ALLEGED COLOQUIES BETWEEN
Mr.. TYLER AND Mr.. Bolts.

Mr. John Miner Bolts, late Member of Con-
gress, appears in the Richmond Wing, with what
the Richmond Enquirer Justly calls one of the most
extraordinary articles ever published in newspa-
per- 1t purports to be report of certain conversa-
tons held between himself and Mr.. Tyler when
they were terms of strict and unceremonious in
timacy.-[ Buffalo Courier.
Mr.. Bolts relates that, on Wednesday, the third
day of the special session of Congress- held in the
summer of 1841, he visited Mr.. Tyler on business
inrusted to his charge by some of his constituents
He proceeds
"The following conversation took place,
the substance Of which he Mr.. Tyler now
so emphatically denies, and as mean to
affix my affidavit to it, shall give it en-
tirely in full, rerbdtim Ell eHteratim, as
nearly as can recollect it (and | believe |
can repeat it precisely as it occurred, and
this will plead my apology for the intro
duction 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 that
carried me there, Mr.. Tyler said:
Well, Bolts, | understand you have
been denouncing my message" to which
replied,
"No, Mr.. Tyler, have said nothing
about your message that deserves to be
characterized as denunciation, though [
am sorry to find you have already estab-
lshed back-stair influence here, to COM
municate every whisper that may be made.

message, when asked my opinion Of it: I
said it was a slip-slop, milk-and-water af-
fair, and not such as | had expected or de-
sired to see."
Mr.. Tyler said, with some animation,
but good humoredly, " Well God damn it,
what did you expect or wishH'
"Well, sir" said I, (" would have YOU
10 have recommended Bank Of the United
States, natlooted, and in the most unquali-
fled terms"
"Now, by God" said Mr.. Tyler, "that
shows how damned hard you are to please.
| have submitted to your consideration three
plans: the Bank Of the United States, the
State Bank system, and the Sub-treasury;
and have told you to take your choice,
and | would be satisfied with either"
"But," said |, &" Mr.. Tyler, did Mt you
know that Wing Congress would take
neither the State Bank system nor the Sub
Treasury"
Certainly, did said he, J." and there
fore YOU ought to be satisfied"
"Well," | answered, 81 should
have preferred that you should have re-
commended Bank Of the United States out
right, and let Congress have come to your aid
and stood shoulder to shoulder upon the
question, instead Of saying that each had
been condemned in It's turn; and we should
then have escaped the taunt which we now
meet with from our opponcnts-that we
have a Wing President who dares not re-
commend a Bank" " But, | continued,
"there was another objection had to your
message; | would have had YOU to recon-
mend the distribution of the proceeds of the
sales of the public lands, without qualiica-
ton"
" And 50 have" said he.
"Oh no." said |, - you have attached a
proviso, that the duties to be levied should
not exceed those contemplated by the act
of 1888, which you know they are obliged
to do, in order to raise enough revenue for
the support Of Government"
