MORE OF THE RoMANcE-CAPTATN TYLER ON
JOHN MINOR Boris The publication OF the cele-
brated LETTER of John Bolts, giving certain scenes
in the " Romance of Tyerism," which took place
AZ ,he White House and Browns Hotel, Washing
ton, in Isil, created great sensation and great
laugh in this neighborhood. The mouth Of every
politician, wing or locoioco, is yet stretched from
ear 10 ear Even the little dogs about the Park
Fountain grinned with pure enjoyment at the nch
descriptions, which put Dickens or Walter Scott TO
the blush.
We are very sorry, however, 10 find in the =" Ma
dsonian''several additional statements which some
what impair the credibiliy Of ohm Bolts sketches
notwithstanding his affidavit, price one shilling
which was affixed 10 the letter. John Jones puts
forth the following articles on the other side:-
from the Madsonian.]
SLEEPING With The VIoE PREsipENT-We are told Mr..
Bolts oath that he slept in the same bed with Mr.
Tyler the night before the inauguration of General Har
rson and they talked till after midnight This may
be true Every nook and corner in the city was cram.
med that time Every bed contained at less, two sleep
Strangers met from all quarters Under these Cir
cunstances may be that Mr. Tyler permitted MIR.
Bolts share his bed Mr. Bolts being Vgnisn But
than probai that all the revelations said
by MIR. Bolts to have heen made TO HIM by Mr.. Tyler,
the mere phantasms OF a troubled branl Had net
Mr., bots been ,akiDg VIM a9ips .e Jay n1 ne not
have the headache at night; Napy man Will ponder
the things and heard in dream, till at length
he viii swear they realities We have seen men
from their beds with eyes wide staring who
they surrounded with devils, notwithstanding the
Doctors assertions to the contrary
He (Mr. Botts is represented as having charged the
President publicly in his late electoreering campaign
having said to him the third day Of the extra session
That he meant be candidate not only for four but
for eight years from the 4th Msrch AS thus making
the whole term OF his service twelve years ard then
That the President had offered him any office in his
Gf provided he Botts) would sustain him in his aspira
tious and tl4en
That he, John Minor Bolts, from this time ceased to
yisitthe President.
SO far as the first specification concerned
thorized TO say that at the time at which this invented
conversation OF Mr. John Minor Bolts said by him
have occurred the President had intention OF being
candidate for the Presidency ia 1914 The President
only prevented from introducing annunciaton to this
effect in his Inaugural Address, by considerations OF
great public weight and would have made in his Sc
cond Veto message, if his then Cabinet had urgently
opposed it, upon the question being solemny submitted
them,
so far the second specification is concerned
authorized say that the President made to Mr.
John Minor Bolts any offer of any office, OF any Sort
of character 1T time or at any place. for any pur
pose object whatever. And,
So far IS the third specification is concerned.
authorized TO say that far from Mr. John Minor Bolts
having ceased visit the President from and after the
third day of the extra session. he repeatedly called at the
White House until be pursued course which precuded
the President from having any further communication
with him That transaction this: During the PEN
dency before the senste of MIR. Clay's Bank bill il
ascertained that Messrs. Merrlck Preston, Rives
and Archer ID without the insertion OF
such modification would reconcile it with the consti
tuoDa scruples Of the President and with opposi-
ton stood minority. At this Juncture of affairs Mr.
John Minor Bolts called upon the President with paper
purportng be such an amendment, which he said had
been drawn by himself and thought would all
difficulties upon The subject off bank.
After ciing from Mr. John Minor Bolts the positive
that II the amendment did not meet his appro
baton, should be destroyed and heard Of,
the resident took and examined IT, and simultaneously
rejected it, with the emphatic declaration that he would
inevitably veto any bill containing such clause where
Upou Mr. John Minor Bots reiterated his promise to des
troy aud retired. Tn. President thought OF the
matter until tev days afterwards when the whs press
6ed with sudstions OF MIR. Bolts for having fallen
fered il in the Senate Chamber substantially not liter
ally amendment 10 his bill The treachery in the
whole conduct of Mr. John Minor Bolts became So appa
that the President afterwards refused TO hold In
tercourse with him either by word or in writing
These charge of Mr. Bolts remind of which he
made against the President at early period OF the con
test between Mr. Tyler and the ultra wings. The hon
orsble gentleman then stated that, while Mr. Tyler was
Browns Hotel acting President of the Senate short
y after the Inauguration OF General Harrison he waited
upon Mr. Tyler at his rooms in company with another
clare himself Of Bank of the United States We
have never by authority denied this charge beforebut
we are now authorized TO say that Mr. Bolts in making
such declaration affirmed what false Ill par
toular.
BY these authorised contradictions, 1t would ap-
pear, that in spite of the affidavit, John Bolts has
been drawing little on his Imagination for the facts.
This is however, very natural IN a OF genius.
The foundation of the Romance" is fact-the
rest is ornaments furnished by John Bolts. This is
the way with all men of original genius, from Ho-
mer down TO John Bolts
But although Jehn Jones, who is now owned by
Captain Tyler, hook and line, cohtradics John
Botis VINO happens TO be the property of Mr.. Clay,
IN several particulars, such those about the bank,
the public lands the three termsyet most material
and important admissions made, which establish
the " democracie' of Captain Tyler beyond rea-
sonable doubt
First, it is admitted that Captain Tyler and John
Bolts talked, swore, and slept in the same bed,
under the very same blanket, In Browns Hotel, in
Washington, on the 81 of March, 1s4l. John
Jones dare not deny this most important fact-s
fact which establishes the equal rights principles anc
democracie" Of Captain Tyler beyond question
This is precisely the same way in which the "youn,
democrace" sleep together in certain places befor
an eection-it is called COLONIZATION in New Y ork
but it has not yet been christened in Washington
We have also every reason TO believe that this de
mocratic practice in Captain Tyler sharing his
bed with John Bolts, has given as terrible ofienc
10 the wings as it will be approved by the ocofocos
Captain Tyler now stands high in the affections O
the latter.
The next point of importance is the truth or false
hood Of the ornaments and trimmings of the dia
logue, otherwise called "proiane swearing whic
interlsrds the conversation In relation this point
John Tones does not say word, and therefore doe
not deny il. The swearing is, therefore, virtual
admitted, and constitutes another feature in tn
character of Captain Tyler, thar assmilates him Il
the locoiocos about Tsmmany Hall or the Pewte
Mug, particularly before an election.
j will be observed, therefore, that these remarka
bic disclosures establish on the very best wing au
thoriiy, under the sanction of an oath, price on,
shilling, the identity in the principles, habits, man
ners, language, even down to the doings in the
very bed room, between Captain TYLER and tn,
young democracie." We saynothing about III,
proprety, or taste, or motives Of John Bolts II
making such disclosures. According to the fines
Of things or the conventional rule among gentlemen
il would really appear that Bolts had been induce
