STABILITY OF POPULAR GOVERN.
MENTS.

The London News closes its comment:
upon the death Of Mr.. Webster, and the
effect of his decease upon the country, ms
follows:
at is characteristic of American institu.
tions that the re!ioval of the roEust ard N.
flexible soul will not even for moment bc
felt in the progress Of political events. His
place will be filled more or less aGly-a.id
things will 60 on us if he had never been re-
moved. This is the consequence Of popular
nstitntions-self government-thnt states.
men are the agents, not the master of popula,
opinions and wishes, and that there is always
Il redundant supply Of competent public ser.
wants. Hence steadincss and consistency in
the policy Of popular governments. lndi.
vduals may be tickle and changcablc; but the
masses are ever drcurily monotonous in their
aims and efforts. AS children like to hear
the same tale told over again. so the muIi-
tude like to See their rulers go necessarily
through the same routine. The watch-words
of popular party change slowly. This reilec-
ton places in strong light the fa.uous folly
of those who dream they see in the resusci-
tation of the empire u guarantee to France
for the surccase of revolutionary changes.
By vesting all power in the hands of an
aiitocrat, the French render their national
power liable to shift and change Will! all his
freaks and whms. Nay, they render the
order and tranquility for which they yearn
dependent upon The continuation of his life
certain to be interrupted with its frai and
pccarious tenure. In the Democratic Re-
public Of America the survival or extinction
of master mind like Webster does not for
n moment shake public tranquility does not
perceptibly affect the steady course either of
domestic or foreign politics. In the French
empire, now in progress of Inauguration, the
death Of even q Louis Lapolcon would re-
store anarchy. Every thing would be inter-
ruptcd till the rivals of his inheritance of
power had fought it out, This is nm inevi-
table consequence Of :hc people leaving the
Of their affairs to one or II few,
instead of keeping it mainly in their own
hands. Popular governments among civilized
people are more truly conservative than des-
potisms or Oligarchies"

LETTER FROM GOV. CAMPBELL.
The Nashville Banner of the 18th contains
the following letter from Gov. VIM. B. Camp
hell


the following letter from Gov. VIM. B. Camp
bell:
NASHVILLE, Jan. S, 1853.
! GEN. ZoLLIcorrER: The frequent and
unexpected calls that nave been made upon
me through the Newspapers, to become u
candidate for reelection, require that !
should ut once make known to the people Of
our State, in some public manner, my deter
mination not to be u candidate for reelection
to the Office of Governor.
The reasons which have impelcd me to
| this conclusion are of Il personal character,
and with which the public would have but
little concern. But will state that my pri-
vate affairs, together with the welfare and
happiness of my family, now large and en-
tirely dependent upon my personal exe-tions
for support and education, demand from me
my devoted and undivided attention.
1t is well known to many of my friends
that not only reluctantly consented to be-
come candidate at the last election, but
that then declared that would not run Il
second time. The success which has at
tended my efforts, in connection with those
of the Wing party in our State, has satisfied
me for the sacrifice then made, and shall
ever remember, with grateful prlue, thc KIND
ness and confidence of my tellow-citizcns, re-
GREETING only that have not accomplished
more in advancing their prosprity, their glory,
and their happiness. Among the many hon
est and talented men with which the Wing
party abounds, one can be selected who will
lead us to victory in the approaching contest,
and who will serve the State more advan-
tageously than can hope to do. For the
generous support you, sir, and the Wing
press of our State have given me, | tender
my .incere acknowlcd dgments. ,.
". B. CAMPBELL
Gov Campbell has been faithful Cover
nor. has discharged the duties Of the station
to tho satisfaction of the people, who will
doubtless regret his determination not to
again become candidate.
