We may expect during the canvass to
hear all sorts of rumorS prejudicial to the
success of Mr.. Fillmore. The game has
already started. In the Union and AHeri-
can of Saturday, we find the following
"There is n rumor afoat that Mr.. Ready, of
Tennessee, is likely to take the same position
Gn favor of Buchsnan,) the truth of which we
question"
If you questioned the truth Of the rumor,
why did you print it? May not less scrupu-
lous partiSans take it up aad repeat it as
truth? We think we see the indignant
fash Of Ready's eye that this publication
will provoke when it reaches him. We tell
our friends to nail the rumor ut once. 1t
is a mischievouS fabrication-an untruth,
without an excuse to palliate it
Right here, it is proper to call attention
to the following also

AMERICAN ELECTORAL TICKET.
MONDAY, JUNE 80, 1856.
mr.. Buchanan and the establishment
of the Washington Union.

mr.. Buchanan and the establishment
of the Washington Union.
Mr.. Blair, who played so conspicuous a
part as the editor of the GioJe, during the
administration of Gen. jackson, published
letter on the 26th of April last. which
throws additional light upon the character
of Mr. Buchanan. 1t appears from that
letter that the money which established the
Washington Union, was drawn from the
public Treasury for that purpose before the
Inauguration of Mr. Polk, and that this was
done at the instance of Mr.. Buchanan
Mr.. Blair says: Mr.. Buchanan, it appears
from a letter on file in the Treasury Depart
ment, was not allowed 70 escape his part of the
responsibility for the most delicate part of the
operation-the taking the $4,000 to establish
an organ. Mr.. Tyler WAS willing TO let Mr..
Cameron have the $4,000 out Of the public
Treasury to make provision for the political
bantling on which so much depended; but as
Mr.. Buchanan was to become a special benefi~
cisry 10 the premiership, it considered a
wise precaution that he should, in writing, re
commend Mr.. Cameron as a tit recipient of this
grace from the administration and oftrust from
the Treasury"
"The confidence thus reposed in Mr. Came
ron al around and the hold it gave him on
Mr.. Buchanan, elevated him to the Senate of
the United States Possibly the $50 900 helped,
rs he only advanced out of it the first install
ment for the Globe, as appeared from his testi-
mony before a committee"
Can this be true? We ask the question
in all sincerity, trusting that our neighbor
of the Union and american will not allow
his party feelings to overlook the impOr-
lance of the considerations involved in it,
If Mr.. Buchanan had an agency in taking
the peoples money out of the public Treas
ury to establish a newspaper organ, the
country ought to know it, and in time to
prevent the repetition Of similar outrageS.
There is nothing which those who framed
our Government took more care to protect,
than the public money and an individual
capable of doing an act so much against
the spirit of the constitution, must be pro-
nounced as unfit for the duties of the chief
magistracy Of the Union.
Objectionable as Mr.. Buchanan appears
in the corrupt proposition which he made
to Gen. jackson and Mr. Clay in the cleo
ton of Mr.. Adams, we are persuaded that
the agency aScrbed to him in the eStab
lishment Of the Washington Union by the
public money, if not disproved, will make
even the sham democracy ashamed of him.
But it is not our purpose on this occasion
to examine the grave questions which are
suggested by the statement of Mr.. Blair.
We shall wait until we hear what The friends
of Mr.. Buchanan intend to say on the sub
iect

MIR. Andrew jackson.

1t grieves US TO find that the above gen.
tleman has consented to become the instru-
ment of the sham democracy so far as to
lend his name to those who choose to make
use of it, to SANDER the memory of Gen.
jackson. This Mr. jackson is spoken of
as the only son of the General, his heir, eT-
eoWtOr, DC All this is said to deceive those
who live at distance from the Hermitage,
which has been recently sold to the State
of Tennessee. The fact is, that he is no
more related to Gen Jackson than is any
other nephew of Mrs jackson He was
adopted when an infant, and has proved
himself totally incompetent TO manage the
estate which was villed to him in conse-
quence of bis being thus adopted.
Gen. jackson seemed perfectly aware OF
the incompetency of this adopted son when
be died; for we fee that he left his papers in
the hands Of Mr. Blair, with an injunction
TO take care of his reputation. He left
his Tennessee sword to Maj. Donelson as a
memento of his confidence aud affection, re-
GREETING that the embarrassed state of his
affairs did not enable him 10 do more.
Mr.. Buchanan, the nominee Of the dem
ocratic party, is the author Of the vile ca
lumny against Mr. Clay, but now wants 20
make it appear that this was Gen. Jack
sons wrong and not his. Gen. jackson 10
protect himself against such conduct, writes
letter before be dies, stating the facts.
And this Mr.. Jackson is simple enough to
sign his name TO paper diserediting the
statement of Gen Jackson !
We did not suppose that there were men
in Tennessee wicked enough thus TO avail
themselves Of the amiable imbecllity Of
this man, who talks about his affection

nant attack upon his memory

RoUeH AND READY, WARREN Co., Tenn,
August 6, 1856.
SRI: Presenting from the tone Of the public
press of Great Britain that the government is
still DESTROYS of obtaining the services of sew
ersl thousand men to recruit her army in the
Crimsa, | respectfully submit the following
proposition to your government:
l. Ii the government of Great Britain will
give ME 100000 dollars, l will raise and
march division of 5000 men to the various
ports in the United States, from whence they
may be shipped to the Crimea or elsewhere
9 That the British government confer upon
me the rank of major general, with the inda-
pendent command of the SAID troops and that
said troops shall select their officers from
among themselves, and be commissioned in
their respective grades by the Queen.
g. That the said troops shall not be enlisted
for longer period than during the war, or
five years, at the expiration OF which they
shall be shipped to the United States, and be
discharged.
4. That said troops receive the same pay
and emOluments as troops of the British line.
8. That the stimulated amount of $780,
600 dollars be placed in the hands of special
agents or bankers in the United States, to be
drawn as the men are delivered, in proportion
able rates to the number of men to be deliv
cred.
g. That the British government agree to
have said troops shipped from the ports at
which they may be delivered, within ten days
after their arrival, or bear all losses by deser-
ton, cost, &c.
Z. That if the number exceed 5000, then
the same proportional ratio be paid for the
overplus.
Your excel!ehcy will perceive at once the
impossibility Of enlisting Americans to serve
under British officers; those men, if enlisted,
will do so under a state of excitement and
love of change; hence their immediate ship
ment will be necessary.
Our treaty obligations with Russia can be
handsomely eUaded.
Your excellency's opinion on the above by
return of mail, if possible, will oblige &C.,

Last evening the anti-AmeriCans had a rati>

got out of the Iost office few hours before,

are sorry we have not room for it entire,)
which thus plainly breaches the doctrine OF
Squatter S"verignty-as plainly as ever did
the NICHOLSON LETTER"
1.-THE agitation on the question of domestic
slavery has too long distracted aud divided
the people of this Union and aenated their
affections from each other. This agitation has
assumed many forms since its commencement,
but il now seems TO be directed chiefly to the
Territories; and judging from its present char
acter, think we may safely anriciDate chat it
is rapidly approaching ''finality." The re"
cent legislation OF Congress respecting domes-
tic slavery, derived, as it has been from the
original and pure fountain oflegitimate political
power, the will of the majority, promises ere
long to alay the dangerous excitement. This
egisla- ton is founded upon principles as ancient
a. free government itself and in accordancewith
them. has simply declared THAT THE PEG
PLEOF A TERRITORY, LIKE THOSE OF
A STATE, SHALL DECIDE FOR THEM
SELVES. WHETHER SLAVERY SHALL
OR SHALL NOT EXIST WITHIN THEIR
LIMITS.
Mark the words" LIKE THOSE or A STATE"
The sentence might have left the question Open
bad Hey been omitted. They are put in,
however, to contrast the power of the "peO-
pie of the Territory" with that of the people
of a State perfect, or inchoate. In the broad
est terms Mr.. Buchanan declares that the peo-
pie of Territory tnay-n0t, "form and regu
late their domestic institutions" which words
in the Kansas act simply imply the power to
form o State Constitution TO cover all domes-
tic insritutons-not only hGt--but LIKE
THOSE OF A STATE, shall decide for them
selves, whether slavery shall or shall not ex-
lit within their limits"

Mr.. Buchanan III his letter of acceptance
openly and boldly approves this doctrine.
Remember that, people of the South, and
read the following
From National EuteUigencer, Jane21
"But, while giving to his letter the ac-
acknowledgement of our admiration and respect
we refrain from evOking any recolections
which may seem to mar the sincerity of our
praise, and for like reason we forbear all
comment upon the Interpretation which Mr.
Buchanan gives TO a certain disputed point OF
Democratic doctrine respecting the power OF
d Territory to establish or prohibit the insti
tution of slavery. Mr. Buchanan, it will be
seen, gives in his adhesion to the principle of
squatter sovereignty las it is popularity called
in terms the most definite and express, under
standing, as lie does that Congress by its re
cent legislation upon this subject, has simply
declared that the people Of a Territory, like
those of State, shall decide for themselves
whether slavery shall or shall not exist within
their limits"
From the Savannah (Ga) Republican, (Anerican)
"On squatter sovereignty Mr.. Buchanan is
clear and explicit. There can be no question as
to his opinions on this point. He avows the
doctrine in its broadcast sense, placing the peo-
pie of the Territories and the people of the
States upon exactly the same footing as re
CARDS slavery. How our contemporaries of the
Georgian, the CoaStitutiORaList, and the Rich
mond Enquirer, will meet his views on this
important subject, we are little curious to
know. They have all recently entered their
solemn protest against the doctrine, and it re-
mains to be seen whether they will stand to
their positions, or desert them in such al
emergency.
