sation, which the Madisonian declined n
 suppose by authority) to give; and which l was referred to in the late canvass only nt
 it's close, after it had been mentioned repeat
 edly by my competitor, somewhat in spir.
 it of rebuke, thatI had fallen out and quar.
 reled with men in power, a charge from
 which entirely exoRerate him. because it
 became proper in my own vindication, to shew that if had quarreled with men in po,Usr, it was because had found men in power SO proAigate and corrupt, and un- worthy of my confidence or the support of 1 the people, and at the same time to show that I could have no personal or selfish oh. iect in quarreiing with patronage, honor, emolument and reward, all of which attach to men in power, and to show that if did quarrel with men in power. it was because ' preferred sacrifice of my personal ad> vancement to surrender of my representa- tive duty and fidelity.
 might also here advert to several passa- ges to be found in my speech on the veto delivered in the House of Representatives at the extra session of le4l, m which allu~ sion is made to this conversation, as fur. nishing me with knowledge of his treach. cry. and design to run for another term--A and in my letter "To the public," dated August 2lst, l64l, in explanation of the
 
 SO made to it. For example: : after enume. rating many of Mr. Tyler's acts, to show how far he had committed himself to WhiG policy" For Mr. Tyler, who had done alt this, to be the first man to throw himself in the path of his friends, and make himself stumbling block, and an obstacle to the hopes, the entreaties, the demands of ma. tion's happiness and veal, for Ms rvrposs of promoting his oa0n personal popularity did bs. sray degree ef perfdy. thsf .6lleS ns With in.- dignotion and disgust"
 elf Mr. Tyler chooses to call for the req. sons that brought me to the conclusion that thss soos Ms object, he can have them. I am not now at liberty to state them all.''
 And again, ! remark in that letter, eff high gtsciGl station had been uppermost in my m!nd; 4 nigM hsve betrayed my porty and ny friends ard giusn in Nsy adhesion io Mr. TSleyIs recollection and sustainsd kis in h;s dessri;on. .,S Who can honestly doubt that referred at. that time to this very conversation And may not the question be asked, with some propriety, if there was no foundation for such remarks, why the official organ was. not then, as now, authorized to pronounce it false? -
 But single extract from speech deliv.. cred by Nr. Tyler in 1884. on the removal of the deposites, may serve to open the eyes of some to the principle and motive that ac1 tuates the man in his assault upon me in speaking of the abuse of power, on the part. of the Executive, and the errors of an ad- ministra,ion. he says- .-. .r ITO render inaudible the voices of those who call into question his conduct, and complain of violated law, they are assailed in their turn; aad when argument fails. the war of appellatives bo- gins. They ara called alarmis,s and agita.. tors, and arc charged with being actnaie6 by unholy motives. These expedients but too often succeed, and errors in the admin. istration Of affairs come to be ratified, which but frequently destroy the very foundations of free Government"
 And here he carries out the principl0 himself-to render inaudible my voice for complaining of his conduct and violated law, he assails me in turn, and when argu.. ment fails him. he begins the war Of appel. latives---but for once at least the expedient administration be ratified-for question if his word would be taken on oath by any intelligent grand jury in his native state. On the same day, and during the same conversation. was further informed of Mir. Tyler's views In reference to Mir. Clay aN his successor, by an invitation to unite with him in making Mr. Webster the "ssrong nssm of Ehs South," for the Presidency-"H He is the man." said he. e for US. and if you will unite with me, wo can make him the popu. lar man with all OUT southern people to which replied that should be glad to see many of the prejudices then exlsting in the southern country against Mr. Webster removed, and should like to sec him Presi. dent, but o1 in good time. Mir. Tyler his time has not yet come-there is ono before him with far higher and stronger claims on the south and the whole couniry-and Mr. Webster must wait his time. - This part of our conversation do not think even Q this day mentioned to Mr.. Clay. though I may have done it if have, it was not till after an irreparable breach had been made between them from other causes-but 1t will serve to show that at an early period he had fixed in his mind . de- has since attempted to ascribe to subsequent causes. growing out of what he called Mr. Clay'a attempt at dictation to him, when Mr. Clay and the whole Whig parsy in Congress yielded to him, what ! trust will never again be yielded to any officer in the Executive chair.
 The Madisonian is right in one particus lar wherO he says did not cease to visit Mr. Tyler after this interview. nor did ev. CT say otherwise. my expression in tho disa cussiOn referred to was that never br0ks bread with him after that, and might have added that was never asked for Mr. Ty. ler had found on that day that teas Hoe made of penetrable stuff and did nos suit his purposes but ! did cUniintie to visie him. and did all in my power to keep him in the path of Pectitud6 and honor, and doubt not he has oflen since; in his monaenin
