lst Merck presented alternative modes.—,.
Ilutlw 0)13 -one Texas was to be admitted
without, any , precedent definition of her
boundaries, Under. the other there was
tu r be„snch,a ,delinition. Sir, I will not
stop tiotnglitre into the secret history of
Unlit reaolution in this body. The treaty
which-preceded it had been rejected, and
hecause;il prescribed no other boundary
than-,that which Texas claimed. It was
rejrAted, as appears by the debates in this
chamber, because, in thin judgement of
some ; of tbe Senators on the other side,
sanit claim was untrue and invalid—inval
ill bee-Anse a large portion of Me territory
ombracedWithin the asserted Inuits was
eisarly,a : portion of Mexico, The treaty
tieing rejected, the resolution of the Ist
Month 1845, came to the Senate. That,
tottOras open to the same objection as the
treaty. -- It left the boundary to depend on
the claim of Texas. It was impossible
for those who thought the treaty was oh
noxious on that ground, and on that ground
%:04 against it, to give it their support.
.".But4hey did vote for it. after getting it
=NOW by the insertion of an alternative
mode. Sirs how happened it that this
change of form reconciled them to the
immature I Could it have been fur any o
ther. reason than because the alternative
would be pursued by the President (
Such alternative obviated the objection of
an unsettled and unjust boundary. It look
ed-to negotiation as the remedy to avoid
ail difficulty either with Texas or Mexico.
It. looked to annexation without the hazard
of war,-and was designed for the pure and
patriotic purpose of maintaining the peace
autl.houor:of the U,.:Siates. Now, sir, 1
do not allege that this was the ground of
their support, and still less that they had
any ,assurance from the President on the
subject; but I do allege that I can conceive
ho other reason fur their vote upon the res
olution at all in keeping with their charac
ters for high intelligence, firmness of par
pose. and patriotism, than that they thought
they had an assurance that their mode of
annexation would he pursued. Sir, how
did it turn out ? The in k was hardly dry
with which the resolution was recorded
and the name of the President attached to
it, before,. without going through the form
epeaofa moment'ssubsequent deliberation,
messenger was dispatched to the Gov
ernmental Texas, inviting her in under the
fwixalternative—and under the first alter
:wave she came into the Union.
"Now. sir, 1 charge upon the President
that this hasty and ill-advised step was the
temote cause of the war. 1 charge it upon
him that if he had acted prudently,eautious
ly, and wisely, he would have proceeded
snider the other alternative, and have saved
the dreadful effUsion of blood the world
has been compelled, to witness,
“1 charge it upon him that the course
which be did pursue was inconsistent with
that uniform 'whey of his predecessors to
to, avoid, or to seek to avoid, by every pos
sible and honorable means, that direst of
all, national evils—war.
••Sir, it is no defence that that Congress
authorized the step he did take. They,
to be sure, authorized ir, but did not com
mand it. They left with him, unwisely I
think—certainly I would not have done it
--the discretion to adopt it. But he knew

wisest. and purest of statesmen predicted
that it- would end in war ; and that sonic
if`rbe'lvisestand purest of the statesman
belonging to his own political party enter
lathed that opinion, Ile knew that a ma
joritywf the Senate, his constitutional ad
visers, were firmly of that opinion. Ile
knew tiny had promptly' rejected a treaty
upon that very ground, and that alone ;
and yet, in defiance of all this, he headlong
takes the obnoxious step, and the war Co-
The responsibility is upon his
head, Mid heavy and overwhelming is that
responsibility.
"Sir,onnexation of itself would not have
been war. Mexico had no right to make
it 'a cause of war. 'Pesas independence
Gad been too long established and undis
turbed to have her absolute right of sover
eignty called into question : acknowledged
by the principal Powers of the world, all
had a right to say that revolution had ri

Statist, the neighbor of the new Govern-
mettr, that right. Nor do 1 believe, Mr.
President. that Mexico, proud and arrogant
Its ahe then wet, would have dared, on
oldie treaty of annexation, to make
Wirupou the U. States. No, sir, it was
the'marmer, not the fact. It was the rash

that *itch hoetilities srotsW be, in the judge
litesdeitirt Wen, war. The war-making
power is exclusively vested in Congress,
for , wise, high, and vital reasons of public
policy. No nom would he mad enough to
repose such a dreaded power in the Exec-
Wire. 'Flue security of freeedion and
peace demands that those who are to pay
the expenses of war should alone have the
right to declare it. Congress was then in
session; why were they not consulted
Was it apprehended that they would not by
such a step hazard the peace of the nation !
Was it because it was believed that they
would resort to every possible efkirt be
fore taking a step so likely to involve us !
Sir, I hope not, I am bound in respect to the
President to believe not. But, sir, the tact
remains. Is there a citizen in the United
States of any intelligence who cau doubt
that Congress never would. in the then
condition of things, have antlered, if they
could have prevented it, much less ordered
that march !
"I charge, therefore, upon the President
that, as far as the U. States and himself
are concerned, he is the author of the war.
Ile and he only, and upon his hand rests
the blood which has crimsoned its many
glorious battle-fields.
"Sir, our flag has waved in proud glory
over every field of conflict. The nation's
heart has beat hieh with pride and grati•
wile to the brave spirits who have borne
it, for their matchless gallantry and skilll.
Upon the nation's brow no blush need to
be seen. They were not permitted to a
void the horrid strife. Their President,
without their knowledge, rashly involved
the nation's honor. That tumor was then
illegally assailed. They had no choice
but to vindicate it. Theirs is all the glory
which has been achieved.
"The President hereafter, when in the retire
mentof private life and reviewing the scenes
of these bloody conflicts, however it may be
w, will take no joy in the remembrance
of our triumphs. The voice of conscience
will tell hint that all the blood of the battle
was his shedding. The tale of its glory
to hint will be lost amidst the agonizing
cries of the widows and orphans it bas
made. Sit, I repeat it, I allege no imprhp
er motive lo the Executive, but as I be
lieve that I am now addressing you, do I
believe that upon the President rests the
blood and expenses of the war, and upon
him therefore I charge them."

accounts of him have been as, vague and

who have written any thing about him,

I observed that the entrance dour new fel

ble man, in many respects, tin the western

I had missed the gorgeous spectiele' of
his New Orleans reception—the most
niticent affair which had ever shaken that
city with excitement ; but vastly better, 1
had him now where I could see'and study
the man—a man, whose name belongdle
history, and whose achievementer place
him side by side with the great Captains
of the world.
The first thing that struck me, was the
simplicity, and unfailing attribute, of. true
greatness. Ile ate, and talked,, and car
ried himself with the unstudietkeasiof a
little child. lon would have supposed
him sonic plain country gentleman, who
dreamed not of attracting a look or calling
out a remark. All right in that line,
thought I, but how different looking and
better looking than the million of lithograph
likenesses which stare you in the face at
the shop windows and every where else.
There is in the living original none of that
extreme breadth between the chin and the
back of the head, very little of the protru
sion of the lower lip, to he found to the
lithographs. In a word, they arc a bundle
of caricatures, one and all. Ile is precisely
the height of your present correspondent;
has a considerable sprinkle of grey hairs,
is sixty-two years .of age, and erect and
firm when nn his feet, with ono of the kind
liest expressions of countenance you ever
saw.
Ile had on a common blue frock coat
with flat buttons, the covering of which
was worn off, showing that it belonged to
an order of things which passed away some
tivo or three years ago. Still his dress as
a whole was sufficiently becoming, though
exhibiting notrace whatever of the military.
As we rose from the beakfaet table I was
introduced to the old hero. 1 told him I
was from South Carolina, and rejoiced in
the good fortune which had allowed me to
see him and tell him how much the people
of my native state honored and loved him.
His eyes tilled with tears as he shook my
hand warmly; and I saw that the simple
assurance of love could affect profoundly
a man who faced the storm of battle with
a nerve that never moved.
His conversation exhibited fine, clear,
common sense, without the slightest tinge
of any sort of ath!ctation or vanity. In
the course of the day he gave me the de
tails of the great battle of Buena Vista, the
key to all the successes 'of the American
arms in Mexico. Had that field been lost
the fate of the war would have been en
tirely different, even though indomitable
courage night in its long run cut its way to
the Mexican capital.
But I must put a curb upon my gallop
ing pen or you will never see the end of
this epistle. The General remained with
us until after breakfast the next morning,
and was lauded at his residence on the riv
er, some distance above Natchez. 1 smil
ed to see the republican simplicity with
which a couple of his uegroes, field hands,
who happened to be at the landing, walk
ed up as he got on shore. and shook hands
with him without doffing hat or cap, and
the expression of delight with which they
looked into his face as he spoke kindly
and fathiliarly to them. Our engine hell
rang as goon as he touched the iihore, ° and
we were off.

him in the supreme command of the Amer

office of Lieutenant General—the failure
to provide the necessary supplies - at the

WASIIINGTO74, Jan. 20.
I . SENATE.—The Senate unexpectedly
had a long session upon the Ite , elution
of Mr. MitNoose. of N. Carolina, and the
'feu Regiment Bill.
Mr. MAl.lOllll'B Resolution is substan
tially that. the President be requested to
state whether the General Order 376 is
sued by Gen.. Scott was from' instructions
from the War Department, and, if so, to
lay them before the Senate, and also any
opinion of Gen. Scott, on file, as to milita
ry means necessary to carry them into ef
feet.
Mr. MANOUM pressetrhis resolution, and
the duty of thet President to eorniudiffizate
whatever iefiltmallett was - neeessary Ibr
the true guidancetof thattiOdy. The Sen
ator from N. 0..' said that, he desired td
knew what was the executive purpose up
on this subjeetottit that he should official
ly inform the Senate what object was now ,
dld'ifiiiell by_the War, '
There was a tender4obtednees ttpen this
stibject—a sort ofaklitishness, whidh was
surpriaint. ",He 'had befit' seek mach *
sensitiveness before in his kinreerirleit in
this body and in the other ifintse. Gen
etnith it:tuned' afraid In iomtiunientelight
to' the Senate. They, 'were afraid of in
fortning'the Senate of what designed
—of what was done—and Senators were
ealled upon to carry out the wishes of the
AdatimetratiOn dithenteiren knowinterhat
they were. '
s itar. Carrtzseztv ' thought the Senator
from Michigan might well be sensitive at
being called .4teeder-footed" upon this'
subject. That Senator had signalized
himself by' opposition to all calls for
infbrmation here. Whenever light was
wanted he was for keeping dark, and we
were to he made to walk blind folded over
red-hot coals in order ' to keep the Presi
dent's seerin prosecuting the war. '
There we ti...
no State secrets worth keep
ing. Such ',tlugs belonged to little Goy.
ertiments and little persons. Little gov
ernments adopted them and noboiry else.
They belonged to little things. little pee
ple 'and* little governments: , When we em-
ploy spies, iii" heaven's name keep secret
your operations, but not in other great
things. The Senator from Michigan did
not want Mexico to know what we wanted
-;• what we designed. Why, we did not
know ourselves. We were kept in the
dark—wholly in the dark.
The other day the Senator did not want
to destroy the Nationality , of Mexico.—
Soon after, we could swallow the whole of
Mexiki and it would not hurt us. Now he
was for the cntire . linlijugation or conquest
Of - Mexico. We might swallow Mexico,
though he thought it would make usa most
misshapen mass.
Mexico was now entirely at our merry.
and we could "swallow; as the Senator
said, kg, arm, or head, or even the whole
if necessary. Any new species" of canni
balism we were strong enough to attempt.
Mexico was conquered already, and there
was no weed of all, these State serrets--all
these impenetralia and are:,na. It was un
trcoming our peoplc to adopt this dark
ness.
Mr. Crittenden argued that within six
weeks we slititilif have peace, and the
question put to us would be in a legislative
form—what should we do with Mexico
Mr. C. held. in most eloquent words and
with great force of manner, that the Sen
ate had a right to know what was done
and what was designed.
Mr. Cass rejoined that war was a game,
and that secrets were necessary. He
would vote fut all necessary public infor
mation which the Executive might deem it
discreet to give.
Mr. CRITTENDIrti objected to the corn
munictiflons in a partial form, and to one
Senator. Every Senator here was an e
gual—and it was hardly respectful to let just
such an amount of light, or twilight, as he
regarded most proper to give. The Sena
tor became here the grave distributor of
knowledge to others. He (Mr. Critten
den) wanted the information in an official
aim. Give us light—light—light l The
people had .a tight to know what the Eaeu
tive meant.,
Mr. MANUODI argued the question still
further, and wished to know what the Ex
ecutive Meant upon tide sithject ; what he
meant to do with Mexico after it was con
quered. This war was coming to an end
which the people were not ready to come
up to. • lithe chairman of the Committee
of Military Affairs would tell us this. he
would rare less for his resolution. The
Senator (Mr. Cass) went for the conquest
of Mexico. That implied the annihilation
of. all Mexico; and this was what was
meant.. ,
Mr. ALLEN , gave notice that ha should
introducallis ancient. Resolution—of allow
iog light to come in upon all subjects, save
ono6—(and that • probably negotiations.)—
fie. would. have, all Executive nominations
toasidered in public; and no Executive ac
crete. , .
After a few words more the /Resolution
was 549004.
debate was continued upon the Ten
Reginteml. Bill, by Mr.. F 9016. of Miss.—
It was. in the style. of yeaterday, and made
a very fulLSenate needy vacant in a very
few momenta. ,

erted 4 .magnetie.tintl mesmeric arts" was
deemed a refleCtion upon the great States
man and Patriot of the West. But Mr.
Foote, tofthe'great merriment of the Sen
ate, avowed himself a believer in the •mes
metic art, and so believing, he meant no
more than that Mr. Clay exerted a charm
ing influence wherever he went. Ile op
posed Mr. Clay's policy, not Mr. Clay.
HOUSE.—lmmediately after the read

and said that the duty had been assigned
to him, of announcing the death of.his col
league, Hon. Jolts W.. lIORNBECK, who
died at Allentown, Pennsylvania, on the

SENATE.--The Senate session was
very brief—and adjourned to Monday.—
The announcement of the death of Mr.
Hornbeck, by Mr. CAMERON, of Pa. con
stituted all the business to-day.
HOUSE.—The House gave the day to
private bills. Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, was

relief of Mary Brown), which caused so

The case was one involving the claim of
a poor widow, and the resistance of it has
cost, in time alone, the value of a score of
pensions. The members opposing .the
Bill were large in their professions, and
gave a large amount of words inste ad of
that quiet action necessary for the relief
of a poor widow whose son hadclied in the
service of his country, but whOse husband
was in the Revolution.

Mr. HERNIA'S' resolution, calling for
the letters, &c., written by Gen Taylor
on the subjeet of a military line, referred

On motion of Mr. Muama, the Senate :

the President for information, ai to the ex

and as to the power of the government to .

was taken up, and, after some discussion
between Mr. ilantitsoax and Ilat.pwin,,
the resolution was laid on the ;able, by a
vote of 28 to 22.
The discussion upon the Ten Regiment
Bill was then resumed by Mr.' CLARKE, of
Rhode Island.
HOUSE.-In the House, in Committee
of the IV bole. the President's messege was
taken up. Mr. lIAeRow, of 'Tennessee,
addresseJ the Committee in an able man
ner against the war policy of the Adminis
tration, and the acquisition of territory by
conquest. He was followed by Mr.Yeath

ministration. Mr. I)ixoN. of Conn., fol
lowed in opposition.
WANnirmaios, Jan. 2
SENATE.—Mr. Reath ',resented a
series of resolulions, denying the power of
Congress to abolish slavery in any of the
States; asserting the right to acquire terri
tory by einiquest ; ultd declaring that Con
gress could not interfere with the question
of slavery in soy new territory which
might be acquired. The resolutirms were
_ordered talc-printed.
The special order having been called,
Mr. CRITTENDIEN desired an opportunity
to ask the chairman '‘,l military affairs,
••whether Gen. SOW has been susiwnderi
or recalled and whether Gen. Worth had
been relieved or suspended from arrest r
Mr. CA6S said he would not reply in hie
character of chairman of the committee on
military affairs, but he was ready to give
the Senator from Kentucky all the infintne
lion he had on the subject. He did not
suppose that the Government would feel
any difficulty in giving any information,
on the subject. Gen. Scott has been ewe
pended, and the command of the army
devolved on the nest itt rank. Gen. Butler.
Gen. Scott will attend the Court of Inqui
ry which has been ordered. Gen. Worth
has been relieved or suspended from ar
rest-
Mr. Crittenden expressed himself satis
fied at the readiness with which the inform
ation had been given.
The Senate proceed to the consideration
of the Army bill.
Mr, C't..terx then delivered hie views in
opposition to the origin and progress of the
war and against the bill. He calculated that
by the passage of the bill the army in
Mexico would be increased to 05,000 men .
Ile wished to know how this lime was
to be employed, and in whit manner the
ways and means were to be provided.—
He believed that if the bills no before the
Senate' were to pass, the Secretary if onll
require a loan of 40 millions for the pres
ent year, and inch &loan could not titt,ne
gotiated on better terms than 00 cents. in

The abstraction Of so la.^4 an amount of

as bad: You never can do any thing with
Mr. Calhoun; you know 116 always splits
every' thing in two, even a hair; and the
most he'll ever do for us about this annex
in businesi will be to, split off a little piece
of Mexico. If he finds out we are annex
in the whole of it he'll fight agin us till all
is blue., Then there's Col. Benton I don't
think is a whit better than Mr: Calhoun.
You linovr what a fuss he made when We
took in. Texas, because we sot out to take
in a 'trip of MetiCo with ii ; a
little reasonable strip, too, jest on our side'
of the river, so as to make square work of
h. Col. Benton's ebenezer was right up
about it ; he said it didn't belong to us, and
it didn't belong to-!texas, -and we had no
right to it, and shouldn't touch it. Now,
if he made such a fuss'about that little strip
on our side of the river, he'll be likely to
raise Ned and turn up Jack .if he finds out
we'have a uotion of annexiu the whole of
Mexico. And lie's a terrible enemy to

with such men as these in the Senate, be
sides all the thunder of Webster, and all
oursuadin of Crittenden, hew are you go

for us In get along safe but to keep such
men in the dark. licep coaxing the mo
ney
‘ out of um to conquer a piece, but nev
er let em mistrust that we intend to con

all the timeaud row 'wilier. I know you'll
have a hard time of it, for Congress will
keep diving into you all tile time with this
question and that, and pry in into ell the
.accrets about the war, and want to know
what indent yougive to us out here in Mex
ico, and what•iite armies are going to do,
and where all the motive goes to, and a
thousand things that they've no business
with. Now, w hen they keep coming to
you with these ugly questions, 1 think the
only safe way will be for you to slim your
mouth right up, and keep a stiff upper lip,
and not say a word. And do pray be car ,
ful what you tell to good old Mr. ltichie,
for you know he never could keep his
rumulteltct. '!'here's some dogs, you kuow,
that always bark at the wrong time, and
frighten sway the genie. You never ran
train cm to keep still when they ought to.
You remember, more than two years ago,
before the war begun, when you was lay
ing out the work privately and carefully,
and getting youeships round to the Pacific,
and giving-the officers their orders to stan
ready and wait till the train was touched
on this side, and the moment they heard'
the first sound of the war to snap up Cali.
'fornia, and annex it, and held on to it, so
that if %refound the. people wotddn't- let.
the war go on, we could come to a settle
ment,
,and each aide - hold what they had
got—you remember how Mr. litchi° got
NILO the. matterthat le liked to blow
ed the whole business up by Jetting on a-, ,
.tout the conquest of Mexico. A little more
such carelessness at that time would a been
'likely to upset our whole kittle offish—we,
might ti lost California, and Santa Pc, and
. likely, enough even that little strip on Our
aide of the river Pains Texas. And as for
the whole of Mexico, our jig • who'd 'a

it till doomsday but %wouldn't comb'.
I think you did right to make believe in
your message 'that you had no idea of con

fer'to give up that five millions to Mexico
to pay', her for our taking Texas without

Shop ask you ilme hadn't ought to
give up that five .milliane to Mexico for
that strip On oursitlf of the river that you
sett' Geit. ‘l'aylor to take Without her,
leave•jest your mouth up
if they askyou if Mr. Trist didn't offer
to give,upthat five millions to Mexico and
pay hertwenty millibar more ifshe wouldn't
try-to get Wick California and New Mexi
co, that you had taken from her without
her leave, jest shet your mouth up.
if they eski you' what, upon earth you
catiWant now of a hundred thousand sol.
diem in Mexico, and a hundred millions
ordollare a year for spending money, jest
open your lips carefully a little ways, - and
tell ma you aro digginglitto the vital parts
of Mexico to get that live millions of dol
lars she owes us.
• Then *het your mouth right up again,
and keep 'it silo, and I guess
wife. pop% be afraid of em ; they can't pry
'Your mouth open if they shouldtry ; and 1
guess t h at answer will pacify cm till we
the work all done and Mexico all an
nexed. Then you Can step up to em bidd
ty and tell em you have made:the gritatest
tnttgain that nny body ever made on this
nirth; you have got the whole of Mexico,
people and all for five millions of dollars,
which is only about fifty cents a head for
the people, and the lands and the gold
mines thrown in for nothing.
I'm 'pursuaided it will make Ilia greatest
man of you that over lived yet ; greater
than Washington, or J ackson, or any body
eke. The world will then say, 'What
great things was Washington ? Ile only
defended his country and balk up a Repub
lic; but there was Col. Polk, tie conquer
ed a country and annexed a Republic."—
I'm so sure it will come to this that I wish
you could stop their setting up that great
Washington Monument there in the city
of Washington, for .that monument ought
to be raised to you yet, and the money
should be saved for that parpOSe. Idea%
know how to limp the work goin on,'un•
less,yeu, can Mike it out that it comets un
der the head of internal improvements, and
then you might atop it constitutionally,—
At any rate, its worth trying for. ,
Never mind the prating el — diem scare
crow folks, who mike ench alnits and say'
it will be the destruction of the IL States tf
you annex Mexico., , What, if it should I
You would stillatend *bore Washington
and be remembered longer. Our history
books tell us that the name of the man who
.built the 'first 'great tethple to Diana at E.
phesus is lost and forgotten ; nobody knows
who he was; but ,the name of the, man
who sot fire to it and , burned it down'is
found in all the histories down to this day,
So in this grand amnesia business of you're
'if you should set fire to the great temple
,that Washingtop built, and burn,it down,
don't be afraid
,but what .your name will
Ike on the, page of history,fiill as long as
Washingtoe's.
But I've writ so much already, that I
havn't room to say but a word or two about
matters here. We keep pushing the buil
nese here ;, we've got pretty well through
.the vital parts of the and the ar
my has now commetteed spreading out and I
turning squatter.. But we havn't near e.
nough to spread all over the Country yet
without leaving them too scattering. I
hope 'you will hurry on the 30,000 more
men that you promised, as fast as possible;
that would make os near a hundred thou
sand strong[ enough to spread out squat
ters into nil parts of the courtiry, and the
annexin' business would be pretty much
over. That is, the annexin of 'Mexico ;
and I take it you'll give us a holyday and
let us rest a few months before we hitch
on to the next country 'down south. And
besides, we shall 'teed that holiday to see
about electing you President another term;
for you'll have to be elected' in the com
mon way once more, before you will be
strong enough to Stand President all the
time without any election. I see things is
I going on very well for your election this
! time. The more candidates there is on
, both sides, the better it will he for you ;
j and it appears now as though there was a
going to he lots of 'em.
I remain your faithful friend,
