SIR: The honorable gentleman s. |. Burr,
ESQ.,, whom you commissioned 10 succeed me In


the Secretaryship of this Territory, has just ar
rived and entered upon the duties of his Office.
| II is doubtless an appropriate appointment. No
thing could better illustrate the conduct of the
character of the donor than the simple name Of
the donee.


In the canvass, which terminated in the choice
OF Gen. Harrison and yourself, acted my hum
BILE and Jealous part, and the President elect in
conferring the Office upon me, induced me to
abandon my native State and people, with very
large family, (an helpless females,) at very
heavy expense, to take charge of an arduous and
highly responsible Office, in a far distant land. So
far then as party faith was concerned, il might be
considered fair compact, to endure Tor the term
fixed by the organic law of Iowa. provided the
incumbent, in the administration of his office
continued to afford evidence of his worthiness
Thus then with "Punic faith" worthy Of
yourself, sir, have been coolly, wantonly, and
brutally thrust from Office without the shadow Of
a cause, and entertain not the least doubt, that
you derive the greatest enjoyment, like all other
petty tyrants, from the contemplation of the in
tense misery that you are daily nficting upon
many unfortunate families throughout the land,
making it indeed "grow pale" | can give you
additional JOY. In my case you have struck
deadly blow, and you are at full liberty to gloat
upon the ruin you have caused. You can roll
the sweet morseI under your tongue, and make
the most Of it.


If in the perperation Of your accidencys last
outrage, you designed to increase and extend the
execration universally entertained for you, the
effort was unnecessary, vain, and foolish for you
may be positively assured, sir, that the wide
spread detestation and infamous notoriety which
you have already secured to yourself and cabinet
admits Of no augmentation. The country and
the spoils have been partitioned out among you
the civil officers ef the Government, as has been
before asserted, have been set up at public auc-
tion, and bartered away, with the vain hope on
your own part, at least Of foisting into the Pres-
Dental Chair for second term, poor, miserable,
pitiful imbecle, with the finger Of scorn pointed
at him by the whole American people


A tyrant is tyrant all over the world, and un-
der all circumstances. There are grades in the


inherent turpitude Of principle in his base and
habitualy brutal heart. His malignity is even


in the due ratio Of his power; and you, sir in your
contemplate dispensation of rewards and pun
ishments, have afforded pretty ample evidence,
how far you could find it in your malevolent ma
ture, to indulge in the helish propensities of a
bloody despot, invest you only with the purple.
You have displayed, to the full extent Of such
power all the characteristics of tyrant of anti
guilty, with the temper of Tlberius, and all the
little ambition and meanness Of John Tyler, the
5oasled descendant of the erebel Wat" You


have essayed to play the despot, by the employ
ment around you, and at distance, of the vilest


myrmidons Of the land to assist you in the opera
| tion of the guillotine. You have scrupled not to
use your own sons as : sort Of provost marshals
10 your pretorian band; worse, if possible, than
your corporals guard and yoa now sir, only lack
= few hundred gladiators and wild beasts in or
der to consummate the instruments of absolute


rule, to illuminate the glories of the White
House, and further immortalize the name of a


hated and loathed traitor.


For all this, we have some consolation-'ti in
the full assurance, that you, John Tyler, will in
a very brief space, go, with the scorn and Kisses
Of the nation, back 10 Charles city county, down
to everlasting contempt, and g damned to ever
lasting fame" serving to the last generation,
coupled with the name of Benedict Arnold, as
byword and proverb and salutary caution to
all future traitors. Your accidency's humble
servant 0. H. w. STULL,
Late Sec'y Of Iowa Territory.
To JOHN TYLER, Acting President, u. S.
Extract from Mr.. Tyler's Inaugural, April 12
lS41.


"The patronage incident to the presidential
Office, already great is constantly increasing.
Such increase is destined to keep pace with the
growth Of our population, until, without figure
Of speech, an army Of office holders may be
spread over the land. The unrestraned power
OF sel6shly ambitious man, in order either to
perpetuate his authority, or to hand it over to
some favorite as his successor, may lead to the
employment of all the means within his control,
to accomplish his object. The right to remove

inevitably destined to produce spirit of crouch
