Mr.. CLAY vimhiciatcd by his Ac-
cslser.
The presidents Editor of the Union
imauincs that he has caught Mr. CLAY in
a misstatcmcnt of fact. in his stating in his
late speech at Lexington. that while Mr.
SLIDELL was vending his way to Mexico
with diplomatic credentials to treat of the
disputed territory, General TAYLOR was
ordered to occupy the disputed territory
with an army. and did menace the Next
can CITY of Matamoras with his cannon
planted opposite it, in short rangc.-The
statement of Mr.. CLAY was true. Gen.
TAYLOR was ordered to move from Corpus
Christi to the Rio Grande on the 18th OF
January, 1916, and he commenced his
march on the 18th of March following.
and arrived at the destination ordered by
the President opposite Matamoros. before
il was known to the President in w ash
ington, that Mr.. SLIDELL was not received
bv the government of Mexico. The re-
fusal to receive Mr.. SLIDEIL by the McXi-
can government, was not known To the
President of the United States till the ! 9th
day Of April, 1916, full three months after
Gen. TAYLOR was ordered to take post on
the Rio Grande, and twenty days after he
began his march, in obedience to that or
der. The Union, itself, on the 10th of
February, near a month after the order to
Gen. TAYLOR was dated, informed its
readers not only that Mr.. SLIDEEL had not
been rejected, but that che had been re-
ceived with much courtesy, and welcomed
in the society of the metropolis as an Gle
giant and accomplished gentleman. He
had not yet been received by the govern
ment in an official capacity; neither had
they dcc/ined his rccrpaion.
Thus is Mr.. CLAY indicated out Of the
mouth of the presidents Editor, who is
now the accuser.--Cin. Alias.
