MORE DONALDSON Commemorative
MYsrxRY-MoRE LIoHr-MoRx FuN.-Did you
ever see the Dancing Academy Of the beau
tiful, piquant and classic Madame Augusta,
in full motion, At the Stuyvesant Instituted Did
you ever see the elegant dancers leading out the
beautiful young daughters of the Fifth Avenue,
through all the intricaciss Of the quadrlle the gy
ratons of the polka, the ecstatic short Of
the mazourka, and the mysteries of the Sohottische,
as these varied accom- plishments of "the poetry Of
motion" can be seen at Madame AS academy the
present season! II is . charming spectacle.
1t Is delightful to see those beautiful young crea-
lures, and the exquisite grace, beauty and finish
with which, under their superior instruction, they
pass through all the may evolutions of their fairy
exercises. II you have not seen them, and can not
see them and cannot send neither sons or
to see them, then your only remedy is to read and
study the mysteries Of the Donaldson corespon-
dence. There is no other equivalent in the way of
quiet, classical, and graceful entertainment. for q
leisure kour The Donaldson letters combine all the
varieties of the polka, the wonders of the mazourka,
the elegance of the pigeon wig, the piquancies of
the Highland fling, the Virginia break down, and
the Carolina double shuttle, in all their mo iifca-
tions and complications. And the distinguished
characters engaged, from Joshua r. Giddings, the
leader of the abolitionists of Ohio, to Gen. Com
mander, the principal fre-eater, the Monsieur
Chaubert, of South Carolina, give particular zest
to the entertainment.
We expect soon to get at the bottom of the whole
mystery. 1t is evidently worth clearing up. The
anecdote which we published the other day, sho VS.
that Judge Douglas is probably in the secret; and
we expect shortly to be on the track of the indi.
vidual who stole those letters from the carpetbag
of Nathaniel Greer.
In obedience to " "manifest destiny" we publish,
to day, three letters the subject Of this Do
madison movement-one from General Sam Hous-
ton, one from Nathaniel Greer, and one from ex-
Senator Westcott, of Florida In addition to these
very interesting documents, wo publish most i'm
poItant and curious certificate from Mr.. Merrfeld,
of ll3 Beekyn street, who sells first rate stoves
His certificate puts clincher to the horrible and
dabolcsl accusations against Mr.. Westcott, and
CON pletely confirms the impressions Of MIR. Greer,
that the ex-senator has been wrongfully Suspected
Of connecting this coalition free soil movement for
the Presidency, for tie purpose of breaking down
Gen. Houston.
The dignifed letter Of the distinguished Senator
from Texas, we copy from the Washington Uiion,

the next Of kin of c. H. Donaldson, "the great un-
known" Possibly the Major may know so nethhg
more on this subject than he has thought fit to dis
close. The letter Of Mr.. Weseott i, highly in
structive, philosophical, and satisfactory. So is
the certificate of Mr. Merrifeld. But the indignant
letter CT MIR Greer caps the climax, and presents a
catalogue Of grievances to which there is scarcely
parallel among unrewarded politicians. He ap-
pears to have been turning the grndstone for other

statement is worth studying by all those coniding

The experience Of Mr. Greer proves that patriotism
without profit does not pay expenses.
We expect further revelations on this subject.
The Published correspondence has excited great
deal of futtering and trouble among our de-
mocratic cotemporaries, and indignation enough
in various quarters to set up a second late
French revolution. But We never shrink from a
good cause We want the whole truth upon this
mysterious free soil movement Of Nr. Donaldson
