MAJOR DoNEsoN's LErrER---The New York Her
aid thus aludes to Major Donelson's letter of ac-
ceptance
"This is a good letter, and presents the case of
the American party in a few bold and mastery
touches, without bluster and without Boosting, in
strong and consistent light. Should Mr.. Fillmore
also accept, under cover of another such compre-
hensive and conservative letter, the American
party may yet seriously damage the estimates OF
that intense niggerism which now appears to be
the exclusive active capital OF both the Seward al
lance and the vitiated and wrangling Democracy
of these latter days. 1t is much too soon to con-
clude that there will be no battle at all, ,,...
MIR. FILLMORE ABRoAD.-The Rome correspond
ent of the Herald states that Mr. Fillmore viii visit
Florence, Milan, Venice, Vienna, Munich, Stutt-
gart and Strasbourg, on his way home. The north
of Europe he visited last summer, and there is
probably now no man living in the United States
SO well posted up in foreign affairs, and thor
oughly acquainted with the position of the differ
ent States of Europe as Mr.. Fillmore, and none
who has more judgment to make the proper use OF
his knowledge.
While Mr.. Fillmore, on his way from Marseilles
to Nice was passing through Cannes-memora3le
as you well know in ancient times by the battle
which julius Caesar won over the Gauls, but cele.
brated in latter days most delightful residence
for Englishmen in search Of country life, retire
ment and health--he made short visit to Lord
Brougham, who had shown him some attention in
London, and was not a little astonished when on
leaving the place, he found his lordship (who is
now in very advanced age) waiting for him near
the carriage with splendid copy of new edition
of his Lives of Eminent Men of the reign of George
III. ..t .'t.,
Il His Lordship had come down nearly two miles
from his beautiful palace, foot, to wait on our
venerable ex-President to present him with this
testimonial of his high regard. Of the special IA
vor shown Mr.. Fillmore by the Pope, have spo-
ken in previous letter, where stated that his
holiness bestowed on him more than prncely hoaor
when he invited Mr.. Fillmore to take seat by
his side The King of Naples had an extra train
in readiness to convey Mr.. Fillmore to the royal
residence and wherever else Mr.. Fillmore has set
foot he was received, not only with the honors due
to the exalted station he once occupied but with
that respect for the innate dignity OF the maa
which no official position, however high, can en-
sure, unless coupled with personal dignity and evil
dences of a high individual character.
