your opinion, would attend the assetnbling
the volunteers on the Rio Grande, and,
tin conclusion, expressed your belief that it
/could not be done before the Ist day of
tp. next. I then alluded to the 'troops
ich were now hastening to Gen. Taylor's
mlard, under requisition—to the ex•
.
ed feelings of the country—to the pa
otic
ardor of those troops—to the disap- '
, . nttnent which both they and the coun
try would feel, if an army of eight or ten
thousand men were on the Ili. Grande
comparatively inactive during their entire
tour of service, which being limited to three
months, would terminate before the peri
od named by you for the assembling of the
volunteers on the Rio Grande. It was
with special reterance to the employment
of the troops that would be on that fron
tier by the Ist day of June, that 1 spoke of
what would be the sentiments of the coun
try, and of the spirited men who had enter•
ed the seryice, and the expectations of the
Executive upon the subject. I was well
aware that the President was most anx
ious that the war should be prosicuted
with promtpness and vigor, and that the
brave and patriotic men who had been call
ed out should have an opportunity to ren
der their country active and effective ser.
vice. I knew, too, that the President con
fidently hoped and expected that a large
portion of the voluuteers, authorized by
the act of May the 12111, would arrive on
the frontier in sufficient force for active
operations before the time which was indi
cated. With the view of seetning this
important object, the most energetic meas•
tires hail been adopted. Every considera
tion of economy and duty forbade that the
troops should if thus collected, be permit
ed to remain inactive, by reason of the ab
sence of the general officer, who fully pos
sessed of the views of the Executive, was
to direct their movements.
I did not deem it improper, indeed I
considered it a matter of duty, to commu
uicate to the general, to whom the Presi
dent confided the management of the war,
his views and expectations upon this point.
That this communication, made in the
manner it was, should not have been kind
ly received, is sorprisingto me; but vastly
more so is the fact, Ilia) it slit uld be made
the basi, of the must offensive imputations
against the Executive Government, which
hail voluntarily selected you to conduct
one army, and determined to put at your
disposal the ampleest means it could coin
mand to insure victory, and to bring the war
to a s uctessful and speedy termination.
I , was also a matter of unfeigned sur
prise to me that you should have attributed
to the President the intention of opening a
lire upon your rear, while a fire in front
as opened upon you by the enemy. On
w!iat foundation could such au assumption
rest ? flail not the President in a frank
and friendly spirit, just intrusted you with
a command on which the glory and inter
este of the country depended, to say nods.
ing of the success of his own administra,
lion? How could you, under these cir
cumstances, arrest your labors of pre
peration and suffer your energies to be I
crippled for the purpose of indulging in
illiberal imputations against the man who
had just bestowed upon you the highest
mark of his confidence ?
Entertaining, as it is most evident you •
do, the opinion that such are the motives
and designs of the Executive towards you,
and declaring it to be your explicit mean•
ing that "you do nut desire to place your
self in the most perilous of all positions
—a fire upon your rear frost Washing
ton, and the fire in fro nt from the Mexi
cans," and so entertaining them entirely
without cause, or even the shadow of jus•
tification, the President would be wanting
in his duty to the country, if he were to
persist in his determination of imposing
upon you the command of the army in the
war against Mexico. Ile would probably
misunderstand the object you had in veiw
in writing your letter, and disappoint your•
expectations if he did not believe that it
was intended to effect a change of his pur
pose in this respect. I ant therefore, di
rected by him to say that you will be con
tinued in your present position here, and
will devote your efforts to making arrange
ments and preparations for the early and
vigorous prosecution of the hostilities
against Mexico.

HEAD QUARTERS OF TIIE ARMY,
IVashington, May 25, 1846.
Stu :—Your letter of this date, received
at about 6, r. M., as I sat down to take a
hasty plate of soup, demands a prompt
reply.
You have taken four days to reflect, and
do convict me, upon my letter to you of the
21st inst. of official, perhaps personal dis
respect to the constilu.ional commander
in-chief of the army and navy of the
United States.
If you have succeeded in imparting that
impression to the President, then, by the
conclusion of your letter, Written in his
behalf, I am placed under very high obli•
.
nations to his magnnnitnity—may I not add,
to his kindness—in not placing me instant
ly in an arrest, and before a general court
martial. I nay then hope that the Presi
dent saw no such intended disrespect; and
I c , assure you both that I feel too great
aihdlerence to the constitution and the
la of my country to offer or to design an
indignity to our chief magistrate.
The strongest passages in my condemiied
latter, are. I think, hypothetical. In it, I
tipid:e of " impatience"--" perhaps in high
qu ters ;" of " p I kips I, ter condenina-
against danger (ill will or pre•cwidemna
lion) in my rear," and of that most peril
ous of all positions" to any commander—
" a li r e upon Lids] Ivor from Washington,
and the fire in front from the Mexicans."
And I also spoke of the necessity of ..the
active, candid, and steady support of
(such commander's) government" in the
hope of conciliating it.
Now, if there be anyoffence to the Pre-
sident in these passages—the intention of
committing which I utterly disclaim —it
must, in candor, be found in the meaning
of the passages " high quarters" and the
quarters,alluded to," which qualify all '
the others quoted by you.
It Will be perceived that I spoke not of
the highest quarter, but in the plural, "high
quarters," and I beg as an act of justice,
no less to myself than the President, to
say I meant "impatience," and even "pre
condemnation," on your 'part, and the
known, open, and violent condemnation of
me on the part of several leading and sup
posed confidants of the President in the
two houses of Congress, (high quarters;)
because, on an intimation—hot an order—
I did DO fly to the Rio Grande, without
waiting for the invading army, yet to be
raised—nay, abandoning it to get to that
river as it could, and without the least re
gard to the honorable pride and distinction
of the gallant general already in command
on that river; v ho, we knew, had done
well, was doing well, and who, I was quite
sure, and his little army would, if the oc
casion offered, cover themselves with glory,
My prediction, in this respect, has been
fully accomplished.
But that I did fear, and meant to ex
press the fear in my hasty letter of the
st, that those persons here enumerated
would, sooner or later, impart their pre
condemnation of me to the President, I
will not deny. My letter was written, in
part, to guard both the President and my
self, against such a result, which would
' have ben fatal, not only to me, but per
haps, for a campaign, to the service at the
country. Ilence the details I entered into
to show the President and the Secretary
of War—neither supposed to be profess
ionally experienced in the technical pre
liminaries of a campaign—what had been,
and what would continue for some days,
my incessant occupations. There is no
special pleading in this explanation. It
is written and offered in good faith; in
proof of which I beg to refer to my letter
to you of this date, sent in three hours be
lore the reception of that to which I am
now replying.
You speak of my interview with the
President on the subject of the intended
formidable invasion of Mexico. I wish I
had time to do justice to my recollection
of the President's excellent sense, milita
ry comprehension, patience, and courte
sies, in these interviews. I have since
often spoken of the admirable qualities lie
displayed on those occasions, with honor,
as for as it was in my power to do him
honor.
And to you, sir, allow me to say I have
not accused you, and do not mean to ac
cuse you, of a set purpose to discredit me
as the commander at first designed for the
new army that is to invade Mexico. I bear
in mind with pleasure the many personal
courtesies that I have, for long years, re
ceived at your hands. But I have fur
many days believed that you have allowed
yourself to be influenced against me by
the clamor of some of the friends to whom
1 have alluded. To that source, and from
no of your own, I have feared that
you had not made, and were not likely to
make, the just and easy explanations in
my behalf, which might be made. You
are also aware of other causes of uneasi
ness I have against the department—of the
want of that confidence and support ne•
cessary to my official position—whether
here or on the Rio Grande. I have here
tofore explained myself on these points,
which rentleru repetition unnecessary.
Whether it shall be the pleasure of the
President to send ine to the Rio Grande,
(which I would prefer,) or to retain me
here, I can only say, I um equally ready
to do my duty in either position, with all
my zeal and all my ability.
In great haste, I have the honor to re
main, your most obedient servant,
WINFIELD SCOTT.
Hon. W. L. MAttov.
Secretary of War.
WAR DEPA RT FENT, May 2G, 1846,
Sue :- —Your letter of yesterday, al tho'
left at my house last evening, was not re •
ceived by me until this morning. Though
not much of the time between the date of
yours of the 21st, and of my reply of yes.
terday was devoted to the subject, yet it
was, as justice to you required it should
be,
well considered, and the construction
reluctantly given to your letter was such,
and only such, as your language seemed
to me to render unavoidable. As you now
explain that letter, the suspicions or impu•
tattoos of " ill will," "precondemnation"
dae. were nut intended by you tube applied
to the President, but in some measure to
myself. There is nothing in that letter
which warrants this particular application
—there was nothing in our intercourse,
and certainly nothing in the state of my
feelings which could lead even to a con
jecture that such an application was de
sh'ied.
You cannot recur with more pleasure
than I do to the " many personal cour
tesies" between us for 't long years," and
I was unconscious that the kindly feelings
in which they had their origin, lid under
gone any change—on my part they cer•
tainly had not. I had hoped that your
knowledge of toy character was such us
to place me in your opinion beyond the
or .4, nrOloonc ttttt Which VIM IiOPIO
being influenced and controlled in my
official conduct towards you by unfounded
clamor, even should it come from " lead.
ing and supposed confidants of the Pres•
ident in the two houses of congress."—
As you •'have not accused," and as you
declare "do not mean to accuse me of a
art purpose to discredit you, as the com
mander, &c., but only fear the effects of
sinister influences, I submit to your judg
ment whether it was not due to our per
moil and official relations, that 3 ou should
have been inure eXplicit-..-that you should
have stated the circumstances which had
excited your apprehensions, and thereby
opened the way to correct the rash conclu
sion you have adopted, "that (I) had al
lowed (myself) to be influenced by the
clamor of some of the friends to whom
(you) have alluded."
You state that I am "aware of other
causes of uneasiness" (you)"have against
the department—of the want of that con
fidence and support necessary to (your)
official position, whether here or on the
Rio Grande." I must say that I am
wholly ignorant of any just cause of un--
easiness on your part, and I sin very sore
you have no ground whatever to sustain
the allegation of a want of that coufl•
Bence and support necessary to your•
"official position." The matters, or rather
matter to which you probably allude, (for
I can recollect but one,) and which has
been made the subject of a frank.—and I
hoped—satisfactory explanation, was of
minor importance of too slight a charac
ter to disturb our friendly intercourse, or
influence in the smallest degree our offi
cial relations.
II have the honor to be, very respectfully
your obedient servant, W. L. MARC Y.
Maj. Gen. WINFIELD SCOTT,
Commanding General, &c. &c.
ItrsSDgUARTERS OF THE ARMY.
Washington, May 27, 1846.
Gin : I had the honor to receive your
letter at yesterday, at my (Ace, about 9
o'clock at night.
As you do not say that you had shown
my explanatory note to you of the hrevi•
ous night, May 25, to the President, may
I beg you to lay the fair copy (herewith)
before him P. In this copy I have inserted
in brackets a material word—" friend"—
accidently omitted in the hurry of writing,
and also a developement of my meaning in
another place, in red ink and in brackets.
Allow the to recapitulate some of the
principal facts in my present (to me) un
fortunate misunderstanding in the War
Department.
About the 13th instant, both you and
the President expressed the desire very
explicitly, that 1 should conduct on an
extrusive scale, with the new forces about
to be raised, the conquest of a peace
within Mexico. I considered myself hon
ored by the intended appointment, and I
beg that my expressions on the occasion,
which I need not here repeat, may be re
tnernbered.
I have said in my letter to you of the
21st instant, "I have received no orders
as yet, assigning me to the immediate
command of the army about to be raised,"
&c. No dicer of the army or navy was
ever despatched by any executive, on dis
tant important service, without written
instructions or orders from his govern
ment. I have received no such paper ;
and have never even heard that such pa
per l.ad been drawn up, or was even in
preparation fur me. It is evident then,
that without written instructions, or or
tiers, 1 could nut have left my habitual
duties here independaut of the preliminary
arrangements for the formidable move•
meats contemplated against Metico.
On the 18th instant, hearing that Mex
ican troops had passed the Rio Grande,
and of the capture of Capt. Thorton's de
tachment, I addressed a letter to General
Taylor, a copy of which I annex and beg
it, also, (with this letter,) may be laid be
fore the President. The letter to Gen.
Taylor was twice sent up to you before it
was despatched, and, at your instance,
was changed, (by the ommission of a para
graph to the exact shape of this copy.
Its last paragraph is in these words—" I
do not expect to reach the Rio Grande
much ahead of the heavy reinforcements
alluded to above, or to assume the niame
'hate command in that quarter befoi e my
arrival. "
-----
I tote this paragraph to show that i did
not expect to be sent to the Rio Grande,
and did not even expect it was the inten
tion of the President, or yourself to send
me thither, "much ahead of the heavy re
in forcem en ts alluded to"--viz o sonic
twenty odd thousand volunteers, besides
a few additional regulars,
Though I had occasion to see you twice
or thrice in the mean time, I heard no
complaint from you, sad received no cur
rection of that misapprehension—it, in
fact, I had fallen into any--before the
evening of tie 20th instant, when you
spoke of the impatience manifested at my
occupations (or delay) here—which com
plaint caused my letter to you of the next
morning May 21st.
It seemed, therefore evident to me, at
the time, that your complaint had been
caused by the out•of-door clamors to which
I have alluded.
Three hours before I received your let
ter ol the 25th instant, conveying the dis
pleasure ol the Executive, and without the
least expectation of receiving such a letter,
I had sent into you my report or note of
the same day, (the 25th,) which conclu•
ded with this declaration :
"I think my preliminary and necessary
occupation may be ended here in (say)
three (lays n►ore, when—premisin4 that
after the great and brilliant VietOtif's of
the a:Ill:nit Taylor. (or which we have re.
supersede hint belore the arrival of com
petent reinforcements to penetrate the in.
tenor of Mexico, and to conquer a peace--
I shall be ready for any instructions or
orders with which the President may ho.
nor me."
And again on that day, (the night of the
25th,) alter receiving the censure of the
President through your letter, I conclu•
ded my prompt explanatory reply, them
tt Whether it shall be the pleasure of
the President to send me to the Rio
°ramie, (which I would prefer,) or retain
me here, 1 can only say I am equally rea•
dy to do iny duty in either position with
ail my zeal and all my ability."
I still - hope when the President shall
have read that explanatory letter and the
foregoing exposition of facts attentively,
he may be willing to recur to his original
purpose, and accord to my senior rank
the preference Which I have never ceased
to entertain, and which I should have
pressed with incessant Zeal, but fur the
apprehensions heretofore expressed, and
which your letter have nearly, if not quite,
removed. I therefore beg to claim that
command, whenever the President may
deem it proper to give me the assign
ment—whether today or at any other
better time, he may be pleased to de•
signate.
In your rejoinder to me of yesterday,
(May 26010 which I have acknowledged
above, you quote from my letter of expla-
nation the words "you are also aware of
other causes of uneasiness I have against
the department," &c.
Your notice of this complaint on my
part, is so liberal—not to say kind— that
am bound to be frank and explicit, as to
one of these causes: I had upon my mind,
in hastily penning these words, these
facts: Brigadier General Wool was
coiled to this place, by a letter of your
own writing, to command under me, one
of the detached columns against Mexico,
according to an understanding between
the President, you, and me, to that effect.
I saw Gen. ‘Voul first, the day of his
arrival (May 17) and communicated to
hint the purpose of his being called to this
place. In a day or two, I learned from
Gen. Wool that notwithstanding my inti•
illation, he had been told by you, he might
not be ultimately assigned that command,
because, perhaps, other generals might be
authorized and appointed, for the army,
and called into service from the States.—
That information gave me no serious ap
prehensions for lien. Wool or myself,
until I saw, in the morning of the 20th a
bill reported in the Senate (at yourimine
diate instance 1 knew,) the day before,
providing for two major generals, and four
brigadier generals, to be added to the re.
guiar military establishment, besides givs
mg to the President the power of selecting
State generals for the command of 90,000
volunteers. I then thought I saw a strung
probability that both General Wool and
myself would be superseded, at least in
the war against Mexico, by two of the new
regular generals of our respective grades,
to be appointed, as was generally under
stood, from civil or political life. It was
then that my apprehensions became seri
ous, as may be seen in a letter to you of
the following day, (May 2lst) and in many
of my subsequent acts. Flom that mo
ment, (before my letter of the 21st) I have
hail but little doubt down to last night,
that if that bill became a law —connecting
it with the clamors against me to which I
have alluded--I should not be sent against
Mexico.
1 will now, however, hope for better
fortune; cud appealing to the justice of
the President and the rights of senior rank,
have the honor to remain, sir, your most
obedient servant,
WINFIELD SGOTT.
P. S. I add to the pope, s, herewith, a copy of
Col. Butler's explanatory notes of a rough sketch
made by him of not thm n Mexico, which .nay be
valuable. The colonel, in the notes, is not so full
on the rainy season as he and Chum al J. T. Mason
we ein comet sation with me. I beg again to re
fer to them pot sonally.

Hon. W. L. MARCY, Socrotrity of Wari
HEADQUARTERS OF TILE ARMY,
Washington, May 18, 1846.
Sin. We have no report from you later
than the 26th, ultimo, and but little thro'gh
an official source on late as the moi oing of
the 29th. Of course notWithstandity , our
high confidence in you and your little ar
my, we are anxious to hear further from
you. All the sucoess that may be expect
ed under the circumstances is confidently
relied upon.
Congress having'recognized the existaT , re
of war between the U.S. and the Republic
of Mexico, and having authorized the
acceptance of 50,000 volunteers the War
Department has already called on several
States fbr quotas of twelvanionth volun
teers—making it total of about 20,000 say
one%fourth horse, to march upon Mexico,
from different points on the Rio Grande.
Of course, at this early moment, and at
this distance from the scene of intended
operations no definite plan of campaign
has been laid down. Being destined to
the chief co►n►rund of the augmented for
ces, I shall delay as much as possible of
that plan until I can profit by your better
knowledge of• the enemys country, when
it 19 my tope to have the benefit of your
v a luable services according to your brevet
rank and with the column that may be the
most agreeable to you.
We have multi:died our forces on the
general recruiting service, and hope, in
two or three months, to bring up the pri•
vales of companies to 70 or 80—at least
in the regiments with you.
I fear that we shall not be able to put
l on the Rio Grande, with our• utmost efforts
more than ten or fifteen thousand vulun•
period, we learn here for the commence
ment of operations beyond, with the view
to the compcst of a peace. What you
may have done since the 26th ultimo, or
what you may be able to accomplish before
September, with your limited means, to
wards th.tt general end—an honorable
peace—cannot now be assumed. We !nay
hope, that, with the small reinforcements
you have by this time received, you have
forced back the Mexicans to the right bank
of the Rio Grande, and perhaps may have
taken Nlatamoras, or possibly, by the
greatly superior army of the enemy, you
may now be placed strictly on the defen
sive. By this, it is not intended to em•
barraes you with new instructions, but to
give you information as to expectations
or intentions entertained here—leaving
you under the instructions you have al
ready received, and to your own good
judgment, zeal, and intelligence.
I do not now expect to reach the Rio
Grande much ahead of the heavy reinforce
ments alluded to above, or to assume the
immediate command in that quarter be.
