D5ln the Madisonian Of the lst instant. we
published an article respecting some charges
said to have been made against the Presiden,
by John NJ. Bolts, TO the following effect:
That he meant to be candidate, not only for four
but for right years from the 4ih March as thus
making the whole term of his service twelve wears
and then '-'
That the President had offered him any Office in his
gift, provided he Bo,ts) would sustain linn in his
pirstions and then
That he. John Minor Bolts, from this time oe,.ed
TO visit the President
To these charges we made answer, upon all
thetily, denying their accuracy, and explaining
the position and views Of the President, in re-
lauon to the matters charged.
Mr.. Bolts has com. out in the Richmond
Wing Of the 10th instant, reiteraliug The charges
IN language with which We cannot soil our 60.
lumns, and, as if distressing The confidence of
the public in his narrative, has gone through the
ludlcrous ceremony Of taking an extra judicial
oath Of no legal obgatra, to lis truth.
An issue is thus formed, uron which the pub
lie opinion has so clearly expressed itself tba,
we do not deem 1t necessary to add single
word
Some evidence Of thar opinion will be found
IN our column. today

Z" ALL THE RELIGION. -

Bolts has published the particulars Of private con-
versaton had by himself with Capt Tyler, before he
had fully undertaken TO head T" him. Knowing
the estimate generally placed on his word Of honor,
Bolts has sworn to his statement before Alder
man of the city of RI chmond {" Whether the story
strengthened any by the oath leave the reader to
Judge for himself, after giving two three elegant
extracts +" from the conversation, as exemplifying
the claims Of the federal party to all the religion ":
This is but one of many similar exotics put by
Bolts in Capt. Tyler's mouth. We will finish by quo
ing one which he give himself the credit of u,tcring
''By Cd, Mr.. Tyler, if il is your purpose to be-
tray that party aud TO defeat their measures if it is
your purpose TO break them down and set up party
for yourself-I'II be damned if you did see
violent and bitter opponent than you will find
in me-"
Bolts word is good for nothing, but his character
entities him to the honor Of an acknow lodged leader
Of the Clay party.
