From the Albany 9duertiser.
TO THE PUBLIC.
Albany, April 7th, is45.

I ALBANY, April TN, Io4o.
] NV recent removal from The Office Of Post
Master in this city, constrans me, in justice 10
myself, my family, and friends, TO publish
PLAIN and concise statement OF facts.
For the present | shall not notice the vile at
tack of the Madisonian, and much less, The
journal Of Commerce; but ] call the particular
attention Of the Public to the following letter.
, fThs letter is omitted. Ii is from the publish
ers of the Tyler newspaper in New YORK. -
/ Had complied with their wishes, ! would
have escaped the animadveTson Of those pa
| pers, and kept my Office. ], who have never
been an agent for any newspaper, and have re-
Trained from politics during my present and for
mer appoiniment-to be asked to force % Post
Masters in this county to the support OF
newspaper in favor of JOHN TYLER, and TO
report those who would not comply, for reno
val these Post Masters, my friends, who aid
ed to electme twice TO Congress; the first time,
without opposition, the second (when opposed)
by an overwhelming majorty-they ought TO
have known me better. | treated The letter
with contempt, and never answered il.
may as well state in this place, never had
any notice from the Post Office Department,
that was TO be, or was, removed; the first in
tmation Of was from Mr. WATSON, who call
ed about week before the close Of the quarter
and showed me communication from the Post
Master General informing him that he was
appointed Post Master IN this city, and direct
ing him to send on the necessary bonds-that
then his commission would issue. ] told Mr.
w. that should not give up the Office unless
had directions so 10 do, and advised him TO
apprise the Post Master General to that effect.
Late in the afternoon of the Slst March, The
last day of the quarter, Mr. WATSON received
his commission which he showed to me. at
once determined to give up The Office; and did
so: that night, although the Postmaster Gener-
al had not condescended TO write me on the
subject. When removed by MIR Van Buren,, |
had fourteen days notice TO call ia my accounts |
and close the business of the office; but on this !
occasion, had not four hours.
When John c. Spencer visited this city last
fall, and before he went on TO Rochester TO /
proclaim his own political iniamy, he offered
my Office, unasked for, TO Mr. WATSON; on his /
return 10 the city OF New York, he again met
Mr. WATSON and renewed the offer Letters,
too, ranked by him, 10 the latter, have passed |
through the Albany post Office.
II was my intention To- have treated Mr.
Spencer with the utmost severity, but the pub
lie will not be edited BY such course: his in
snlent and arbitrary conduct will soon bring
him down to his own level; and they will be as
happy TO get rid of him at Washington, as
they were Tejoiced in the public Offices in this
city.
Al proper lIIne WIZ SNOW, WITHOUT tne
fear Of contradiction, that Mr. Tyler, when he
FIST arrived at Washington TO assume the reins
Of Government. was decidedly and unequiro
caliy in favor of the charter ola United States
Bank-the proofs of which are in my hands;
statement of the remarks Of Mr. Tyler on that
subject, was drawn up by gentleman now a.
broad--it was left with me TO be used 10 de-
lend myself, il assaulted, as have been, by the
acting President. But il was not TO be made
public on any other occasion. In support Of
that statement my oath will be affixed. shall
further show who nominated him at Harris
bUrgh. SOL. VAN RENSSELAER,.
