DEAR Sir: have already told you that am
Locofoco, and am not the less so, because
most heartily approve the two Bank vetoes OF
the President, because am in favor of Bank
rupt law, and of the present, rather than none,
and because believe the late Treaty with Great
Britain is a most beneficial and patriotic one,
conferring great and enduring good upon this
nation.
| do not propose TO review the Treaty. hold,
that. under all the circumstances, 1t is the very
best that could have been made, and that that
treaty or war was the only alternative
NV present design is TO devote a few moments
to a very brief view Of the relation 10 it of two
prominent agents in efecting 1.-THE President
and his Secretary of State, who, Of course,
was his chief adviser, and through whom he
acted, and to whom, with himself if there had
been failure in the negotiation or bad treaty,
all the odium would have fallen so, the Treaty
being productive of great good, 10 them belongs
the credit
How does Mr.. Tyler stand related to it II is
said he looks to an election to the Presidency in
"a. If so, how more effectualy could he have
secured that end, than by defeating the Treaty,
destroying all amicable relations, and involving
us in war with Great Britain IL he had in
voked the war spirit in The hearts of his coun-
trymen, if he had proclaimed through the land
the call to arms, how would all hearts and
voices have united in his b balf, in sustaining
him in his effort to prosecute just, successful
and a glorious war Party spirit would have
been banished amid the com non danger, and
the fiend, faction, would have been laid by the
common feeling Of patriot brotherhood, that
would have animated every heart; whilst grar-
ping with foe so willy and so dangerous, all
intestine discussions would have been healed,
and domestic strife would have b en- lulled to
rest How trumphantly, under such circum-
stances, would Mr. Tyler have been ushered
into the Presidency Of IA, as the Executive Of
the Nation striving for its success in the great
conflict.
| But peace was the great interest Of the coun-
try, and to this, as the high minded and disin-
terested patriot, he looked and for this he la
bored with most singular and happy sue
cess Instead Of war TO make Mr.. Tyler
President in 13is, we have peace and
all its blessings; and we have MIR. Tyler

ces, and disdainng even the certainty OF
the Presidency in 1914, if the condition were
the injury and suffering Of his country. Yes,
he effected the Treaty, and brought us the I'M
numbered blessing Of peac without dishonor,
and left the result to the good sense, the sound
determination, and the exalted patriotism Of
bis countrymen.
