PHILIP JOHN LIGHTFOOT, art infant, by
Qeei Blakey, his guardian, In 1815, exhibited
a bjjl in the Court of Chancery of Williamsburg,
against "Jofin,; Tvler, ex'or of Hon. John Tyler,
dee'd, whd had been a former guardian of plain,
tiff It appeared by an account of Judge Tyler's
guardianship, settled by Commissioners of the
County Court of Charles City, and exhibited with
the bill, that the estate if Judge Tyler was in
debted to his ward $4223,G0 priocipaJ ; ad the
bill claimed to surcharge this account. .
'Pending this suit, Lightfoot attained to hi full
age, and then he gave his bond to the defendant
JohtfTyler, the exor of his former guardian, for
$3000 : thi bond was dated April 17, 1819: and
at 'the same time, he agreed to dismiss the suit
brought, to settle the; guardianship account of

whereof he appointed Ro. W. Christian bis ex'or,
against whom Tyler brought a suit upon-the bond

And theoJSlakey and others, legatee of Light
foot, exHibrti a supplemental bifi against Tyler
and Christian, the . exor of Lightfoot, in- which
they . impeach the bond for . 61500 executed by
Lightfoot to Tyler, on the ground that it was given
for, no valuable consideration, and that the only
consideration, if aoyr was that Tyler had engaged
ia some law suit for. Lightfoot ; and alleged that
lightfoot' agreement to dismiss hts bill on ac
count of , the guardianship, was founded on' the
same consideration and they pray that the bond
rniay be-cancelled; and that Tyler may be decreed

WM. G. SANDS.C.C.
Thus it will be saen, whether or no, I have de
parted one hair' breadth from the record in the
statement I have made, (except that Lightfoot was
the ward of Mr. Tyler's father, and not himself, j
which has subjected me to the severe animadver
sion of having sworn falsely to a record, when in
truth no man could have understood my oath, as
apDhcable to any other part of my communication
than the conversations held between Mr. Tyler
and myself but let it all go in. Mr. Tyler Wii
find if he has hot already discovered it, that it ia
not my habit to mak vague charge against any
man that 1 cannot establish when called on.
But Mr. Tyler'eays, M I have never been able
to conceive the ground on which Chancellor Tay
lor declared the bond void. That decree was
pronounced by that Judge, many years ago,
when be was in the decline of his life, and after
he had been visited by severe paralysis, and hit
decision was never enforced." What Mr. Tyler
means by saying the decision was never enforced
will puzale a lawyer to understand, and per
plex him to explain : does he mean that in spite
of this decision of the Court declaring the. bond
avM i. ssi as. uwfswriGu uie iuvuvj uvwsjigutivvv m
estate. I imagine not, because the statement
could not accord with the facts the thing was
impossible. exceDt bv the commission of another
fraud more inexcusable if possible than the first,
and to which the Executors of Lightfoot, who
ware contesting this matter with Air. l yler, must
have been parlies, which from their character and
standing, is impossible ; 'it was, however, at the
June Term of 1812; that Judge Robertson rendei-
ed a decree vs. Mr. Tvler for the amount due
Lightfoot's estate on the guardianship account,
(and also pronounced the decree of Chancellor
Taylor in 1830, as final upon the bond held by
Tyler from Lightfoot,) and this is the debt that
has been withiu the last twelve months the sub
ject of compromise spoken of by MrTyler.
ueaven However Joroid," says Mr. Tyler,
"that any mac should be assailed for moral obli
quity because of the arguments of counsel"
Amen, say 1, with all my heart I know too much
of the depravity of some counsel, and of the perv
eonal and political malignity that may he indulg
ed in under the cloak of professional duty in Chan
cery proceedings, either to condemn myself, or
asjt otners to condemn any man on that alone ;
but Watkina Leighjs no such 'man, and all the
circumstances of this case as -they are now given,
wnn ine representations of the Executors of
Lightfoot, who were the blood relations of Mr.
.Tyler, justify all and more than I have ever said
on this subject. But enough of it Mr. Tyler is
alone to blame for any reference I hive made to
this or any other matter touching his personal
honor. He assailed mine, and seemed not only
to invite but provoke it ; and having said all that
I deem necessary in mV own defence a nT inat;fi
cation, I drop this matter forever, unless farther
occasion'should be presented either by Mr. Tyler
or his friends. ..
Jo regard to the revelations which he will Mmot
probably" make through the Madisenian, I not
only authorise but invite, and so far as I have the
right, demand the publication of any paper, in his
possession, that can reflect in the least degree on
my character or course as a public or private man.

We do not believe that any WHIG meditates
the exchange of Henry Clay for any other man.
If there be such an one, calling himself Whig, we
would not give a pinch of snuff for his Whiggery.
We have never seen such a Whig, and never ex
pect to see him. Not either, that the Whigs are
addicted to the idolatry of man worship ! They
revere Mr. Clay in a certain sense indeed ! but it
is as patriotism venerate tue vvr wuitu n iv-

as all rational creatures arc found to venerate

and thus thinking we belie ve they are altogether
unaau&ou iu the purpose of supporting him for
the highest station as "best qualified to adorn
it, and through its instrumentality, to promote
the happiness and glory ef their country.
All these shallow devices" of the enemy to
create suspicion and to detach the Whig party
from Mr. Clay will prove unavailing.- Whig.
HENRY CLAY.
The animation, and union of the Whigs is in
striking contrast with the miserable dissentions,
heart burning divisions and petty jealousies of
the Loco. The prospects of the Whig party are
truly cheering. We were never more united,
more harmonious, or more confident of success
than now. Throughout the length and breadth of
this vast empire the great measures of our party
are ably vindicated ; and the great exponent of
these measures, . Henry Clay, warmly sustained.
We really concede the -worth and talents of
other aspirant ia our ranks notwithstanding, we
unfurl the Clay Banner, and recognise it as the
only Whig Banner under which we can march to
victory in 1841 Henry Clay , is not the Candi
date of any particular part of this wide extended
Empire ; he is the Candidate of the whole Coun
try, and upon him rest the hope of the nation.
In every crisis he has been true and faithfuP
ever striking strong and efficient blow for the
right ef man the proud and boasted champion
of human liberty. No section can claim him
No Stat appropriato him. His views like hi
heart, span the entire Union. He originate no
expedient, looking only to localities. Hisgigan
tic powers of mind his indomitable energy of
character, his long tried and unswerving integrity.
has rendered him dear to the people, and it will
be a jubilee of great rejoicing throughout the
land, the day he is proclaimed President of the
Nation. Roanoke Republican:
Politics, in this country, though often derided
and loudly talked against, and much condemned,
are a part, necessarily, of the concern of every
man ; because they are made to operate upon the
laws, and the pursuits, and the business of every
citiaen, and, because they aflect the goyerments
of the Nation and the States so as to touch the
pecuniary condition, social happiness and general
welfare of the whole community. Hence, every
good citizen does, and must feel an interest in
the parties and politics of the country and every
republican is more or less a party man, taking
sides with one or the other of the political parties,
and enlisting his wishes and hopes in the success
of the division which he espouses. And it is ail
right and and proper that this should be, for the
public good. No citizen is too humble to be be
yond the reach of evil measures, and none too
high to be elevated above the fear of a bad gov
ernment. Nor is there any quarter or section ef
the whole land which can escape from the effects
of wrong measures pursued by those in authority.
The kpow ledge , of thi fact stimulates to zeal;
and the only requiaite wanting, is, that this zeal
should be'tempered with prudence, and conduct
ed by discretion. Tn high party times, there is al
ways danger of imprudence and rashness; of rrife
and bitterness. But a little reflection enables all
reasonable afld honorable men to calm down their
passions or their feelings, and, admitting their
own imperfection, impels them to do justice to the
motives, and excuse or forgive the errors, of their
opponents. It is a part of the duty of our station
as citizens of a Republic to tolerate all differen
ces of opinion, whilst we, with independence, as
sert and maintain our own. But the ntire ab
stinence from eare as to the politics of our coun
try, ought not to be encouraged and cannot be
excused.' Tto " man can wrap himself up in his
self-sufficiency or selfishness, and say, 'Met the
world wag on it cannot injur me'. He is.
wanting in love for his neighbors and affection
fcr bis country, when he cease to feel an
interest as to those who are io administer the
Government, or what is to be the policy of the
nation. So to act hi to prove, in some sense, re
creant to his obligations. To every one Is given
