Major A. j. DOnelsOn.

As soon "a this gentleman connected himself
with the American party, the opposition began to
abuse him in unmeasured terms Noticing this
fact, and after defending the right Of private judy
ment, the New Orleans Delta adds
We have INDUCED in these remarks because we
have felt an unspeakable disgust at the style and
manner adopted by the Washington Union and
other party journals which follow in its lead to-
ward Major Donelson of Tennessee, who has chosen
of late to desert the flag of Pierce and Marcy, and
go over to their opponents. Major Donelson's
opinions we neither share nor defend, but we would
be unworthy of American citizenship If we denied
his right to hold them and express them by his pen
or his tongue. The tolerance which we claim from
Others we extend to him and all the world The
day is dead, thank Heaven, when Galileo could be
tortured because he believed the earth moved
round the sun.
The Union and its co-laborers, however, seek to
revive it. The antecedents of Ma or Donclson are
raked up by its writer's his character is assailed
his motives questioned, and even the esteem Of hs
adopted father denied. The grave of Andrew
Jackson is disturbed to find arguments against n
man whom he loved with the love of his bold aud
passionate nature. The small scrbes of these
Journals appear to know more ofOld Hickory's real
sentiments than Old Hickory himself; and, in de-
fiance of his openlyexpressed opinions of his well
baloved relative, we are told that Andrew Jackson
never cherished til" slightest attachment for per-
son of Major Donelson's character; and all this is
predicatcd the fact that the latter has fit
to change his opinions and transfer his allegiance.
These assumptions in his regard are not only
gratuitous but thoroughly despicable, inasmuch
as the affection Of Jackson for Major Donelson is
and always was matter of notorety. The fact
cannot be disproved. 1t is as well known as the
aite of the Hermihge No more can the personal
character of Major Donelson be impugned. He
has been too long regarded as a man Of honor aud
truth to be, like poor John Keats, the poet,
"snufied ont by an article" He will survive the
assaults upon bis reputation, which ia more than
we anticipate in the case of the assailants. His
case, however is but single instance of the null
ttudinous evils which result from the present sys-
TEN of conducting party politics. 1t is one proof
ont of million that we are living in of con-
temptible politicians with very few great men to
take the helm Of State.

Actions speak louder than words
The following little scrap of history is
worth volume as showing how the va
rious parties of the country really stand
affected toward Know .Nothingism.
When the Kansas bill was under con-
fsideratlon in Congress, III the Senate.
Clayton moved to amend by striking out
! IN the provision conferring the right of
suffrage and holding office, these words !.
And those who shall have declared
their attention to be become such. : d
shall have taken an oath to support the
constitution OF tie United States, and
the provisions of this act,
So that it shall read
''PrODided, That the right of suffrage
and of holding Office shall be exercised
only by Citizens Of the United States "
Here was a distinct Know Nothing
proposition offered by Know Nothing
and let us look at the vote Oh it. In FA-
NOR of it was the vote of EVERY
Southern DEMOCRATIC Senator. with
a number of Northern ones AGAINST
1t was EV VERY REPUBLICAN Sena-
tor, as also every one suspected of Re
publican tendencies as follows: Chase.
Fesscnden, Foot, Fish, Hamlin, Seward,
Smith, Sumner, Wade
Now how does it happen, if as our op-
Donents contend, there is an affinity be-
tween the Know Nothings and Republi-
cans, that every REPUBLICAN in the
Senate voted AGAINST this clearly X.
n. proposition; and how does it happen,
on the other hand, that this immaculate
Democracy absolutely passed the PROPOSE
tion through the Senate2 Repubicanism
proved t. be sufficient to save every one
of those who profcssed it in the Senate
from any connection with the Know Moth
ingism, but this modern Democracy does
not appear to have been quite competent
to the task of saving its followers and de-
yotees.
And in connectian with this fact is a
thought worthy the consideration of our
naturalized citizens The Slam Democ-
racy which Is now seeking their votes is
the very Democracy ruled and governed
by these Southern Senators. every one of
whom voted for this Know Nothing prop
ositiou while on the other hand, the sue.
cess of the Republican party is the sue
cess Of the men and party who voted
against this proposition -henosha Tie

Such is my opinion" said the surgeon,

Pincton, ''and in the meanwhile allow ire

The surgeon shrugged his shoulders,
