He did not hear of the rejec- tion of Mr. Slidell till the 23d of January. The order was issued on the 13th of January previous; and the giving such an order, under the circum- stances, was, in my judgment, such an act of usurpation as renders him liable to the severest censure. It was an assumption of the war power, and was the cause of the vast expense of treasure and of blood which this war has occasioned. Mr. Rhett (of South Carolina) here interposed with a question as to dates. Mr. Dixon r...eplied. I assure the honorable gentleman from South Carolina that I have been extremely careful and guarded in what I have stated; and I repeat, that there is no evidence that the President had received the slightest hint from Mr. Slidell of the fact of his rejection, till ten days after the order to march to the Rio Grande was given. But if the gentleman from South Caro- lina, or any one who hears me, still doubts with regard to this, I beg to refer him to Mr. Buchanan's letter to Mr. Slidell of the 20th January, 1846.
