IMPORTANT LETTER.

called TO the following letter, which appeafeo III
that stsunch Democratic paper, The Dos'on
Morning Post, on Friday last Whoever the
writer may be, he seems to have spoken IKE
one who knew the facts TO which he alludes'
Il will be seen BY the perusal OF the ietler lna'
the grand principle SO stoudy advocated oy RE
sidept Tyler-fhaf no agencies Of me ffscdi
Baak should be established ia any State wifh-
oas he consent Of the State Legislature
was persisted in by him to the last we would
again call upon Mr.. Stuart TO publish, II he
have such, the original bill he submitted to the
President; or. if be does not wish TO pursue
that course, 10 show how this writer's slate
ments differ from the facts he says he has In his
possession.
Knowing Mr.. Stuart TO be gentleman, we
are inclined to think he has been mistaken IN
the inference he has drawn from the, probably,
hasty perusa of the paper he took to the Presi-
dent, and we consequently have right TO ex-
pect he will submit 10 the public the bill referred
TO- az altered by the President, in order that JUS
,ice should be done, though late, TO much mis-
represented individual.
We trust, too, Mr.. Stuart will think it due
his own honor To correcr amp ""'--rf'> Hen s'o"

Correspondence of the Boston Post
WAsHNeroS, Nov. /, 1912.
The "Whigs,n through few of their less scrupu-
lois organs, have been endeayoring for twelve
months past TO produce impression upon the coun-
try Of the inconsistency the yacating disposition of
the Pre-, ident in relation To his conduct when the
.onl Hapk IN hey adj
the whole story 10 themselves, 10 tell as would best
suit their purposes, and make most capital for
their
II is now high time the country should be disabused
Of any errors iasehood may have engendered, and
that justice be done in the premises, whoever has
most 10 rejoice al or fear the sure If slow, in
huence Of truth.
IL will be necessary for me- in calculation Of the
subject have undertaken, TO make the following
tract from the proceedings of the Senate of the Uni
ted States at the extra session OF lo4l
Tuesday, July 6, Is4l.-The Senate resumed,
as in Committee of the Whole, the consideration of
the bill Is 81 to incorporate the subscribers TO the
Fiscal Bank of the United States, together with
the amendment proposed by MIR. Rives, the first
instant
On motion by MIR. Bayard to amend the proposed
amendment by striking out all after line $50, of the
18th section, TO the word proper, in line POI, in the
same section and in lieu thereof insert
10th. II shall be lawful for the said corporation
| persons, or TO employ any bank banks at any
| place places they may deem proper, TO perform
the duties hereinafter required OF the said corpora
| ton the fiscal agent Of the Government, and to
manage and transact the business of the said corpora
ton other than the ordinary business of discounting
promissory notes. That is TO say, the said corpora
lion shall have the right, at such agencies to receive
deposi,es to deal trade in bills Of exchange gold
or silver coins bullion goods, or lands purchased
on execution, taken bona fde in payment for
debts, or goods which shall be the proceeds Of its
lands, and TO circulate its notes find moreover, IL
shall be iacfd for the said board Of directors convert
such agencies into offices Of discount and depose unless
the Legislature Of any particular STATE, in uhich such
agency shall be established shall al lis session after
such agency established express its dissent thereto
Such is the record il stands upon the pages Of
the journal of the Senate and for the narration
| Of little con!emporaneous history
| Alexander II. III. Stuart, Of Virginia, brought to
| the President copy of Mr., Bayards amendment
and urged his sanction Of it. The President was
of course, opposed TO II but TO alay, far he
honestly could the unnatural excitement a few des
perate parlisans had created, with no mistaken pur
pose, he adopted certain portion, after certain
| sures and interlineations-my account Of which
defy Mr. Stuart or MIR. Anybody, honorable other
| wise, to contradict
The section of the extract have taken from Mr.
| Bayard's proposition, and which have written in
italics, tcas struck OUT by the President, by drawing
| across il in his hand, by another's at his
quest, such marks Of the pen always Indicate the
| intention 10 erase or reject
| And on this side margin of the bill as presented to
him, in the handwriting of the President Of TIE Uni
ted States with pencil, the following words: ''in
case such agencies forbidden by The lars Of the State
BY note IN pencil II appears that these words writ
ten by the President were intended 10 come in after
the word {" orr and before the words " to employ
any bank or banks" in the third line, Us have writ
ten them, of the proposed amendment and the place
of whose insertion have indicated by the customary
mark OF omission
And thus it will be seen the grand principle con-
tended for so long and ardenty by the President
and by State Rights throughout the country was
to the last insisted upon by him and far from any
exhibition of inconsistency in his views, any vac-
ation in his conduct, the President was, during the
whole struggle decided in opinion, unwavering in
action.
And now Mr.. Alexander ii. H. Stuart-or by
whatever arrangement of alphabetical signs you
choose to be desiguated-will you come out Of the
mysterious obscurity in which you have been pleased
TO conceal YOURSELF and make known to an inquisi-
tive and truth-seeking people your views Of this
transaction views which your accidental inerposi-
ton, rather than station talents, have rendered of
some Importance Is your modesiy so inyincibe
that it shrinks at the discovery Of truth II SO,
may attribute to your late political associations the
extreme and rather suspicious didence Of your con-
duct. Speak out MIR. Stuart, like a man, for re-
member, you were gentleman before you were
Whig.n
And, Democrats Of the Old Bay State, will YOU
not be melted to additional ardor In furtherance of
the holy results you now labor 10 produce since YOU
are acquainted with another revelation Of the pro
ligacy the unbushing impudence, the heartless de-
pravity Of the party that opposes you-who,e grand
object you well know is the ayowed establishment of
an institution surpassed in power by depth of wicked
ness alone Cali TO mind the late exhibition OF the
monsrous influence and base corruption OF such
chartered lbertinen ably made by the Secretary
at War-and charged home upon the advocates Of des-
potc monopolies aud irresponsible powers.
