son,an, respecting him, upon the authority Of Mr.
Tyler. lie also requests those papers which have
copied the Madisonians article to rcrubsh his
letter ALEC. A: we are one Of the number TO
whom the request is preferred, we cannot in JUS
,ice decline substantial compliance herewith, BY
copying such portions Of the i,uer as appear and
are alleged to be variations Of fact The great
length Of Mr.. Bots reply makes il very nconve-
nient 10 reproduce the whole, and considerable
portions of il are Of such nature, beng merely
yuperaiivc Of the President, that we scarcely re-.
gret the necessity Of emitting them. Mr. Bolts

been chosen with more regard 10 gcn,lemany de-
corun and that respect for the Presidential office
which never shonld be lost sight Of in dislike or
con,emp, for the man.

that you should recommend Bank of the United
