uANorHER CALUMsY REFUTED.
att has been unhushingly said by the Coalitionsts-
said boldly without the slightest particle of proothat
Major Donnelson had thrown up his office at Washing
ton, in disgust has been asserted, that he ana his
interesting lady had been required TO associate wth
Mrs Eaton--and that as he had positively declined
compliance with the Presidents WILL the public reia-
tions between the President and hmseit had ceaseo
and, that bound he to Gen. Jackson by all the
ties of gratitude and affinity, no had resolved to retire
to Tennessee This caumny has been Propagated with
great avdty another strong proof OF the
snfatns,is., and folly--and oven men of worth apd
character have not hesated to the cant phrase,
shat Mai. Donnelson had rated it, Now, mark,
how plain tale put them down! In the first place
Maj and Mrs. Donnelsou have never been required to
with the lady in questionand in the second
place. what up the whole story by the roots this
that Maj. Donnelson returns with his lady and Miss
Easton in the course of few months to washington.
Thus ue co."
1t may be as the learned Nous Yerrons says-Major
Donneson may propose to return in few months, and
even bring sNfss Easton" with him--all this may be
co. and vet may be- and is false that the Coalition
lists propagated the intelligence of Donneisons retro
Grade nwithout the slightest particle OF proof We
rite Sans Peur judges too harshy and too rashiy' he
rather too much in undertaking TO pronounce
cathedra what he neither does, nor can Know low
should that learned person know la evidence Is In our
possession? Can he into our pigeon hoies as wei
into frturity? Prophet, all allow MN TO De- a
very wizard in guessing the future but TINS docs not
entitle him to know the contents OF our letters In
propag eating the statement of Donnelsons rcoy'
we HAD eyidence-evidence which satlsfed us Oh tne
truth of the fact-evdence which we re1erreu 10 Ut

him of the Enquirer, in denying that there was the
slightest particle of proof" of gross unrnth not ae-
signed charitable enough to beileve put wnlch
not the less proves him capable of making assertions
when he neither does can know, whether they are
true false. It is possible that this EVIDENCE may
have been spurious-another EAST Room" letter al
air-but we still confde in 1t, and do not believe III al
Mai. Donnelson ,0H return. Time will decide thai
matter
Mai and Mrs. Doneson have never been required to
associate with the lady in question? Or s he at his
splitting again. Paltering with the pubic
ding and equivocating with verbs2 Will ne deny that
Mrs D. was earnestly solicited to associate IN the
quarter alluded to? That she positively declined doing
49, until appealed to upon her gratitude and affection!
Is not this true and if true, the Prophet ignorant
of it? Has he selected the verb required which Inv
plies command with studied caution that while ne may
not affirm untruth IN toords ne may aouse !ie pup
lie understanding, and persuade the public MIND that
Gen. jackson has neither "required nor ASKED nor
invited nor solicited the association IN question! ne
