Ma a,,or,;o, hos been called TO the circumstance
,b,, Some papers have given currency 10 the latest,
most improved enlarged, and illustrated EDITION OF me
base abricalions of this notorious individual he is
represented as having charged the President publicly in
his late elcc,oneering campaign, as having SAID 10 MN
on the third day Of the extra SESSION.
That he meant TO be a candidate, not only for four,
but for cinht years from the 4th March DO, thus ma
king the whole term Of his service twelve years. and
then
That the President had offered him any office in his
gift, provided he (Botls) would sustain him in his
prations; and then
That he, John Minor Bolts, from this time ceased 10
visit the President
So far the first specification is concerned, ace are
auth0r-td 10 say, that at the time at which this in
vented conversation of John Minor Bolts said by him
TO have occurred, Me President had intention Of
icing candidae for the Prtsidency in lS44 The Pre-
sdent was only prevented from introducing annun
cation 10 this effect, in his Inaugural Address, by con-
sderallons Of grea, public weight and would have made
1t IN his second Veto message, his then Cabinet Ind
not urgently opposed IL, upon the question being
emny submitted 10 them
So Tar the second specification is concerned, ace
are authorized 10 sag, that The President made
10 MIR. John Minor Bolts any offer OF any Office of any
sort, or any character, at any time at any place. for
any purpose object whatever. And,
ldT rs tue lNlu concerned, ace 0Te
authorized TO say, that far from Mr.. John Minor
Bolts having ceased 10 visit the President from and of
ter the third day OF the extra session, he repeatedly
called at the White House. until he pursued
which precluded the President from having any further
communication with him. That transaction this:
During the tendency before the Senate OF Mr.. Clays
Bank bill, it was ascertaned tia. Messrs Nlerrlck,
Preston, Rves, and Archer, would not sustain IL with
out the insertion of such dificatlon as would re-
conce IT with the constitutional scruples Of the Pre-
sden and with their opposition it stood in minority
At this juncture Of affairs, MIR. John Minor Bolts
called upon the President with q paper purportng TO
be such amendment, which he SAID had been drawn
up by himself and thought would remove all difficulties
upon the subject Of Bank. After exacting from Mr..
John Minor Bolts the positive assurance that if the
amendment did not meet his appreciation, it should be
destroyed and heard OF, the President took
it and examined it, and nstantaneously rejected il,
with the emphatic declaration, that he would inevitably
veto any bill containing such clause. Whereupon,
Mr. John Minor Bolts reiterated his promise to destroy
it, and retired. The President thought no more of the
matter until few days afterwards when the Wing
press filled with lauda,ions Of Mr. Bolts for having
fallen upon this very cxpedent; and MIR Clay suhse
Gueny offered it in the Senate Chamber, substantially,
II rot literally, amendment 10 his ball The
ire achery in the whole conduct Of MIR. John NJ. Bolts,
became apparent that the President afterwards
refused TO bold any intercourse with him either by
word or in writing.
These charges Of Mr. Bolts remind Of one which
he made against the President at early period of the
contest between Mr.. Tyler and the ultra Wings. The
Hon. gentleman q then stated that, while Mr.. Tyler
at Browns Hotel, acting as President of the Sc
nate shortly after the Inauguration OF General larson
he waited upon Mr. Tyler ut his rooms, in company
with another gentleman, and Mr.. Tyler did then and
there them declare himself in favor of Bank OF the
U. S We have never, by authority denied this charge
but authorized TO say, that Dir. Bolts
IN making such declaration, affirmed what was false
in every particular.
Is i, not little strange, that any Democratic paper
should give currency 10 the falsehoods of the most un
compromising Federast and inscriptions factonist
in the land A man who denounced, upon the floor
Of Congress- the author Of the Declaration of lndepen
dence, and then James Madison the simple scat s.
paw" Of Thomas Jefferson, and used by him for his
selfish and designing purpose We candidly confess
that should never have condescended TO have given
ourselves this trouble concerning the always exagger
ated and other cont adctory public remarks of Mr. John
Minor Bolts, but for The fact that others should have
apparently countenanced them by giving them clrcu-
laton We that all such have done SO will
publish this statement.
Although the Enquirer was by no means one Of the
Democratic journals which aided in giving circulation
TO the statement of Mr. Bolts, yet We would be exceed
ingy obliged that paper if it would lay this contra
dction before the people Of Virginia.
