On the same day and during the same
conversation, | was further informed Of
Mr., Tylsr's ews in reference to Mr. CLAY
as his successor, by an invitation tn unite
with him in making Mr.. Webster the
strong man Of The South" for the Presi-
n, L
and il you will unite with me, we can
make him the popular man With sll our
Southern people; to which | replied that
| should be glad to Sc many of the pre-
juices then existing n the South m
country sg inst MIR. Webster removed,
and should like to see hun President, but
all in good time, Mr.. Tyler; his time has
not yet come-ihere is one befre bin
with far higher and stronger ci,ims Oh he

Webster must wait his lime.

Clay, though may hive done II; If

The Mailsonjan is right in on pslticn-
lar, where be says did not cease 10 visit
Mr.. Tyler after this interyiew--nor did
! ever say otherwise my express on in
the discussion referred to, as that | never
broke bread with him after that-snd |
might have added that | was never asked;
for Mr.. Isl r had found on that day that
| was not made of pene;rabls stuff, and
did not suit has purposes but did con-
tinue to visi, him. and did all in my power
to keep HIM IN The p II Of rectitude acd
honor, and doubt not, he has often since
in his moments of reflection cursed him
sell for not taking some of the wholesome
advice then gave HIM; but when found
all my efforts unavailing, and that other
councils had prevailed, VII ch must plunge
him into destruction and The country INTO
ruin-I then ceased my visits, and when
at last | was reluctant TO look upon his
treach rous visage, ! made last effort,
by letter which was long since pub ish-
ed IN connexlon with my speech on the
Veto, 10 which warned him OF all that
has been realized by the course he has
pursued.
As for tn statement Of the Madisonian
"by authority" that he refused to hold
any nmmunication with me on account
Of ''my treachcry, there is too much of
stuff and baderdash n ii to merit a reply.
Let that go for what t is worth! II IS
not necessary that should 90 into his

and can say with an upright conscitn e,
tn so far from that amendment being
adopted with view Of Embarrassing MIR.
Tyler, that had every reason to believe,
as had Mr.. CLAW, that if adopted the bill
would receive his Signature.
Ia regard to the last paragr phi Of Mr..
Tyler's article. it is false that ever made
any such assertion. do not know 10
what particular occasion he alludes, when

On the night of the 2 Of March, al,
Mr.. Tyler and myself slept in the same
bed, and talked more than half the night
on various subjects, public and private
among those subjects Of q public nature
was the es,ab' ishment Of National Bank.
