General Walker's Letter to the President: ‘Wasnmeton, Jan. 4, 1858. ‘Fm—On the 15th of June last I bad the hovor to address pou. letter relating the manner in which I emigrated cm te Nicaragua, the events which followed ‘My presence in Central America, and the unjust and ille- ge acts by which I was forced for a time to abandon my adopted country. In that letter I stated facts which I defy ‘Wy enemies to controvert; and I then hoped your Exee!- Jency would take steps for tre punishment of the grievows offences age ’nst right, justice and yubtic law committed oy Uoited States cificers in the seizure of a Nicaragua Ye.sel ‘wea Niceraguae port. Commander Davis has, howr ver, gone wnrebuked, so far ns I am informed, for his gross ‘Violation of tmternatiowal law and of the constitution: of the ‘Onited States. And it grieves me to say that Tem again ebliged to approach you with a.complaint agains’, another ‘and yet higher dificer of the United States navy. %™ ‘approaching you ase euppliant for justice, 1 know ‘at it is necessary for me vw remove crrone jus impres- ‘tons which have been made !n your mind ce ncerning my eéniuct in comection with Nicaraguan affairs. Corrupt ‘wae mahgnam persona bave surrounded your Excellency, aad poured into your ears false stories cO acerning events: m Central America. Amd now to you, the President of ‘Ge United States, 1 directly charge, avd stand ready to 'e what | say” that your officers Of ‘he navy, pot only ie sible statetnents through the press, but also - ‘communications, have misstated facts and fal- sides events.

Permut me then, if -before I proceed te call tiention we the cotuct of Commodore. Pat deny most umequivocalty that I have ever been. at any ee ae with any <n ekpedi- paragua. In your message to Congress: ‘seem to impyy that my first Gepartare from San | Seaton ‘was illegal; fer you say, ‘* when it was first rendered pro- “Davie that an attempt would be made to get up aadther “unlawful ewpedition againgt Nicaragua.”” With all defe- rence I beg leave to assert what I sa‘d in a previeusietter, aad to agam inform you ttt | left San Francisco 2 May, “Y8ES, withthe sanction and approval of the federal offi- port, and that the captain of the revemue cutter geet bie seliors to bend the sails which carried as from @atifornia to Central America. Allow me also to suggest ‘Ghat the government of the United States recognized and the immediate results of the emigration from forn:a in the reception of Padre Vigil as Minister from “We remdlicef Nicaragua. Not exly was the frst expedition, as it has been called, @ Nionragua entirely lawful in its origin, butall its con. Wequemces were marked by strict adherence w law and Peetice. Some have told you, 1 know, that T am a man without faith and without mercy,” but fromthe begin. ning to the end of my career in Nicaragua I challenge the ‘world to produce a sing ¢ violation of public fuith, a sin- gle deviation from the great principles of public right aod Pudtic justice. On the contrary, the Americans in Nica Fagea have always maintained the faith ead bonor of thew race, in the midst of falsehood and treachery on the part of their enemies, in the face of countless hosts prayed against them no less than in the presence of Mmine and of pestilence. Our conduct im ‘the midst of friels and of dangers is sufficient answer to the epithets which bave been hurled against us, and when the pas ieas and the prejudices of the present have died away, ‘we calmly await the judgment of posterity on our eonduct. But an officer of the Wnited States Navy force t us to be- eome exiles from Nicaragua; and let me remind you of ‘he fact that from the moment we touched our natal soil “swe protested against the illegality and injustice of the act, jad declared our intention to return to the tand whence we bad been wrongfully brought. Everywhere, before “xe functionaries of the government, in the presence of fasembled multitudes of the sovereign people, we de- @lared that no effort should be unused in order to regain ‘the rights wrested from us by fraud and illegality. Do nodes teed that if we had been conscious of viola- or intended violation of law we woutd thus have pro: @laimed our objects and intentions’ Is it the babit of offenders against public right, or of copspirators against erald their acts on the corners of the nation by calling on the people to disregard their own enacted statutes? No, Mr. President; jet all your dytrict attorneys exhaust their energy and their inge- many; let them attempt to wrest the law to purposes for which it never was intended, they cannot make good the eharges whicb have been made arainst ns. Once the Dis trict Attorney of the United States attempted to convict me of breach of the neutrality laws; bata jury of the country rendered a verdict of “not guilty” almost without leaving the box. Again a like effort would be crowned ‘WAD 2 like result. After long effort and much patient endurance we at sailed from Mobile for San Juan de Niearages fe 14th day of November last. The vessel on whic © wailed was regularly cleared by the collector of the port end a special inspector was sent aboard to ckamine the ‘apd the passengers. Our rigtté, too, at Niears : guans were acknowledged, for the coblector refused tw ‘lear the Fashion, with Capt. Fayssoux commanding, op d that he was not a citizen of the United States. i regular register and clearange we euppored when once on the a seas that we were beyond possible | interference of any United States autherty; for, even if we were admitted belligerenty against a Power with which the United States was at peace, the owners of the neutral ‘weene! had a clear right to carry warlike persons as well eecontraband of war, subject only to che risk of capture the enemy's crutsors. We did not for a moment ima that naval! officers would undertake w place restraints @m American commerce in the absence of Federal law and Mongressional authority. The deferemce, too, we know | Excellency has for the coostitution of the United }, precluded the supposition that any orders had been fasued to detain or capture an American vessel, whose papers showed she was engaged in a iawtul voyage Satisfied as we were of the entire legality of our voyage, we did not hesitate to eter the port of Ban Juan de Nica agua, although we knew thata United States sloop-of war ‘was present in the harbor. But we had scarcety landed Defore we were subjected to # series of illegal and insult fog acts by the commander of the Saratoga. These acts have been detailed in two letters addressed by me toCom- | -modore Paulding, and now on file, I presume, in the Navy spent. we were being embarrassed by ihe action of the pra we had not been idle. Col. Anderson—who had his Dative country throughout the Mexican war— @t the head of fifty men, had ascended the river and possession of the stronghold which in the last cen had for days defied the genius of the proudest naval ‘meee in British annale. Not only this, but he had re possestion of valuable American property unlaw ly held. by Costa Rican soldiers, and | bad given the or Ger to restore it t the agent claiming it for the owners, Permit me to nxk whether it it ruch aete ax these which J officers to apply 40 us the vilest epi ahets of the language? Scarcely, however, had the possession of Castille Viejo pened tw us the way to Lake Nicaragua, and two the re Gaining of aii we bad lost by Capt.

On the Sth of Trcember the latter cer summoned me to surrender to him, and the Nicara- flag was a second ime bauled down on, Nicaraguan by the orders of the United States Navy. Tt would be eupererogatory, sir, for J say that the feet of Captain Paulding was without warrant of law , too, as we felt the wrong, it was not the act iteclf ‘ag much as the manner in which mt was dono that cut us fe the quick.

In accordance with the previous announcement, the new Demo. ratic Geweral Committee held their first meeting last evening at Tammany Hall. The proprietors of the building refased to permit the meeting to be held in the usual plwce of assembling, and the Committee were obliged, therefore, to meet in the saloon, or, as it is more familiarly called, the Coal Hole. There were about seventy persons altogether present. The meeting was organived by the appointment of Captain Daniel Witter as President, and Messrs. McCunn and Woodruff as secre- taries. Mr. Roger Dolan officiated as sergoant-at-arms. Afver ‘the roll was called, a committee, consisting of the following gentlemen, was appointed to decide upon con- tested seate:—G. H. Striker, Twenty-second ward; ‘£. ‘Woodruff, First ward; W. Wilson, First ward; T. Veitch» ‘Twelfth ward, and T. W. McMahon, Fifteenth ward. The Nineteenth, Fourteenth, Twentieth and Seventh ‘wards were contested, and their case will be reported upon at the next meeting of the Committee, which is to be held on Friday night at half past seven o'clock. ‘The following reeolutions were presented by Mr. T. W. ‘McMahon, by whom they were drawn up:— ‘Resolved, That we congratulate the democracy of the ef New York upon having ut Seeeive. in this com- mittee, which is designed to represent'the bona .fi@e wishes oh wane te Sennen eae which ‘has emanated directly fragn concerted will and action of tae pane alice is responsible to ‘them for every polit movement which it makes; which is free from, and exclusive of, the power or control of cliqueism; and which (since it is the result of a fair, open and general county election, called and conducted upon’ the most popu- Jar basis), is in entire harmony with the spirit and theory of our party and of our republican institutions. Resolved, That thie committee declares'here upon the threshold, that its chief aim and.ambitian is ‘to represent and carry out, broadly and faithfully, in theinnaked sim- plicity, the time-honored usages and principles of our venerable party ’s creed; that it dhall glory m placing it- self im direct communion asd sympathy with the le—in educating itself relative to their po. tical wants, and in unequivocally catrying out what shall seem to it to be the unmistakable desire ot the great masses of the democracy of this metropolis; that it shall not lend iteelf to*the injury or distraction of of the glorious national organization trom which it ema- nates by unduly furthering the views or political interests of any epecial individual or clique -who has not the contl- dence of the rank and file of our fellow citizens, but that it shall honestly and earnestly devote its labors and en- deavore to the cementing and consolidation of the demo- cracy, #0 a8 to reg in for it that prestige of numbers and victory which it boasted previeusty to tha! treason which resulted in our disastrous defeat in tbe late charver elec- tion. Resolved, That we enderse the national and equitable policy of President Buchanan’s administration, and that the governmental views and principles-which ‘he has so far promu); or put in practice should win the sponta neous approbation of all candid, unprejudiced, fair minded and patriotic citizens, Resolved, That while we believe that national ad- ‘ministration should have a fair and impar! trial for ite ucts and principles before ‘the tribunal of American opinion, and so long as it adberes to the broad and strictly national ethics of our political creed the undoubted and unequivocal support of all -and every democrat, it is nevertheless painfully true that it is upon the one side Tancorousty and unfairly opposed by its open and pro- fessed political antagonists, and upon the other clandes- tinely and sedulously by professed “democrats,” many of whom are, at present, unfortunately for the democracy, federal officers, while others are actuated by the unprin cipied ambition of raising themselves to places of henor, power and emolument upon the ruin of our organization, and at the sacrifice of political usages and political allegiance; tbat, in view of these facts, and in order to guard against the demoralization, if not the hope- less disruption of the democratic party, as well as for the purrose of rendering himeelf feared and respected, the ‘esident of the United States, in the opinion of this com- mittee, sbould pursue @ direct, positive and immediate lie of policy, ur removing from office those who hold power and patronage under him, and who are either acta- ally known, or justly suspected, of being rebels to party discipline and enemies to the will of the masses, rather than be actuated by the equivocal theory of the {ate na.‘ tonal administration, who rendered political rebellion a species of poutical orthodoxy. Resolved, That in pursuance of the foregoing resolution, this General Committee—the only’ representative of the democracy of the city and county of New York, and hav- | ime for ie constituency 41,000 loyal demoeratic voters— rewpectfully, but at the same time earnestly and with Heortict politica) solicitude, requests President Buchanan “%, Hetees from the offices, which they pow fill, the Post- marter, the Surveyor, the Navy Agent, the Marshal, the Superintendent of the Assay Office, of this city; not, in- Geed, because of iy gg dislike or persoval preju- dices which this 'Y may entertain against any or either of these ficials, but because we believe all and each of them (so long as | they are recognized as goveroment officers, and only | so long), dangerous and injurious to the safety and well- | being of our party; because most of their underlings, | deputies, clerks afd assistants, presented the novel «pec | tacle of being allied in a common cause, at the recent | charter election, with black «srepublicaps,’’ Know Nothings, wpd ail the other special odds and ends of general fana ticlem, in working, voting and spending federal gold against the regular nominee fer Mayor of the democratic party; beeause the example of their coptinuance in office | Hust necessarily be disheartening and demoralizing wo the forty-one thousand good and true democrats in this great | and enlightened emporium, who are faithful and loyal to | the Union, the constitution aad the usages of our organiza- tion: and because thore officials have no influence here with the democratic party, other than that which they derive | from patronage, which patronage they wield to the injury and betrayal of the democracy, and to the secret unde mining and injury of the national administration ; therefor | their removal m official power would be well calcu. lated to give strength and barmony to the party which we | represent—would reduce all recusants in our midst to party usages and party di ine—-would give to the rank and Ble of our democratic feliew citizens a unity and pur- { pose strange to them siuce 1648-—and would build up to the President a political power in this city and State not equalled or ay hed since the days of Gen. Jackson. Resolved, while this coramitiee cannot lend ttself | to the bestowal of any special.commendations upon either private individuals or ne re, yet the public course of the New York Hirkaup hes been such, in impartiug its Invaluable and unqualified ~—— to the national adim\n- istration and to the national democracy, that we feel it our duty on this occasion, and at our inaugural meeting, aa the representative of our democratic fellow citizens in thie metropolis, to tender to that reapectable, widely cir culated and influential journal our unanimous and spopta- neour thanks for the services which it has rendered in the cause of patriotism and nationality, au’ to express a hope that it may in the futare find it consonant with its public duty, with iis integrity and with its judgment to pursue a similar line of laudable and upright policy. Mr. W Witsow moved the adeptian of the resolutions. Mr. Onn opposed their adoption en the ground that it was not proper and fair to ostreciee mon in that style. Avy man, raid he, who gets up a mectiog for the par. pore of recommending the diswaissal from office of men who are democrats, is no democrat himself. Are we, he continued, a lot of office beggars? Do we want to turn men out of office that we may get in? I move that all after the fourth resolution be striekan out. A’ Vous—I think the resolutions are out of order till this committee is properly and permanently organized Amorian Vorcs—I move that they be upon the table. Mexr Vorcrs—They are not fair nor democratic At this tage of the procesdings the President put them to the vote in the usual style, and then decided timt they were adopted, @ majority appearing to be in favor of them. Mr. Oxn—I move that the roll be called orey— It is too late—they 're passed. Ormms Vorexs—Let us have no gag law here Axcrame—I move we have a meeting.

United States Cireult Court, Before Hon, Judge Ingersoll. ‘THR DISPUTED CLAIM OF GRAHAM AGAINST THE €ONSUL OF HANOVER. JAN. 6.—John Graham we. Edward Stucken, Meyer and Others. —This case, which involves a claim to the steamers Ocean Bird, United States and St. Lawrence, now running detween the ports of Cuba and Cadiz,‘and the value of which is estimated at $400,000, was commenced many months ago in the Superior Court. The complain. ant alleged that the vessels were pledged as collateral se- curity for the payment of « usurious interest amounting 0,000 to $26,000, on lent to him by the defendants for four months; and that bills of sale were adopted to cover the usurious loan. The defendants denied that = Joan had been made by them, but asserted that they pur- chased the vessels for $105,000, without any conditions or qualifications. The defendant Stucken, who is Consul Gen- eral to the United States for the Kingdom of pee, having pleaded his official status, the case was dismiss % the Court for want of jurisdiction. The plaintiff next filed his bill in the Circuit Court of the United States, and upon an application some time ago for a writ of ne exeat againet Stucken, who, it was alleged, was about to leave the country, the question was raised whether cases affoct- ing consuls could be tried before any other tribunal than the United States Supreme Court. Judge Nelson held that the jurisdiction of the case was not exclusively in the Sa- preme Court, but was conferred upon the inferior tribu- nals of the federal judiciary, of which the Circuit Court was one. Since that time the partios have been busy in preparing evidence before a United States jsoner, preparatory to a speedy trial of the case. Application was made la‘e yesterday evening to Judge Ingersoll for an order for arrest of the defendant Meyer, which was granted, and bail fixed svape sum of $300, MABITIMNE INTELLIGENCE, Movements of Ocean Steamers, ROM EUROPE.
