the support ofthe President. ashe to them,
government can now do well without the

"Gen. Jackson's doctrines Of obedience;
Queries to the Editor OF -, and other
learned casuists. |. Suppose the govern
ment of the United States give orders 10 a
general officer, or ielicately signify their
wishes and intentions, to remove from
certain command, one the generals pro-
teges and favorites ? These orders or in
ten,ions of government, are not pleasing TO
either the chief or his subordinate. They,
therefore employ their joint faculties of
maneuvriag to Illustrate the object OF 60
vernment By articles, evasions, and pre-
tended misapprehensions of meaning, they
have so far prevailed as to hold a command
in defiance of government itself, for nearly
a year.
Does not this case prove, that govern
ment when restricted, according to the die
torial system Of general Jackson, may not
only be tricked and insulted but absolutely
nu!li6ed? What redress would an inte-
rested court martial afford
9. Suppose that through the same gene
raj, positive orders were given, by 60
vernnent for another officer to supercede
his protcge and favorite in the command Of
bis usurped place. Suppose these positive
orders, as they were not susceptible OF
bubble or subtsrfuge, be pocSeted, laid
aside, delayed, and no, executed, for more
months than ii would be necessary to en-
ploy days or hours--wouId this case prove
the utility OF government relying for the
execution Of lis orders solely Oh tie integ-
rity Of commander? Perhaps it may
be alleged that such cases are purely ina
ginary let facts which have occurred in
less than year be examined, and it will
then be known whether they vary in any
respect, frou. tie cases as above stated.

Ear Office gentry, $.e.-!f the writer
meant TO class gen. Scott among them, ne
was totally mistaken. The acting secreta-
~ OF war, between the summer OF 1916, and
December iSl7, was The chiefc!erk OF the
depaytncnt-a very worthy and highly
respectable prluate gentleman, but prr>i-
Gus! y unknown as public character, and,
therefore, in the opinion OF 'gen. Scott, as
was frequently expressed by him at the
time) an unfit person to preside over the
army, Q. 20 represent it, before the con-

ment he conducted himself with great mo-

This is utterly false, General Scott has
never since the war, taken part either IN
general or local politics. He held no cor
res ponience with the executive depart
mems of the government, except on pro-
iessionai matters, aud none with the presi-
dent---and Can almost say with certainty,
thai he never once bad j conversation with

the state, except with one or two friends
of the army, The particular admirers oi Mr..

He has read this correspondence lin Jan.

General Jackson had sent him copy. OF
the ANONYMOUS letter, to put him on his
guard against Gen. Scott. The latter, jest
ing.y remarked to Gen. Brown, that if
spy had been placed on him, the president
was the person-for at the time the anony-
nous letter was written, the twowere MA
king a tour around the north west frontier
and on terms OF much mutualrespect and
good will. Gen. Scott, has reason to be-
lieve, moreover, that, Gen. brown IS well
pleased with Mr.. Monroe ,as president, and
the latter with gen. Brown as the comipan..
der ofthe army. This is to The honor OF
both, for gen. Brown is known to be de-
cided Ciintonian.
