History-PoIitical and Personal-The
Aurora.
If any of my readers should deem it censura-
BILE in me that devote small space IN these
columns to a matter apparently personal as the
attacks of correspondent of the Aurora, beg
them to be assured that the matter has more i'm.
portant bearings. These attacks relate to chap
ter of the history of Tylerism not yet published,
and which have not deemed myself justified IN
even alludlng to until the Aurora man disturbed
it, because feel bound not to betray in any way
the confidence formerly reposed IN me by those to
whom | am now an adversary. But ! am a
good deal more than willing to tell the whole
story if the obligation to silence is removed and
if the Aurora man will only ask it and favor me
with his address, l will give him the names of
three Tyler men with whose permission ! will
publish full history Of the affair he is driving
at but evidently without understanding it. Un-
til this is given, | must speak of the matter In
such a way rs not to violate any confidence, and
therefore more vaguely than / could wish The
Aurora man, in his yesterdays letter, says:
"Ipromised, former letter. produce the evidence
against Mr. Greeley sustain the charges already prefer

him, which he may may not answer as he thinks pro-

" In December 1871, Mr.. Arnold, of Tennessee, made
furious attack the administration consequence OF
article ne found administration paper which he SAID
earnestly advocated union with the Democratic party
He read passages from the article alluded to- to
prove that the President occupied Democratic ground OF had
at all events advanced nine steps Of the t~etre which
separated him from that The article referred TO-

and il was attributed 10 Mr. Horace Greeley Before produc

fear them let be done without hard words
for you understand like that there will be
blows to gire, as well as blows TO take"
1t will be seen from the above that this most
supcrserviccable Tylerite instead OF bringing for
ward his proof of which he boasted that | was
late in Al hostile to Mr.. CLAY, &c. and willing
TO support JOHN TYLER for his present term and
in future" now changes the issue altogether, and
calls on me to furnish the evidence to sustain or
euash even his amended Indictment, But never
mind-any way he shall be accommodated:
l. ! ,cas the correspondent of the Madisonian
before the Tyler apostacy and for some time after
the Bank Vetoes-not SO late as Dec. lo4l. But
in that correspondence | nerer justified ony of
John Tylcr's Vetoes, or any act OF his IN collision
~ tl,o IN lut the
contrary, spoke of them as shrouding our City
In gloom and making our hearts heavy. ot
course ] speak here from recollection.
2. After the two Vetoes when a Bank before
1S45 was out of the question, | urged the Wings
to adopt the Exchequcr project, modify it to their
liking, and establishit. This did in every way
through The Tribune probably in my letters to the
Madisonian, and in private conversation. l Still
believe that their true policy, without regard
to the ultimate loathsomeness of Tylerlsm. |
urged it upon Members Of Congress IN December
last when | regarded and spoke of the Tyler
dynasty Just as now do. OF course, in urging
the adoption of this project, must have met and
combated the objections of those who believed
that nothing but a National Bank, with the name
Of Bank, would restore sound and uniform
National Currency. | believed that the Ex-
chequer moulded by Wing Congress- would
have been made to answer most OF the purposes
of National Bank, while avoiding some of the
popular objections to such corporation
I visited Washington, per invitation, in Decem-
Der, lS4i, upon assurances that John Tyler and
his advisers were disposed to return to the Wing
party, and that could be of service in bringing
about complete reconciliation between the Ad.
mnis,ra,ion and the Wings in Congress and in
the Country. lnever proposed to connect my
self with the cause of the Administration, but
upon the understanding that II should be heartily
and faithfully WRIG Administration. dlo
write an article containing something abou;
nine steps ont Of twelve, referring directly and
solely to the desired reconciliation between Mr.
Tyler and the Wings. | remember nothing OF
the use made of that article by Mr.. Arnold after.
wards, and of course am not responsible for that
use. And finally, | declined utterly and abso,
lutely, to connect myself with the cause OF the
Administration the moment | became satisfied
as did during tha, visit, that the Chfef of the
Government did not desire reconciliation, upon
the basis of sustaining Wing principles and Wing
measures, with the party he had so deeply wronged
but was treacherously coquetrng with Loco
Focoism, and fooled with the idea of a reelection
Nov, Dir. Correspondent OF the Aurora you
have your questions answered, and something
more than you bargaincd for You cannot ask
me TO tell both sides of the story any farther
Just procure me liberty of your friends to publish

&c. and trot out your evidence that was at any
time In favor OF reelection of John Tyler, blameo
