Camp near Monteuet, M.-xioo, June ft. ,
Dear Sir Your letter of the 15th clt , from
Clintoo, La., haa just reached irir, io which ym
are pleased to aay, 'tho signs of the times in re
lation to the next Preiwdctiry and the promi
nent position fjf your homo ht termed iota wttn
t, ie a eufneient excuse for Ihie tetter That
it it a happy feature in our government ttvst
official functionaries under it, from the lowest tn
the highest elation, are not beyond the reach
and partial euperviaion of the hu table Jt citizen,
and that it iaa right inherent in every freeman
to pnatirn liim-lf ol the political principle? and
npinitmi of those into whose handa the adminia
tratioo of the government may be jlaced," iic,
toallul which I fully coincide with jrtm iti o
pinion. Asking my viewa on lentil subjects,
"I'irst. Aa to the justice and neeeaaity of this
war with Mexico on our part. Si-conJ. As to
the necetcity of national bank, and tba power
of Congress for creating auch aa inslitutioo.
Third. Ae to the effecta of a high protective
tariff, and the tight of Congreva under the con
alitution to oreite such a system of revenue."
Aa regard the first, interrogatory, my duties
and the powtiou I occupy, I do not cona'der it
would be proper in me lo iva any opinion in
regard lo the same; aaa citizen, and ptrltcu
larly as a aoldier, it ia sufficient for me to know
that our country ia at war with a luteigr. ba
lion, to do ail in my power to bring it to a spee
dy a ad honorable termination, by the mosl'vi
grroiia and energetic operationat. without inqui
ring about its justice, or anything else cotanee
tod wilh it ; believing, aa 1 do, it ia our wleal
policy to be at peace with all the world, la long
aa it can- be doue without endangering the hon
or anl inteieata of the country., Aa regartla the
second and third inquiries 1 am not prepared
to answer them ; I could only do to alter duly
investigating those subjects, which I cannot how
do ; my whole time being fnlty ocrupied in at
lending to my proper official duties, which must
not he neglected under any eircomstaneea ; and
I must aay to you in aubsiamre what I have
aid tn othere in regard to si mi hit matters, that
1 am no politician. Near forty years of my life
have been passed in the publie aervice, tn the
army, Moat of which in the field, the camp, on
our western frontier, or in the Indian Country ;
and fur nearly the two last, in this or Texas, thi.
ring which time 1 have not passed ore night
under the roof of a house.
Aa regarda being a candidate for the Presi
dency at the coming election, I have no aspira
tions in that way, and regret the eubjct haa
been agitated at thia early day, and that it had
not been deferred until the cloae of thia war, or
until the end of the nest sea ion of Congress,
especially if 1 am to be mixed up wilh it, aa it
ia possible it may lead to the inj iry of the pub
lic aervice in this quarter, by my operations be
ing embarrassed, aa well aa to produce much
excitement in the country growing nut of the
discuiwiiin ot the merits, &c , of the different as
pirants lor that high office, which might have
been very much allayed, if not prevented, had
the subject been deferred, as suggested; beaidts
very many rliaues may take place between
now and i much no, as to make it desira
ble for the inlert of the country, that some
other individual than myself, better qualified fur
the ailualiun, alnaild be selected ; and could he
he elected, I would not only acquiesce in soch an
arrangement, but would rejoice that in repub
!ic had one citizen, and no doubt there are
thousands, more deserving than I ain.'end bet

On the Whole, I Still indulge in tbe belief that
ihe co'hreoiraiion of to many trortpt tn one spot,
is highly favorable to our proapecta of peace, if
Sahta Anna tie net permitted to eiripe and with

of the rii. At to i bote lf! rert wbd were taken

be expected that Geh. Scott will tet an exirhpie
by hrdering them to be Shot the punishment in
' flirted oh ill tuch offender t by the rules and f egli:
lationt of civilized warfare. During the wart of
the French Revolution, with all the bitternett
which existed between Englishmen and FrehSh
then, it wCt alwaya cont!derf-d all act of infamy
fbr tn officer liberated on parole, again to take
iip arml during the tame campaign, iHd Ihete
was tiri regiment fbilhd 1ft either service', whose
om.'tr would have been willing to aerve by the
aide of a man who had thus broken his honorable
engagements. The uags of aurrendering pti8
nera on parole, wt introduced 10 mitigate the
calamine of war; but if the pritdrters thuiiit

will never terminate, and hence it ia oeeetaary
