On the nigh, of the cd of Mach, Al, Mr.. Tyler
and myself slept in the same bed and talk ed more
than half the night on various subjects public and
private-among those subjects of public nature
was the establishment OF a national bank There
was strong reason then TO apprehend that there
would be tie in the Senate on that question which
we 10Th deprecated But said l. "Tyler il will
Afford you glorious opportunity to immor,aIize
your name if the establishment Of an institution
so indispensable to the prosperity Of the country
should be carried by your casting vote; it will
lay the nation under a weight OF obligation tina,
will never be forgotten" 70 which he replied
"That was a responsibility ne did not oovet-
that he would rather avoid it bu, il did come
to that, they should find that he was capable as a
national represfn NATIVE Of makRga sacrsiee, or
OF yielding his former OPINIONS expressed as rep
resentative Of Virginia"

what they had to expect from Mr. Tyler, If he
should have TO decide the question as the prest
ding officer of the Senate-and remarked 10
them; "You need not indulge any fears ON that
subject; Tyler viii do what is right, he wifi
vote for bank" Come" said Mr. Tyler, Cdont
