Political Boiling.

In 1848-when the great avorite of the
7Yhig party, Henry Clay, was sacrificed to the
successful hero of Buena Vista-''bolting'' was
la passion in many bosoms-as it is now among
some over Republicanized Americans. There
wasea great bolt in the State Capitol, at Albany
and there was a great bolt at Buffalo-and
there was ''oolting'' everywhere in the North,
more or less.
But time came, with healing on its wings,
and soothed away passions, and all these bolts
amounted to nothing. Henry Clay himself
advised peace and acquiescence, and peace was
soon restored to the then distracted Wing par
ty The bolt in New York, and in New
England, amounted to nothing. Gen. Wilson,
the new U. S. Senator bolted as in 1865 in
Philadelphia-but nobody followed him now
nor then. The boilers lost all position, all
force, all influence, and Gen. Taylor in spite
fall boiling carried this State, and carried the
country by overwhelming majorities.
! The boiling Of ''the Republican" or of ''the
Law men"-ifany are boiling now, will amount
to nothing. The great stream of the Ameri-
can party is onward, and it will drown all
boiling and all boilers Individuals cannot
stand in its way, any more than straws. Man
is nothing against great public principle
The nominations in Philadelphia are WISE and
just, and therefore, is the party invincible-
The name Of Fillmore is the brightest one o.
the old Wing names-and the name of An
drew Jackson Donelson, the strongest among
the old Jacksonian Democracy. Boilers can
not damage them n. \. Express

ANDREW Jackson DoNELsoN.-The Frank
fort Commonwealth makes brief but authen-
tic reference to the leading events in the po
Htical life of Maj. Andrew Jackson Donelson,
the American candidate for the Vice Presiden-
cy. Perhaps, with the single exception of
Willard Fillmore, there is not in all the nation
a man who has withstood such powerful infu-
ences in proving his truth and devotion to our
glorious Union as Mr.. Donelson. He battled
for the Union against the masses Of his own
party in Tennessee when such course SEEM
ed to involve political ruin:
Mr.. Donelson was a,nephew of Gen. Jack
sons wife. He was named for the General,
and was brought UP in his family. When
Gen. Jackson became President, in March,
1889, he made Mr. Donelson his private Sec
ret ry.
In 1844-5 Mr.. Donelson was minister tothe
Republic Of Texas, and through him the ne
gotiations and communications which result
ed in the annexation of Texas to the United
States were carried on. While yet IN Texas
he was appointed by President Polk, in 1915,
minister to Prussa-an Office which he held
until very near the close of Folks admins
tration. While minister to Prussia he was by
President Polk, in 1848, appointed minister to
the Federal Government Of Germany. or Ger
man confederation, and for time he discharg-
ed the duties of both offices. In the begin
ming of l849, President Polk transferred him
entirely to the mission to Germany. Upon
the incoming of Gen. Taylor's administration
/ March l649 Mr.. Donelson although Dem
ocrat was not Immediately superseded, but
continued as minister to Germany until the
mission itself was abolished
In 1650-51, when the secessionists and dis
unionists of the South exhibited their mad
spirit and dangerous designs at the Nashville
convention, Mr.. Donelson headed the Union
and Compromise section of his party in Ten
nessee; and by his aid and the aid of many
other patriots, this dangerous political heresy
was effectually Crushed OUT in Tennessee.
When Mr.. Ritehie-the great Nestor Of the
Democratic party-retired from the editorship
of the Washington Union, the party selected
Mr.. Donelson as his successor. He discharg-
ed the duties Of the position we'll and efficient
ly, and to the satisfaction Of his party, until
the secession and Freesoil appointment O
Iof President Pierce made it impossible fol
him to render the administration hearty sup
port He then retired to private life Wher
the American party arose, he recognized in il
the means of rescuing his country from thl
dangers of foreignism and sectional broilI
which threatened it, and he at once gave his
heart and soul to the good cause. He has al
ready done frequent and great service in be
half its noble principles and well deserves it
honors.

Some of the Sag Nicht organs pretend
to think that the American platform must be
afreeslil document because the word slavery
is not contained in it. They must for the same
reason think the Constitution Of the U. States
a freesoil document. The Constitution pro-
tects slavery without using the word, and the
American platform does the same thing.

Fillmore is "a man of negatives" If so he

a positive fool on the same subject.

6FWe extract the following as a specimen
of the dignity with which the leading organ
of the Old Line party in Indiana is con
Quoted:
Sanders Of the Evansville Journal intimates
that we have taken some publication which he
says he made regarding US, 'to heart" and in
sinuates that his paper is "model' one. We
can assure the pigmy that we will never take
anything "to heart'' which he writes about US.
We would as soon think of accusing an idiot
Of having brains as AID Sanders-and would as
readily get angry at an infant as at him. We
might, however, be provoked, by his whining
and bleating to turn him over our knee and
spank him some day, as we do our juvenile
when he becomes obstreperous. AS to injur-
! ing the Journal we consider that impossible.
There is nothing about it to injure.
The author of the above, is the gentleman
who received some silver ware from members
| Of the Democratic party, for his advocacy OF
Democratic principles and few days there
after wrote an article for the Sentinel charging
Gov. Wright with being ''selfpufer," and an
"arrant demagogue." The article as we have
said, was kicked out Of the paper by his sen
ior, and we are not sure but what Cottom's
hinder parts were alsokicked at the same time
as he has been model specimen of humanity
ever since. We don't wonder he feels sore
about that part of his person, and therefore
feels like spanking people to bring about little
fictitious sympathy for that which is stern
reality in his own case

ACTIoN OF THE AMERICAN STATE COUNCIL
AT New YoRK.-The American members Of
the New York Legislature held meeting last
week and unanimously ratified the nomination
of Fillmore and Donelson, and two days after
wards, the American State Council of New
York met at Canadaigua and ratified the same
nomination without dissenting voice. The
following is the official report of the proceed
ings:
CASANDAIGUA, n. Y, Feb. 90.
The American State Council, in session here
to-day adopted the following by unanimous
vote:
Whereas, The American party has, by a
large majority of its entire representation in
convention assembled at Philadelphia, present
ed national ticket and platform of principles
eminently worthy Of the suffrage Of the Amer
lean party in the United States; and, whereas,
as loyal men to the honorable sentiments and
solemn obligations we have assumed, we are
pledged to principles, not men; therefore
Res0lUed, That this grand body solemnly re-
affirm the principles foreshadowed in the above
preamble, and that we will firmly resist the
spirit of faction whenever and wherever and
by whomsoeyer attempted and that we SOL
emily and mutually pledge ourselves to the
union Of hearts and the union of hands, and
also the union of States forever.
It is gratifying to see that the Americans of
the great State Of New York in the State
Council have not only ratified unanimously
and heartily the nomination of Fillmore and
Donelson, but endorsed unanimously and
heartily the sound and admirable platform of
al Convention. Nothing can prevent the State
of New York from going for Fillmore and Don
elson 10y large majority Lon. Jour-
