under this pretext, to revive the old scandal
about Mrs. jackson, proves only his own
reckIessness. The first scandal of this sort
was started by the Washington Union in
publishing that Maj. Donelson was only the
Nepheuo of his AUNT Whatever may have
been Mr.. Brownlow's errors on this subject,
the miserable attempt to reproduce them,
can have no other effect than to fix the
public contempt on the authors of it.
If our neighbor is so sensitive on such
subjects, we would recommend to him his
own conduct when he was so active IN
printing and circulating Cheves' speech call
inc the Constitution dead carcass. We
would also call his attention to the violent
denunciations of Mr.. Polk by Mr.. Wise,
and to the gross language applied by the
Nullifers of the North to Gen. jackson IN
1882. If such enormities can be swallowed
by our neighbor, without producing convul-
sions. we think that he need not be afraid
of the support Parson Brownlow is giving
to Mai. Donelson. The story about Mrs.
Jackson has been buried twenty-eight years.
It will be in vain that modern Democracy
has now dug it up for the purpose OF lrJurlng
her nephew.
Mai. Donelson stands exactly where he
did during the lifetime of Gen. jackson,
who enioined upon him, in his last will and
testament to defend the Constitution against
foreign foes and domestic traitors. He learn
ed from this great man, that attempts to
obstruct the execution Of the laws OF the
land ought to be called reasonable. He has
followed his advice, and it remains to be
seen whether the people can be induced, by
the acts of the modern Democracy, to con-
denim and prescribe him.
The members of the American Party dc
not take cognizance Of opinions once ex
pressed and entertained by Maj DonelSon
respecting the points of policy which divided
in by-gone times, the Wings and Democrats
But they are united in upholding him fol
the support he has always given to the
Constitution and the Union. They admire
the frmness with which he rejected the
propositions of NulliferS and AbolitioniSt
to make the Union the organ of such an al
minstration as that Of President Pierce
They cherish grateful recollection of TIN
prompt terms in which he denounced tn
efforts of the Nashville Southern Conven
ton to dismember our Confederacy. And
not less than this, they honor the boldnes
with which he has advocated the PROPOSE
ton of the American Party to check tn
insolent intrusion Of foreign and Roman
Catholic influence into our ballot boxes. L
is on such grounds that he has become tn
candidate of the American Party, and W
trust that he will receive the support of al
men who love their country better than tn
old watchwords of Democracy or Wing
