WHO IS PERFIDIOUS ? Wliig papers, and Whig politicians, continue, (see the speeches of INlessrs. Botts and Arnold,) we regret to say, to pour out vials of wrath upon the head of Mr. Tyler. The vocabulary of the laugiuige seems to have been ransacked for words to express their nngry denunciations. This is all exceedingly strange—and strangely inicharitable. There may have been many more able and influ ential, but there were none more zealous or more industrious than we were, in tiie contest which ter minated the administration of Mr. Van Buren. 13ut \vc do protest, most solemnly, that, we were not aware tliat we were laboring for a cause, the lead ing object of which was, as some now doclarc, a National Bank. Wc assert also, in all sincerity, that we do not believe that the mass of the people had any idea that they were sustaining such a cause. If they did, where did they get it? Cer- tauily not from the colums of this paper—certainly not from the principal Whig papers of the countiy, .surely not from the stump, nor from the halls of Congress. If a hank w'as the leading object, why was not a bank candidate selected'? Why were two gentlemen placed upon the ticket, who were open and undeviating opponents of a bank ? Were they put forwards as decoj^s, that the votes of the people might first be sccurcd, and then tliese decoys made the instruments of a de.^ign of which the people did not hear, and to which they w'ere not parties? Was any such fraud and perfidy con templated ? If it Avas, Avc W’ere not in the secret. If we had been, and had lent a hand to forw’ard such a stupendious conspicracy, Ave should look upon ourselves as forevermore a worthy object of the scorn and contempt of honest men. L^t us recur, a moment, to portions of the histo- i ry of that memorable contest of 1810, and see if ^ there be any excusc for the treatment "with which Mr. Tyler is visited. Gen. Harrison, in liis speech at Dayton, in Oc tober, and Mr,. "J'yler, in his Henrico letter of the same mouth, expressed their opposition to a Bank. We have heretofore quoted their views, and it is unnrcessar}' to repeat them. "We heard many speeclios, w'C read many ad dresses. and we were daily conversant with some 300 of the Whig neu’spapers of the United States dur ing the whole conte.st, and we soiemny aver, that wo cannot recollect more than one public address, one speech, and two or three A\ hig newspapers, in v.'hich a National Bank was urged as a desirable measure, or as a rpiestion belonging to the contro versy before (he people. Tiie address we allude to, was the Bunker Hill dccliration, and the speech was that of a gentleman in Baltimore, wdiich frightened the committee of ariaiigcineiiii at the tivne, and t!icy called another gentlcmrni to the stand to deny that the issue had been truly presented. In addition to this negative testimony infortn'ial from the general silence of the AVliig party on the subject, w’e mav now quote some positive evidence that a Naticnal Bank was not an issue before tlie People. 7’he address of the Whig Central Committee to (he AVhigs and Conservatives of the United Statis, dated AVashington, Aug. 25, 1840, and signed R. Garland and 3. C. Clark, in behalf of the Commit tee, does n^t allude to the question of a National 13ank. I'he address to the people' of IVIaryland. by the Whig Central Committee of the State, dated Balti- opinions in regard to a Bank are similar to tliose of Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison, nnd that they have been preverted and misrepresented by his ene mies. If they were his enemies wlio perverted and misrepresented General Harrison’^s oponions, by pronouncing him a Bank man, w’hp are they who noH’ “ pervert and misrepresent” Ins opinions? In an address to the people of North Carolina, by’' tiic Hon. Geo. E. Badger, it wi^s declared to be untrue that Gen tional Bank, Harrison Avas in favor of a Na- not less tlian 82000, shall be liable to become bank rupts, and may', on petition of one or more of their creditors, to whom they owe not less than $500, be so declared in the folloviring cases to wit: in case of departure from the State with an intent to defraud; of having procured himself to be arrested, or liis goods taken on execution, or having removed goods ibr concealmcnt, or having fraudulently asssgned. Any such person, however, may have a trial by ju ry to ascertain the facts enabling creditors to have the effects of the debtor , placed in the hands of trustees or commissioners for their benefit. From the operations of this part of' the law—the only equitable and beneficial .feature ^ in it—banks and other corporations w'ho may be ' swindling the community on a large scale, are ex- " empt. This is partial and unjust, but in strict ac- cordance with whig ethics.” From the Baltimore Republican, Down she goes—Give us the vtamps—We have re- ^ peatedly called for the names of those who are in- debted to the late monster; particularly such as have had waat, “Mahogany stock ” Web would call fair “business transactions,” with the concern, that the widov.’bi and orphans and others who have been rob bed, might know the authors of their distress, and The second section declares all future payment In the Sav'annah Republican, of Semternber 15, i made in contemplation of bankruptcy, or to prefer 1840, an oragan of the AVhigs in that section cflxiny creditor, fraudulent and void, aud the person the country, w'e find the following; 'kmaking them shall receive no discharge.

We ans wer, that upon (he Tariff and Internal Im provements he cannot be worse than Mr, A'an Bu ren, as W'e have show'n you; and as to the Ba?ik, his unqualified decdaration that is was unconstitu tional is before you; and there is no reason to be lieve that he is in favor of a Bank in any form, for he is assuredly opposed to a Government Batik. As far as \ve know or believe, fellow-citizens, Gen eral Harrison has hut one opinion about the Bank. a7ul that is against it, and we feel that w^c hazard nothing on saying that he w'onld not consider any Bank constitutional w’hich, in his opinion, would, if established, be both “ inexpedient and pernicious.” We find also, in the “ Address of J.

On this question let General Harrison speak for himself. In 1822, being a candidate for Congress, he published the following letter, giving his political opinions: [The letter to the Cincinnati Inquisiter is quoted entire.
