We commend to the readers attention an ar
the Milledgeville Federal Union, the principal
organ of the Democratic Secessionists of GeoT
gia. 1t has stood over day or two longer than
we intended, but is still fresh enough for all the
purposes Of instruction. Speaking on behalf of
Georgia Democracy the Federal Union summa-
rily exposes theridiculous halucination in which
the Union has delighted to revel for some time
past, with regard to the feelings of considerable
portion of the Southern Democratic party toward
the Compromise, and especially with regard to
the nature Of the triumph achieved at the re-
cent Georgia election The MlIedgeville jour
nal afirms emphatically that the supporters
of MCDONALD, the Secessionst candidate,
were all but entirely derived from the Demo
cratic ranks. 1t declares further, in effect, that
Mr.. CoBB's patriotic love of the Union has led
him into "the mazes of Whiggery," and that
the professed Democrats who have followed
him can never be again received into the ortho-
dox Democracy of the State and, lastly, it
hints that Mr.. CoBD will still further display
his devotion to the Union by supporting Mr..
FILLMORE for the Presidency The last state

SIR: The President has learned from the news
papers, with the deepest regret that disgraceful
outrage has recently been committed by lawless
mob, who have by force rescued fugitive from
labor from the custody of the marshal, thereby
sistng the execution of legal process and setting
the law at defiance. He hopes that the statements
respecting the occurrence are exaggerated, espc-
cially it took place at your residence, and no
communication upon the subject has been re-
oeived from you. But whatever may have been
the extent of the outrage, he expects that efforts
will be spared, on your part and that of the mar
shal TO bring the guilty offenders to justice. The
supremacy Of the laws must be maintained, at
every hazard and at any sacrifice. Men whose
sworn duty it is to execute them, must be pro
tected and sustained in the discharge Of that
duty
! cannot doubt that the great majority of your
citizens are loyal TO the Constitution, and that
they will aid the proper officers in bringing to
justice those who have wantony and wickcdly
violated the most sacred duty Of citizen in a free
Republic, by setting an example which, if fol-
lowed, must endanger the life of every officer
charged with the execution of the lave.

Nathaniel Greer,

We observe in the New York Herald of the
sth inst, long letter purporting to be from the
above named gentleman, which we have no hes
itation in pronouncing knowing, wilful and
malicious forgery. We make the assertion, and
challenge contradiction from any quarter, that
no such individual as Nathaniel Greer of prom
inent political notorety in Iowa, exists either
in Iowa, Baltimore or elsewhere That he does
not exist at this time, and that he never did ex-
ist That such an individual is wholly unknown
to the Democracy of Iowa, even one of its
most unpretending members, TO say nothing OF
his assumed elevation and Importance. Had
this letter made its appearance elsewhere than
in the columns of the New York Herald we
might, perhaps, have been disposed to give Gre
dcncc TO the bare existence of some such polit
ical dwarf, whose soaring imagery had resulted
in the transmutation of his humble parsonage
into the grand radiant of the Iowa Democracy
bat its appearance in that sheet under all the
circumstances, stamps it with that falsity ane
malignance, which are the eminent characters
tics of its noted proprietor. That such a char
acter as the rePutcd Greer, could have the ssloca
| habitation and the namc,' which is claimed 70
| him. and yet be unknown to the whole peopl,
of this State, is too ridiculous for moment
serious consideration. The whole Donaldson
correspondence will be found to be one of thos
| fabrications which are but too frequently resor
ted to, to attract attention, the part of those
whose utter destitution of moral worth has rem
dered them objects of pity and contempt, ant
the dvulgencc of whose real names would oblit
