THE WASHINGTON UNIoN.-We find in the
Union of Wednesday the subjoined from Mr..
Donelson, the senior editor and proprietor OF
that journal:
To The Public,-"Perceiving that there are
obstacles to the harmony of the democratic
party, growing in some degree out of alleged
differences Of opinion respecting the political
views which have been maintained by the
Washington Union under the editorship of
the undersigned, he feels it his duty to do
what he can, consistently and properly, to
remove them. He has, therefore, determined
to transfer his entire interest in the establish
ment to his partner General Armstrong, and
to retire from the editorial chair to his private
pursuits in Tennessee.
'ln taking leave of the subscribers to the
Washington Union, the undersigned only
uses the occasion to assure them that he has
endeavored faithfully to maintain the old and
settled principles of the democratic party,
which he trusts are destined to survive the
occasional Interruptions Of their just influence,
arising from the differences among individuals
or from the more dangerous conflicts of
sectional prejudice" A. J. DONELSON.

THE THING THAT'S MADE SUPERIOR TIC
THE MAKER.-A learned lecturer once
proved this proposition by the following
conclusive demonstration:
DE ting dat is made is more superior
as de maker. shall show you how in
some tiugs. Suppose make de round
wheel Of de coach! Yer well; dat wheel
roll round five hundred mile-and ear
not roll one myself Supposed am COOP
err, vot you call, and ! make de big tut
to hold wine! He holds tons and gallons
and cannot hold more as fUe bottle
So you see dat what is made is more su
perior as de maker"

tB Bayard Taylor, the. traveller, is a
patriotic fellow. His country will never
suffer in the eyes of Eastern travellers, If
they will only listen to his stories Of A.
merican greatness. A, Beyroot, he met
with a Shelk, from the interior of Africa,
who thought to surprise him with des.
criptions of African power. BY telling him
that the king of Ashantee had ID houses
full of gold; and that the Sultan oil Rus.
sia had 1000 horses always saddledsbe-
fore his palace. Taylor told him that
our country was two years journey in
extent--tha, the treasury consisted of A.
600 houses filled to the roof with gold,
and that 200, 900 soldiers, on horseback.
kept continually guard around Sultan
Filimore's palace! That will do--he can
pass.

Facts, Fun and Fancy.
The Ugly Family.

liz one of the lower districts of the
Palmetto State, there once lived fami
ly of six or seven persons, who were
known far and wide as the ''Ugly Fami-
ly." One of them, Jack, was so I'm,
speakably hard favored, that il made one
feel as ifshe had biilensa green persim
mon TO look at him, and whenever he
walked through the streets, the dogs
dropped their tails and sneaked off, too
scared TO bark.
The fame of this family spread ,hro'
the country, and at last reached the ears
of Georgian, who, for long time, had
held undisputed possession of the cele-
brated penknife. This individual al
length determined TO pay visit TO the
ugly family, and endeavor 10 dispose of
the aforesaid knife; so one morning he
crossed the Savannah. About noon. he
saw wagon ahead, and he rode up to
inquire the whereabouts of the family.
"Hello, stranger" said he to man
walking by the side Of the wagon.
"Hello, yourself" exclaimed the wag-
oner, turning around and disclosing
countenance so tremendously ugly that
the Georgian almost dropped from his
horse.
81 say" said the Georgian, recover
ing little from his establishment, "are
you not Ugly Jack, himself 7"
The WAGNER shook his head, and
"grinned ghaslly smile" that made
him lock like the nightmare personr-
fed.
"I'll BET you ten dollars that your are
the Lglest man in the State said the
Georgian.
"Done!" said The WAGNER, "come
here" And going to to the back of the
wagon, he called out, awake up, Jack,
and put your head out here
me Ueorgian, burning win curiosity
leaned forward, as the cover was raiseds
slowly up. Suddenly his eyes fell up
on a physiognomy SO awfully, bound
lessly, overpoweringly ugly that it SEEM
ed TO be formed out of the. double extract
OF delirium tremens.
The horse snorted and starting back
in fright threw his rider over his head,
but the latter had scarcely touched the
ground, before he was mounted again.
Throwing down the ten dollars and his
penknife, without saying word, he
'struck bee line for Savannah" look
ing alternately over each shoulder, as
long as the wagon remained in sight.
