WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. 18th, lS43

To HE Editors ofMe NJ Y. Express:
GENTLEMEN: Your correspondent in this CITY in
his letter Of the 9th inst. sorry say has done
Mr.. John Tyler, Jr., great injustice in what he has
stated IN relation to the distribution or Abell's
life of the President. SO far from Mr. TYLER hay-
ing sanctioned any such letter as that said to have
been addressed by Mr.. Abel to some unknown per-
son, | know that he strictly enjoined it upon Mr.
Abel that he should leave the matter entirely open
with those whom he might address, and not in any
manner endeayor to coerce any one TO subscribe or
TO dictate the manner in which he should promote the
distribution Of the work; but that every one should
be left free, entirely free without compulson to pur-
that course which his feelings and Judgment
should suggest | know MIR. Tyler well enough to
state that he would never have authorized Mr. Abel
to write such letter as that published by YOU In
fact, know that Mr.. Tyler far from This enjoin-
ed itupon Mr.. Abel, before he would allow his name
to be used for the promotion Of his wishes that
neither politics the Administration were to be in
any way connected with the matter.
Mr.. Abel pledged himself that he would in no
manner commit Mr.. Tyler or The President, but tina,
he oEly desired the influence which the name of Mr.
Tyler might possibly exert over the distribution OF
the work. among the friends of the President in his
(Mr. A.s) behalf as an. author. If Mr.. Abel has
written this letter, it was without the knowledge of
Mr. Tyler; you will see from Mr.. Tyer's letter 10
Mr. Kennedy, the only addressed by him at all,
how entirely above improper motives he is pre-.
scented.
II is not unreasonable that Mr. Tyler should feel
some interest in connection with his father and the
personal abuse which has been so unsparngiy heap
ed upon him, and consequently such letter as that
addressed by him to Doctor Kennedy cannot be ob
jected to-
cannot believe that you would do Mr.. Tyler, or
any else act ofwllful injustice, and therefore
you will MOI hesitate thus to repair the breach which
you have made.
Finally, would ask you, 'if not impertinent, in
what manner the life Of Mr. Van Buren, or that
of MIR. Clay circulated" among the people, unless by
the friends Of those gentlemen. c. r. w

Some difference had previously existed be-
tween Mr. Clay and Mr.. Calhoun, in conse-
quence ofwhich they had not spoken to each
other for several years; but after the above
beEediction was pronounced land while Mr..
Clay was leaving the Senate he was met by
Mr. Calhoun-they both simultaneously ex-
tended their hands, rushed into each others
arms. and with tears in their eyes, without
/ utterin0 a word, their p9rsUnal friondeh p
was renewed The Senate was unable
| that day to proceed to business, and Colonel
! Preston, of South Carolina, moved an ad-
iournment which was carried unanimously.
! This was striking epoch of the Lsgisla-
| tive history OF this country, and the feeling
experienced by those who witnessed this
scene cannot be described. 1t was then that
the noble independent character of Henry
Clay triumphed, and it was then that the
voice of his calumniators was hushed. Ii
was a triumph of mind and of principle, ov
er selfishness and ambition. 1t was then
that the great Statesman Of the West stocd
ERECT before his couutrymen, and laid
his motives before that Being who alone is
capable Of searching the. human heart. Il
was then that the hopes of the people were
fixed upon him as the only man competen

perity. Ii was then that the threatening
cloud was broken, and the earnest OF bet

HENRY CLAY-HlS VALEDICTO
RY, AND HIS POSITION

Perhaps during the eventfuI public ca
reer of Henry Clay, his noble character
was never so oconspcuously and impressive
Nv exhibited as on the occasion of his volun-
tary retirement from the Senate of The Uni
ted States on the 3 list day March, 1912
Every one seemed to regard it as a memoir
able event in the history of this Republic
patty discussion was spended-crowds of
people thronged the avenue which led to
Senate Chamber, TO listen to the last speech
in his Senatorial capacity OF the Great
Statesman of the West. who had for so long
a period, stood as an untiring Sentinel on the
watch tower Of freedom. Ii was an occa
sion eminently calculated TO call into action
all his noble powers. and to stay the calum-
MES ofpolitical opponents. Ii was on that
morning that he, before his co-laborers in
the cause of the country, and in the pres
ence Of an immense multitude. pronounced
that remarkable valedictory which shall go
down to future generations as the inspira-
zion ola patriotic heart. His voice alone
was heard for all else was silent as The
chamber of the dead: For more than thir'
" years with short intervals, had he occu-
pied n seat in that House During that
long period, notwithstanding the difficulties
and opposition with which he was compell-
cd to contend had he enjoyed, BY universal
consent, the appellailon of the "great Pacifi-
Gator" and to him had the country looked
as the only man capable of extricating her
irom The dangers to which she had been ex-
posed. True, his acts had drawn down up
on him the censure of a portion of his fel-
low-ciIizens but few. if any. ever doubted
ne purity OF his motives. On the occasion
alluded to he said -
My acts and public conduct are fair
subject for the criticism and judgment OF my
lellow-men but the private motives by
which they have been prompted, are known
only to the Great Searcher of the human
heaTt and to myself and trust may be
pardoned tor repeating declaration made
'h'steea yeats ago. that, whatever errors
Sad doubtless there have been nmany-may be
