'MI*4- - Psaa'Sni :.- • Your note of the ,21st tilt., enclosing a - slip - .cat froaftbi New York Sun, on' the alltaiimldp of the Wilmot proviso, and ;equating i statement of my recollection hire gard to the matter; is before me. Before proceeding to `comply with I your request, allow -me toit/ 4 word or two relative to the article's the. Sun. The ides is there putiorth that the Wilmot proviso originated at a dinner party :of New York Barn-. burners, at which JOhn- Van Bum; SarauelJ. Tilden, a Western member of Congress, of the name of Howe, and others, were present ; and this dinner party is said to have taken place ! in 1847. Now, the Wilmot proviso was introduced in committee of the whole of the House of Repro , sentatives on the eighth of Augusta 1846 ; and there was not then I member of Congress froin the West or elsewhere of the name of Howe.— [See House Journal; first session, Twenty Nint ..Congress, p 1288.] —••• Ail the proviso was introduced in Committee of the Whole, and there added to pending - bill by way of amendment, mid as no journal- is kept of proceedings in such commit. tee, and the results of the action of the committee alone • are reported to the House, it does not appear by whom the proviso was offered: - -- It was in fact, however t offered by Mr. Wilmot, of Pennsylvania, under the circumstances hereafter' -to be men- tiotied. What may have mewed at a Now York dinner party in 1847, I, of course, do not know ; but I am as well satisfied as I can be of anything that the idea ( f such a proviso origi nated among members of the House of llopresentatites in August, !Id, ' and not outside of that.body. By reference to the House journal you will see that the proviso waa at tached by way of amendment 'to a pending biU appropriating money to enable the President to open negotis ations for peace with' Mexico. 'Dar ing the progress of the war we had' already acquired military pOssession of New Mexic.. and California, and, it was everywhere well understood , that these were to be retained by the United States as permanent ,acquisi tions. The representative of the slaveholding interests in Congress cdnfidently ealentated that °these would eventually become slavehold ingo Stites, and so add to the voliti on tb o u tte th r ° b r and lat m in a te ny ree l i femtl i t St k t from e free States feared that this word be the case, , but were deter mined if possible to prevent it.-- Promi ent conning the latter were Hale Of New Hampshire, Hamlin of Maine, Preston king, Rathbun,Jen. , kine, and Grover of New York Dill ingham of Vermont, and Wilmot of Pennsylvania. And as for myself, 1 was conscious of having rendered myself, by my course on the question of the Annexation of Texas, mime ! ' what notorious for seat if not 'for discretion, in favor of" the policy of Melting - the further eittension of I slavery. As for Mr. Wilmot, he, up to the time of the introduction, of the provi- so, was not generally known among the members of the House as beingg. in favorof this policy; but I bad mere than once Conversed with him on thesubject, and, knew that he thought and felt as I did in regard to it. In addition to 'this, ho, had be come a favorite atiiong Southern members, for the reason that he was the only member from Pennsylvania of either party' who had voted for the bill, then recently passed, largely re &Icing prctective duties on imports. 7 he session of Congress was about to close, the Bth of August had arriv• ed, and under a joint resolution alrea dy passed,the two houses were to ad journ -at noon on the 10th. The President bad sent in a ispetlial Wes sage asking the appropriation ahove alluded to. 1 The message was re ferred to a committee, ,which was then absent from the House. sad en gaged in its consideration. It was easy to foresee that a bill in accor r dance with the recommendations of the message wouldsoon be inixoduo- , I ed and pushed throng's the House . with all the promptitude which a large • Democratic majority . ' and' ; the force of party discipline could Com mend; and that an approtristioh of 1 money to negotiate a peace with Mexico, meant the purchase of Mex. ican territory , for the benefit of the lelavebolding interest. ' 1 ' Under thew circumstances, 410 6 consulted with no one, I sat down` and drew up the proviso in the ex= act language in which' it now' ap'• Ipears on page 1288 of the journal; adopting in the draft, ae nearly sal could from memory, the language of the prohibitory clause of -3be ordi nancs of 1781 for the government of the territory northwest of the Ohio river, with each additions as Seemed necessary to adapt it to the purpose aimed at laving oompleted ! the draft, I first took it,with its interline- Minus and erasures, at . once.to Sam uel P.

Wig us should, at the 'proper tiMe; e.deavor to get the floor - and if ' (lithe ens, other than Wilmot should be first, tecog. nixed by the chairman, he floor should bp yielded,to Wilmot, and he should offer thepeo*iso. At.the same time, Wilmotorho,wasasomiAwhat fat and phlegmatie, _was specially ex horted to vigilance . and ,promptitude. This arrangement , was carried. out, and, as I had conjecttired, Wilmot was recognieed by the chair. The vote was' taken by tellers ; and every man of every. party from the free States except 'John A..lifc; Clernand, of Illinois, and perhaps his 'colleague, Gieklin, voted for the pro viso, and it was carried in 'asommitte by an overwhelming majority: When the bill was reported to the Rouse and the yeas and , nays were called on its paseage, a very others from the free States, and all of the, few members from Bentricky, 'who had voted. for the , proviso in commit tee, *crawfishQ., , with the honorable and diatinguiehed exception of Wil liam P.

From the above statement,' you will see that the ides otattathing prohibitory proviso to the bill,'ls amendment to which it was offered, arose simultaneously in the minds of &wend membera; . and that I am en titled to'no very great, ant no e'sclu sive credit..
