Bolts AND TYLER.

BOLTS AND TYLER.
From the moment John Tyler exposed his
cloven foot by his veto of the bank bill, we
have been satisfied of his apostacy from the
wing party, his utter recklessness of the in
terests of the country, and his puerile and
hopeless aspirations for continuance in
power. But IN his enGeavours to compass
his ambitious projects, we never drempt of
the low depths offolIy and political libertine-
ism to which he would sink himself. In re-
ply to an article recently published in the
Madisonan upon the authority of John Tyler
attacking Mr.. Bolts, that gentlemen relates,
and has sworn to the conversations subioin.
ed, and so entirely do they correspond to the
whole tenor of the course of John Tyler
since his accession to the chief magistracy,
that no doubt oftheir truth can be entertain
ed by those who have watched him. No
sooner did he find himself welding the pres
idential sceptre than he was most inconti-
nently seized with lust of power, and COM
menced his Vaccinations for the succession;
and such has been his policy, that the pub
lie are left in doubt which m ost to condemn,
tho imbecility of his head, or the waywa rd-
ness of his heart. Especially in removals
and appointments to office has he manifested
most lamentable disregard to the public
good, and want of tact to distinguish friends
from foes which must prove fatal to all his
hopes from the appliances of patronage. In
Vermont certainly in this respect we ween
he has lost more than he has gained, as we
entertain serious doubt whether with all his
official pelf he has created sincere living
Tyler man in the state from the ranks of Ell
Their party. The political machinery of the
government does not work well in the hands
of man whose popularity is at so low an
ebb as that of John Tyler. Had he not ar
rived to the presidency by accident, his ele-
walton would have been truly humIliating
reflection upon the patriotism and intelli-
gence of the people CT the union.
After some PREDATORY remarks, principally
of the nature above referred TO, Mr.. Bolts
continues -
1t was on Wednesday, the third day of
the extra session of Congress, that visited
Mr.. TYLER on business that had been inirust
ed to nv charge by some OF my constituents,
when the following conversation took place,
the substance of which he now so emphati.
coly denies and as mean to affix my af.
fdavit 10 it, shall give entirely and in full,
rerbatim and fterdtin, as nearly as can
recollect it, (and believe can repeat il
precisely as it occnrred,) and this will plead
my apology for the introduction of language
which confess was neither becoming TO
Mr.. Tyler nor myself, and still less proper
for the public prints however, as it was
used, must repeat it here.
After getting through the business which
carried me there, Mr.. Tyler said
