| We think il better 10 brand the false rumors
in circulation collectively, once week, than in
detail, as they arise.
Some of the letter-wrters at Washington. we
would premise, are possessed OF tne talents, and
commendable regard for truth; others are tai
ented merely bul quite a number, we must
say, have neither talents nor consciences.
Arain.t these we must warn the community.
And some of the leading Wing papers, edited
by protesting Christians, that would not CON
talsehoods, have, we observe, perhaps unwit-
,ngly, copied from other journals the most men
dacious statements in circulation. And stale
ments of this description would never obtain
any notice at our hands, were they not thus CO
pied iIto journals which have the character Of
responsibility.
Within the last week we have observed a
general assortment of sheer fabrlcations IN
the columns of the United States Gazette, Bal
tmore Patriot, and New York Courier and En-
quirer. II is stated with an air OF truth that the
President directed Mr. Spencer 10 remove the
depostes from the Philadelphia Bank, and that
Mr. S. refused to obey. Now the President
was never addressed on the subject by any one /;
never uttered word, directly or indirectly, TO
the Secretary in reference TO the matter; and
of course never directed the removal. We are
sure the President would never direct anything
TO be done which was not right and proper in the
Chief Magistrate TO have done; and we rather
suspect his wishes are complied with, whenever
he gives directions. II is also stated very en-
are suhforIzea 10 say that no such correspondence
as is described by many Washington letter wri
tiers ever took place between them, either on this
or any kindred subject. If we mistake not the
Baltimore Patriot has threatened 10 publish this
imaginary correspondence. Will its Wig cor
respondent say in what manner and from what
source he hoped to obtain copies of the letters
The President, we have some reason TO believe,
is not ignorant of men and things in Washing
ton, and the motives which induce the promu-
CATION of mlschievous taes-which in due time
will be certified to all immediately concerned in
their connection.
We have recently seen Gf we remember
rghtly) in the Courier and Enquirer, United
States Gazette, Baltimore Patriot, and fifty
pfints Of less note, an account Of recent visit
Of Mr.. Robert Tyler to North Carolina, during
which he is represented as having made him
self very ridiculous" This story has afforded
the ultra Wing portion of the community much
amusement and satisfaction amusement, in
adding delectable particulars not found in the
original version, (it originated in North Carroll
na,) and satisfaction, in finding an apparent JUS
LITIGATION of their many unprinciped aspersions
of his name. lie i1as nerer an North Carolina
in his life.
We have recently seen long lists of removals
OF distant postmasters, &c. going the rounds,
when none in the list had been, have yet, OF are
likely to be molested. This was done to create
the impression--and we doubt not il was Great
ed IN some instances-rhat the President was
making general sweep" throughout The
Union. All the changes, by removal, since Mr..
Tyler has been President, do not equal in amount
the number of removals made by Mr. Granger
in one week
The time is comng-and il may not be far
oii-when the slanderers and rcvilers of Presi-
dent Tyler will be covered with shame and con-
fusion.
