A CHAPTER OF SECRET HISTORY.
From the JYtw Fork Evening 1‘vsi.
The two letters which arc sutj ined, form an impnr
I taut passage in the secret history of the Annexation of
Texas. Our readers are aw are that several Demecratic
members of the I'nitrd States Senate strove to induce
Congress lo adopt such a method yf annexing Texas as
would avoid the danger of a war w ith Mexico, and sat
I i,fy ev'ry part of ihe Union. The plan of Mr. Ileiiion,
proposing lo ariai ge by negotiation the terms on which'
I das sin.old he annulled into the Union, had these ob
jecis in view. If it bid been adopted, we should have
] acquired Texas without war, bloodshed, or a national
debt. The Democratic Senators who snpjoried it had
it in their power to Compel Congress to adopt their meth
od or none. How they were induced lo consent to a
measure which put it in the power of the President to
am ex 1 exas anil the war at once is related in the let ers
I hey were betrayid into the step, it seems, hy an act
of the grossest p rfidy, which is disclosed i.i the let
ters of .Mr. Tappan and Mr. Biair, which wo publish
1 lo-uay.
" e It.iuk. for cur p«it, that this fraud should have
been diselt sfd the moment k was cuiisummated the
moment that Mr Polk, after his solemn promises—af
ter all his pretences of haste to recall Mr. Tyler’s cland
estine messenger, and to revoke the i ft'er of which lie
W'as the bearer, dielarid in his annual message that tie
had ratified Mr. lylcr’sproct edings, and coi.fiimeu his
offer to annex 1 exas anj the war. A regard to their
own reputation, it seems in us. should have led them to
make a frank and full disclosure . f the treachery ami du
plicity by which they were made involuntary accompli,
ces .in the guilt of precipitating the c. untry into a war.
Ihey seem, on their part, to have thounlit other
wise. =
I he only important point, however, is tho the trn.li
of the narrative. Mr. Titppin and Mr. Blair agree in
its circmnslances, and. if mure testimony were needed,
there arc other Senators who, if they ever speak on the
subject, -will tell the same story. We are Sorry lor tin
pre eminence ill trickery which it gives Mr. Polk over
Mr. I yler. In all future histories of the annexation i t
lexas, tins story of a promise solemnly given and delib
erately violated, will form a part.
LETTERS OF MESSRS TAPPAN AND
BLAIR.
STEUBENVILLE, July 21, 1ST*.
7 o the Ed it t r of the Evening 1}cr,t :
Dear Sir : Since the ndmissi >n *>1 IVxas in'o the Uni
on was consu nmated. 1 have thought, with you, that
my \'Me on that occasion required explanation. I was in
favor (f receiving I'^t Stale into the Union as soon as
it could bo done oil fair and just terms, and with the
consent of Mexico ; an-J I believed, from all I c mid
learn, that this might bo accomplished at a Jess ox: 0; s'1
than it would cost to wage a war of u::e yeai’s duration
for obtaining it. So disposed. 1 had not only voted a
gainst Mr. ly lei’s treaty of annexation, because it was
exceptionable in its terms, hut in vi»hti..u of a rule oftlm
Senate, from an imperative seine of public duty, had
published it. and the c rrespondence with which it was
accompanied, because il appeared to me that the whole
affair ajft rded evidence oj a daring conspiracy to divide
the Lilian, by arraying the free and- slave States against
each other; evidence which considerations entirely para
mount to all Senatorial formulas required to be imu.ed;**
ately divulged,
i he inquiry is a very natural one—bow men whode
sired the admission of I exas and voted against the trea
ty of annexation, could afterwards vole fur ilu*r« solution !
brought into the House of Representatives bv Mr. Mil- 1
ton Brown, which was niora exceptionable in its terms
than the treaty. Now that the war with Mexico is en
ded, ami the public interest cannot be injund < v answer
t ig }UIS inquiry, I give y m tb„ f ,11 .wing statement, j re
mising that the public history of this transaction is in tin*
Congressional Gl. be, vol. 14. page 358 to 3G3, and Con
gresiord Globe of Februaty 24th, 1847.
\« hen the "joint r-suluiioti declaring the terms on
which Congress will admit 'IVxas into the Union as a
State,-’ was b tore the s nate, it was s » m found that :i
number of the Democratic members who were favorable
to the admission of I exas would vote against thtit resolu
tion. I was one (f them. li. this stage of the matter it
was pfopi.SKl that, instead of rejecting the M use resolu
tion, ice sho dd amend it by adding, as an alternative
proposition, the substance of Mr. Baden's bill to obtain
Texas by negotiating. I had strong objections to this
p'an, for 1 did not wee the necessity or propriety of pass
ing the House resolution either with or without the pro
pwseJ amendments, but it was urged that the session was
so near its close that the measure would be defeated if
we substituted Mr. Benton’s p’an for tlm other, whereas
it we made it an additional article it would readily pass
ihe House in that f.rm. This reasoning did not satisfy
me, but finding that my friends were all satisfied with
such proposed arrangement, 1 acceded to it—provided
that 1 could have satisfactory assurance that the plan
proposed in such amendment Would Le the only one used
and submitted to Texas.
Mr. Polk was in th ^ city ; it was understood that
he was very anxious Congress should act on the subject
| before he came into office; it was also undeistood that
the proposition to amend the House resolution originated
with Mr. Polk. It had been suggested that, if we did
| so amend the resolution, Mr. Calhoun would send off
; the House resolution to Texas, and so endeavor to fore
j «*ior of Mr. Polk; but Mr. McDuffie,his friend,
having met this suggestion by the declaration that he
I "'“uld not have the “audacity” to do such a thing, it
was no more thought of. One diffi mlty remained, and
that was the danger of putting it into the tower of Mr.
P*»lk to submit the House resolution to Texas. Wo
understood, indeed, that he intended to submit the Sen
ate proposition to that Gjvernmp.nl; but without being sat
isfied that he w uhl do ibis, I would not vote for the re
. solution, and it was weil ascertained that, without my
; v«»te, it Could not pass. Mr* Haywood, wIn* had voted
! w ith me, and was opposed to the 1 louse resolution, un
dertook to converse with Mr. Polk on the subject, and
I did so.—He afterwards told me that he was authorized
j hv Mr. Polk to say to myself and other Senators, that,
it we could pass the resolution with the amendment pro
j posed to be made, he would submit the Senate amend
! ment as the sole proposition to Texas. Upon ibis as
surance I voted for the amendment in >ved by Mr. Wal
ker, containing the substance of Mr. Benton’s biiI, and
voted fur the resolution as it now stands on the statute
book.
b It is matter of history that Mr. Calhoun did have the
“audacity” t.» send off a special messenger with the
House resolution to Texas, on the 3d .March, a few min
utes before Ite went out of office; and that f\h' Tolk adop
ted and confirmed this act of Mr. Ca'h 'Wi's so admit
ting Texas into the Union, and placing the U. Slates
in a state of war with Mexico.
Knowing tlut my esteemed friend F. P. Blair had
taken a deep interest in this subject while it was before
Congress, [ addressed a note to him requesting a state
ment of his recollection of the way the Texas question
was not through the Senate. The allowing is li is an
swer.
I am, sir, yours,

Silver Spring. .July 7, IS-13.
Hon. Ben. Tappan, Steubenville, Ohio ;
Dear Sir—Y ,ur letter of me 1st instant asks me to
slate w hat I know ‘’as to ||,P Way the Texas question
was got through the Senate.” I comply, ami will not
encumber the narrative with immaterial details.
When the resolution passed by the House of Rqpre
senta'ives for ills annexation of'Texas reached the Sen
ate, it waa ascertain that it would fail in that body. Ben
ton, Bagby. I)ix, I lay itu.'id. and, as I understand, you
also, were absolute in opposition to this naked prop isi
lion of annexation, which necessarily brought with it
the war in which Texas waa engag.-3 with Mexico.—
i Ail had uetermined to adltero to the bill submitted by
i Col. Benton, for the appointment of a commssion to ar
range the terms of annexation whit 'Texas, and to make
the attempt to render its accession to our Union nspala
, taldp as possible to Mexico before its consummation—
It ita3 hoped that Hits point might might ha e b-emfl

W hilt* the question was thus pamJirig, I met Mr.
Brown, (late Governor of i'ennessee, then a member of
. the Molise ) who sm treated that the resolution of the
Mouse and the hill of C, I. Bmit .n. preferred by the Sen

and leaving the Presi.lent elect (who alone would have

We were very much impress- d hy the l*» re of a re.

The Western Ucs .tc—The Sentinel tries to buoy
up the confidence of ihe despairing Taylorit ’S, hy h tid
ing out some iiopes of the Western Reserve. But iiieso
hopes are toolite. .Mr. (inklings and his friends arc
\ openly committed a. ain$l Tayhr. .Mr. Ghidings gen
erality poses* es the c 'ifuteire of'the Reserve fir man than
any -man in Ohio.S t long a* he continues to act f-tirlessly
against the extension *j shivery, so long will In have that
confidence. In 1311 when Mr. Clay canid Ohio hy
h Mr Giddings’t istrict, com p;«sed i.f only Jour con n
j ties gave .Mr. Clay,o^Jo! majoriity over Mr. Polk. Tho
other c ittn ies of the Eesen e added to that 3( 00 tna
i »nty. So it is cle^r, that when the Reserve yields, the
W higparty ill Ohio arc prostrated. This is a conced
ed fact. '1 hose who kn »\v the indomitable energy of
(dual.figs and Ifam’in, arc (.tcm : that they are not men
to shrink f rom the responsibility they have assumed.
It is known that Ucucnd Taylor •$ more disliked a
mong the Whig masses of Ohio, os account of his
IDENTITY' WITH THE XV A It AND SI. V V E It Y, Til AN ANY"
, MAN IN THE NATION. If the Wh\gs had immimted
Scott or Clay, they could have carried that State: but
1 as it is, Zachary Taylor’s prosper s in Ohio are below
par. .\> was cogently «a!d fry one i iimintely acquainted '
with Oli o poli ics. *‘VNhen the Whigs in fh-Nat onal
Convention train pled down Ohio, they crushed out their
own hearts’ blond.”—Daily Wisconsin.
And thus we 9* e adopted, for effect in Ohio, the sen
' timent that General Taylor is more idcut'Jitd with slave
ry than any other man in the nation.
But the Union g es much farther than merely copying
anti-slavery at tides from the Ohio papers. In the Union
of Sunday morning, we have the loilowing remarkable
eJitorial paragrap1 :
“The Lexington (Ky ) Observer ref rs to the course
i of the Barnburners and the conventim in Buffalo. W*>

they will carry off* a portion, perhaps a majority, id tho

i be to crush General Cass. Kxperienceis directly in tho
teeth of these speculations. It may injure us in New
York:—perhaps defeat us in that State, but it is sumo
tune since we ceased ti» rely upon her vote. Through
out New Kngland and in Ohio, the Barnburner move
ments are ca'ciliated essentially to injure (Jon. Taylor.—
We count confidently upon the vote of Ohio by a largo
i majority. The Whig members of Congress from that
State do not hesitate to express fears »<f their success —
