Speach of Daniel UUmann, Esq- We published in this issue the bold,man Ij and conseWative spacb of Mr.UIImann. Hit review pf the catholic question, and his proof that the opposition of tlie Amer ican Order to the Papist is directed not afrjiinst tbeif religious faith, but against their "higher. law" allegiance to a foreign potentate, art admirable and conclusire. But in the present aspect of thing?,we hail with-delight the patriotic and determined ktand taken jy Mr.UIImann for the con stitution, th Union, and the laws against t.e traitors ajucl disunionisU who would ag itate for their nullification or. subversion. There at Troy, in the heart of New York, Mr. UUmann has denounced the Black Republic-ins' aud the Democratic Freesoil crs. ' lie puts the Nashville Convention and the Fueion Convention of the free States upon he same ground. They were both disunion assemblieii He aj; wige- ly and ' significant! v, "the people , do. not ' tTe wWh JarticnlarJy . -twvViWxoti:. irast between Mr. UlIminhiiindMr'..-e ward." The! first animated with' a sincere' desire to conciliate and settle all sectional differencM. The other building his 'plat (()rm out of the wrecked harmony and shat-. tcred affections of the Union; Ve are aatisfied that the period of re union amongst the National Americans ap proaches. The BJnck Republicans do not propose to repeal the Nebraska' law, nor restore the) Missouri Compromise. They think they will gain more by the principle of Squatter Sovereignty, and the unqunJi fied admission of aliens than they have lost by the enactment of the law. They say, that under the Missouri Compromise the Sou'h migbi have had some shadow of right to demand admission of States erec- ted out of territory aonth . of the line ; .butinqt .only the Standard, but the Standard since the repeal of the Compromise they must take the consequence of their own principle of Teritorial Sovereignty, and of Congressional oposition to the admission of any more slaj-e States. The Black Repub licans then will not niter the laws of last session. Who else can or will ? They must stand. Then the issue between parties is this : Mr. .Seward heads a sectional party, which affirms one issue to the American people. The perpetual agitation of the slavery question, and the avowed abolition of slavery everywhere . The American party maintains the Union and the laws in culcates principles of frateroity and peaec, and resists their antagonists and traitors. Such is the position of Mr. UJlmann, and all other National Americans. ' We con aide ili an. tli Motional juestioD, aojkr as i. I. L. . .1' J .u- 1 ,m- j-wlai'ftw, settled uot marely by its withdrawal of the Kansas Mormon question, but by the ver dict of the people of Pennsilvnuia Califor nia, Ohio, and Indiana. Writh this withdrawal of the only issue which has divided the American party, what is to prevent its lmmediafe re-union upon the tacit basis of the law as it is, and "down with traitors aud disunionists!' as'proclaimed by UUmann ? The issue is thus simplified we see our enemy. It is the colored cohorts of Chase Seward, Wifeon.. Their object is to dis solve the Union. Our object is to preserve iu Their object is to carry the Alien and the Catholic, against American citzens and their institutions.. Can the result of this contest be doubtful There are thousands in the Black Repub lican rauks whose only object was to re peal certain acts of Congress obnexious to thern Theyj wishod to rebuke an intole rant and speculative ad ninist'ation. But, finding that the) are aboard for a cruise a gainst the peace and property of a section that their companions are political pirates, they would gladly make n landing at the first point that presents itself. They have been crimped and kidnapped upon' an-unlawful enterprise, and would rather be put adrift vith a leaky boat and a broken oar than sail under the ghastly skull and cross bones depicted upon the Black Republican -When these honest deluded meri come out of the d4inion and fanatical crew with V wttek thy Lire beei casually Woci&le.d, iuw crew w,u disband, its leaders willlbe given up to justice and the arnbitious men who would have employed the unpoplarity of the administration to overthrow the U nion will slink into obscurity, as special monumeute pfAmcrican mercy,4 ihough guilty of anj inciviwn which would' have set their heads upon the tower gates of any other government in Christendom. .' " ' Again, we say, let the American party close ranks fpr the Union and the law., ; Let them protect the misguided thousands entrapped by Chase and Wilsonrom the nw or pursuit of the disunionists and traw tors. Let them face out to repel the very lght infamy of the administration, which havmg stirred up this sectional excitement by executing its own true soldiers withcut court martial; and bestowing a bounty up on agitators and fanatics. This is the po Jition of the Nst;0nal Americans for the Union , and religious freedom, and against station and disunion.

This diabolical act was perpetrated by a sot of Sag Nicht scound drels, in the procession gotten up to do ho nor to the liquor movement The flag w as, burnt in two places, and tlie intention was were shot against it in the most delibei ate and dastardly manner. An attempt" was also made to fire it by those holdiug torch lights, . , We do not envy the infernal spirit which could prompt to such an act ; and, the party which numbers such iiwits ranks is welcome to them, alihongh it would be much better fir the comm unity wore they ' within the walls of a certain institution at Chailesto-vn. We care nothing for the insulting groans and valgur beast imitating noises whh which the "Boo" establishment was saluted ; but whj?n an attempt is thus made to burn the reveied flag of bur coun try, aud that atte mpt by furieigners and the very dregs of outcasts, it assumes an aspect which cannot be passed over in sileuce The Hero of the Malakoff. A letter from an officer at Sebastopol, in the Paris Constitution el,says:. "It was a corporal of the 1st Zouaves who planted the first Freucb standard ou the Malakoff. His name is Eugene Li baut, of Paris. It was Gen. McMahon's standard of the fiire division the hoisting of which was to be the signal for the at tacks on the other points. The General gave him the standard with his own hands with the word-v'TIiis is the signal flag go!' Libaut was . the first Jo Apriog out of the tranches. While getting into the enemy ditch he was struck by a stone, but, not withstanding the pain, he scaled the para pet in the midat of a hailstorm of nroiec- tiles of every kind, and at length planted the flag, around which out brave soldiers soon flockd,and maintained their ground .
