From the following it will be seen tina,

Tyler man, condemns the removal of Mr..
Stacy from the Post office in this place.

Mr.. TYLER.-The Editor of the Wheel
ing Times, Mr.. Wharton, is one of the wit
nesses summoned by Mr.. Bolts in his commu-
nication. to prove the truth of his Statement,
that Mr.. Tyler, while Vice President, de-
clared that should he be called upon, he
would vote for bill charterng United
States Bank. In answer to the inquiry of a
correspondent in this particular, the Editor
OF the times responds:
Early in March, 1871, I was present, with some
other gentlemen, in Mr.. Tyers room, when dis.
cnsslon of the probability of the passage of bank
charter took place, during which the opinion prevail
ed that, upon that question, the Senate would be
equally divided. Mr.. Tyler was asked whether he
would, IN that event, give his casting vote for or
against the charter. He replied. as near as | can
recoIlcct-"ln that event. sir, should give my vote
regardless OF opinions expressed and acted upon
when was the Representative of virginia in favor
OF the charter. When was representative of Viz
gina, acted IN accordance with what believed TO
be The wishes OF my constituents. am now the rem
resentauve OF the whole Union, and believing that n
large majority of the people at the last election, ex-
pressed themselves in favor of United States Bank
shall, II called upon, vote for a charter.
, ihese we presume, are not precisely his words ;
out the tenor IS the same. II is a remark we could
not mstake or forget nasmuch, as the rankness and
decision there manifested, induced me 10 feel confiden,
that tho vetoes of the session were on accoun,
OF some supposed defects in the details, and were
not grounded upon opposition TO such an insti,u.
