The Hon. the Secretary of War, Washington:
SIR: From the arbitrary and illegal conduct-the
malice and gross injustice practised by the general
officer, commanding in chief this army-Major Gen.
eral Winfield Scott appeal, as is my right and
privilege, 10 the constitutional commander: il. chief
the President of the United States.
I-accuse Mai Ten. Winfield Scott of having acted
in a manner u~nbecoming an officer and a gentleman.
He has availed himself of his position to publish, by
his authority, to the army which he commands, an
OF the influence of his station to give the highest ef-
feet to, an order, bearing date Nov. 18th, 1947, and
numbered $40, ~[oficial printed copy herewith calcu-
lated and designed to cast odium and disgrace upon
Brevet Mai. Gen. Worth. to bring that general officer
into ~disrepute with the army, and to lessen, if not
destroy his Just influence and proper authority with
those officers and soldiers over whom he is placed in
command. That he has, withoutinquiry or investi-
CATION, in the said order. published to the army and
to the world,l falsely charged Brevet Maj. Gen.
Worth with having written, or connived at the WI
ting a certain letter, published in the United States,
and TO which he has been pleased TO apply the cpl
thets of"scandalous. malignant, &C. Thathe has
made these statements to the world, giving to them
che sanction of his high authority and the influence
of his position. whilst he has acknowledged that he
had no information as to the authorship of the letter
in question:; and when respectfully and properly ad-
dressed upon the subject by the undersigned, appel
liant, he has declined to reply, whether or not he in
tended toimpute TO Brevet Maj. Gen. Worth conduct
which he has characterized as ''scandalous, malig-
nant, &c" Be pleased to refer to correspondence
herewith marked from A to E.
do not urge present action on these accusations
becouee of heinconyenience of the service in with.
drawing many officers from their duties; but dc
bumblv and respectfully invoke the Presidents exam
ination into the case, and such notice thereof anf
protection from the arbitrary conduct OF SAD genera
as he may deem suitable.
Ihaye the honor to be, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
