Many of the prisoners then gave up all hope Of

themselves on the protection of Mr. Crawford the
British Consul. Two of the Mississippi voun-
teers, Americans, called themselves Irishmen, in

Deor Sir: l see a letter going the rounds of
the newspapers from Allen Z. Owen, L, S. Con
sui at Havana. Permit me through the columns
of your paper, to correct some of his statements
in regard to the conduct towards Col. Crttenden's
command, and other American prisoners since
confined in the Puhta AT Havana. In the first
place, he says;
q reside about four miles from this place, and
not being well on the morning of the 10Th, did
not reach my Office till some after 10 clock, where
for the first time, heard of the capture of about
fifty men who had come with Lopez to this island
in the steamer Pampero. l, at the time,
heard that the prisoners had been tried, found
guilty condemned ordered to be executed, the
order for their execution sent forward and that
they were about being removed from the harbor
where they were, to the place of execution. .
This is the most perfect collection of falsehood
| ever met with, and is only equalled in absurdity
by The audacty of the man in thus attempting to
justify lis conduct through the American press
He does no. live four miles out of town, nor was
he sirh at the time referred to. He did know in
time OF the arrest OF Col Criuenden and his party
was sent for by them, and positively refused to
see them on the score that they were outlaws
The American, German and English citizens resi-
ding in Havana, will testify to this whenever cal
led upon.
The American ConsuPs assertion that the priso-
ners had been tried, found guilty and condemned,
IS tasehood, that every man IN the United States
at all acquainted with Spanish law and Spanish
rule, must see at once 1t is not the custom to
try prisoners in Havana, other than by the gofrote
or shooting in the back, which Mr. Owen knew at
the time he penned his letter, as well the Gov
ernor General did himself; and, Judging from
Mr.. Owens conduct, | should think he more
in dread of getting in prison himself than anxious
to get others out The Governor General exer-
cises great influence over cowardly wretches like
Allen f. Owen, matter what country they may
hail from Hence | account, in a great measure
for his neglect of duty in permitting the Ameri
cans to be shot.
With regard to the other prisoners his conduct
is equally outrageous. When | reached the pris-
on | found eight ten of my comrades there, and
they all said that the Consul had not been to see
them. | also sent the same evening, by an
American merchant at Havana, to Mr. Owen, and
he refused to come, saying that our own Govern
ment did not recognize u.s.. When Capt. Platte,
of the sloop- -ofwar Albany, visited us, l sent to
Mr., Owen by him, and he again refused to come
Then Lieut.. Taylor, of the Albany, said he
would .smake him come, : and the next morning
Mr. Owen paid us a visit with Capt. Platte. As
he came in the Americans gathered around him,
and for some reason he backed through the door,

SCHoOLEY 5, BELMOT HALL,
SCHOoLEY's, MOUNTAIN SPRING,
Ne,g Jersey, July 25, 1851.

Ny Dear Sir Having escaped the heats Of
the city, l am almost inclined, amid the beauties
of nature which surround me here, the high hills,
the pure cool air, the fragrant forests, and the
ripcning haryests, to postpone until my return to
arid. streets, and studies, the attention to which
your request is entitled. ] cannot, however, feel
at rest while imagining that my silence may posi-
bly, be misnterpreted, and therefore hasten TO
send you the views, which you kind enough
TO wish repeated.
On the topics of your letter, dated the 4th inst,
from Peach Point Brazoria county, Texas, have
long entertained definite and decided opinions
AS they are somewhat different from any avowed
by public men in this quarter, should feel differ
ent IN holding confesslng them, were 1t not that
every days progress in great federal expert
ment confirms to me their soundness, indeed their
absolute necessity. l cannot work out the safety
OF the Union in their absence. That Union was
designed, and is fitted to be the best and most per-
manent security for as much of combined freedom
and happiness as societies are permitted to enjoy,
and 1t has always seemed to me not merely rash
and irrational, but grossly illogical to discaim
doubt any OF Its essential springs of vitality
Oa10n, IN Its political sense, is the opposite of con-
SOLtddtlOn. The elements necessary to a bare idea
of a Union are antagonistic to those of consoli-
dation; and yet | cannot help thinking that all the
mistakes and mschefs to which we have been
subjected found an origin in the habitual tenden-
cy of many very able statesmen, to import from
old consolidated empires their products of legis-
lation and government, and to fasten them upon
the new American condition of mere federal union.
How often do we hear and see the strictly decon-
sttutonalised term, nation, substituted for that OF
Union? A substitution plausible and innocent In
the sphere of our foreign relations, but full OF IN
sinuating and pernicious encroachment wherever
the domestic limits, reservations and guarantees
are involved. 1t found no place IN the structure
framed by the convention of 1897. Were mol
at this moment away from home, more IN search
of health than disposed to labor, L should be
tempted to note, from congressional and executive
records, some of the errors apparently run into,
both of reasoning and of policy, under the seduc-
tive influence of round language. No stronger
illustration could be given of Mrabeau's assertion
that "words things" faye, and fatally seri-
GUS things, too y than the extent to which, with
such aids, the meaning of our Constitution, if not
the nature of our government has been affected.
