When John G Spencer visited this city
last fall, and before he went on to Ro
chester 10 proclaim his own political in
fanny, be offered my Office (unasked for
to Mr.. WassOn. On his return TO the
city Of New York, he again met ME- Was
son and renewed the OffeI; letters, too
(ranked by him, TO the latter, have pass
ed through the Albany post Office.
Itwas my intention to treat Mr. Spen'
Ger with the utmost severity, but the
public will not be edited by such course.
His insolent and arbitrary couduct will
soon bring him to his own level, and they
will be as happy TO get rid of him atWash-
ingtOn, as they were rejOiced in the pub
lie Offices Of this city.
At q proper time | will show, without
fear of Capitalization, that Mr.. Tyler.
when he first arrived at Washington to
assume the reins Of Government, was
decidedly andunequiUOcGIl in favor Ofthe
charter Of a United States Bank, the
proofs Of which are in my hands; state
ment ofthe remarks Of Mr.. Tyler on that
subject was drawn upbya gentleman now
abroad. It was left with me to be used
to defend myself, If assailed as have
been by the acting President. But it was
not to be made public on any other Occa.
sion. in support of that statement my
oath will be affixed.
shall farther show who nominated him
at Harrisburg.
