When Mr.. Ritchie- -the great Nestor
Of the Democratic party--rctircd from
the editorship Of the Washington Union
the party selected Mr.. Donelson as his
successor. He discharged the duties
of the position we'll and efficiently, and
to the satisfaction of his party, until
the secession and Freesoil appointments
Of President Pierce made it impossible
for him to render the administration a
heavy support. He then retired to
private life. When the American par
ty arose, he recognized it in the means Of
rescuing his country from the dangers
of foreignism and dsectional broils which
threatened it, and he at once gave his
heart and soul to the good cause. He
has already done frequent and great
service in behalf, of its noble principles
and well deserves its honors. aAfa

OUR PAPER--oUR FRIENDS.

Every American, in this campaign,
should take, andread, and circulate, the
"American Union," that he may be
constantly posted in what is stranspir-
ing, and in the saying and doings of
the canvass. We trust that in the 8
months that we have Published the pa
per we have rendered satisfaction to all
our political friends; indeed, we have
not been wanting in evidence that our
course and our labors have been APP
proved. We point to tho past in our
promises for the future, and pledge
ourselves that not one jot or title of
spirit and zeal shall be abated, but
warming up with the canvass, We will
battle on with becoming fidelity for the
great and saving doctrines of Ameri-
canism and for the nominees Of the
Philadelphia Convention.
We have a special favor to ask Of our
friends. And that is that they will
enlarge our circulation among their
neighbors. Cannot each subscriber
procure us another, and thus double
our subscription list and our means of
advancing the good cause? We believe
they can, and we request them, as a
good work for the American cause,
to do it. Let one and all gird on their
armor, and each one work as lie can for
the brilliant triumph that awaits US
Any person who will forward us six
subscribers and 5000 for the paper
until the Presidential election in No
vember next, shall have seventh copy
free Of charge. Now is the time

that they would not be permitted to
land. This had the desired effect, and
the idea was abandoned. When he
returned home, Major Donelson went
to Texas, where he lived when the
question its annexation to the United
States was being discussed. France
and Spain had agents there operating
TO secure its annexation to their gov
crnments, but through Major Donel-
sons efforts, chiefly, it was secured to
the United States.
Mr.. Donelson now retired frompub-
lie life, and continued to live in retire
ment for several years. During the
Fillmore administration, and while the
Compromise measures were under dis
cussion, he became the editor of the
Washington Union, Democratic pa
per. While acting in that capacity his
views were conservative, and his sup
port of those measures did a great deal
towards securing their passage. Mai,
Donelson is one Of the most vigorous
writes in this country. His large ex-
periencc in political life, with the adj
vantage of having been disciplined for
eight years under that great man, An
drew Jackson, qualify him eminently
for the high position for which he has
been nominated.
Untilrecently Major Donclson acted
9TH the Democratic party, but the
departure OF that party from the prin-
ciples of Jefferson and jackson, and
their sycophancy and trucking to the
foreign elements of our population,
dlsgusted him, and he identified himself
with the American party. Mr.. Donel-
son possesses many of the sterling
jqualities of OLD HICKORY, and
should occasion require a display OF
those qualities, it will be found that he
has that great mans firmness and his
intense love of country.

KERN'S DISH SAW.

Mr.. James Kern showed us, the 9TH
er day, an invention for which he OBJ
tained Letters Patent on the 18th of
February last, which is unique in con-
struction and beautiful in operation.
This Improvement consists in the Saw
being readily adjustable from common
straight Buzz Saw, to dishcd Saw,
without taking off the taps or removing
the mandril-by merely turning the
NUTS operating within each other with
beautiful mechanical precision, that
cannot be fully appreciated until seem
The saw in its dished shape, is used for
cutting wagon fellers, chair backs, and
jointing slaves, and any other purpose
for which d curved saw can be used -
1t can also be used, With equal facility,
as an ordinary circular saw. The rea-
diness with which the saw is changed
from one form to the other, makes it
a desirable improvement wherever ci-
thor form is used. The saw is supplied
with feed hands and graduated scale
so constructed that the person attend
ing it may stand at a perfectly safe
distance from the saw and feed the
stuff with ease and accuracy--a great
desidoratum Mr.. Kcrns will sell ter
ritorial rights any where in Uncle Sam S
Farm on fair terms. Here's chance
for speculation, right off!
Iar Mr.. Kern designs exhibiting
tho complete operation Of this Saw in
a few days at Rogers Saw Mill, when
it can be seen by all who may wish.

ANDREW JACKSON DoNELsoN.

hNDiHh oAOhDON DONELSON.
The Frankfort Commonwealth has
a brief but authentic reference to the
leading events in the political life Of
Maj. Andrew jackson Donelson. the
American candidate for the Vice Pres
idency. Perhaps, with the single ex-
ception Of Millard Fillmore, there is
not in all the nation d man who has
withstood such powerful influences in
proving his truth and devotion to our
glorious Union as Mr.. Donelson! He
battled for the Union against the mass
es of his own party in Tennessee when
such a course seemed to involve polti-
cal ruin. Hear the Commonwealth
'Mr. Donelson was nephew Of Gen:
Jackson's wife. He was named for
the General, and was brought up in his
family. When Gen. jackson became
President, in March, 1929, he made
Mr.. DoDoson his private secretary.
In 1844--'5 Mr.. Donclson was min
istcr to the Republic of Texas, and
through him the negotiations and COM
munications which resulted in the an
nexation of Texas to the United States
we're carried on. While yet in Texas
he was appointed by President Folk,
in 1845, minister to Prussia---an office
which he held until very near the close
Of the Polk Administration. While
minister to Prussia he was by President
Polk, in 1848, appointed minister to
tho Federal Government of Germany,
or German confederation, and for a
time he discharged the duties of both
Offices. In the beginning Of 1s49,
President Polk transferred him entirely
to the mission to Germany. Upon the
incoming Of Gen. Taylor's administra-
ton March 1S49) Mr.. Donelson, al
though a Democrat, was not itomcdi-
ately superseded, but continued as min.
ister to Germany until the mission it.
self was abolished.
In 1850-'51, when tho sccessionists
and disunionists Of the South exhibited
their mad spirit and dangerous designs
at the Nashville convention, Mr.. Don.
elson headed the Union and Compro-
misc section Of his party in Tennessee;

other patriots, this dangerous political

THE REFORMATION.

The great Reformation of the 10th
century was a glorious work. The
cause Of popular rights, as well as
pure religion, is infinitely indebted to
1t. 1t is difficult to pronounce too high
n eulogy on that mighty revolution, and
its subsequent influences upon the po-
htltcal as well as moral aspect and con-
dition of the world. And yet the Re-
formation, so nobly commenced and
prosecuted, by the immortal Luther,
was far from being perfect; in some
respects it was very defective; and
the consequences of these defects we
still! feel, and will continue to feel un-
til more human authority passes for
no more than it is worth, and the BIZ
bic and that alone, is made the only
rule Of faith and action.
One Of the cardinal inpcrfcctions of
the works, and one from which many
minor ones flowed, is to found in the
undue concessions made to the Roman
lists for the sake ofpcuce and harmony.
