iEtr. TATLOWS AROE TO TEE RIO GILANISZIi.
We agree with the Gazette of the 12th that
"falsehood, in whatever corm attempted to be
palmed upon the nubile, is odious and-dierep+
utahle,,and demands a Prenipt refutation."....
Believing thus we timld have promptly refit
ted some of the "falsehoods" in 'Ai l article
,from which •we have quoted ' the shrive,' in our
last, had time and space permitted. We shall
do s a now, however :,i , ,
•
1 The Gazette says: "A gentleman (meaning
Judge Thompson) of high Political standing
recently asserted in thislitace, publicly, a
shameless falsehood, viz: that Gen. Taylor
advisctd;the'step which brotight about hostilties.
This cla-go was made for the purpose of ex
culpating President Polk and hisimmediate
counsellors from blame in the matter." ~ - Now,
Judge Thompson asserted no such thing. He
merely i femarkeil that the whiga said the
march of 4he Army from Corpus Christi to
the Rio Grande, "brought about actual hostil
ities," 'and that General Taylor advised that
movement. 'Whether that movement"brought _
about actual hostilities" or not—or whether a
collision would have been avoided; if - the
march had not been made, is a debatable ques
tion. Thus is "falsehood" numher' i one "re
, fined." i Judge Thompson made' no charge
1"for the •purpose of exculpating President
Polk MO, his immediate counsellors from
blame in the matter." He made l the charge
we have named to show the inconsistency of
whigery in supporting the very mail for Pres
' idept who advised the measure, Which they
(the whigs) say "brought about this unnatu
ral war between two .Republics." I Thus , is , ,
"falsehood" number ao "refuted."! 1 • ,
But the Gazette denies that GO, Taylor
advised the march of the army 'to 'the Rib
.1 -
Grande. To prove that this ()"snial i s a "falt l e
hood"—that he did advise the ma rch of the
army to the Rio Gratrile, , and that he oii)y
modified such advice upon certain ontirigeim
cies, which contingencies did not ' exist' "on
_
the 13th of Januar/I ,When the "War Dpart
ment peremptorily ordered- him tp advance
hi's position," as he himself had adtlsed—rind
that to Make 'Mit a case, the Gazette has
wilfully garbled one portion of the correspon
dence, and purposely. suppressed another,
thereby perpetrating itself a !"falsehood"—is
what we Anil now endeavor to prave.' For
this purpose! like the Gazette'we "Aral mere
ly give FACTS as recorded in official dude
ments, leaving the impartial ruder to . draw
... ,
his own deductions and colictmc2ions." And
if,.in_so doing, We occupy mob than we
can well•spare, we trust our readers will not
,think it uninnfitably employed, as it will place
the whole Matter in its true light. '
That the Administration intend to insist, in
ail neg otiations With Mjxico,after the Annex-
Lion o f Texas, lipool our claim to' he Rio
i I ; I
Gran tie, no one, we e belieVe, has everintended
or atqmpied to deny. The right of Te •as to
that boundary has nothing whatever to d with
the issue between us_and the Gazette. The
question simply is, did, cirdid not; Ge Taylor
advise the forward movement of the Ati ni.
tn i from
Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande: Tsi , prove
that he did, it may not be improper to•review
the correspondence previous- to the letter
recommending that, measure, which we titian
give in Mil. The series commences on the
