Richmond Enquirer reviewed" answering
disquisiton of the Enquirer, upon the subject OF
Bank of the United States, the Intelligent

in 1910, has the following passage:
Though The question Of Bank is not now before the
country and is dragged into the present discussion on

This naturally leads us TO the inquiry, What
were the real Intentions and motipes ofthe Clay

President With the knowledge Of the facts
which we have given as regard, the kno" n
opinions Of the President through life, on the
question Of Bank, and the position of the
Wing parry in rea ion to it during the canvass
of 1910, it is in vain TO say that the hue and cry
raised against the President upon his vetoes Of
the Bank bills, arose from sincere desire Of
the Wing party in Congress TO have Bank, or
because they for one moment supposed the Pre-
sideni gailty of "treachery and perfidy," as they
charged. Other and more potent causes must

INDUCING in this belief from facts which 10 our
mind are conclusive. For instance, the first
which strikes our attention is the refusal of Mr..
Clay al a personal interview with the President,
TO receive or listen 10 any compromise upon the
question of Bank from the President, and his
rejection of Ewngs bill. Thus, at The outset,
bringing about by his personal action, that very
dsunion and dl,cord which the President it
will be seen, in the letters Of Green and Thomp-
son, strove so hard 10 avoid, through the loftiest
and most patriotic considerations. But Mr..
Clay saw distinctly that nothing could prevent
the reelection Of Mr.. Tyler if the currency
question was settled. A General Green states.
IT was absolutely necessary to keep that question
open, in order 10 insure the slightest chance of
success TO any other than Mr.. Tyler.
Secondly. Mr.. Bots, in his Coffee House
Letter, Of August 10, 1871, thus writes:
"Our Captain Tyler is making desperate effort

headed yet, and regret to say it will end badly for
him. He will be an bect of execration with both
partes-with one for yetoing our ill., which was
bad enough with the other for signing worse one
but he is hardly entitled TO sympathy. lie has re-
fused TO listen 10 the admontons and entreaties of
! his best friends, and looked only to the hsper-
ngs of ambitious aud designing mischief. makers
that have collected around him.
"The veto will be rccei' ed without word, laid
ou the table, and ordered to be printed. To night
we must and will settle matters quietly as posi-
bic, but they must be settled. Yours, sc.

Here we have the object openly avow,d of
