits OF the bill. His mo-
ton was pronounced to be out Of order-the
chairman deciding that the motion 10 strike out
the enacting clause was not in order in the
Committee of the Whole This was the mean
ing attached TO the decision; but, amid the ma
ny fnewrought distinctions so frequently made
in interpreting the rules of the House, the pre-
the chairman might be intended to bear, may
possibly have been mistaken
The appeal, however, was taken from the de-
cSion and long debate ensued in which ma
nv members participated. The discussion, how
ever, being on mere question Of interpreting
the rules of the House, must be uninteresting
10 the general reader. After protracted dis
cnssion, the disputed point was put to the vote,
and the decision of the Chair sustained.
In the Senate, in addition TO the passage OF
several resolutions and the engrossment Of a
number of bills for third reading, debate
took place with reference to claims upon

See Mr.. Tyler's remarks on submitting certain
resolutions adopted by the people of Shenandoah
county Virginia, vol 9, page $50, Congressional De
bates.
Thus ii will appear manifest that in 1884 about
four years before his nomination the Vice Presi
dent, which took place in 1889, he ayowed himself
hostile to National Bank, and proves that lle has
always maintained those principles.
In October 1910, number OF gentlemen IRON

views OF MIR Tyler upon the subject of a Bank, adj

TO this letter, and referred them to his speech II

to assert that henceforward man, who properly es
Inmates the value of his character for truth and no

character, will risk his reputation in sustaining such
falsehoods respecting Mr. Tyers course in regard tc
the Bank bills vetoed by him.
