Sentiemen--I am aware that little or no impor-
lance Is attached by any body to the childish and
nonsensieal stuff that appears daily in the column,
OF the Madisonian; and I should never think Il worth
INC ume Il would occupy TO correct its misstatcmen,i
ana i"isehoods. were they not sometimes copied int
''ner papers, of more respeetabilily and extonsiv,
'''e1'a''on; and FOR this reason oaly l now under
take the Correction OF an assertion that has been &c
'erai times made, and is again repeated this morn
ing. u Is "that I had submitted NV charge, ny.in.
" MIR Tyler to a Wing caucus, and The propos;,ior
" TO impeaeh him received only ~ yo,e...
Who're or by whom ,bi, uro,.,;e., c.,..h.od
was fabricated, Know not; but, in the absence o
other evidence, Il rests exclusiyeiv on lie E1i,,,-
Ehc oltleeti IS pa'pablc enough. aud il has not failed
onu,e'y 20 accomplish ITS purpose, which was to
portion OF the letter writer's and Wing press nsa;ns,
The proposition as one disapptoved by the party
iby the way, l would here remark that when the
ietter writers, who, IN many instances, are worthy
and respectable men, are sent here by the people to
'esis'ato on so important n subject, Il will be time
enough Tor them 10 undertake TO control il.
30 tar from there being any foundation for this
story, | have not attended a Whig caucus for several
months, nor has one been held since these charges
were Ia wrting. to my knowledge. They
nave not been submitted for approval. OF disappro-
val L, any. portion OF the party, and arc now pub
hshed 10 give ON opportunity 20 the House and the
country TO consider them in all their bearings.
In my remarks In the House on Monday last
eSoneraied the Wing party from any participation
IN the proposed movement. IL is wholly and solely
my own, concluded on after mature and anxious re.
hecuon. from n solemn conviction OF duty 20 nv
constituents, to the Constitution. the country, AM
TO my own individual rights as an American citizen
resolved 10 resist the entertainments OF power in
every constitutional form. Let those submit who
choose, my disposition Is to maintain the rights Of
the People and OF the Legislative branch Of the Go.
vernment against the assumption Of Executive pow.
or.
l concluded 10 prefer those charges when the pro
per time arrived, with n due sense Of the responsi.
biiity, trusting in others to perform their duties nc.
corning 70 ,heir sense OF propriety.
As 10 the suiiciency OF cause for impeachment
as Tar as know, there is little difference OF opinion
AS TO the mere question OF expectancy, there may
be some homes, but timid men, who fear sympathy
may be created in behalf Of Mr. Tyler by the cry Of
persecution; but TO my mind il would bo quite as
reasonable and sensible to suffer n mad dog TO escape
that had run through the public streets biting every
living thing he met with, from an apprehension iha,
II might excite a sympathy for him 10y the cry o.
XIII HIM. MIR Tyler has prosecuted too many, anc
has been the cause Of too much suffering in ths
country, to talk about prosecuting him.
In order to correct this, one OF the many ~gratuit.
Gus and groundless assertions connected with m,
name on the part OF the Editor of the Madisoniar
and hrs correspondents, | must request the publica
ton OF this letter.
Respectfully,
JOHN NJ. Bolts,
