Ltar Sir; In answer to your question upon 'the
cause Of my leaving the party to which had been at
ched so long" shall have to be more prolific thann
answering questions upon business. &C. You are a.
wareihat in 1886 and 40 voted for General Harrison
and the whig ticket did this because believed the
principles Of Gen Harrison as expressed in his letters
speeches, &c. were democratic and that the party then
in power were enormous exravagant in governmental
affairs and that change absolutely necessary to
the well being Of the country. These impressions or
this belief was not the result the calm and careful in
vestgalioD, but arose from listening to TIE SPEECHES Of
one side Of HE question Oaly My attention. as you
know was directed to the acquisition Of knowledge Of
different Kind and any subject apart from my studies,
received but little attention The expression OF words,
such as Democratic Aristocratic Monopolies Charter
ed Privileges, &c. had no charm for me compared with
such as centrifugal cennipeta single and double evec-
tive affinity &c. The first time my attention was ar
rested 10 politics was when the universal whig party
pronounced an anathema against Capt. John Tyler for
veloiug the Bank Bill Myimpression at the time was
that the party had previous to the election discamed
all intention on their part Of seeking heestabishment of
any such institution and So their dennciations were
uncalled for and unjust. Not feeling disposed to con-
denim Tyler nnjusty, commenced search for the pa
pers of 40 and found Gen. Harrisons speech at Day
ion in which he said he believed the Bank unconstitu
tiona | found Tom Ewing's letter to L. D. Barker of
Morgan county, in which be denies any intention on
the part Of the whigs 10 make that question. also
found the letter written by Gen. Harrison in 1922 at
Cincinnati together with an account Of an attempt made
by him, John Tyler and Others in 1919, in Congress TO
take fros the then existing bank its charer-decding it
unconstitutional; also the reiterated ayovas Of the Gen
eral that his opinions had not changed on that questions
that The never had any thing to do with banks but once
and then they cheated him." &c. Aher reviewing all
these declarations Of 40 on the part Of the wings, that
they did not wish Bank, thought it very strange that
President Tyler should be condemned for endeavorng
tohod them 10 their promises But the strangest thing
TO me was that afler having written the letter to Mr.
Barker, TO which you will please refer) denying the
the Bank question TO be in issue, Tom Ewing should
be so inconsistent to resign his seat in the Cabinet
because he could not succeed in convincing the Captain
that the question had been decided upon by the people
Now my dear FELLOW, just look for moment on that
letter {keeping invew the opinions expressedby Har
risen, Tyler, &c. and also that Henry Clay was not
taken up a, the Harrisburg Convention, being the |
known advocate of National Bank, and review Ew-
ings course in the Cabinet in relation4o the Bank bill;
can any caAdd man say that he acted consistently in
stating that the bank not In issue before the election
and almost Immediately after the event resigning his
seat in the Cabinet because the Bank bill was veoed?-
| think not Wen, these matters stumped me, and
thought so faE as the bank was concerned Tyler was
whig and that his opponents had "ef The party" could
Jy wilhhe declarations Of the party made during the
canvass In referring 10 The Votes in the House and
Senate, found, however that "he party" en- mass vo
ted for the Bill. Here was another stumper The
question then asked myself was, lst. Are the wings
in favor OF National BankT Ans Yes. Cd. Am
in favor that measure? Ans. do not know much
abouta Through the aid ofmy brotheI-in-la%, pro-
cured books papers &C., on the subject and after la
boous investigation found that in opposition to
my ideas Of Democracy and the genas Of our Govern
ent-being calculated 10 baid up and foster classic

that GGovenmenis were Instituted for the benefit Of the

Constitution werereseel nthe States and people res
pectively" Consequently could not go with the wings
on that question
The Tariff Bib was passed, and as Twas of opinion
that the wings repudated Protection in 4O thought
would investigate that subject. found that General
Harrison had repeatedly declared himself in favor OF
the Compromise Ae and in opposition to any alteration
or change Of il whatsoever. He pledged himself to
religious observance OF that act at Buffalo, and in lei
fer written to- Mr. Doser and Others Of this place. he
pressed the same opinion TO which refer you. also
