ETTER FROM MAJOR ANDREW
DONEI.SON.

The following letters from Major Andrew
n,,olson. winch we find in the Nashville
Iyh;g cxplain themselves. The very intimate
and almost lifelong relation sustained by
u.ior Donelson towards President Jackson,
,s hi. bosom friend, and private secretary, the
high Diplomatic trusts coniided to him by
psosidcnt Polk, and the decided stand he
- i, b.half of the compromise measures
Of 1850, first rs private citizen and subse-
oueptIy us Editor of the Washington Union,
should, We think, satisfactorily vouch for the
orthodoxy o: his conservative Old School
democratic faith. 1t appears that "New
School" of democracy has sprung up in Ten
nessee, Of which Gov Johnson is the peculiar
champion and chosen leader, to whose wild
yaparies and dictatorial behests Major Donel-
son does not yield his sanction.
But here are his letters IA published in the
Wing of yesterday;
TO the Editor Of The Republican Banner &;
Sin AS several of my acqualntances In
NhlIOuS DbIllbll0 VI INV t'huAi 'ANO N'ibtSH
to me, expressing Il wish TO know my views
respecting the recent nomination of Governor
Johnson BY the new school Of democrats u.s.
sembled ut Nashville II few weeks ago, | do
not see that can answer them more briefly
than by asking the publication in your col.
umns of the following note to Mr.. Eastman,
of the Union and American. This gent 'eman
was known as a fire eaier during the discus
sions on the Compromise of 1850, and be-
came at once the favOrite of the new school
Of democrats, after it was ascertainrd that he
had been selected by Mr.. Cheves, The famous
disunon orator of South Carolina, to print
and circulate copies Of his speech in the
Nashville Southern Convention. In that
speech Mr.. Chevcs boldly advocated the for.
nation of Southern COnfederacy and ridi.
culed the Constitution of the United States
as dead carcass. Mr.. Chevcs is still great
name in the estimation of the fire eating or
flhbnstering class of politicians who are scat
tered in ambush throughout the country,
waiting to see what advantage can be secured
TO the project OF srizing Cuba aud establish
ing Southern Contrderacy, from the treach.
cry and imbecIity Of Mr.. Pierce and his
Cabinet. Yours respectfully,
A. J. DONELSON.
