Tyle and which has Jist come 10 my notice thro
tho .Richmond STAR" having been Published by
the authority Of, if not written by, The individn-
al who occupies the elevated post OF acting Pfesi-
dent of The Uuited States, would, from The posi-
ton he occupies, seem to demand such attention
at my hands, as would neither pay to MN as a
man, nor 10 tho channel through which his com
municati0n Is made.
| la the reply ara about to make, shall conhne
myself a simple statement OF facts avoiding as
far can every thing like vuuperntion aud
abuse, beyond that which NAV be embodied IN the
simple expression of my reason Tor II, which rs,
that have long since held him, as nine ieen-t"on-
teths Of his countrymen hold him, indeed All but
his purchased parasites, and hired stPendarte7,
as too degraded and contenptble, and sunk too
low, IN all tho attributes that adorn the charac-
ter of gentleman, to eniI.e him 10 raise II the
dignity Of abuse: fer | am not one of those VINO
think that high station can confer either dignity,
respec,abilIiy unworthy man. Bat am
not n little eratfiod that tho opportunity has at
length been afforded by this hard wruDg and re-
Iucisnt denial, TO make known to my friends thro
out the country, the occasion and the cause OF my
first denuncaton of Mr.. Ter, the floor OF the
! House Of Representatives,, as a Traitor TO his
party and his country, and of entertaining de-
sign crush tho power of tho Wings, who had
elevated him office and 10 build up party for
himself upon It's ruins-bnt for timely exposure
OF which, the consequences would be difficult now
to estimate
BY this statement, question of veraci,y is
raised between Mr.. John Tyler and my self, the
result of which | cannot dread where we are
both known. In tho language of the "Siar,"
trust, that ain this country, bestreen John Tyler
and John NJ. Bots, and especially here, Dhere
both best kao,cn, something more than Mr..
John 7pler's rord ,cW be manted against the ,rord
of Mr. Bons.' When the day shall arrive that
one-half, It not three fourihs Of an American
Congress shall be prepared to testify, upon oath,
tina, they believe me to have been guilty OF The
most wilful and deliberate falsehoods in various
instances!-when such falsehoods shall have been
established upon by he concurrent testimony
Of such men as Thomas Ewing, John Bell, Jonn
]. Crl,tsnden, Geo. E. Badger, Francis Granger,
John Mcpherson Berrien, and John Sergeant.-
finally. when il shall have been charged upon me
by the most cminen, and honorable members Of
the bar, and made matter Of record-that have
obtained, by fraud, bond from an IDIOT ward,
and that charge shall be sustained by the High
Court of Chancery in Virginia, and | shall be
perpe,uaIly enloined and restrained from ever re-
alizing the amount of the bond thus fraudulently
obtained from The estate of conIdIng and unfor
tunate young friend, who had looked up 10 me 40
his friend and secoad ia her,* then it will be time
enough for me 10 shrink from such CONTROVERSY
but until then (for | cannot recognize any
equality between the word of Mr.. john Tyler
and myself befoze) let not the hand that has been
tainted and stained with corruption and fraud +
let the lips that have been polluted with false
hood or the hearI that has been damned with
treachery base that Of the fallen angel.
hell iiself-be credited IN any assault that he may
make on my character or veraci,y.
But while the conversation which | am now
about 10 give in full detail occurred, las was not
only natural, but certain 10 have happened,) in
the absence Of oil witnesses, yet will give such
crcums lan'Ial and corrohora'lye evidence of its
truth, as will not fail 10 remove every rernnan, Of
doubt, upon the mind OF every candid and dIsInte>
rested reader, no matter TO what party he may
belong.
|, was on Wednesday, the third day of the Ex-
ira Session Of Congress, that ! visited Mr.. Tyler
on busine that tad been intrusted to my charge,
by some of my constituents, when the following
conversation took place, the substance Of which
10 now emphatlcally denies; and as mean TO
,tiix nv affidavit to it, shall give entirely and in
'uli, rerbatim ct Hterati7 nearly can
collect it, land believe can repeat it precise
v as i, occurred.) and this will plead my apology
or tho Introduction of language, which confess
vas neither becoming to Mr. Tyler nor myself,
nd still less proper for the public prints--howev
). as it was used must repeat II here:
After getting through the business which car
led me there. Mr.. rs Ter said:
"WeII, Bolts, unders tanG you have been de- 7
ounclng my MESSAGE" to which replied,
"No, Mr.. Tyler, have sold nothing about your !
Message that deserves 10 be characterised as de-
uuciation, though am sorry to find you have :
iready established back stair influence here, TO :
Communicate every whisper that may be made. II
II tell you candidy what did say Of the mes n
age, when asked my opinion of it: said, II was :
slip slop milk and water affair, nd not such as
had expected or desired 20 see."
Mr.. TYLER said with some anina:ion. but good
umoredly, "Wel, God damn it, what did you q
ect or wish?" a
"WelI sir" said l. II would have had you TO u
ave recommended Bank of the United States,
