immortal RETIRED"
In the first place MIR. Bolts Substantially as
serls throughout his whole production, that the
President prepared the editorial articles when
appeared in our columns in reply TO has letter oi
May 10Th last
The fac. is, that the Pre- ident was al bis
lam in Virginia when they were prepared ana
that he never wrote one word Of them or saw
one word of them until they were published IN
our paper.
Therefore, the asserto is false.
In the second place, Mr.. Bolts asserts that the
President misquoles the speech delivered oy
him in the House Of Representatives on the
10Th September 1871, and substitutes for II Ian
guage of his own
The fact is, that the President did not VINE
the articles TO which we have alluded, and con
sequenlly did not mi quote his language
Hence, the assertion is false.
In the third place, in addition 10 the assertion
Just quoted, he endeavors 10 make II appear 'ha'
he did not deny having written the President
friendly ,tler about The time he addressed the
Coffee House letter.
The fact is, that in the House of Rrpresen-
lalves on the 10th September IN reference 10
this very matter, he made use OF the blowing
language, viz at had been said that at me
same time he had written that letter. Che Col
fee House letter. I" he had addressed another
TO the President in terms of the warRsl alice
ton and Friendship. II was due TO himself TO
say. tho, this assertion come from whence II
might, uds an absolute talsehood.n
The fact is moreover, in relation to this point
that Mr.. Bolts after charging upon our columns
misquoIation, misrepresents his own language,
for he substitutes son The same day" for sat
The same time" as it stands in his speech re-
ported in the National lntelligencer Of The 10th
September, to which we refer the realer. And
why did the now ex.member make thi, charged
Because he was attacked in the Madionian for
having made so false declaration as he him
self states, and he found it necessav TO alter
his speech and publish it as altered on the 23d
| September. Let any man compare tie two,
that of September 10Th and that OF September
23d, and he will find in The latter much added
which he did not say on the 10Th, ami much
suppressed which he did say. He hobhed out
of the difficulty Of the latter by changing rime"
into "ddy,n and hoP.d TO dupe the public, by
the trick.
In these two respects then, Mr.. Bolts shame
fully prevaricates.
In the fourth place Mr.. Bolts asserts, that the
fact which we stated in reply to his letter Of the
10Th May last, and in answer to the charge
which he made against the President for de-
feating Mr. Randolph for the Senate is San
unmihgdted tdisehood."
The fact is, in his speech Of Sepiembe 10th,
lS4l, he says We give his xacl words)
'Let not gentlemen roll up the whites OF Their eyes
at the accusation Of perfidy. He could tell gentle
men who happened not 10 be familiar with President

that gentleman and proved upon him. In 1877 he

He here distinctly declares that she leaS 10

Mr.. T'ylel's treason" so did not say much in
the iody Of complaint. The inference is plain
aud palpable, and in this respect he has bccn
guilty of the 'Hnmitigated tdisehood."
In the fifth place, he endeavors TO make it APP
pear that he had not attacked the President
about Woofoks nomination, by asking very
innOcenlly, "when did assail Mr.. Tyler for
his acceptance of that nomination ~ Look,
sir, TO the National Intelligencer of the 10th
September, lsil, and you will find there this
language Of yours

Call you not this an atack2 And in this
respect, does it not prove upon the Quibbier the
must shameful prevaricatioa
In the sixth place, Mr.. Bolts says that SHE
merit thing which appears in this pamphlet
worthy Of notice, Is letter from Duff Green (;
for DO not deem it incumbent on me, nor have
any inclination TO interfere with the Cabinet
squdbbie 10 uhich The intermediate portion Of
the defence reittes."
The fact Is, that the very facts and the only facts,
which lay intermodiately between Woolfolks
letter and Green's letter, are the proofs of the
talsity Of three infamous charges which Mr..
Bolts had made against the President No
doubt the gentleman did not consider them
worthy Of notice, and deemed i much better to
skuik ON our proofs Of his depravity, than to
deny what was so palpable and impossible to be
misunderstood or misrepresentcd.
The first is, that the compromise clause in
serted in Mir. Claws bill. was inserted for "fhc
