"The defeated header john MINOR Boris,
who Snds himself minus the votes 10 place hun a
gain in a position which he so hagrantIy disgrac-
ed, did not hesitate in the late election 10 resort
10 every dishouorahle means to purchase success.
With a full knowledge Of his political and person
al character, Of his horse racing and JDckeying
propensities, OF his jpbbpg IN elections, aud the
like, had not quite supposed that one who mad
occupied a sent in Congress could descend 10 10"
and palpable falsehood TO further his Own amoi
,ious views or to lnInre the cause OF ms oPpo-
nents. In a speech recently made Nv ms man
Bn,s he uneonivocally asserted that John Tyler,
vh:,. y;ce President, had declared himself IN IA
vor Of a B,nk OF the Uui,ed States TO him b
in an interview had upon that subject IN comPa-
nv with a third person. This statement | have
reason TO know IS false in every important par
,icuIar The President has not only repeatedly
denied il bu, the third person who was present,
Gen Waddy Thompson our Minister to Mexico,
immedia ,ely after this interview, communicated
to certain members o: the Senate his positive o.
pnop that Il the bank charter depended upon
tho casting vote Of the presiding officer OF ihai
body. in event, was II TO be expected! make
this declaration upon no empty rumor. GENERAL
THOMPSON has, ! am informed, explained the
whole circumstances under hls own signature
which can be brought forward whenever the
friends of the President deem il necessary to cor
roborate the testimony already before the public
This is tho species Of bare faced calumny Will
which our Executive has been assailed; and thi
IL the kind Of falsehood with which such men q
Bolts would elec,ioneer into place. The iact l
now upon file Bolts has made the assertion, an
Gen. Thompson plainly aenesi'. Between ihes
two authorities, who will hesitate to decide!'
1t is enough, | suppose. for me to say that
have never called Mr.. Thompsons name 10 cor
nexion with this subject, have never thought
him. and have had the slightest aliusion
him-por do recolleci ever TO have been preser
at nny interview with Mr.. Tyler 10 company wit
Mr. Thompson. At the conversation, refer I
at Brown's Hotel, there were eighteen or twent
gentlemen presest-but Mr.. Thompson was NC
Of tho number. They were all strangers, wi
had visited Washington to attend the inaug
ration My impression is, that Mr.. Wharton
the Wheeling Times, was one of them, though
will not say with a certainty, that he was the
at the time of the conversation, as they were &C
s,anty passing in and out Of the room-he c
speak for himself If this should meet his eye.
But let THEM select witnesses for me, and sc
10 Mexico for them if necessary, and then oall
them TO say whether they heard all that hear
and il will not be difficult to dsprove all | ha
said; a tolerably strong game they attempt to p
but it ,oon't do; try back gentlemen
