THE S EC R ETA It Y OF WAR
The Charge of Per
Character Established.
If any thing was needed to hold up the
name of JAWS M . Porter in infamy in
this community, %%here he played the
Jeffries on the Bench, to the extent of his
capacity, we should have it now in our
power to do so. But he is so well known
onr citizens, that the exhibition of any
more of his evil characteristics is unneces
riry. Yet the position which he occupies
in the eyes of the nation, render it pro-
per that his deeds should be held up to
the public gaze, that they may see a true
portrait of the man whom Capt. Tyler
has placed in the honorable position of
Head of the War Department.
Our readers will recollect that some
time in December or January last, pro
ceedings were instituted in Philadelphia
to test the validity of the appointment of
11'm. A. Porter, the son of the Governor,
%thorn he had appointed Sheriff, as it was
alleged, not only against the loudest re
monstrance' of the people of all political
parties, but against the very provisions of
the Constitution itself, it being believed
that the Governor's son had not been a
citizen of Philadelphia long enough to re
ceive the commission legally.
On the 9th of February last, on motion,
the Court of Common Pleas of Philadel
phia granted a rule for the taking of de-
positions in the case, and on the 15th of
February, James M. Porter, the newly
appointed Secretar of War, appeared
before Alderman Binns, and made an affi
davit, from which we extract the following
—the other parte of it not bearing upon
the main point in view; and which we
copy from the Pennsylvanian:
Commonwealth on the re-) In the
Lition of the Attorney f Common Pleas

William A. Porter. i
James M. Porter, a witness produced,
affirmed and examined on behalf of the'
respondent. Wm. A. Porter is my ne
phew; he read law with me about six
weeks before he graduated at Lafayette!
College; he commenced reading law un
der my direction. From the 9th March,
T. 839, until about the Ist of October, 1839„ 1
he was not in my office except occasion•
ally, as he then boarded and had his room !
in the college. From about the latter ,
time until the 101.11 of O.:tuber, 1841, he
was in my office as my other students
were, end during that time boarded at
Mrs. O'Conner's hotel, in Easton. lie
left Easton about a week alter the general
election in 1841, to come to Philadelphia to
take up his permanent residence in the city
of Philadelphia. In the month of April,
1842, during the sitting of our Courts, he
came up to Easton and stated to me, that
according to the rules of court, he could
nut be admitted in the city of Philadelphia.
I think lie said that the rule required that
the last year's reading should be in the
city. I STATED TILE
STANCE TO JUDGE BANKS, the
President of our Court, and asked him
whether our rule of court to tho same of
feet visa inflexible. lIE STATED TO
ME, NO: that the rules of court were for
the purpose of preventing the admission of
improper persons ; and where they knew a
gentleman as they knew life. Porter, they
had no objection to appoint aaminers.—
Accordingly, on the 221 id of April, 1842,
I filed a certificate, a copy of which is
hereto annexed, and on toy motion the ex
aminers were appointed, and the next day.
on the report of the examiners, he was ad

I always understood he was to prose
cute the pleas of the Co tumoc.wealtli. as
Roun as he could be admitted. I had, Irom
au early period of his studying with me,
been instructed by his father to sitap: binl
course of studies with a view to practi
sing in the city of Philadelphia, and ac
cordingly had directed his attention more
to commercial law, than I had my other
students.

He graduated the latter part of the
month of September, IEI3O. I do not know
how old Mr. Porter is at thls time, only
by hearsay. 1 have understood he was
the latter part of April or be inning of
May, 1E142. I have no knowledge of my
~wn au the subjec.t. The rule of court at
Lagoa, 1 think, requires that the last
ear's study should be in the office of an

was anitnitted, having been taken sick im

The certificate of no lawyer of Philadel

that occasion. Immediately after his

mission, he returned to Philadelphia.—

he was in Philadelphia, but placed himself

It is the practice of the gentlemen of the

3.M. PORTER.
Affirmed, ermined and subscribed,
Fcbrualy 21, 1E143, Wore
JOHN BINNS, Alderman,
By the above it appears that James NI,
Porter, the present Secretary of War,
swears that he knew that Wm. A. Porter,
removed to Philadelphia in October,lB4l,
for the pur pose of making it his perma
nent residet.ce ; and at the same time, it
seems that lie was a resident of North
ampton county when he wished to be ad•
milted to the bar of that county:
The Pennsylvanian, in remarking up
' on this transaction, very justly says, "the
whole affair is marked by a species of
trickery, which, though entirely in char
;
I acter with its author, is yet altogether un
worthy of an honorable man. Did J. M.
Porter consider W. A. Porter a student in
his office from October, 1641, to April,
1842, as the rule of court required, or did
he not? That the mere fact of W. A.
Porter's absence or residence in Philailel.
I phia was not regarded by J. NI. Porter at
the time as such an abandonment of hi.
I l residence in Northampton that it might
not subsequently be reclaimed without
detriment, appears from the circumstance
of his still continuing to detect the young
gentleman's studies during the period, and
by the application to have hint admitted
at the end of the term. Judge Batiks'
testimony would probably set this right.
11J. M. Porter did really inform him that
Win. A. Porter was an actual resident of
Philadelphia at the time he was applying
for admission as an attorney, no further
doubt of the fact ought to be entertained :
but ifJames M. Porter did not so inform
IJudge Banks, but induced him to believe
that the residence in Philadelphia was
only, temporary or casual, and that his
permanent residence continued to be
Northampton county, it may justly be
supposed that the whole story of the Phil
adelphia residence, beginning in October,
1841, was but an after•thought to qualify
the Governor's son for the Sheriflally of
Philadelphia.
" Leaving these points for such eluci
dation as time and circumstances may
bring about, we may say that the whole
affair of this appointment, whether legal
or illegal, was one of the greatest outrages
upon propriety and the feelings of the
people ever attempted in this country.—
Even in our state of colonial vassalage if
George 111. had sent out a boy—some
sprig of nobility, just escaping from his
teens—to fill an office of the highest im
portance in New York, Bosten or Phila
delphia, the public would justly have re
garded it as an insult, and as affording
ample ground fur complaint. But it is a
little too much for patience when a Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, elected by the
votes of the citizens of the State, and who'
should hold his office for their benefit
alone, takes it upon himself to send hi,
son, just from school, to act as High Sher.
iff to a city and county containing near
three hundred thousand inhabitants. NO
despotic monarch ever sported more un
blushingly with his public duties to pro
mote his private ends, than does Davie
Rittenhouse Porter; and when his term of
office expires, he will retire from the Ex
ecutive chair followed by the coutempto
ous hisses and undissembled scorn of the
community."
The Easton Argus, a decided Locofocn
paper, publishes the affidavit, with a de
vial of the main fact, respecting the ad
mission of Win. A. Porter, charging PER.
JURY upon James M. Porter, in the fol.
lowing unequivocal manner: The Argus
says:

and that there is evidence to any amount

of our court commenced on Monday, the

Comment is unnecessary. If this does
not blast the character of the Secretary of
War, then indeed are times changed.—

man—with a father to give him office in

We need not add one word to the above;
it is full and complete, and charges false
swearing or perjury upon Tyler's Secre•
tary of 'War, in the plainest language.—
We hope that the disposition of Judge
Banks will be procured, that the true char
acter of James M. Porter may go before
the nation, in a shape that cannot be con•
iroverted by the statements or bluster of
so reckless and unprincipled a man.

it will soon be able to resume its regular

the credentials so creditable as those of a

God and man, we are happy to believe
that such instances are rare; and the very
feelings manifested against the wretch,
show how abhorrent is his crime, not only
as against the family injured, and society
in general, but as proceeding from one
whose office gave him access to the do

caused the death of his victim's father,
and the insanity of her mother. We do
not know that the creature had even the

GEN. SOL. VAN RENSSELAER, late Post
master at Albany, (removed by Tyler)
appears by card in the Albany Daily in
inswer to the imputations cast on his ofli
cial conduct in the Aurora. Ile adds that
he was present at a conversation, in May.
1840, between John Tyler and Silas E.
Burrows, in which the latter spoke of a'
letter he once received how President
Monroe maintaining the constitutionality
of a National Batik, which Mr. Tyler de.,
iired to see, and Mr. Burrows handed it
o him. A conversation ensued on the
iropriety of creating such a Bank, which
Gee. V. R. will publish in due time. He
closes with the following interesting re
miniscence :
At the Harrisburg Convention of De
cember, 1859, on the morning alter Gen.!
Harrison had been nominated for Presi
dent, the New York delegation, of which
was a member, were assembled by them
selves and were considering the question
of a candidate for Vice President, when
1 joined them. As I entered the room,
one of them observed they were waiting.
for me ; that as the Convention had uni-
Ited so harmoniously on my nomination for
President, they wished me to nominate a
Vice President also.
I rt that I e,1.1 net with (c !Fin,
candidate, but that I should join them in
.ny oi,e they would be pleased to preseni,
fins my col leagus declined, and , a,gain
me to (SA' a nomination. 1 then said
('That if such was their wish, 1 would mum
several individuals from whom they could
make their choice; sod accordingly I
presented the names of John Tyler, Gov.
Owen, of North Carolina, and juhn Bell,
of Tennessee. They still declined making
the selection, and wished me to designate
the candid...le. 1 then ranted John Puler,
and he was unanimously accepted. lie
was on the ground and knew what course
I had tilken. hail I designated either of
the Other two gentlemen named, lie would

May God and my countrymen pardon
my grievous error in this matter, which 1
shall never cease to deplore. But I did
it for the best. 1 had served in Congress
with him, in years gone by, and then I
deemed him an honorable man and at
Virginia was nearly balanced, 1 hoped the
nomination of my amiable friend Might
incline the scale in our favor.

Such is a brief . statement of the manner
in which John Tyler obtained his nomina
tion. Bow previously he has deceived
and disappointed expectation, the whole
country can testily. But retribution is
drawing nigh, and the token cunnut be
mistaken. A lower fall awaits him than
,has overtaken any public 111311 e ho has
