DEATH OLE GIN. DICKSON.


1t is with feelings of poignant regret that
we announce TO our readers the death OF
Gen. ID. Dickson, one of our Representatives
in Congress. He died in the State of Ar
kansas, about three weeks since on his re.
turn from Washington city. The character
Of Gen. Dickson was too well known in this
State TO require any eulogium from US
His recent election to Congress, in which
he got larger vote than any Of his COM
petItors, bears ample evidence of his con-
tinued standing IN this Slate-atteT having
been for many years III public life, and fill
ling other honorable and responsible sta.
tons. To his family, his loss will be a
serious one--a loss the more distressing
because that he is the third of The family
who has been suddenly and recently cut off.
But the very week before, his son.in.law,
Mr.. Womack died-and whilst the mother
was mlngIing tears with the daughter, for
the loss of her husband, the sad and dis.
tressing intelligence arrived that the mother
too was widow The community sym
pathise deeply with the afflicted family

the most favorable means Between Columbia and

Executive Of lie Nation. The first senti.
ment was as follows:

United States. BY maintaining the true principles
of RepubcanlsIn sud a sound construction ntths
Constitution, he has disappointed his enemies and
fulfilled the most slngulne expec,aiions Of his
friends The great measures ofhis administration
will continue to be supported by the people
After returning his Acknowledgements for the
sentiment expressed, the President offered the iol
lowing

Old Jeficrsonian Democratic Republican principles
which she has so long maintained ami pracuced,

ces of the iederasts, the NulAfcrs, Of the new

If any thing done BY General Jackson
could surprise US, this sentiment, given IN
der the peculiar circumstances il y as, would
produce that effect. The people oi' Ten

take them TO be, if they do not show their
resentment through the ballot boxes, for
this indecent violation Of the rights OF hos.

A Secret Order-We are told. saws the
New York Journal Of Commerce, and on
authority not to be disregardcd, that Sc
cret order has been issued by tie Treasu-
ry Department, addressed TO the Western
Deposlte Banks, requiring them to hold the
specie they receive for public lands, subject
to the orders Of the government. In other
words, that the specie paid for lands is 10
be accumulated III the form Of special de-.
Posles, SO that the government may have
at its disposal the identical specie paid in,
or at any rate an amount Of specie equal 10
all 1rhtch has been paid an. Such an order
would be one Of serious import in more re-
spects than one, and we should have no
doubt what reception il ought to meet with
from the business men and the whole COM
munlty. Before We express our thoughts,
however, we will thank the Globe to tell
US what are the facts.

GENTLEMEN: Our election, as you are aware,
took place the day before yesterday. SO far as

In Bennington county, the tico Van Buren, Sena-
tors are elected by small majorilies but in the
House of Assembly, from the same county, we
have II Wings TO Van Buren, men. The votes
for Governor which have received, indicate
that Jcnnison, the antI.Nan Buren, candidate, will
have been elected by several thousands, though
We have not, o. course sufficient returns to de.
termne with any degree OF certainty. All that
We arc certain offs that our expectations have as
yet been fully answered.
In this Congressional District we have returns
from thirty. seven out of orty-seyen towns, which
give Hilland Hall lthe present Wing Representa-
tivc) a majority of over thousand votes over his
Van Barren opponent He is undoubtedly elected
by from one thousand TO twelve hundred majority.
Very rul, yours.
In Rhode Island, at the late Election for men,
bcrs of the State Legislature, the Administration
party maintained their asceudancy. SO that, al.
though our Wing friends in that State are up and
doing, we must for the present set down that State
