From tks Madisoni0n. JOHN N. BOTTS.

and illustrated edition Of tho base faOrIca' l tions of this notorious individual. He is rep. resented as having charged the President pub licly in bis late electioneering campaign, as having said to him on the third day of the extra session.
 That he meant to be candidate, not only for four, but for eigM years from the 4th ot March, 45, thus making the whole term of his service twelve years and then
 That the President had offered him any office in his gift, provided he (Botts) would sustain him in his aspirations and then That he, John Minor Bolt, from this time ceased to visit the President.
 So far as the first specification is concern. ed, 'oe are authorized to sGy, that at the time of 1 which this invented conversation of MT. John Minor Bolts is said him to have occurred, the President had no intention of being q candidate for hs Presidency tn "A. The President was only prevented from introducing an annun- citation to this effect, in his Inaugural Ad- dress by considerations of great public weight, and would have made it in his sec. ond Veto message, # has Cabinet had not Wr- gently opposed t, upon the question being sol- emnly submitted to them.
 So far as the second specification is con- cerned, ,ce are authorized to sag, that the Pres. ident never made to Mr. John Minor Bolts any offer of any office, of any sort, or of any character, at any time or at any place, for any purpose or object whatever. And,
 So far as the third specification is concern ed, ,ce are authorized to sag, that so far from Mr. John M. Bolts having ceased to visit the President from and after the third day of the extra session he repeatedly called at the White House, until he pursued course which precluded the President from having f,,r1h nsoo% xn,sih snn hot transaction was this During the pendency before the Senate of Mr. Clay's Bank bill it was ascertained that Messrs. Merrick, Pres- ton, Rives and Archer, would not sustain it without the insertion of such modification us would reconcile it with the constitutional scruples of the President, and with their op- position it stood in minority. At thus june. ture of affairs Mir. John Minor Bolts called upon the President, with paper purporting to be an amendment, which he said had been drawn up by himself, and thought would re. move all difficulties upon the subject of a nunk. After exac'ing from MT John Minor Bolts the positive assurance that 1T tne amendment did not meet n,s anorooatlon T.. should be destroyed and never more heaTr1c of, the President took it and examined it and instantaneously rejected it, with the emphat. ic declaration that he would inevitably veto any bill containing such clause. Where upon, MT. John Minor Bolts reiterated his promise to destroy it and retired. The Pres- ident thought no more of the matter until a. few days afterwards, when the Whig press was filled with laudalions of Mr. Bolts for having fallen upon this very expedient and MT Clay subsequently, offered it in the Sen. ate Chamber, substantially. if not literally. as an amendment to this bill The treach- cry in the conduct of MT. John Minor Bolts became so apparent, that the President ever afterwards refused to hold any intercourse with him either by word or in writing.
 The charges of MT. Bolts reminds us of one which he made against the President at an early period of the contest between Mr. Tyler and the ultra Wings. The Hon. gen. tleman @ then stated, that while Mr: Tyler was at Browns Hotel acting as President of Genel al Harrison, he waited upon Mir. Tyler at his rooms in company with another gen. tleman, and Mir. Tyler did then and there to them declare himself in favor ofa Bank of the United States. We have never, by au. thority, denied this charge before-but toe are nOU authorized 10 sGy, that Mr. Bolts, m making such declaration. affirmed wEat was false in every particular.

 The above article, which originally ap- peared in the Madisonian. the official organ of Mr. John Tyler, and which has just come to my notice through the Richmond Star, having been published by the authority of, if not written by, the individual who occu- pies the elevated post of acting President of the United States, would, from the position at my hands, as would neither pay to him as man, nor to the channel through which his communication is made.
 In the reply which am about to make, l shall confine myself to simple statemen: of facts, avoiding as far as can every thing like vi,uperation and abuse, beyond that which may be embodied in the simple expression of my reason for it, which is, that have long since held him, as nineteeD.twentieths of his country men hold him, indeed all but his purchased parasites, an hired stipendia.ies, as too de- graded and contemptible, and sunk too low, in all the atlributes that adorn the character of pentfeman to entitle him to rise to the dignity of abuse-for am not one of those who think that high station can confer either dignity. responsibility or credibiiity on an unworthy man. But l am not littl :, gratified that the opportunity has at length been afforded by this hard wrung and reluc- tant denial, to make known to my friends throughout the country, the occasion and the cause of my first denunciation of Mr. Tyler. on the floor of the House of Representatives. as a Traitor to his party and his country, and of entertaining a design to crush the power of the Whigs, who had elevated him ~G.. ..I an h,aild nm q inaaAsr ffar hinaseli
