Gen. ZolIicoffer stated that there were 8, 1921
foreigners in the public departments. The Gazette
gives the number, relying upon the True Wing for
authority, at 457. This is a hundred and odd more
than we made the number, but it is nearly 5000
less than Gen. Zollicohers estimate.-So, to fasten
us, the Know Nothing papers do not hesitate to
show an error by Gen. Zolicoffer of near three
thousandI- Union and american, 18Th.
The Union and American seems determined
not to do justice to Gen. Zollicoffer. The Gen.
eral is not, properly speaking, convicted of any
"error," because he did not UOuch for the state
ment in question, but expressly said, upon
citing it, 81 have not taken time to examine the
official record to rerVy" it, "and therefore give
what | see stated elsewhere" To convict
Gen. F. of IAN error" really, it must be shown
that he does not cite correctly AS STATED else
where" what he professedly and avowedly
gives as citation merely.
Again: our statement from the Blue Book
showed 557 (not 457) foreigners by birth
holding Office under the departments at WASH
ington, besides 545 whose birth places are
listed as unknocn, but of whom it is reasonable
to presume that they were not born In the Uni
ted States, or their places of birth scOutd have
been known. Yet again: The statement cited
by Gen. Zollcotfer included, without exception,
all "the various departments of the General
Government" while on the contrary, in max
ing out ours, we expressly said that we had,
for want of time, made no count of the Post
Office and Mail Agencies, which fill about ta00-
thirds Of the 6ooki
The Union and american cuts a pretty fig
ure, trying to convict Gen. Zollicoffer of 'an
error,n with statement of its own drawn
professedy from the Blue Book, every item of
which has been shown from the same book to
be erroneous Our statement, we repeat, will
not serve its purpose against Gen. Zollicoffer,
because it only covers about one third of the
groundin controversy, though 1t covers enough
to show every one of the Union and An,eri-
cans figures to be incorrect

Gov r X. Call.

We omitted to mention in our notice of the
Mass Meeting aud Barbecue at Gallatin, on
Saturday, the name of Gov. CALL of Florida,
among the speakers. Gov. G. made one OF his
eloquent, powerful and effective speeches on
that occasion. His heart is in the American
cause, and we regret that circumstances be-
yond his control will prevent him from re-
naming much longer with us-from doing
further battle in the cause, and enjoying on
the spot, the fruits of the signal victory which
awaits the cause in this State.

Gov. johnson brought to the Test.

We have already published full account OF
the discussion between the candidates for
Governor, at Jacksboro', in East Tennessee,
over the signature of four respectable and
reputable gentlemen who heard it. 1t will be
recollected that on that occasion Gov. John
son made great buster about the White
Basis" question, and charged Col. Gentry with
lodging it in East Tennessee. 1t was upon
this charge that the gallant Gentry admins
tered 10 his opponent the most crushing and
whitening rebuke He Indignantly denied the
imputation, and offered to enter into bond to
discuss the question fully at every future APP
pointment. He dared Gov. johnson to pro-
mise to urge upon the Legislature, if elected,
his Free Basis Measure. This was a clincher
upon the Governor-it was more than he bar
gained for. His free basis hobby was gotten
up for purpose, and here was bold attempt
TO thwart that purpose. 1t was entirely
agreeable to the Governor to represent to the
people of West and Middle Tennessee that his
Free Basis resolution was introduced in the
Legislature upon the spur of the moment
when several other counter resolutions were
under consideration-and to represent to the
people Of East Tennessee that it embodied a
great principle, and to contend in Campbell
county that uthe poor, honest, hard working
men of Campbell county were borne dO1on and
overpoDed By the rich and LOrdiy shareholders
West of the mountains, and that their oiUes
and children toere Weighed in the balances
against the negroes Of the Iordly sITUehOlders!"
All this is in accordance with his purpose
but TO recommend such a measure to the Leg
islature in his Gubernatorial message, is an-
other thing The Knoxville Register gives the
following account of the manner in which the
Governor met this issue:
johnson began his reply under much greater
embarrassment" we opine, than ever before. AT
Ger loundering almost through his time, without
answering the proposition Of Gentry, he &C. arose
and asked him plainly, yet respectfully, TO state
whether he would recommend that measure in his
Message, aud the only response he could extort
from him was " did'a INTRODUCE the question
into the cdnpdSs"
a. didn't introduce the question into the
canvass" Indeed But you did introduce"
it into the Legislature, and had it called up
thirteen days afterwards, when it was voted
down by ttoenty-tro to three. If you still adj
here to the policy indicated in that resolution
why not defend It in Fayet;e county with the
same arguments which you use in Campbella
This feature in Gov. Johnson's record, is
enough in itself, to oonsign him to deserved
oblivion. And we cannot believe that tue
people of Tennessee-either "the poor, honest,
hardworking men," or the "rich and lordly
Shareholders" between whom Gov. johnson is
so industriously endeavoring to create
breach, will merely for the sake Of party
triumph, give tins principle their endorsement
st the ballot-box.

The Oontrast-Who are National and who Abo-

Under this head the Union and american
of Sunday morning quotes with ar air of tri-
nmph, the following resolution passed by the
Democratic State Convention which assembled
at Harrisburg on the 4th inst:
ResOlved, That the Democratic party needs not,
on old aud settled issues TO declare its principles in
detail IL Is sufficient for to say that we belong
TO the Democracy Of the Union, and recognize no
geographical lines between the north and the south.

We give the italics as in the Union. Now,
let us see what all this talk about "constitu
tional rights" and popular sovereignty in
the territories" really amounts 10 in the esti-
nation of PennsyItGnia Democrats. We learn
from the Pitts5urg Gazette that the following
resolutionwas offered and acted on separately,
and was rejected By vote of forty-six yeas to
sixty mays:
ResoiUsd, That every new State ought 10 be ad.
mitted into the Union with such Constitution as a
majority Of the citizens thereof shall adopt provided
there is nothing therein conflicting with the CSnsti.
tuition of the United States; and whether such State
shall have adopted or rejected slavery, is not mat
ter OF inquiry by the General Government The
adoption of any measure which would defeat this Is
direct ehcroachment upon the popular sovereignty
OF such State. That under these views, which We
believe 20 be correct. the bill erecting Kansas and
Nebraska Territories, leaving the question Of slavery
with the people, was not only constitutional, bat
expedient and proper and that We DO hereby en-
dOrse and approve the same.

AMRRroANIsM rs ABoLrTIoNIsN.--We COM
mend the following short item, which we clip
from the National Era, the organ OF the Abo-
lition party in the Union, to the consideration
of those anti-American editors who are charg-
ing that the American party is aboltionized

deeply interested in this point, who are on the
ground and who have better opportunities tor

who make the assertion, are of a very differ

majority Of sirty nays to .torty-sir yeas! Let
Southern people decide, with this record be-
fore them, ''who are national and iohO are abo-
litionistsl"
By the way, we cannot receive as authority,
the New York Tri6une's reports of the action
of the American party, without authentic
corroborative infornation-as the Tribune is
one of the most deadly haters and nnscrupu-
lous opponents Of that party. Our informa-
ton is that the American State Council of
Pennsylvania ratified the highly conservative
and patriotic platform adopted by the National
American Council at Phiadelphia-and that
subsequently a portion of the members of the
State Council eeceded, and under the lead of
Gov Johnston took position on q free soil
basis like that described in the TFi5unes des-
patch quoted in contrast with the first resolu-
tion above, by the Union and american.
We call attention to the following despatch,
current in other papers at the time. 1t ap-
peared in the Banner of this city on the 18th:

The State Council Of Know Nothings, which has
been 10 session here for the past two days, adj
iourned this afternoon after passing resolutions
dorsing the national platform adopted at Phiadel-
phia, and calling convention to meet in Cincinnati
on the 9th of January next.
A split occurred on the question Of endorsing
the national PLATFORM and the Freesoilers and Alb
olitionists withdrew from the council. Governor
Johnston heads the seeding party, leading off for
q Northern party that shall repudiate the Philadel
phia platform by striking out the 18th article and
inserting declaration in favor Of the Missouri com
promise.
II is said also that Gov. Gardner has addressed
letter to Gov. Johnston, inviting Pennsylvania to
