RICHMOND DAILY WING,
WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 10, isia.
MIR. Bolts.

''Rs -
We publish this morning, alc,tcr from this gentleman on
the subject of the .'questicn ofycraciiy" raised 10y the Mad
isonian, between him and John Tyler, which we feel a per
feet consciousness. will be entirely conclusive with every
man who reads IL. We care not what his politics may be,
Wing, Democrat, or Fishy. MI. Bolts will after its perusal,
stand higher than he already docs, high as that is, in the cs.
timSion Of the friends of an independent and liberty loving
course Of conduct-John Tyler will be damned lower than
he is damned already, by every man who respects not mere
~ political integrity. but pirate honor.
IL is n proof, an additional fact to the old stock, that guilt
will convict itself, that John Tyler should have raised,
through the fundamentally at his court Gazette, the Madi-
sonian, n question Of voruciry. a question OF personal hon
our, between himself and Air. Bolts: there was no necessity
for the issue at all. lie has raised IL in the mere wantonncss
Of Presidential power. He is President oGihe United States:
MIR. Bolts as he conccives, has Just been rejected for n scat
in Congress, and fke (whai shall We call him, which while 1t
is respectful 10 the reader, willconvey our sense OF the incfa-
bic and incNprcssiblc basencsS of that mani the President
OF the United States by accident, thought it u favorable
moment for cNiinguishing Mr. Bolts, by raising a question
of vcracity between Mr.. Bolts and him. How that ques-
ton is likely to evenmatc nay must evenmatc, the Public
hcreabout was well prepared To say, before MIR. Bolts letter.
Tyler already condemned rs a politician, will sink under
that letter still lower as n gentleman.
We advise MIR. John Tyler and his Court Gazette to oh
serve a cautious silence, and Ia assail no man. The case in
Chancery with Lightoot, with Leigh's opinion upon its
merits, with Chancellor Nelson's injunction, and with Judge
Robortson's pcrpctuation OF that Injunction, is n perpetual
and impcrishable mcmcnto to That parsonage, to be cautious
how he throws stones, and not to suffer himself. intoxicated
by his Presidential luck, Ia invade the character OF Others.
Nh. Bolts letter will be read with grca, interest, as an ex-
pose carrying the truth ON its face. aud Calculating many
facts connected with the history Of the time.

The name Of "Shocco Jones'" one Of the most impu.
dent, outrageous, and successful s~windlcrs, that ever ran at
large in this nation, is, we believe, familiar to every man,
woman, and child. He maintains about the same rank among
American swindlcrs tiat Jack Sheppard did among English
thieves. Well, we were rather surprised The other day, in
reading a Mississippi newspaper, 10 find him figuring very
prominently and conspicuously at a large public meeting in
that State. We did not Mt first comprehend how even he
could have the audacity TO exhibit himself in any public
assemblage of his fellow.citizons. The mystery was soon
explained however, for we found that the assomblago was
n gathering Of the repudiators. OF course Shocco had a
right to carry his head high among them, for he was as good
as the best OF Jour.

MISSING TREASURY NOTES

The Custom House RoJtery-We hear that a clue TO
the stupcndous piece Of yilainy that has caused so much
excitement in this city, during the last few days, has been
discovered, and that a strong probability exists tha, the per
petrator of the robbery will be discovered and arrested. In
this state OF affairs, II Is no more than fair that the public
should withhold its judgment, and patiently await develop
mcnts. The Collector OF the port will most undoubtedly
exonerntc himself from all blame. We are informed like
wise that there is good proof that the missing package was
never deposited in the post office. In the course OF a few
days, there is good reason to believe, the whole truth will
be made known-N. q. Tropic.

IRELAND.

Disturbances have taken place in some parts OF Ireland,
especially in the neighborhoOd of Monaghan, with u view
~ obtain a reduction vi rent. The lower class OF people,
having assembled themselves in numbers, committed nn.
merous outrages; the stewards OF the different estates being
IN general the object OF theI. furious Indignation. No life
has been lost; and the determined conduct ut those IN au.
tionty will probably prevent, for 4 time at least, the recur-
renee Of such violent proceedings.

IMPORTANT NEWS!

A friend has informed US tina, an anonymous
pamphlet, written a la Be,atoa, was circulated
in the House OF Representatives yesterday, at
tempting TO show that a coalition has been iomi-
ed between Mr.. Calhoun apd Mr.. Webster
n. B. Since writing the above, another
friend has placed copy OF the pamphlet in our
hands, and we find that zee have been made the
negoriaior between The high contracting par
ties
We not only Indignantly disclaim being the
4" lin whistle of Whigery," but we pronounce
the assertion that coalition has been formed
between Messrs. Webster and Calhoun sheer
fabrication aud rs foolish as false. Any one
who was present in the Senate yesterday, when
the Carolinian was talking 10 " that same old
coohp from Maryland, need not be told what
are his sentiments in relation TO The assumption
of State debts. The pamphlet lies in its teeth.

SENATE.

After the presentation Of memorials, ETC., the SEN
ate proceeded to the consideration of the resolutions
submitted BY Mr. RIyrs declaring that is demanded
by the public interests Of the parties Immediately
concerned, as well as those Of ihc country at large,
that Congress should explicitly and unequvocaily
declare the views Il entertains Of the appropriate
and constitutional sphere Of its powers and duties in
relation to the fuflment Of the pecunary engage
ments Of the several Staes-that il would be in VIC
lation Of the Constitution to assume those debts
and that just sentiment Of respect for the character
of sovereign States, mourning pecuniary obligations
by deliberate act Of the public will and solemn
pledge of the public faith through their constitutions
al and appropr ate organs forbids the apprehension
that any Of the States Of this Union will fail to call
forth their utmost for the final redemption
of their engagements, preferring every sacrifice to
dshonor and proud illustrate that jealous spirit Of
independence which belongs to free republican
States, by stern and strenuous reliance their own
