ten TO the person on whose authority our con-
temporary rests his statement Yet the state
ment may be true We remember TO have
been informed that certain candidate for Pub
lie Printer held out very tair promises to GER
tain americans in Congress.
We remember to have heard that if a certain
candidate for Public Printer should be elected
promises had been made that an American
press, or presses, should receive important aid
from that Public Printer We remember to
have had conversation with some Of our
then copartners and other friends, as to the
policy of securing the continuance Of an Amer
lean press here through such instrumentality.
We remember to have suggested the propriety
Of testing the sincerity of him, who IL sOas said
made those promises. Be the facts as they may,
we openly proclaim that we would have done
anything that was honorable, to secure the per-
manency Of an american press here, without
reference to our own connection with it. We
have as little selfshness in our composition as
most men, and we think we have evinced it in
our political course. We say even more than
euis 1--WE will not insist upon placing d be-
fore epils,) we would have voted for the man
who was elected Public Printer, rather than
vote for his principal competitor, and more
particularly if we had reason to believe that
some portion of the profits of the printing
would be dispensed in aid of the American
cause Nor have we ever censured any mem
Der of the American party who was influenced
by the same views in casting his vote if any
such Uere thus influenced
And now we again earnestly advise our con.
temporary, to deny the truth Of the charges
made by the correspondent of the New York
Times, and to demand a prompt and unquali-
fed retraction of them by their author. They
are too grave, too serious, and will too extern
sively damage the administration Of Frank
Pierce, of New Hampshire, to remain uncon-
tradicted What the idea that the represent
ative Of the (kitchen) cabinet, should, besides
minor enormities, propose to "sell and deliver,
transfer and convey" eight full grown men,
bers of Congress, (and himself thrown in,) for
the paltry sum of ten thousand dollars 1t is
incredible! The sacrifice involved, was mon
strous! Why mine such fellows" will sell in
New Orleans, any day in the week, for SIS, 900,
If their skins are Of the same complexion as
their charactersi Ten thousand dollars, in
deed too low by nearly half! Deny it out
right! An administration that would ratify
such sale, by any of its agents, must be on
the verge of bankruptcy ..

President Polk and Major Doneison.


After Major Donelson had remained in Texas
some months as Minister from the United States,
his health became impaired, and he desired to
return to Tennessee. On his way to his home,
he received the following complimentary letter
from John Y. Mason, then Secretary of State un-
der James X. Polk:
WASHINGTON, August 7, lS45.
MY DEAR SIR: The President has received in
formation on which he relies, which has induced
him to direct me to send the accompanying de-
spatch to you--a copy is sent to General Taylor,
and one to Colonel E. A. Rhodes. the Vice Con
sui at Galveston with directions if you have left
the country, on your return home, to regard the
despatch as addressed to him, and to proceed
without delay to execute its instructions.
If this shall find you in New Orleans, the Pres
ident wishes you to exercise your own discretion
in pursuing your journey home or in returning to
Texas. Your health ought to exercise a control
ing influence in forming your conclusion.
The services which you have rendered your
country in the delicate negotiations intrnsted to
you, are justly appreciated. Your prudence, dis-
cretion, aud ability, have inspired the President
with a confidence which would make him feel
much more at ease, IL that delicate task could be
in your hands.
But your sacrifices and risks have been already
so great, that he leaves your decision entirely in
your hands, and you need apprehend no disap-
probation on his part, if you determine not to re-
turn.
1t gives me great pleasure to assure you that
the publication of your official correspondence
will give you a most enviable reputation for the
highest qualities of statesman and diplomatist.
The President unites in the kindest regards,
with your friend
J. Y. MASON.
Major A. J. DoEELsoN.
It is the custom at present for the Locofoco or
gans to characterize Major Doneison as destitute OF
talent. President Polk did not SO regard him, as
it appears from the above letter; but on the con-
trary ascribed to him prudence, discretion, and
ability" Mr.. Mason our present Minister at the
Court of France, also assured him that his official
correspondence would give him "a most enviable
reputation for the highest qualities of statesman
and dpomatist"
What higher praise could be awarded any pub
lie man than was awarded to Major Donelson by
President Polk and Secretary Masons

President Pierce and Major Donelson.

We republish from. our files the following lette,
from General Pierce to Major Donelson, written in
1851, to show what opinion the President then e1.
pressed of the American candidate for the Vice
Presidency:
CONCORD, May 80, 1881.
Mr. DEAR SIR: rejoice that the leading organ
of our party is now under your control and regard
the change as most auspcious at this juncture.
There is great battle before us-a battle for the
Union-a battle for the ascendency of the prnci-
pies, the maintenance Of which so nobly sgnalized
the administration OF General Jackson. The tone,
vigor, and statesman-iike grasp which you have
brought to the columns of the Union are not
merely important, they are absolutely indispensd-
bic in this crisis.
With respect, your friend and servant,
FRANK PIERCE.

Mr.. FILLMoRE.-The Kingston (Tennessee) Gaz-
etteep Democratic paper, in its impression of the
18th ultimo, speaks of Mr.. Fillmore as follows:
"With reference to Fillmore as man, it is un-
doubtedly the best nomination the party could
have made He is an Independents, candid poti-
clan. While he occupied the Presidential chair,
he threw off all sectionasm, and administered the
government in accordance with the provisions and
spirit of the constitution dealing out equal-handed
justice to the North and to the South He exhib-
tied his nationality by warm and manly support
of the Compromise Measures. This was his duty !;
and for doing it, he deserves an approving con-
science and the reward of duty well DONE"
An admission SO frank and manly, says the Nash
vile Patriot is highly creditable. 1t is one of the
bright spots in the gloomy horizon of politics.
