OF course no preparations could have been made
for the reception Of Mr. Clay that particular day.
even il il had been desired by his friends.
On the same day he heard the firing Of cannon,
and inQuirng he learned that the various militia
~ companies had been ordered out to be reviewed
by the Governor Of the State, and that they wero
marching from their several places of assembling,
to Canal street, the place designated Cor the review
and going there to witness such strange method
OF observing the Sabbath, he saw the governor and
his suit pass up and down the line, reviewing the
troops in true military order.
When the Governor and suit left the ground the
line was broken up and the several companies
marched OF under their respective commanders in
various directions. Our informant says that Mr..
Clay could not possibly have been present as he
neither saw him or heard his name mentioned dur
the review. and he Jour informant) passed up and
down the line Immediately in the rear of the Gov
ernor and his suit and must have known it had Mr..
Clay been there.
Our friend neither saw nor heard any thing of
Mr. Clay that day. after he passed from the boat to
the house Of his friend and he says unhesitatingly
that there was not one in ten Of the citizens Of
New Orleans that knew that he was in the city UNI
til the next day.
We are thus eanbled to PROVE the falsehood Of
the charge made by the Hartford Times; and now
we ask honest men fall parties what language can
be severe enough to characterize such profligacy-
loco foco paper wilf1lly publishes part only
Of letter, which part conveys an impression and
charge which the whole letter would not; and on
this fraud the papers Of the party, with hypocritica
zeal for the sanctity of the Sabbath, mourn over
its pretended dissertation by Mr.. Clay.
It should also be borne in mind that the Sabbath
was actually violated by one of their own party
GovERNoR MoUToN, the locofoco Governor Of
Louisiana. Under all the circumstances, we think
this is the vlest thing Of which the loco focos have
been guilty during the present political canvass.
