Something is out of joint in the Democratic

Donelson is out in letter against Andrew
johnson, the present Governor and candidate
for reelection in opposition to Gentry, Know
Nothing and late Wing Maj. Donelson evil

Jobnson's defeat, or else he could not rise up
in arms against the regular Democratic candi-
date at such juncture. johnson is fighting
his battle d Ia Wise and Eeeds all Of his party
to elec. him, for Tennessee has of late years
very generally chosen Wing Governors. Donel-
son's letter looks very like stab from behind,
but we do not know how much weight attaches
TO his position or missives. If Gentry should
be chosen, no doubt it will be hailed as Know
Nothing triumph; yet his election, so far as we
can see, may arise from causes totally discon-
sected from the popularity of the secret Order
b that State. Indeed a very slight schism in
the Democratic ranks would elect Gentry with
out reference to his new associations.

Gov GARDNER of Massachusetts,, it would ap-
pear from letter we publish to-day from Bos-
ton, has been guilty of sins against the Slave
Olirsrchy during his official career that must
prove fatal to all his hopes of making head in
that quarter. Reflections which will follow this
exposure, in connection with the recent bad show
in Virginia, will probably cause the Governor to
take the back track at the Philadelphia Know
Nothing Convention to be held nextweek. we beg
ofthe Oligarchy in the South to studiousy hunt up
the record ofeyery manin the North OF any proml-
hence, especially that of an official character
which is all that the most of our Doughiaces can
boast, who volunteer TO play the servitor orjack-

they will find that nineteen-twenteths of them
have been professors in the Anti-Slavery Church
in good standing at some time or other in their
active career. There is not rascal of them

The Journal, Of Montgomery, Ala, cries aloud
that the Know-Nothings must have respectable
candidate for the Presidency. Such timber as
Sam Houston and George Law will never do.
Some statesman like Fillmore, Everett or Ber-
rien must be put up" something that those
"persens who have had the misfortune to be
born with decent instincts might sustain"
This good suggestion and we gladly lend to its
support the great weight OF our influence with
the leaders of the Order But in 40 doing we
desire to make only one condition 1--WE regret in
any way to interfere with Mr. Fillmore's
aspirations) namely, that the " statesman
selected should be from the South To fix
upon any northern man as the candidate for
President would perhaps injure the claims OF
the gentleman whom circumstances and the
sears of many a well-fought field indicate as
the only appropriate nominee for the Vice.
Presidency. We refer of course to the recent
candidate of the American party for Governor
Of New-York. And in so doing we take occa-
sion solemnly to declare that if he is not
brought forward by the Order for the Vice
Presidency in 1856, it is our Interchangeable de-
termination to oppose the entire Native ticket,
and to do our utmost for It's defeat.
