In consequence Of indispostion, am Obliged to
close, with this letter. my correspondence with the
blsdisonian. ! voluntarily commenced il, and have
kept it up with much satisfaction to myself, IL il has
not been gratifin you. My object originally was
to render myself useful 10 this Administration and
10 YOU and to advocate and defend President Tyler,
a man who, considered as a statesman and gentle
man-as one Of the noblest of the great spirits and
GOOD and brilliant Of the nation is entitled to
the homage and the admiration Of his countrymen.--
The country will yet do him justice, and the hiso-
rian will record the events OF his Administration
among the most evenfn and important, aud brilliant
in the annals of the nation.
During the period he has held the Office to which
he was exalted by the DEGREES of Almighty God and
the SURFACES Of the American People, he has been
as,aled with the venom of malice unexamped, and
no effort has been wanting the part of his unprin
cpled foes to arnsh his fame and destroy his efforts
to promote and perpetuate his country's good And
why has this war of malice and vengeance been
wased against him The reply is brief and at hand
Because he dared discharge the duties of his station
in compliance with the will Of the People--because
he would not violate his OATH and his conscience, to
propitiate the mad and towering ambition of MIR.

ton of the country from the hands Of those who
would destroy that already blurred and insulted In
strumentto eturn it once more to the possession of
the PEoPLE-to hold it safe from the hands Of ag-
gresson and hand it down to posterity as their birth
right and their bulwarkas the strong tower OF their
defence--he has exposed himself to the oboquy and
the malice of the foe but, thank God, he has thus
far survived, and will continue to survive the shafts,
the falsehoods, the detraction, and the ncendlary
designs of his enemies God and his country are
with him.
rejoice that it has been my good fortune to advo-
cate such man and, in other days-if I live
when the present shall become the past, and
when the incidents, connected with my earlier
life, shall have assumed the garb of "reminiscences,
shall rejoice and boast that was one of the de-
fenders-one of the humblest most assuredly--of
the Administration of the good and great President
Tyler.
1t has been my fortune to be much abused since
commenced this correspondence. ! expected it at
the outset, and have not been disappointed. That
abuse has inflicted no other pain on me than what
realized by beholding others libelled and outraged,
because they suspected to be the authorof these
letters

what am. | can tell them, however, one thing.

to be slave, and too long practised in the field of
