MIR. JOHN MINOR Bolts.


of this notorious parsonage towards the Presl-
dent, for the lat eighteen months, that we
frankly confess, when his last attack, published
in the Richmond Wing of the 10th May, first
made lis appearance, we determined TO leave
him in quiet, 10 the Ieprobalion of every honest
and IN raj member Of society without reply
Even now we are not aware OF any respectable
and decent journal ia the country, having soil
ed its columns with the mass of trash and pro-
family with which Mr. Bots furnished the pub
lie through the Richmond Wing. Nor would
we for one moment condescend TO honor such
stuff with single remark, but for the fact, that
IL contains rery much the same matter with
aohich The President was charged by The ultra
members of the Wing party ia 4l-the
PECULIARISTS, whose scaveneger MI
Bolts has contented himself 10 be. We took
the most charitable view which we could OF his
conduct, and ascribed to il the consummae
folly and cocknied conceit Of braggart, whose
talents did not enable him to distinguish between
notoriey and fame, and the summit of whose
ambition, in his own very exalted estimation,
was TO be attained by conflict, as he presumed,
WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
BY such a conflict his name, however inglo-
riously, or Erosiratus-like, would at least be
handed down to posterity-and though forever
TO be execrated, yet TO be remembered from It's
forced connection with worthy and much re-
vered object. In this view we deemed it best
to let him alone in his proaigacy, TO abide the
calm and elfectual judgment of his counlrymen
Since We have reflected further, and had
placed in our possession important papers which
throw ligh, upon the eventui period Of al, and
which the cause Of truth aud justice demands
that we should make public, we have thought
proper TO renew the subject The American
People have an interest in the fair fame Of
their public servants, and above all in that of
their Chief Magistrate. The cause of liberty
suffers by the imputation cast upon her institu-
lions through which there has been placed al
the head Of the Government Chief represent
ed al demon in human shape-a man devoid
OF honesty-abhorred Of virtue, and denounced
by uuh-monarchsts and autocrais and all
enemies of free government-those who de pise
the People and di,pute their capacity for self
covernmeni,-hnd in such aspersons new
causes for deriding Republics, and new inccn-
tives for magniiying the horrors of Dem ocracy.
The fabrications of Mr.. John Minor B 1tt., there
fore, should be exposed, not for the purpose Of
sinking him 10 any lower depth Of Infamous no
tnraiy than tho, which he eldy occupies,
bu, for the purpose of letting the good men
and true" of all assoc iations in the country, I'M
derstand how delestabe has been the falsehood
how oathsome the calumny-lhat portion oil
political party has been willing to employ
against the object OF their hatred.
But why has Mr.. Bots and his associates
drought proper 10 enter into such wholesale
and barbarous denunciation of President TYLER z
what were the sentiments entertained by them
towards him during all previous time to the
Banklvetoes2 IL may be little curious to see
In review of the past we often find wisdom
and correctness, and sometimes are restored to
that proper train of thought which enables US to
do justice TO the present. In the records of the
past we find these expressions Of opinions al
the time Of Mr.. Tyer's accession to the Presi
dency.
The Richmond Wing, says:
"John Tyler is now elevated 10 the head Of the
Wing party and the American People. III, otrn nsri
and the decree Of fate have placed him in the first
place among men. That he will worthily discharge
it-thst he will pursue with unfalterng steps the
good OF The country, we have no shadow Of doubt"
The Courier and Enquirer, says:
"John Tyler is high-minded, honorable and frank
gentleman, and Wing, uhose talents secured for him
the nomination and support Of the people for the Sc
cond station In the world, SC, &c.
The lntelligencer speaks Of "his hieh char.
dcfer, known sentiments, and unspotied patri-
otism"
The New York Evening Star, says:
President Tyler is an old and tried Republican,
In whom the public may place the utmost confidence -
The Boston Atlas, says:
"If any thing could console us for the severe be-
reayement under which we are now languishiny. il
would be the reflection that the succession To the
Chief Magstracy falls upon one who Is every way
worthy TO ill the high station 20 which he has been
so unexpectedly called. The erahed character. stpe-
Nor aainpunts, and eminent srrees Of the Hon. John
Tyler, sufficient guaranty to the people &c &c
lie Nlrginian Of firm and unbending principles of
sterling integrity, and un,cGre'ing attachment TO the
Constitution"
The Ma 'sachusers Spy, says.
General Harrison is succeeded by John Tyler, Of
Virginia. an able aud honest aaiesman.n
The Hartford Courant, says:
Those who are acquainted with MIR. Tyler.
think well OF his talents principles, and character
The Alexandra Gazette, says:
ave have now at the head Of the Government a
high-minded, true-hearted, patriotic virginian."
The Baltimore Patriot dec AIRED q at Mr.. Tv
Ter, Of all others, was the man TO a. sumo the
mantle Of the d, sd President; and the pub
Usher claimed the credit Of being the first man
in America who had proposed the name
honest John Tyler" for the Presidency.
