Mr.. Donelson.

We published. few days ago, letter from
| Mr.. Calhoun. while Secretary Of State, to A. }.
Donelson. Esq, urging on him the acceptance OF
the Chargeship 10 Texas. with n view TO the an
nexation of that Republic TO the United States.
The earnestness with which Mr.. Calhoun insisted
that Mr.. Doneson should not decline this highly
important and responsible service was tribute
| of a character and from quarter of which the
most distinguished citizen of the country might
be proud Mr.. Calhoun was not given TO Hat
terry, but he did not hesitate 10 say TO MIR. Don
slson that :. after full deberntion" he had been
.elected a. tho one /" best calculated 10 bring TO
a successful decision the great question Of an.
pexation." lie was also assured that the mission
To which he was appointed, considering its OBJ
iect, rose to "a level with the highest in the gift
of the government" After Mr.. Donelson had
returned from this mission. n communication was
addressed him from the State Department, in the
name Of the President. Mr.. Polk, in which he
was complimen,ed on 1.-THE prudence, discretion
and ability" he had manifested. and was assured
that the publication of his official correspondence
would give him " most enyiable reputation for
The highest qualities Of a Statesman and Dipfo-
mafisf." Whom Mr. Donelson took charge Of
tho Washington Union. Mr.. Pierce wrote him n
letter. commencing - rejoice that the leading
organ of our party il now under your control !"
and concluding with this sentence: 1.-THE tone
vigor and staiesmaniike grasp which you have
brought TO the columns of tho Union AFRO not
merely important, they are absolutely indispen-
sable in this crisis" When it is remembered
how Mr.. Donelson was loved and confded III by
Gen Jack son. and We see here in what esteem
his capacities and services were held by Messrs.
Calhoun, Polk aud Pierce, his friends may well
conclude that he is safe from the attacks Of news
paper writer's and cross road orators Disnara-
cling aud beli,lling filings at him are reproaohes
to the memory Of the mighty dead who were his
friends and insults to the judgment Of honorod
living who haye borne testimony to his abilities
and his virtues. They cannot affect him, but
they may reflect on the party, one of whose
leaders no was, so long rs bo chose to be.

UTM-An act was passed by tho Territorial
Legislature of Utah on thu Eth Of December
last ana approved by Brigham Young (whom the
Pierce Administration has not vet had the nerve
to remove from the Gnvernnrship of that Terri
tory). providing for the holding of an election on
the 10Th "i February to test the popular senli-
ment upon the question Ct holding convention
for the formation OF State constitution. As the
bill was passed in pursuance of Brigham's Off
ciaI recommendation, as well as finally approved
by HIM and as Brighaui's word is both law auf
