Mr.. Botts was acquainted with the precise
occurrences on that occasion, as stated above,
and still he could refer to it in public speech
as bringing discredit upon President Tyler
Perhaps the gentleman winked al the proceeding
because he was again g an situation TO De ben
cited by the treuchery" AS far as this charge
is concerned, we leave him in the hands of his
countrymen.
Again, Mr.. Bolts says, in his speech of the
lOl! September, 1S4l:
"The Senate had called upon his own Secretary
for plan, and a proja was accordingly submitted
But the Senate not adopting ii, inserted IN another bill
a compromise clause with the express end and aim Of re-
conciing the President TO the BILL yet that very clause
made the preext for returning il with his Veto"
The reader will here see that MIR. Bots dis
tinctly asserts that ga compromise clause ieds
inserted for the cypress end and aim ofrecon-
cling tho President 10 the bill" Now we
ment 1t was called "Botts' amendment"
This very PAPER was broughtupto the President,
we said few weeks since, by Mr. Bolts, and
emphaticdHy rejected by the President as
''contemptble subterfuee, behind which he
would not skuk y and yet Mr. Bolts suffered it
to be bruited forth by the Baltimore Patriot and
other journals, that he had fallen upon a com
. | uyl,ic hal mat rho obuJi the
President and would reconcile all d lftrences in
The Wing party on the Bank question:" He
moreover, with his knowledge of the fact 1 at
the President had rejected it, permitted Mr.
Clay to offer il in the Senate, and afterwards,
voted for il himself, in the House, wien the bill
came there; and then became furious because
the President did not approve the bill. But it
was offered, says Mr.. Bolts, for the express pur-
pose Of meeting the views of the President
What does Mr.. Clay say upon Offering that
amendment TO The Senate on July 9Th, 1871?
"The Wing Senators have not looked beyond the
Senate do net knotc hare not sought and do not irish
10 knor, the opinion of the Chief OF coordinate
branch of this Government in respect to this PROPOSE
ton and, according TO the amendment, there
four in which Offices Of discount and deposite
may he established"
lie enu.nerates three, and then says
In the fourth place Congress shall require such
offices TO be established wherever il deems it neces-
sary and proper"
q declared that
He could not how such an amendment could
do away with constitutional sertpies the subject"
Nor could any one else, after looking at
the fourth clause. But Mr.. Clay distinctly
says he does no. know aud does not
want TO know the opinion Of the Presi-
dent in the matter" How then, MIR. Bolts,
could the amendment have been offered 10 meet
the wishes and views of the President On
this point we leave YOU, sir, in the hands of your
counlymen. 10 your letter of the, ienth you
admit that the President did reject it at your
interview with him /; but 10 excuse yourself on
say "you did not mention the fact TO Mr. Clay"
thereby admitting that you deceived him and
the Wing party.
But we find il an endless task to search o,t
all the contradictions and false assertions which
Mr.. Bolts has made in the last two years. Il is
like pilirg ossa upon Pelion. We shall now
hastily glance over his letter Of the 10Th May
last.
10 the hrst place he involves himself in pal
psble conradcton-for he swears hatthe Pre-
sident designed maintaining his seat for
tUeire years in The Erecutire Chair, and
that he attempted 10 bride him (Botts) pih
office for his support in this design !, and in
the next breath he says ne President urged
upon him The support Of Mr.. Webster for
The purpose Of making him (V,bster) 1.-THE
STRONG MAN or the SouTH FOR THE PREsIpEN.
cY IN OPPOSITION TO Mr.. CLAY"
! In the second place Mr. Bolts swears that the
Pre- ijenl "nerer made IN good faith a pr,
