lawyer. 'You have both allowed

in the present case. Two angry,

no such thing. It is the reply to that

o idea of allowing you, in the present
tate of your mind, to write such a one
i . .. . . r
s will most assuredly defeat an arnica-;
ilc arrangement.'
Singleton paused for some time, bo
ore making a reply. He had been for
ome time forming in his mind a most
ulting and bitter rejoinder to the letter
ust alluded to, and he was desirous that
Sir. Williams should have the benefit of
nowing that he thought him a 'tricky
md deliberate scoundrel,' .with other
pituons of a similar character. He
bund it, therefore, impossible to make
ip his mind to let the unimpassioned
Mr. Trueman write this most important
;pistle. 'Indeed I must write this let
er, Mr. Trueman,' he said, 'there are
iome things that I want to say to him,
hat I know you won't write. You
.lon't seem to consider the position in
which he has placed me by that letter,
nor what is obligatory upon me as a
man of honor. 1 never allow any man
to reflect upon me, directly or indirect
ly, without a prompt response.' 'There
is ia the Bible,' said Mr. Trueman, 'a
passage peculiarly applicable to the pre
sent case. It is this, A soft answer tur-
neth away wrath, but grievous words

own and, as your legal adviser, you
must suoinit to my judgment, or 1 can
not consent to go on.' f I will pro
mise not to use any harsh hinuuntre
will you not consent to let me write the
letter? urged the client. 'You and I
in the present state of your mind, could
not come lo the same conclusion in
reference to what is harsh and what is
mild,' said Mr. Trueman, 'therefore I
cannot consent that you should write
one word ot tlie proposed reply. I must
write nv Y ell, J suppose tlien 1 shall
have to submit to it. When will it be
ready?' 'Come this afternoon, and I
will give yoa the draft, which you can
copy and sign."' .,
In die afternoon Mr. Singleton came
and received the letter prepared by Mr.
Trueman. It ran thus, after the date
and formal address: 'I regret that mv
proposition did not meet our approval.
The mode of settlement which I sug
gested, was the result of a careful con
sideration of our mutual interests. Be
kind enough to suggest to Mr. Trucman
my lawyer any plan which you think
will lead to an early and amicable ad-
justmcntof our business. You may rc-
Jy upon my consent to it if it meets his
approbation.' Is it possible Mr, True-
man that vou expect me to sifrn such a
cringing letter as that!' said Mr. Sin-'
gleton.throwing it down, -and walking
uaciavarils and lorwards, with great ir
ritalion of manner. 'Well what 'is your
objection to it?' replied Mr. Trucman.
mildly, lor lie was prepared for just such
an exhibition of feelinsr. 'Objection !
how can you ask such a question ? Am

lim steadily in the face. 'Of course I

know what you mean by an honorable
settlement.' 'Why I mean . The
young man hesitated a moment, and Mr.
rrueman said, 'You mean a settlement
in which your own interest shall be e
qually considered with that of Mr. Wil

'And that,' continued Mr. Truom.ni,
'Mr, Williams in the settlement, shall
consider and treat you ns a gentleman.
'Certainly, I do, but that is more than
he has done 'Well, never mind. Let
what is past go for as much as it is
worth. The principal point of action
is in the present.'' 'But I will never
send that mean, cringingletler, though.'
'You mistake its whole tenor, I do as
snre .you, Mr. Singleton. You have
allowed your "angry feelings to blind
you. You, certainly, carefully consi
dered, before you adopted it. the pro
posed basis of settlement, did you not V
'Of course I did.' 'So the letter which
I prepared for you, states. Now as an
honest and honorable man, you iire, I
am sure, willing to grant him the same
privilege which you asked for yourself,
viz : of proposing a plan of settlement.
Your proposition does not seem to
please him; now it is but fair that he
should be invited to state how he wishes
the settlement to be made. And in si-
such an invitation, a gentleman
should use gentlemanly language.' 'But
ic don't deserve to be treated like a gen
tleman. In fact, he has no claim to the
title,' said the young man. 'If he has
none, as you say, you proless to be a
gentleman, and all gentlemen should
prove by their actions and their words
that they arc gentlemen. '1 cannot
say that I am convinced by what vou
say ; but as you seem so bent on having
it your own way, why let nic copy the
thing and sign it,' said the young man,
suddenly changing his maimer. ' I here

saving :
Our ulterior purpose is tr transmit

Jm Tyler, President of the V. S.
We copy f am V e IV. Y. Sgntl, a judicious, wc!l
conducted, and neutral paper, the following para
K' l'. which we thii.k are entitled lo ro-pcctful
consider; tion. .
John Tyler, who, by a dispensation of Pro
vidence, lias beconio legitimate President of the
Tniled Stales, ia I liat've of thil same county of
Hanover in ngtnia, which gave birth to our lamen
ted Chief Magistrate. In his political faith and at
tachments ho is a democrat of the) old Jrfil-rsonian
school, oi;d wns one of Ihe most ellicicnt supporters
of the last, war i it the lower IIoum 6f Congress.
He has long ln tho fii. nd of Henry Ciay.'aud was
at the Hartisburg Convention one of the last who
consented to lite sub.ti ution ofaiiothur candidate
for the Presidency.
- In the Senile of the United Stales, Mr. Tyler
maintained a steady opposition to the measures of
the lite administration, until, in conformity with the
Vnginian t'oe'rine of instruction, he resigned his
seat. He ha.t however, in his recorded spcechrs ex
pressed himself opposed to the recharteriog of a
United States Bank, although il is believed that
his i piidous have und rgono some modification
apon i his su' j r.t within thu Inst two or three years.
Certain it id, he U decidedly opposed lo the sub.
treasury win me nnd to tho exercise of the veto pow
er by tho President. -
From bis personal appearance we should judge
thst Mr. Tyler wn about fifty years of sge He is
lull and slim in his figure, and strongly reminds one
of tho published liknosses of Patrick Henry. His
linir is Mill uiixilvcrcd, and his countenance ia indi
cative of munly frsiiknKSi, courtesy and amiability
of temper. His manners arc courtly and coidiul, and
his style of reception singularly gracious and pre
possessing In his demeanor as Yice Prcsid nt he
has been rcmaUably mxlest and unobtrusive, indi
caving no disposition lo inttir.ro in distributing the
offices, or to bias the judgment of the executive nnd
his Cabinet. IndeeJ, he has been nltnost wholly
overlooked by the managing politicians and leaders
at Washington, inasmuch ss hi pr.siiiu, apart frcra
the uulonkrd for contingency which has now called
him to Ihe White Housi, wns one of little more in
fluence than that of an ordinary Senator. Certain
peoplo will undoubtedly now be very active in at
tempts to mske up for their psst inattention.
Mi. Tyler is a fluent and graceful speaker, al
though in bis pesonal intercourse he is by no means
inclined to be garrulous. He ia unquestionably a
man of sterling abilities and good senso, and will
not be blinded anil moulded hy any man or act of
men. He Is in the full vigor of all his faculties, in
the prime nf lift-, without even the tense of s gln im
paired. We believe he will mako a good, patiiotic
nnd wise President.
Already some mo .nings have been riiscd by
certain cliques of politicians among us, because of
the fact lli.t Mr. Tyler is from the South of tho IV
111 eapacons embrace, and i-litl abiding always
rigidly with n tho boundaries of the Federal Con-
slitution. Such will, wo I el, eve, be the policy of

PUKSIDET TVZ.1S1V ADDRESS
To the People of the United Mattes.
Ffliow Ciiizkvs: Before my arrival at tho
Seat of Government the pninful communication was
made to you by the officers presiding over the sever
al Departments of the deeply regretted death of Wil
liam Henry Harrison, Inlc President of tho Un ted
Stales. I'ji in him you had conferred your suffra
ges for the first office in yot'r gift. and had selected
him as your chosen irrifruinr-lit to correct and reform
all such erring arid abuses rrs bad manifested ihcm
aelvcs from linn! to tltf.c in. the practical operation
of Government.. Whihi'suitJiogr'lt the threshold
of this gr'njt work, he, h ir. by tha dispensation of
an all wise Pro v id enc'n, breu iJliiovcd from amongst
us, and by the provisions ijf the constitution tho ef
forts to be'tt'trccfed 10 i&e accomplishing of this vi
tally important lusk have devolved upon myself.
This ssmc occurrence has subjected the wisdom and
sufficiency of our ins.itutions to a now tea'. For
the fmt lime in our history the person elected to tho
Vice PrcsiJ ency of the United Stales, ly Ihe hop
lining of a contingency provided for in the consiN
ration, has had devolved upon him tho Presidential
office. The spirit of faction, wliLli is directly or--puscd
to the sj.irit of a lofty p ibiotism, may find
in this, occai in f -tas nu'l j,i.n my a lin'mutr-lion.
Aud, in succeuJing under circumstances so suddti
& unexpected, and to responsibilities a j greatly aug.
mented,to the administration of pu'ilic affairs, I shall
place in the intelligence and patriotism of tho peo
ple my only sure reliance. My earnest prayer shall
be constantly addressed lo the all wiso and all pow
erful Deing who made me, nnd hy whose dispensa
tion I am called to the high office cf Picsidcnt of
this confedency, undcrstandingly to carry oul tho
principles of that constitution which I have sweru
to protect, preserve, and defend."
The usual oppotlunity which is nOhrdcd to a Chief
Magistrate upou his inductions to office of present
ing to his countrymen an exposition of the poucv
which wouM guide his administration, in the fo m
ofan inaugural address, not having, under the pecu
liar circumstances which have brought me to the i'i
charge of the high duties of President of tho Unit..!
States, been afforded to me, a brief exposition of tho
principles which will govern me, in the general
course of my administration of public a flairs would
seem to be due as will to mysrlf as to you. In re
gard to foreign nations, the ground work of my po!
icy will be juMice on our part to all, submitting l.
injuftice from none. While I shall sedulously cul
tivst the relations of peace snd amity with one rnl
all, it will he my most imperative duty to sea that
the honor of Ihe country, shall sustain no Urmish.
With a vi-w to thi, tho condition of our military
defences will become a matter of anxious solicitude.
The army, which has in i.ther days covered itself
with renown, and the Navy, not inappropri .tely
termed the right arm of the public defence, whiclt
haa spread a light of glory over the American st ui.!
ard in all the waters of the earth, t-hould hj rend
ered icplete with efficiency.
In view of the fact, well avouched by hinto v t'.st
the tendency of all human institutions is to concen
trate power in the hands of a single man, and t!j. it
ultimate downfall has proceeded from this Cau.e, t
deem it of the most essential importance that a en n
plete separation should take p'acc between thes'vo rl
and the purse. No matter where or Low the nub.
