From ths N u Esprss'
MIR. Bolts AND THE PRESIDENT.
Mr. John Minor Bolts, OF the last Congress, as Is
well known, has been carrying on, ioi some u1ne,
severe opposition personal and political 10 u'S
sdent Of the United States, who II seems, Was once
one of his most intimate friends and acquaintahees
The story OF the Coffee House letter." the Head
him OF den affair, the resolutions Of Impeachment
tbe conve alton related by Capt Stockton, reat"e
10 the Sc term principle" &c, must all be 'resh
in the recollection Of our readers.
During the recent canvass in Virginia, MIR b. be-
ing candidate for Congress- The Madsonisn came
out With oficai" denial Of the assertions oil Mr.
Bots relative TO certain passages between HIM and
the President and the Washington correspondent oil
the Aurora, in this city, having done The same hhe,
and In more severe and offensive term, Mr. H. has
deemed il advisable, that the election is over,
10 come out in the Richmond Wing, and TO reiterate
ali he had said before on all these subjects And to
The statements cont med in this communication he
appends magistrates certificate oil his oatt'
Among other lbings IN TN, long and remarkable
art Gle Tin the course Of which there some gra-
phc details Of conversation between the writer, and
Mr. Tyler,) MIR. Bolts relates what took place be-
| Nv cen them, night, while Mr.. l. was wee frc-
| sident in bed at Browns Hotel, in Washington.
This every body will admit, is sufficiently free and
easy and we must confess that the first perusa OF
the story struck in the same ludicrous light in
which the editor of the Richmond Compiler seems to
have viewed it,
The Madlsonian, IN alluson 10 this communlca-
ton of Mr. Bolts, hints that the Presidents simple
denial of all that the writer has said will go further
than Il latters oath in its support. The editor
that he has not the article, but has heard
OF its contents. And IS to the story Of Mr. BIS
sleeping in the same bed with Mr. Tyler the official
oracle virtually admits that II was true accounting
for it on the ground that the city very full at
that time, and that there was not more than one bed
for every two persons at the metropolis. This is
sufficiently amusing, but the climax IS more Than
capped when the official editor actually suggests
that Mr. Tyler permitted Mr.. Bolts TO share his
bed Mr.. Bolts being Virgiaian," and that-but the
Madsonian shall speak and ask for itslf
But is il not more than probable that all the reve-
lations said by MIR. Bolts to have been made to him
by MIR. Tyler, were the mere phantdsms Of troubled
brain' Had not MIR. Bolts been taking wine during
the day? Did he not have the headache at night
Many a will ponder the things and
heard in dream, till al length he will swear they
were realities"

HEADING
Mr.. John NJ. Bolts has a penchant for heading
he should keep little guillotine in his garden for
now, although his head is off, smack smooth, as
the children have it, still, like ST. Denys of France,
he tucks his caput under h arm and goes about at
his old work Of trying to head Captain Tyler Surely
this Is decided of the ruling passion strong
in DEATH than has been heard of since the decapita
ted Duchman troed down the nine pins v ith his
own noddle, and got set up, just he went into
a state oi defunctoD. Like poor Tom, in the trage-
dy Bolts throws his head at hem, to scare away the
foul fend and his satellites late number of the
Richmond Wing contains a letter from Mr.. Bolts
gnawIng let er, enough to Kill horse-iL which
he details various conversations between himself and
Mr. Tyler, intended to shew the latter gentleman's
Inconsistencies, sc.
Bolts will swallow his own head some Of these days
and will then endavor play boa constructor John
Jones and the Captain. They cannot choke him of.
From the Spirit Of the Times
! JOHN M. Bolts VS.. PRESIDENT TYLER.
MIR. Bolts-lhe gentleman whose name has become
somewhat celebrated for his public avowa of his de-
termination to 4" head" Mr. Tyler, or perish in the
attempt" has published long communication in the
Richmond Wing of the 10Th inst, in which he pro
iesses 10 give all the private conversations Of the Pre-
sident with him on the subject of political policy.
The communication is one of the most singular
both in point of style and matter we have noted for
some time. 1t abouuds with the most Extraordinary
language, and pictures both MIR. Bolts and the Presi
dent IN the habit of employing the greatest profu-
SION of oaths in their familiar DISCOURSE
As we look upon this quarrel with an eve of per
teei hsAtfa'th OF Mr. Bolts, because Mr. Tyler
DID not think proper 10 favor the creation of another
United States Bank &C. and as our political feelings
sway neither towards MIR Tyler nor his ultra Fede-
raj Wing denunciator, of course We sneak re6ert-
ingy, when We say that Mr. Botts's letter is alto
geiher in wrechedy bad taste and will be very an,
to do more injury TO his cause than to the canse
OF his opponent.
In the hrst place, people look with natural dis
trust upon The man who can betray the confidential
communications Of his associates. They suspect the
honesty OF any one who, taking advantage Of close
companlonshp and private intimacy publshe, TO the
world remarks uttered in the confidence of friend
ship and all to crafty feeling of personal poue
MIR Bolts may speak the truth in these disclosures
he may be exact in every word and par,icular-we
know nothing about that, nor have We the means of
judgingbut In very truth we are inclined TO desnis
the man who plays the part Of the " household spy ~
and common sense teaches that he who could
stoop to such baseness, would be malignant enough
TO coin many falsehood in order TO stab more ef
icc,ually Tbs bosom he was betrsying
Now, certes, we are no Tyler man, and hence
have no disposition TO praise the President, but il
strikes us that ii Mr.. Bolts gives the facts in this
case, they are rather credtable TO Mr. Tyler.
This having been said apparently half in Jest and
half In ernest, | was doubtful how he intended il
until IN a more serious tone he resumed
Next comes fulsome eulogy the part of Mr.
Bolts on his own political integrity which the reader
may easily imagine II ends with
"But, by Cd, Mr.. Tyler, IL II is your purpose TO
betray that party (the Whg) and to defeat their mea
suresi If II IS your purpose to break them down and
get up party for yourself-l'll be id il ever
you did see more violent and bitter opponent than
you will find in me-" &C., sc.
The rest Of the letter is all "eatber and prunea
and appeals to versl members Of Congress 10 cor
rooorate certain portions Of his remarks as IL dub
Gus oi The confidence that would be reposed in them
We have given enough TO shew the character Of
thls brochure and the reader is at liberty to think over
Il for himself
We can sec nothing in such publications but what
IS calculated to degrade our country abroad and
bring contempt upon our public men AZ home Mr
