LETTER OF THE SECRETARY OF
WAR.

10 the editors ofthe Baltimore Patriot.
1t may be due to myself and is certainly
Que to others, that the reasons under which
| retired from the direction of the war de-
partment, at a juncture so critical as the
present, should be fully and promptly
Known to the public. These reasons will
be found in the following brief exposition
of facts.
On the evening of the goth ultimo, the
President called at my lodgings, and stat
ed that a case of much deiicacy had oc-
cured; that a high degree of excitement
had been raised among the militia of the
District that he was himself an object of
their suspicious and menaces; that an Of
fcer of that corps had given him notice,
that they would no longer obey any order
coming through me as secretary of war
and that in the urgency of the case. it
might be prudent so far to yield to the i'm
pulse. as to permit some other person to
exercise my functions in relation to the de-
fence of the District.
To this statement and proposition | an
swered substantially, as foilows-that | was
aware of the excitement to which he allud-
ed, that | knew its source and had marked
its progress that the present was not a mo-
ment to examine its more occult causes,
objects and agents; that it ostensibly rest
ed on charges known to himself to be false,
that it was not for me to determine how
far the supposed urgency of the case made
it proper for him to yield to an impulse so
vile and prohigate-so injurious to truth
and so destructive of order; but that for
myself, there was no choice that / could
never surrender a part of my legitimate
authority, for the preservation of the rest
that | must exercise it wholly or not atall I;
that | came into Office. with objects ex-
clusively public and that to accommodate
my principles or my conduct to the
humours of a village mob, stimulated by
faction and led by folly, was not the way
to promote these, and that if his decision
was taken in conformity to the suggestions
he had made, | entrea.ed him to accept my
resignation-This he declined doing. 1t
was an extent, he was pleased to say, to
which he meant not to go that he knew
the excitement was limited, as we'll with
regard to time as to place; that he was
now and had always been fully sensible of
the general zeal, diligence and talent,
which | had put into the discharge of my
duty, and that it would give him pleasure,
were to take time to consider his pro-
position. renewed the assurance of my
great personal respect, and my readiness
to conform to his wishes on all proper oc-
casions. remarked, that whatever zeal,
diligence and talent / possessed, had been
employed freely but firmly, and according
to my best views of the public good, and
that as long as they were left to be so ex
erted, they were at the service of my
country-but that the moment they were
made to bow to military usurpation or
political faction, there should be an end of
their public exercise. We now parted.
with an understanding that / should leave
Washington the following morning.
1t has been since stated to me ss q fact
Ito which give the most reluctant belief
