In the account, which Mr.. Bolts was lately
forced to make n vindication.of his own posi-
ton, in relation to conversation held with
AIr. Tyler in regard to the course which he
should feel himself bound to pursue as VICE
President ifthe question OF chartering Y. =
Bank, should devoIve upon him, Mr..W harson
among others was referred TO as able to con.
firm the statement, which MFR. Bolts published
of that conversation. MIR. Wharton Is gen.
tleman of high charter and his evidence IN re-
lation to this matter can not be controverted'
From the Wheeling Times.
"Mr Whareon-Having read Mr.. botts
letter to the Richmond Wing, in reply 10 the
infamous attack upon him by the Madso o,, ~
and perceiving that he there calls upon you 70

that. as President of the senate, he should
were the Senate equally diulded, upon tnr
question of U. s. Bank, give his casting vote
in favor of such charter. have noticed WIN
some surprise your silence for several days up
on the subject. have, with many others OF
YOUR readers, desire to know whether Mr.
Bolts or the Madisonan is right upon that
point. Come, out with it, andIet US know
ZINGARO'
NV attention was called, some days ago, 10
that subject, as, on hasty scanning OF the ar
tlcle, it had escaped my attention. l, however
did not feel justified, as the conversation look
place before gentlemen who, tor aught knew,
were all on & rnls of personal in,lmacy with Mr.
Tyler, and then at his room by genera! invita-
ton, in complying with the call of Mr.. b. espe-
ciav as no important object to the public
could be gained by it. But several gentle
men here, who have read the article from the
pen of Mr.. Bolts, have expressed an interest
in the matter, it may not be improper to state.
though | still regard the remark more In the
light of private converse ion, than public
expression of opinion, that early IN March,
lS4I. was present with some other gentle
men, in Mr. Tyler's room, when discussion Of
the probability of the passage of a Bank char
ter took place, during which the opinion pre-
vailed that, upon that question, the Senate
would be equally divided. Mr.. Tyler was
askeG whether he would, in the event, give his
casting vote for or against the charter. He
replied, as near as can recollect-s'In that
event, sir, should give my vote regardless of
opinions, expressed and acted upon, when 1
was the Representative of Virginia, in favor of
the Charter. When was Representative
of Virginia acted in accordance with what
believed to be the wishes of my constituents !:
[ am now the Representative of the whole
Union, and believing that large majority of
the People at the last election. expressed
themselves in favor of u. s. Bank, shall if
called upon, pote for Charter"
tt csc we presume are not precisely his
words; but the tenor is the same. 1t is re-
mark we could not mistake or forget, mas
much, is the frankness and decision there man.
Tested, induced Lac to feel confident that the
vetoes OF the extra session were on account OF
some supposed defects in the details, and were
not grounded upon opposition 10 such an in
stitution."
