"ANDREW JACKSON, WITH THE D0NELSON AN


ANDREW JAChSOh, WITH The DuNELSuN An
NEXED."
If the Philadelphia know-nothings nominated Major
Dopeson for the vice presidency under the impression that
he would give strength to Mr. Fillmore in Tennessee they
are destined to grievous disappointment. As the Chief
Magistrate who approved the compromise of 1850
Mr. Fillmore enjoyed very much Of the confidence and re-
spcct Of the people of Tennessee Two things however
have since occurred deract materially from bis former
standing. He has become know-nothng, and there
State in the Union where kpownothingism is regarded
higher political offence than in Tennessee. In the
last election for governor the question thoroughly
discussed Col Gentrys extraordinary powers
exhausted in vain effort to resist the crushing
assaults of Andrew Johnson. Major Doneson
tive travelling missionary Of the knownothngs and gave
to Col Gentry the full benefit Of his and his exerou
The people rejected Col Gentry Major Donclson and know
no,hingsn and triumphantly reelected Governor An
drew Johnson The thing which win efectuslly pros
trae Mr. Fillmore in that State is the fact that Major Don
elson is placed on the ticket with him He will prove
weight too heavy for Mr.. Fillmore to carry. The follow
ing from the Nashville Unon published Major Done-
place of residence will give idea of his standnga
home:
"'AsoREw JACKSON, rms DosrLsos ASsKrrp'-
Why A. j. Doneson nominated for the vice presidency
lection made because the nominee the relative Of the
wife OF General Jackson Had the democrats made such
accident the ground for nomination 1t would have been
degenerate affection for its greatest into weakness
but for the bitter enemies and lifelong reviler of Gene
raj Jackson tn make nomination Tor such passes
all previou, public exhibitions Of hypocrisy and folly Men
who denounced the whole Of Gen. Jsckson's ad
miustraton claim the greatest merit OF their oand
the presidency the fact that that candidate
the relative the wife Of Gen. Jackson, and trusted BY
him We accept this indirect recsnaton o. the who
up the nothing party OF the abuse they have
mapped upon the Old Hero and viii not BIO too close
tniEng motives. As the Richmond Examiner says, IT il,
aas only long intervals that Nature produces real
Jackson seeming then to rest for period II 10
from the apntude of her labor And IL s the for
tune Of great OF the Old Hero stamp be abused
during life by the very who after death make the
most elaborate efforts TO Affect for their
memories. What a confession have we, in this nom-
nation OF the and the counterfeit presenment Of
Jackson Of the crocodile conuon Of edealdom for the
injury and wrong they did that great and good 10
bis life II Is the misfortune Of Doneson-tbe adopted
nephew something Of the sort of Jackson, without par
cle Of blood relationship the Old Heroic be afflicted
with the chronic idea that the nation pay of bsr
obligations 10 himself for the accidental relations 10 bis "
ustrops patron. The presidency, the Senate the cabinet
vice presidency he esteems but poor boous Of
his and family pretensions. Ho quit the democracy
only when had let 90 the Unios test, failed get
either the cabinet appointment the frstclss foreign
mission he presumptuousy expected, and fear the
worst consequences the nation and himself will hap
pen when he fuds, eight months hence, that single
State viii 60 for Andrew Jackson, with the Doneison
nexed.'" ".
