Tnat event was follow 'd by the war with Mexico. The part 1 bore m that war is known u, the country. A i l ive to lay of those services, is, that I l p< rfortn my duty m the difficult and trying positions in which I was placed To the brave ons ol Tennessee ol my com mand. 1 app. i a* wit n( ises ol my kindness Wi M . o our army, I at wtaiok matter, end defended the mcu> •re, both apon thawore of murals and as to the usage of governments. ITe wid we were not enmpting Santa Anna, for the fact that he was found in the market, asking a bribe, was proof that he was already corrupted. In regard to the practice of Governments; he aald it was a wage of all Governments to effect their purpose, when necessary, by mon ey, and that ottf Government had sanctioned the practice. He said the presents made by it to tho Chiefs of Indian tribes and to the Barbary powers, were nothing bnt bribes.— He further said that in the settlement of the North-eastern boundary question, £500,000 hud been used—no oue knows how, but the officers of the Government, uuless it was used to bribe the Maine press. He mentioned oth er instances in which the Government hail ex pended large sums of money in this way. Finding Gen. Scott clear os to the right of the measure, and earnest in his co-operation with Mr. Trist, and not being familiar myself with the usages of other Governments, nor the practice of our own, I doubted what I ought to do ; ami in deference to his wishes uud judgmeut, suspended uiv opposition, until a day’s reflection had couth med uiy opinion of duty to my country. Qn the night after the confereuce took place, Gen. Scott called u council of General officers, to whom he made known what had been done iu the way of ne gotiation, and to whom lie expressed substan tially the views and opinions above detailed. Being satisfied after reflection that my first impressions were right, 1 went next day to Gen. Scott and Mr. Trist, aud protested so earnestly against the whole matter that they both said 1 was right, and that they would abandon the negotiations. I then thought they were sincere in their purpose to abandon jt, aud all idea of peace to be thus obtained. In a few days afterwards the army com menced the march for the valley of Mexico. We renched the valley,had fought the battle of Contreras and Cherubnsco, (a continuous fight that lasted nearly two days.] when at last every portion of the field was won by the in domitable valor of the American army, and whilst pursuing the enemy at the head of the army, and almost within the gates of the city I received Gen. Scott's order to halt the army, and fall back to his position—when I learned from him that it wn-t his purpose to grant an armistice. The enemy had sent no flag oi truce, nor had he asked an armistice. 1 at once told Gen. Scott the city was in his power—that 1 thought be ought to take it provide for ti e wants of his army, and then grant an armis tice, if the enemy desired it- 'Gen. Seott replied that his purpose was set tled, aud gave orders for the disposition of the army for the night then approaching. Next day I went to Gen. .Scott's head , quarters, taking Geu Worth with me, and we fo. ! he man selected for that posi-,., ,, , ,, _.- ,, 1 both earnestly protested against the armistice, s Mr. N. P. Trist. But either dis- . >, , . but to no purpose, St II not satisfied, tin same day I addressed a written remonstrance to Gen. Scott, which I sent bv Gen. Pierce—still more earnestly pro testing against this araiistiue, as likely greatly to endanger the safety ot the artny in future operations. But all tny ifforts were of no avail. I was now satisfied that Gen. Seott was acting under the influence’ and wishes of Mr. Trist, aud that he was carrying into eflect the Puebla ergot atious. That in doing so, if we got peace, it would be at the cast of tho bon r of the army and of the Government of the eoniitH- That if we cot no pn.ci, Sauta Anna wod?3 avail bim-elf of the armistice to recruit his beaten and disorganized army, to complete lib defensive works, and to remove his heavy artillery from the front wo bad tw nrH, to the frout we were availing. And that in the event of Naina Anna's iiad faith in this negotiation, we were giving up all the advantages gained by the battles of Contreras and Chernbusco, [which had cost us the blood of 10 0 men ] without anything in return,and without any guarantee of the enemy's good faith. EnterUhting there views of the object and effect of the armistice,and the purposes of Mr. Trist, and finding that I could do nothing to prevent the consummation of measures ,-o dis reputable to the government, I at once wrote to President Polk, giving him a full account of the negotiations, und the steps adopted to wards its fulfillment. Upon the reception of this information, the President prompt ly re- ca led Mr Trist withdrew from him all au thority to act as commissioner, arid directed Gen. Scott to smd him back to the Ciuted Stales. The recall, however, was uot received until Gio. Scott had resumed offensive operations, and the Army had entered the City of Mexico. The armi.tice lasted fifteen days, during which time Santa Anua had completed his de fence?, had removed his heavy artillery from El Pinion and Mexicalzingo, and had reor ganized and recruited his army and had 25,- 000 fighting men in the field,—and then re- announced that the armistice was at an end.— And in the alter operations ‘of the army- made necessury by the armistice, and by giv ing up ail the advantages gained by tho first two bloody battles, we lost in killed uud wound ed 1C72 men, so that the army had to atone for the error of its General-in-Chief, acting under the influence of the Government Com- miceioncr—with the blood of many of its bravest men. Up lo this time Gea. Scotl had never been Otlierwise than jasi and kind to me. At Vera Cruz, he had »elecled me to lead the storming column of volunteer forces in the contemplated a-suult upon thut city. He af terwards appointed me a Commissioner over the heads of my then seniors in rank, to fix upon the terms of its capitulation, lie had which 1 did not rise lor s, I was arrested. A sword not dishonored was wrested ■-my personal was dismember- gallant division which had cut ' the city, at a loss of nearly two s members, was taken from my and ordered to remote and interior posi.ions in Mexico. 1 was confined a pris oner in the City of Mexieo for 90 days, and until released by order of the President of the United States. A lot g investigation of the charges pre ferred ; gainst me. resulted in the triumph, ant vindication of my reputation, and in o- verwheiming my enemies and persecutors with shame and falsehood. But then is a mystery, a secret history in the motives of those who sought to destroy my eharaetcr and to strip me of the humble honor of services which eost me so much suffering, which has never vet been under stood by tiie country. That mystery 1 propose to remove. It is due to iny own reputation, to the me mory -f the great and patriotic statesman who v 09 tlien Chief Magistrate of the Na tion. and to the truth of History, that the veil wh eh has now, for ten years, conceal ed the truth from the public, should be 7//'- tcd. In . ppointing a Mission to travel with the army ; id treat for peace, (if an opportunity should offer,) the grade of diplomatic duty to he performedi ami the emoluments thereto attached made it impossible for the Presi dent to find'a statesman who would accept the place, lion wa trusting his ability, or judgment, orprudem or all of these, President Polk was not sat tsfled -. place the honor of the country,! and of his Administration into Mr. Trist's hand alone. By fiw ■nfidential letters, now in Iny pos- , session, he so far asssociated myself with AI Trist, as to place me in semi official re lations with him as a Commissioner. The duty was enjoined upon Mr. Trijt of taking me into all his conferences, ami to consult me in all his negotiations. The duty was imposed upon me as a patriot, and devoted friend of the President, to guard and protect the honor of the country and his administra tion against any and everything which 1 thought would tarnish the one or the other. It will thence be seen, that while Mr. Trist was the ostensible commissioner. I wss, in fact, the confidential officer of the Govern ment, np n whom the President relied to guard and protect the honor of the’eountry, in the important negotiations involving up peace of the country. When I rei.h-d the 11 cad Quarters of the rtny ut I’u ''u, 1 eras invited to conference •i’ll Mr Trist. On ay arrival at his qnar- r --1 ,uud lien. Scott there.

Scott had the means in the disb ring department of the army or could rai*; the means, of paying the million to be paid at the conclusion of the negotiations.— He also said In had invited me to the confer ence in pursuance of the order of tin Presi dent, a> d de«ired my approval of the terms. I ask'-d Mr Tri9t if thtre was any Uw au thorizing such uu use of the public money?— He replieii there was not. I then asked him if 'he President had authorized such * use of it. He replied lie had not; but he thought it was the best be could do. Regarding this as an improper iu*.

Finding his army so much crippled by the operations at Vera Cruz a’ud the battle of Cerro Gordo, that he conld not advance upon the City of Mexico, he sent mu to the United States, (under sick leave of absence,) but in fact to procure from tho President an order to reinforce his command by the new troops pre viously ordered to Gen. Taylor's line of oper; tions; which dirty beiug performed, 1 returned and overtook the army, and assumed the com mand off? Division at Puebla. lie placed me in command of the advance of the army in the movement? that led.fotlie bat, ties of Contreras uud Churubusco. In the midst of this last, long continued and bloody battle, he sent his life-guard, (coinuiaudcd by Captain Kearney) to me for duly, thus leav ing himself at Coyoacan, without even a life guard. Immediately on the termination of the armistice ho threw me forward to Piedad, al most under the walls of the City, to drive in the enemy, and protect his army from surprise and stratigieul movement, [with orders never for oue moment to be absent from my post, while he was concentrating his forces nnd set tliug his plan* for future operations. 11c mov ed from this place in the darkness of the night, to dash upon and seize the Casa Mata, and the Moliuos del Iley, preparatory to storming Chapuitepee, and having chosen me to storm that strong and almost impregnable fortifica tion, [which commanded all the approaches to the city.] and when it bail beconn evident that it was victory or death lo the whole army, lie directed me to assail the work as I pleased, bnt that I must carry it, no matter at what cost—that the fate of the army depended upon my success. Being disabled iu this duty, Gen. Seott.said iu his official Reports, “That this gallant lea der was cut down, while up with the front rank, by an agonizing wound." In his offieiu 1 corres) ondeucejhe said, ‘‘From what lie person ally fa "’. he (1) received an agonizing wound in the able and heroic discharge of duty” in stor ming Chapuitepee. Again he said. “On your back as you still are with a painful wound , 1 yesterday very reliietantly troubled you with a note of that date but was obliged to do so, before finishing my report of the recent glori ous operations, in which you had u full and glorious participations.” ' * “Again lie said in haste, permit me to repeat once ir ore, that J have, from my first meeting with you, been anxious from n high opinion ol jour h ad and heart, your intelligence, lienor, zeal, and valor. o win your esteem and confi dence, on any terms consistent with justice and honor." I refer to these high official testimonials of Gen. .Seott not in a vainglorious spirit, but to show how strong uu influence must have been brought to bear upon his mind, to have indue, ed him’(btforc the ink with which Ins official reports were wti'-.t-u, was dry) to have treated with such harshness and injustice, an officer, of whose conduct he had just spoken in his re ports, iu terms of unqualified appro'.'.-tfiui and whose "confidence and esteem lie was anxious to win upon any terms with honor and just jgg.' That influence was the misrepresentations ol Mr. l'rist—who. availing himself of Geu, Scott’s known jealousy of command, und oftny opposition to the armistice—coupled.jyith the letters written front the army condemnatory of the armistice and lamlatorv of myself, inflamed Gen- Scott's feelings, and so maddened hii sense of justice, as to blind him in all his after conduct. Mr. Trial’s object, was to revenge upon the man who had caused his recull, and to disgrace and discredit the only man who ’ a J knowledge of his corrupt negotiations, lie know that I had written to President Polk, (for I had shown him the letter.) Hu’. Geu. ricott did not. He knew that to accomplish h s pur pose, lie must control Gen. ricotl’s moral pow er and influence in the army. Gen. Seott never suspected his real purpose. The armistice hud greatly affected the confi dence and feelings of the army towards Gen Scott, while my opposition to it, being known throughout the army, had tended to induce an overestimate of my services. This was seen by Gen. Scott iu the many letters ivritten from the army to the home press —and his sensibility on this point, may be seen in the issuance of his offensive general or der, intended to disgrace Gen. Worth and my self, upon the bare suspicion r that we had written such letters. It was this order that, leu to the arrest of Gen. Wortli and Col. Dun can , and though be arrested me under a dif ferent pretext, his main cbarge.was, that I also had written similar letters. Under these ciri instances, .Mr. Trist found it au easy matter to induce Gea. Scott to be lieve I was endeavoring to supplant him in the confidence and affections of the army, and to s'rip him of the honor, to which he was enti tled, as its commander. That lie did so be lieve. is manifest from his charges against me. Hence the blindness with which lie rushed into the extremes ol injustice nnd wrung to wards me, which proved so fatal to his own reputation for justice towards hi .“subordinates iu command, and which had well nigh ru* incj the humble individual who uow addnss s you. It will be seen Irom this narrative of events, that.all my trials and persecutions—all the falsehoods and calumnies heaped upon me in conseqncnee of my rupture with Gen. ricott — all the blackening and defamatory ehurges, by which he sought to strip me ol the humble honor of my re-rvic-es, aud to disgrace me as u man of honor—all the poisoned infused into •he mind of the Nutiou by the party press, that all this oboloquy was heaped upon - me, because 1 earnestly protested against the cor rupt ffeubla negotiation?, nnd tho nraiiBiice a part of if which cost tlid army th« live, oi so many brave men, aud because f made kuown to the President,us T was iu bonoi bound to do, the existence of the-e disgraceful proceedings- riciic-e it will be sen that, iuutead ot having caused the rupture between the President and Gcd. Scott nnd Mr. Trist, from an officious and inlerinedling disposition, ns I wa9 charged to have done, 1 was engaged iu a sacred duty to my co n 'ry in all that I did. And though 1 was so gr ally wronged by tho press, and by public opinion, such were my confidential re lotions lo the Government and lo this mission tliat 1 could neither expose the motives of those who sough tjto Octroy me, nor the sense of duly which controlled my conduct. Iu my defence of the charge against me, I was compelled to confine myself to the charges themselves trusting lo the future for the vin dication of my motives and tho fidelity with which I met the responsibilities of my posi tion nr tic' confidential officer of the Govern ment. The best friends I hud iu the army did all they could to induce me acquiesce iu Geu- Scott's refusal to prosecute the charges against me. But conscious of my innocence' and hnv ing b_en actuated by a high sense of duty to my country. I demanded an investigation of the charges, and an order from the court com pelling him to prosecute them, or publicly to admit that, they were false. ffioosc to brave ail the consequences, rath er thuu submit to be thus calumniated, or vio late the confidence reposed in me by my Gov ernment. In nil this I claim tohave douu^iul my duty but the tune has now arrived when I th.uk the reintioiis before to the Government und this mission, should be made known that my con duct may be understood uml my motives upper* riated, I now uppear before the people of Tennes- aii-i a?k their verdict upon these [acts. I appeal to them for justice, and I state the per formance u! ihese confidential services to my country, wi en neither th- purposes of injustice nor secrets >if State, require them longer to be withheld from the public. 1 could not state than cui li.-r, consistently with my sense of du ty.
