The Greer and Donaldson correspondenee.

In an age ofhumbug and imposture, the above NAM
ed correspondence and the events connected with it.
fairly take the palm for unbushing efrontery and
downright shameless dishonesty The facts seem to
be follows: These two persons Donaldson of
Texas and Greer of Iowa. falsely representing them
selves as members of the Democratic National Com
mttce from their respective States undertake: Whc-
Their with or without his consent we do not know to
pull the wires to get Gen. Sam Houston nomi-
mated the Democratic candidate for the Pre-
sidency-and in the pursuance of this object they
write letters to many of the prominent Democrats of
the United States, and also to Free Sellers and Abo
litionsts claiming affinity with either of the parties
among the rest Giddings: Hale, Chase, Van Buren,
and others. These letters elected answers from
ny of the gentlemen addressed, among the rest ono
from Judge Strange of this State. Although these
answers not written for publication, there is
not one coming from any gentleman known and re
cognised national Democrat which is at all in
consistent with his publicly expressed views or the
national position of the party If our limits had per
mitted we would as soon have published the whole
series not AS for the unauthorized acts of these
men, Greer and Donaldson, of course the Democrat
ic party cannot be held responsible. Men who vii
start out with false representation, who have Mt
official character whom nobody knows Or sanctions
can only represent themselves, and then cannot b.
believed even that far, being convicted of deliberate
fasehood in the outstart But the best thing ha
just come out. When the New York Herald pub
ished these letters sometime since: nobody knew how
it got hold of them. 1t turns out that the,
were stolen. The Herald publishes letter from
Greer stating that the political letters to him ant
Donaldson, the publication of which has made s
much noise, were stolen from his vase He say
that the letters distracted and package SINH
lar in size and appearance was substituted. II
talks about prosecuting the Herald
, When this thing out we never thought of al
l luding to it as party matter With the finale c
y the stealing of the package, think it about a
, amusing an instance of scoundrelism all round as W
. have met up with for sometime. AS for the Demo
cratic party: any other party, and except tn
parties implicated, being responsible, that is all

The Wing Party Dead and Abolitionlzed.

Once in while Wing editor is brought to
knowledge of the TRUTH and, what is quite as desi-
rable, to a frank and manly confession. Such is
the following from the Chambers Tribune, an Ala
bama paper edited by Johnson Hooper. who is still
remembered in these capes. We commend it to the
wings gem of frankncss, such as they seldom or
never meet with in their party organs in this region:
"The whig party at the South, as a party, is as
dead mackerel. By the Presidential election. it
will be difficult to find individual specimens of that
species of the great family of politicians.
The reason of this extinction is obvious. The
general rule of Wing affinity, North is aboltIonrard
The exceptions are barrel sufficient to establish the
rule. We do not know why this is so but it is as
apparent as the face of the heavens Southern men,
therefore, cannot longer act with the national Wing
! party. We in the South nerer had any immediate
interest in the establishment of the protective sys-
tenn but acting in good faith to Northern allies
the Southern Wing party tied itself to unpopular
issue and fell with it. The return which we have
received for this is general alliance of Northern
