These attacks have been cordially responded to by the con- ductors of the anti-slavery party press, in the avowed hope of hounding him out of pub- lie life, if the passion for serving in Congress does not prove stronger in his heart than re- pugnance to playing second-fiddle to the lead- ers of those who propose to obtain power by EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: many years, and is well remembered, cially on account of General Jackson's orablesaying, that Every body had his pest; for bis part, if it were not for Donelson, should have nothing in the world to tro him. The truth is, Donelson was his Mon- steur Malapropos. Being a family connec- tion of his wife, the General was forced to tolerate him about him, and to grin and bear with all the philosophy hoe could muster, the ‘scapes and difficulties into which Donelson was constantly getting him. Donelson’s most Mr. Wilson remarkable trait is an abiding want of com- | governor Sh mon sense, which has prevented him, notwith- standing the prestige of his relationship to the wife of Jackson, from having the least politica weight where personally known.
