untrammelled except so far as may be gathered from
your public and official acts

To which is appended this remark:

If | had ever SAID that Mr. Webster "per Sc had
committed Mr.. Tyler TO Bank, and he denied 1t,
then question of veracI,y might be raised between

did say, on the Saturday before The Veto sent in,
(Which was on Monday, the l6h) that he would

| am glad Mr.. Tyler has thought proper to publish
tn letter, speaks volumes, think, for my dlsln
teresedness. standing the relation did to that Ad-
mnisraton, that they should have nothing stronger
TO produce against me, than that had asked for one
poor young man, Of all my numerous relatives, an
humble Cerkshp consideration of his having or

An that would have cheeIfully performed for any

Mr.. Tyler says in conclusion
CDR John T. Semple and Col John Arn.:stead of
"Ymgina, assert, that they both dned with Mr. Bolts
the Presidents after the third day of the Extra
Session, and that the conversation turned upon the
Bank, and Bolts remarked to the Presdent-'l know
" we'll your constitutional scsupes the subject,
" and will not be the 10 th~art embarrass
you.
MIR Tyler publishes nothing from either of these gen.
tlemen and do choose to take his word that they
said so | have no recollection of ever seeing Colonel
John Armisiead Mr.. Tyler's in my life. think |
did meet with DR.. Semple there once and perhaps II
might have been the last day | dned with him
but such conversation passed then any other time
the day held the conversation with him, that
has been already published, whether the third, the
fifth the day Of the Extra Session, altogether
immateral; and 1t that day he had complained
TO me OF my being hard TO satisfy (~hen expressed
wish that he had recomme nded Bank of The u. ).

sideration of Congress three plans and had told US To
take a choice, and he would be satisfied. How then
could have talked about my knowledge oil his con-

in Washington at the time, told he thought was
mistaken, To being the third day of the session
which dined with Mr. Tyler. His impression was
that 1t later in the week possibly, he may have
been right, though thought then and think now he
is mistaken; but is not material thing is abso
lutely certain: never dned there and never in.

took place.
And now, that have answered all Of this most Ii
bellous and mendacIous production, that has ndi
vdua application me, let up the sum and see
what is the loss and gam each side. Mr. Tyler has
circulated extensively IN pamphlet form and through
the columns Of of the public prints, that have
been liberal, unjust and uumanly enough 10 publish
his poison, who haze and never will give place
to the antidoe that ! send after IT., and that
tent may BE- the loser in the estimation OF some
good men, who have of arriving at the
TRUTH but while this may be LEGS TO me, 1t IS no gam

On the other hand, he has been detected and ex.

looked for IN the lowest hauns Of vice. and which
must make every man, sensitive Of his own honor,

This is his loss what has been my gain? Why the
fact and 10 proud one) has been made manifest,
that with the host of sycophants, toodeaers and lick
spttle slaves, that his station and power calculated
to draw around him. all eagerly hunting after whatever
might be calculated detrac, from the character and
reputation of gentlemen, they have been able 10 find
nothing that have not brushed away with as little
