been published, was read at the ■ Buena Vista Fes

llead Quarters—Asarr or Occupation, )
Caup near Mo.vmtEr, Mexico, >
August 3d, ISM 7. )
Dear Sir—l have the pleasure to acknowledge
the receipt of your esteemed letter of the 7ih uIL,
which has just reached me, iu which you say:
**l had the honor of being called upon I art eve
ning to address a mass meeting of the Whig* of
the city and county of Philadelphia. At that meet
ing, your name was frequently imontioned in con
nection with the office of chief magistracy. I tin
ted to that meeting, as I had before stated in my
place in the House of Representatives at Wash
ington, that you were a Whig, not indeed an ultra
partisan Whig, but a Whig in principle."
; All of which is entirely correct; and after the
discussion which occurred in both houses of Con
gress, at the last session, growing oat of thd capi
tulation of Monterey, in which discussion you
thought proper to defend my conduct in regard to
that transaction, when assailed somewhat, if not
entirely, on party grounds, / tan hardly imagine
how any one who teas present and heard the sptteJics
on that oaasion, or read them after they were pub-
It&heJ, could well mistake the! complexion oi my
? politics. At the last Presidential canvass, it was
1 1 well kuown tn all with whom I mixed,.Whigs and
Democrats—for 1 had no.concealments in the mat
ter—(hat I was decidedly in fovor of Mr. Clay’s
electiou, and would now prefer seeing him
in that office to any individual in -the Union.
I must say L have no wish for the Presidency,
and cannot consent to be exclusively the -candi
date of a party; and if;l am one at all. or toiie
made so at the coming election, it must be borue in
mind that Ihavc notlieeh, or will be, made so by oili
er*, without any agency of mine in the mailer. In
dependent of my wishes, I greatly doubt my qual
ifications to discharge the duties properly, of an
office which was filled and adorned by a Wash
ington, a Jefferson, as well as several others of
the purest, wisest and most accomplished states
men and patriots, of this or any other age or coun
try. I almost tremble at the thoughts of the un
dertaking. Yet if the good people think proper to
elevate me, at the proper time, to the highest office
m their gill, I will feel bound to serve them; if not
from inclination,from a principle of duty, and will
do so honestly and faithfully to the best of my a
bility, in accordance with the principles of the ccm
stitution, as near as I'chn do so, ns it wa» constru
ed and acted on by our firrt Presidents, two of
whom, at least, acted so eouspicuotis a pari in ai
ding in completing that instrument, as well as in
putting it in operation.
But very many important changes may-take
place at home anil between now anil the
time for holding the election for our next Chief
Magistrate,—so much »o, as to make it desirable
CM the general good, that some one with more ex
perience in State affairs, should bo selected as a
candidate, than myself And could he be elected
I will nut say I would i yield my pretensions, for I
have not the vanity to Relieve 1 have any for that
distinguished station; but would acquiesce not on
ly with pleasure in such, an arrangement but
would rejoice that the republic 1 had one citizen
more worthy and belter qualified than I am. to dis
charge the important, duties appertaining to that
position, and no doubt there are thousand*. Be
tliis as it may, if ever 1 occupy the White House,
itimusl be by the spontaneous movement of the
pfeople, without any action of mine m relation to it;
without pledges other than I have previously sta
ted; a strict adherence to the provisions of the
Constitution, so that I could enter on the arduous
and responsible duties appertaining to said office,
so that 1 could be the President of
the Coontry atid Wat of 8 party.- j
With considerations of great respect and esteem.
1 am your obedient servant.

hall, firing several volleys indiscriminately into the
windows. Several members reached the door,
and were cut down like dops. ; The wounded
member, bleeding, was not recognised by the *ol
diers, they tell ou him—his left cheek and ear were
shot away—a severe cut over the head, and his
head nearly severed from fy s body, and lU# body
terribly mangled with bayonet#. The Hon. Juliau
Garcra'of C-aractu, was slut through the head—
the ball entering one ]eir and passing out of the
the other—all the fingers of the left hand cut off
and sixteen wounds in other parts of the body
The Hon. Juan Garcia had a sword run through
Ids body and fell dead. Col. Smith was badly
wouned with a bayonet—severaj others killed,
and some wounded. Those u-ho could not es
cape in front, wrenched off the j iron bora of a
back window, and, by means of a settee, made n
bridge to the lop of a wall, where a few poles
were found; und with these Ihuy escaped over
several walls, torn and bruised. The whole
square was soon surrounded by the troops, nod
. the honorable members were made prisoner!—
some with scarcely clothes without
hats, boots, or indispensable*; some, few shared
a better fete. The crowd rushed into the hail, de
stroying the furniture, and cutting to pieces, a targe
portrait of Bolivar.—ln half,an hour, thousands of
vagabonds .were paradiug the streets with all kinds
of weapons; every, house was iaslanlly closed;
all the foreigners who had .flags,, junfuried them
for protection, none but those who happened to
be out were in the Streets; every few minhtes the
harsh challenge, tpien viva. oi the -rush of<-ti v
alry broke on the ear; night soon closed in dark
ness, and a deathlike stillness prevailed during the
night. • <.
On the rooming of the -’3th, the citizens crept
cautiously out About noun the dead were intcred
without ceremony. At one o'clock the members
were escorted to the hall and compelled perforce to
pass several-resolutions. A banJo wns proclaimed,
requesting the citizens to assume their busiucss,
.with on assurance of protection. ;
, On tlie 20th, the members met again, tbeTrcsi
'.dent and his guards being in the hall with the mem
bers, while several resolutions were passed exon
erating the executive froth ail censure and a gener
al amnesty proclaimed.:
