The Union and American Gen. ZOllicOfsr's
Speech, again.


We bad so fully exposed the fallacy, insccu'
racy, and injustice of the Union and Anaersean's
various assaults upon some Of the minor points
in Gen. ZoLLTooFFER's printed speech, that we
hardly expected it to return to the charge
without some new material for the contro-
versy. But its issue Of Saturday, referring to
its notable misstatement from the Blue Book,
and our exposition Of its gross inaccuracy,
says:
Gen. Zollicoffer stated that out of 4,3l3 officers
10 the various departments, 1881 were foreigners
We seated that there were but 326 foreigners
reported in the Blue Book exclusive OF consuls and
diplomatic agents. The True Wig declared that
there were near 500-Te don't remember the pre-
rise number, but it was less than 500, including
The consuls So, the True Whig's pretended cor
MA; while that very correction showed that Gen.
tolicoffer was in error 1881.
There are two facts, which, in justice to
Gen. Zollicoffer, the Union and american
should not fail to state in this connection-but
we do not expect it to state them fully and
fairly, because they dissolve its whole criticism
into nothingness, or something worse. First:
we expressly said in our counter statement
from the Blue Book, that we had not looked
''into the post offices and mail agencies, schich
gu about tao thirds Of tho book" Second:
while the Union and AmericGn's statements
are made as from the book, the statement which
Gen. Zollicoffer made in his speech he did not
vouch for, but frankly and expressly said he
took it as he found it elsewhere, and did not
know it to be correct.
We should not deem it worth while to ad-
vert to this subject again, but that we under
stand copies of the Union containing its erro-
neous statement purporting to be made from
the Blue Book, with that article pen-marked,
are scattered ''thick as the leaves of Valam-
brosia" in the lower counties of the district.
By this means, we suppose his opponents hope
to make an impression unfavorable to the &C
curacy and reliability of Gen. ZOllicofer's
speech as a matter of-fact argument. But his
abundant Authorization of numerous other
vastly more important and conclusive state
ments for which he does vouch, is q sufficient
answer TO such paltry and transparent criti-
cisms, exhibiting at once their utter falacy
and injustice. Why do they not, like bold
and manly asSailants, attack the main body of
his argument2 Because they dare not. They
dare not, can not, assail the vital and main
facts-facts stated upon the speakers knowl-
edge-and which are conclusive of the whole
argument.

We have before US another beautiful speci-
men Of the liberation of the anti-American
party. In the estimation of the present Ad-
ministration, to be in favor of Americans
ruling in America" is an offence against the
American government sufficient to Justify re-
moval from Office. To be in favor of Catholi-
cism and the Papal Hierarchy-to pray for the
domination of the Pope, and aid the spread of
foreign influence in America, is a sufficient
recommendation for Office.

from Mr.. Porter explaining the reasons for

SH:-Since you have requested me 70 state
whether or not you were dismissed from the In
spection of Customs because Of incapacity, derec.
ton to duty or trustworthiness, have to say land
do so most cheerfully,) that the only reason why
you were removed by me az Collector was because
of the admitted fact that you were a member of
the new political party known as 'KnoW Nothings.p
In order to be at all consistent after the public
declaration / had made, had but the one course
TO pursue; and will here state, IN all frankness
that regret your connexion with that "order,"

rity, honesty, industry and fidelity, as have in
any one with whom am connected.
With my best wishes for your prosperity and
happiness, ain, sir, your Ob't serv't,
THOS. G. PORTER.
The Crescent vouches for the authenticity
Of this correspondence. We ask American
citizens to look at it. Love of country has
become crime in the estimation of the pres
sent anti-American Administration, aud the
hvowal Of such a sentiment is the signal for
war. AS remarks the Crescent, the fiat has
gone forth; aad we presume il will remain the
policy of the Government until the terrible
blunder Of 1859 is remedied in 1856 The
spectacle is strange and humilating-as won
deriai as debasing. In all ages of the world,
love OF country, pride of nativity, devotion
10 the sol! and the sons of the soil on which a
man was born, has been considered cardinal
virtue IN the citizen. B1a il was reserved for
this enlightened age, aud for people claim
ing TO be the most intelligent aud independent
OF any upon earth, TO inAugurate a totally op
posite doctflnel With this Administration.

THE CAPTURE OF SAN JUAs DBL Sur BY Cot.
WALKKR-The n. Y Courier has received the
following intelligence from a passenger by the
Northern Light:
Walker arrived OF San Juan del Sur in the brig
Vesta on the morning OF June 2sth, and succeeded
in landing his whole party, consisting of some 90
men, at a small place 10 the north Of the town,
which they captured without difficulty, after which
they marched direct on Rivas, which they took
without resistance. Here they were joined by about
200 soldiers, adherents of Gen. CastillOn.
On the news Of Walkers landing being received
at San Juan, the soldiers stationed that port 2OO
marched for Divas to give HIM battle, but seem to
have thought better of it, as they returned the
same night. On the 29th Of June firing was heard
in the direction OF Rivas, and il supposed that
fight had taken place, but nothing definite was
known.
The passengers which came down in the Sierra
Nevada met detachment OF Government troops
who had been to Virgin Bay collecting the arms
that had been left there. The troops that had
Joined Walker we're said to be the best in the coun-
Try, and the greater portion Of the intelligent

ton, however, was received from those who were

party, with whom Walker had sided most Of the

From the Washington Union of MAY II.

I" This gentleman, [Gov. Reeder,1 is now in
Washington, not for the purpose SO generally at
tributed to him. of invoking the action of the Gen
eral Government in regard to the administration of
his duties as Governor of Kansas, but simply pre-
paratory to his return in a week or two, with his
family to the Territory which he proposes to make
his future home 1t is satisfactory to observe the
contrast between his quiet and manly department
aud the violent expressions unustly charged to him
by his enemies. Not for single moment has he
been diverted from the plain. Straightforward path
of duty. Refusing all participation with either ex-
treme in the late disturbances in the Territory and
planting himself upon the conceded principles of
the Kansas and Nebraska bill, he has steadily main
tanned the attitude which might be expected from
man who for thirty years has been a leading and
consistent member of the Democratic party-the
party of the constitution. A northern citizen-a
Pennsylvania after the school of Buchanan and of
Dallas, he has throughout his political career, OPP
posed the Wilmot Proviso, sustained the fugitive
slave law, advocated the Kansas and Nebraska BILL
denounced abolition FROM first to last and boldly CO.
operated in every movement for the protection of
the South in its rights under the constitution.
"Hence it is that, while he has resolutely and
consistently resisted all attempts to control the des-
tines OF Kansas by means not entirely legal and fair
he has never sought to give the advantage to either
of the contendng interests. Perfectly conscious,
and deeply regretting, that the mischievous efforts
of Greedy and the northern fanatics have been made
the pretext for the recent border excitements, he
has firmly occupied the ground of discouraging
every movement that might disturb the public mind,
or revive those unfortunate divisions which have so
often convulsed our happy country. We are not
disappointed that general excitement has resulted
from fhal in
tingy say to the true friends of constitutional prin-
cples in every part of the Union that no man could
more faithfully representthe conservative sentiment
of the country, will more steadily and conscien-
tiousy labor to bring order out of confusion, than
the present Governor of Kansas. e

Abolition Dsnunciation Of the American Platform
The New York Tribune of the 9th instant,
quotes paragraph from the address of the
American party in Georgia, commencing the
National American Platform adopted at Phila-
delphia, and adds:
In other words, the platform of the National
Know Nothings is not to be taken as neutral on the
subject of the Kansas bill and the extension OF
slavery but is explicitly and directly in favor OF
these Infamous measures. Whoever places himself
on that platform pledges himself to sustain by his
vote and influence on all occasions the enlargement
OF the area of slavery and the curtailing of the
of freedOm-pledges himself by implication at
least to aid the Missouri rui6ans in carrying cleo
tons in Kansas by the appliances of civil war, and
ensts a supporter OF the pure and lofty schemes
of Siringfelow and Atchison. Such is the policy
of the National Know Nothings as interpreted, and
rightly interpreted by their Southern allies. What
do the freemen Of the country think OF ity

stroying. ''By their works ye shall know
