nOther FaISeh0Ou ntlied TO the COuhterl
.-Corwin's infamous advice to slau% hier
his own Countrymen.
In the same column Of yes,e tda,'s Jour.
nal. in which ts editor 10 forced TO pub
lnh communica, ion from Col. Morgan,
aud Mr., Foster, in relation to oalumn,es
that had previousl, appeared in that sheet,
we 6nd the following:
IA QUEsTloN OF V ERAcIrY.-The Hor.
Thomas Corwin says that he did moi advise
the MexicaDs to welcome the troops fine
Uni ed States, with bloody hands to hos
pitable graves, aud the editor al the Ohio |
Statesman says that he did
The well known ,ru h and purity Of the
Statesman wilt doubtless, give its editor
great advantages in this question Of ver>
acity."
Base as was the statement of Mr.. Cor
win, lie added insult to injury, by his
speech a, Cleveland. from which the Jour.
nal attempts to draw a denial ofthe charge.
10 that speech, Mr. Corwin. as we find
him reported in the Cleveland Herald, his
organ on the reserve has the following;
And in ny speech to the S,nate, to
which-l have already alluded. in showing
the Mexicans' powerful inducenent fo r a
protrscted struggle. / stated that ours
was an invading army, and that the citl-
Gems of weak and distracted sister Re.
public were called u pom to defend ell they
held most sacred--tAe grounds rendered
consecra,e BY the bio, of their s,res,
the graves OF their fathers-the.r Mothers,
sisters, ifs pring and ,heit fresdes; and
| stated that were l a Mexican, would
meet tits army with bloody hands, ano
Uelcome ii to hospitable graves And who
Of you, fellow clllzens, were foreign arr
nv TO invade our snll no matter what the
cause m,ght be, would no, ,hus meet and
thus welcome them! The man who eau.
no, respond TO such q sentiment is a ,rai
tor and unworthy of place am"ng men
And for utIering this sentiment to whict
no true patriot wenld take objection,
am represented as Wishing my brave coun
trymen to be slaughtered in a foreg,
country, in tins execrable war!" "'
In the above Mr.. Corwin admits al
tha, was charged. He tells Mexico, lha
were he(rhomas Gorwin) Mexican a

birth. he would meet tfe A me tc,n arm,
W, II tloody hands aud wetcome IL 10 hospi
table grapes He told lie enem, wha
he would do, if he were in their place
aand yet the Journal saws that he did nt
advise the Mrxicans. Couli falsehoo,
q more unhlusling be told! Could fedora
inGmy GO farther!
10 his speech TO the Senate, on whic
the charge vas first founded, and at tha
tme It was published 10 the Journal, an
the whole copied into the Statesman, Nj
: Corwin SAID:

Here we nave Tie sentence from VI
3 Corwin's speech, IN Which the inialnDu
advice was first given. In a previou
paragraph we have given Mr. Curwin'
version OF what he did say, both of whic
= bears out the Charge. Yet the Journs
I says Corwln denies the assertion II
. has not done so--be never will care d o %
