OBITUARY..
Death of the Governor of Kentucky.

The Legislature of Kentucky concluded its
session with the melancholy office of attending
the funeral obsequies of His Excellency JOHN
BREATHITT, Governor of the State. We have re-
ceived paper containing the ceremonial di-
rected by the General Assembly, to pay its last
honors to the excellent and amiable man, who
was so endeared, by his public and private vr-
tues to his fellow-citizens He lived through all
the bitter party strifes ofKentucky, and we firm
ly believe he died without an enemy-Glob
When we are awakened from our dreams of
mimic life, so wildly portrayed by histrionic
Skill to the fatal realities of life the blow falls
with double severity. Such was the effect on
Monday evening, when on the falling of the
curtain at the Arch street theatre, after the first
piece-Mr. Thayer stepped forward, announced
the sudden death Of Mr.. WILLIAM FORREST, the
Manager, and requestedthe indulgent sympathy
of the audience, for the postponement Of the
remaining entertainments. A shock so sudden
and so appalling, it has seldom been our lot to
record. Engaged in his duties all the morning,
it appeared but moment before he had been
among us, in the full enjoyment of health, when
the hand of the unsparing destroyer struck him
down.
Mr. Forrest was great and general favorite
among his associates, to whom he was endeared,
by every feeling of kindness and Affection
Few possessed a more placid or even DISPOSE
ton, and few won friend so fast and firmly. In
his private relations he was equally estimable,
and his bereavement as son and brother, Will
be long and severely felt.-U. s. Gaz.
Mr.. William Forrest was, we believe, the bro
Their of Edwin Forrest the distinguished Ira
gedian-Aler GGz.

ALEXANDRIA:
FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 2, 1884.
REPUBLICAN DOCTRINES.

MI. adverse factions of the present day have
III and all. we believe, denominated them
s,res mar e:rcellence, the Republican party
Ia.a definition be asked of this Republication,
sowever and the various answers to the ques-
.;,o will show that no one Of them agrees with
.hs other,-and, hence, that the mere name is
.donted without any reference to principles.
One party proves that the essence of Republi-
,,nism is devotion to Jackson: the nulliier tells
,ou that he only is Republican who supports
sis doctrine, &c. &c.
When the South Carolina disturbance divid-
a the nation, we took occasion, at an early
asv. TO state our views on that question, as well
&C on secession, &C.. by quoting and adopting
,ha opinions of Mr.. Madison, as expressed in
,is letter to Mr.. Everett. Those opinions, thus
noted and adopted, we desire to be consider
n onr own creed and doctrine with regard to
those matters.
We desire now, also, to state our opinions as
90 what are now Republican doctrines and
rho are now Republicans;-and this we do in
enc language of Mr.. Janney, one of the dele
..,es from Loudoun, in his recent speech on the
nomination OF MI. LciSh W TIC OCnat0'
Mr. JANNEy said:
cvvs have been amused with discussion as
% which of the two candidates was the better
psnpblican; but this is controversy which ne
rsr can be settled, until we can agree upon
.or,s common standard by which to try the le-
r;imacv of their titles. The member from
4 Civ (Mr. Jones) claims to be Republican,
I'd maintains that the States retain undiminish-
Al their entire original sovereignty, and that
HE Is the only true Republican doctrine. The
Gentleman from Isle of Wight (Mr. Holleman)
Considers the President of the United States a
s. genuine Republican, and seems to think sup
SSort of his measures the best test of the true
faith while |, on my part, also claim to be
Republican. and yet differ from both. The
Gentleman from Isle of Wight, who is an ardent
snnnorter of the present Administration, might,
one would suppose, be perfectly satisfied with
either of the candidates, on the score of their
poltical orthodoxy, when we see that Louis
McLane and Roger B. fancy have been admit
ted into full membership and placed at the head
of the communion table. The theories of the
present day are too fuctuating and fieeting to
be relied upon. want practical test, and in
this case can find it. Ours pas intended to be
in practice what it is in theory, a government of
La,rs, emanating from the people; but now we
behold our destnies bound up in the will of one
man. and the enterprise and the energy of a
free people, palsied by one of their public SER
wants. That man is, in my judgment, the best
Republican who, whatever may have been his
former party designation, is now most willing
to devote himself to the service of his country,
and to rescue her valued institutions from the
peris which surround Them"
This is our doctrine. We want no better
evidence of Republicanism.
