The Trouble That Occurred Between Tyler and Congress, A FINANCIAL MEASURE. Planted the Seeds of Diseord—AN His Cab inct Resigned but Mr. Webster—The War Continued During the Entire Administra- tion—Tyler Killed the Whig Party for » Time. eee HE VERY INTER- esting article of your correspondent, Mr. Carpenter, recalls to my memory the turbu- lent period in the whig party which succeeded the death of Gen. Har- tison in 1841 and the occupancy of the Ex- ecutive Mansion by Mr. ‘Tyler. These incidents are impressed upon my memory from the fact that Ihad just entered the office of the Na- tional Intelligencer and became ~the instru- mentality by which Messrs. Gales & Seaton communicated with the leading whigs in the two houses of Congress. The first measure which planted discord between Mr. Tyler and his cabinet and Congress was the financial one, ‘The destruction of the United States Bank by Gen. Jackson and the failure of the financial experiments made during Mr. Van Buren's ad- ministration compelled a speedy retarn to something like the old bank, which would give a currency of universal value throughout the United States. The ‘pet banks,” as they were called, had failed to inspire confidence, and that failure und the financial troubles of ‘that period made one of the issues of the canvass which resulted in the defeat of Mr. Van Buren. The leaders of the whig party in Congress favored a return | to the United States Bank, with such rostrio- tious as would protect the finances of the coun- try and yield a curreney available throughout | the Union by the establjshment of branch banks in the various cities. A bill was pre- yared to that end, and passed both houses of Congress, which Mr. Tyler vetoed, to the sur- prise of the leaders of the party and his cab- Another bill was framed obviating the objections contained in the President's veto and passed the two houses Congress, but again it was met | ial veto, the objection of Mr. ‘Tyler being to the name of bunk in any finan- cial measure. Another bill was prepared in | which the obnoxious word and all resemblance to the old United States Bank, of which he | complained, eliminated, The bill pro- vided for a “fiscal agency” and was sub- mitted to the President, aud, it was understood, met his approval. HE WAR WITH CONGRESS. The veto of this men-ure called forth a letter from Mr. Ewing, the Secretary of the Treasury, in which he stated the last bill for the establish- | ment of a “iecal agency” had been drawn to meet the views of the President, and he had approved it before it was sent to Congress. All former objections upon which he had based hia ve.oes hud been removed. ‘The first intimation of this third veto camo froma publication in the New York Herald, ‘The grounds upon which the veto would be founded were there dis- closed before the message had been submitted to the cabinet or had been rent to Congress, The cabinet at once resigned, with the excep- tion of Mr. Webster, who was engayed in some negotiation which he desired to conclude.

Botts of Virginia, a vory prominent whig member of Congress, ina speech stated that Mr. Tyler, before the death of Gen, Har- rison, but when that event was feared, in reply im what he would do if nt about a United States bank, said he stood with Gen, Harrison on his Miami speech when Gen, Harrison said he would prefer some thor financial measure, but if Congress, fresh rom the people, passed a bill for the establish- ment of a bank be would approve it. ‘This wi said, as Mr. Botts stated, after they had gone to bed, both occupying the same room, and the New York Herald spoke of it as being said “un- der the same blanket.” Botts mado = very powerful speech on a resolution introduced for the impeachment of ‘I'yier, and the resolution secured a largo number of votes, Mr. Fillmore, the chairman of the ways and means commit- ig party, Mr. Ciay was particularly bitter on Tyler. Ina lotter written to Edgar Snowden of the Alexandria Gazette he said Tyler would retire from the presidency amid the scorn, the scoff and the jeers of the American people, and in Voting for the “fiscal agency” bill he saidhe pre- ferred the name bank, but “‘a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” The speeches in Congress at that time were filled with invective. Ido not think those made by the republicans against Andrew Johnson could equal them. The very flower of the whig party was in Congress, and some of the most famed debaters took partin the storm of olo- queuce which filled the old hall of representatives and Senate. Tylerkilled the whig party for the time, but in 1943 they railied on Gen, Taylor, and were again borne into power. In Mr, Peter Harvey's Momoirs of Mr. Web- ster he relates that y red Gen. Harrison's inaugural address, using pressious to Mrs. Seaton ou coming late to din- ner, that he had killed sundry proconsuls and Roman tmperore by striking them from the fr.

They seemed to all agree that the drunken man nearly always does know whut be is doing, provided, of course, that he is not mad with drink or suffering from delirium trem aman who is raising a row in bis d nd the ike P y is that he will become quiet at once. These remarks apply to the generality of drinkers. There are occasional men who in- dulge in the genuine alcoholic trance they talk and act with moderate or immoderate foolishness, as the case may be, and when they are sober remember nothing whatever about it. They are in a sort of hypnotic state and may say or do things which they would never thiak of saving or doing in a normal condition. These are the most unfortunate drinkers of all. for they must take the responsibility of the actions that they never intended to commit. “Are you happy when you are drank?” was asked of aman whose drinking spells aro not frequent but quite pronou: when they ne. “No,” ho said, “never, and for the simple reason that i knowJ am getting drunk. Iknow 1am injuring myself, know Tam making rome ople have a contempt for me and others jh at mo and kuow that when it is over I will punish myself most severely.” ‘Toon why do you ever get drank?” “ah, well, that's hard to tell, but I_never do it with premeditation. Sumetimes I am feol- ing tired, or perhaps worried, and I take that cup ‘that ought to cheer, but in reality merely postpones worriment and finally adds to it. From one glass go on to twoand more and then the jig is up and the jag is on.” SCME MEN DRIVEN TO DRINK. It may be, and not unfrequently is, some un- happiness that drives mea todrink, just as pain starts the morphine habit. A father loses his child and becomes a drunkard; a man is jilted by the woman he loves and drowns his grief and his strength of cliaracter at the same time, or he may fail in business and teke up the busi- news of drinking in consequence. dn tie last med case people will probably attribute his failure to the drink, whereas the failure caused the drinking. There is anothor cause of the habit of drinking. When a married man thinks that marriage isa failere he sometimes makes ita tatlure iu good earnest by adding drinking orrors. It is painful, but it is trae, that there are more married men than single men in the inebriate asylums, But suppose a tana never does get drunk, yet drinks euticiently to feel the effects and “have good time,” ise happy? He may bo, say the drinkers, to a moderate degree, but if he does it often he will be haunted by the consciousness that he is doing what he ought not to do. It was the great and tremendous Dr. Johnson Who, on two occasions, declared that no maa is ever happy except when he is drunk, but he must have referred toa very transitory bappi- nets and should anyhow have modified hisstate- ment 80 as to sey thatwome men are, perhaps, momentarily happy whon they ere getting drunk. Nobods can ever have observed a man who was really drunk without notjeing how ut- terly and hopelessly miserable be ta. it would be as reasonable to suppose such = man really happy as to believe that a poor sailor is com- fortable when his ehip is rolling and pitching in astorm atsea. The mivery of the poor exilor is the less of the two, for the one is suffering through no fault of his own whereas the other has self-condenmation added tothe burden he is supporting. DRUNK OVER SIX THOUSAND TIMES, It was once the fortune of the writer to live fora fow months in one of the most booming towns of the far west, and while there he had a good opportunity to observe the mayor of the city. He was a handsome, florid fellow, at least six feet high, with a pleasant amilo and dig- nity of carriage that would have done credit to any drum major, but he was good natured and genial, and drum majors seldom are. Now, this mayor had his weaknesses, as all of us have, but his was the weakness of drinking. Every morning before breakfast the mayor took s drink of whisky, and this wasas necessary to him as the breakfast that followed it. Then he went to his ofice and the number of drinks he took during the balance of the day depended upon the number of drinking men who came to his ofice. If these were few there wage always some—the mayor was simply in a pleasant con- dition all day; if they were numerous—and they generally were—tho mayor was drank by 4 o'clock in the afternoon, not boisteroudy or sentimentally or pathetically drunk, but simple good naturodiy and unmistakably drank. foot just come to town who met the mayor and in the innocence of his heart asked him whether ho bad ever been drunk. “Over 6,000 3 the mayor, and he seemed proud of ‘it. went to bed in misery of heart and woke up|“ il NG LENT.|THECUP THAT CHEERS RETAIN YOUR SENSES Could You if You Were Confined in aa Asylum?
