Mr.. Madison, to the Virginia Legislature, in

Pierce in his letter, accepting the nomination
of this great Convention for President says
II accept the nomination upon the platform,
adopted by the Convention-not because this
is expected of me as a candidate, but because
the principles it embraces, command the ap-

We congratulate Gen. Pierce and the coun-
try upon this selection. Southern whiggery
has raised its voice against none Of them yet
as we have seen, except McClellsnd, and the
only thing against him is that he is almost as
bad as one Of Gen. Taylor's Cabinet-the un.
fortunate CoIlamer; this we do not believe,
in fact, whatever he has been, we are safe in
asserting that now such is mot the case a warm
supporter Of Pierce and the Baltimore plat
form, all W. Of the South contended for; this
would in a great measure with us atone for
youthful sins Of a native and resident Of the
North. But then he occupies no really con-
fdential position, and on the other hand we
have the opposite extreme in Davis, and this
ought to compensate in some measure even
admitting McClelland is as Objectionable as
the whig press insists which we do not by any
means. Over The appointment of Davis we
feel particularly inclined to rejoice-to crow
throw up our hats and halloo. In this fact,
the principles Of Southern rights we SO nobly
advocated achieved a glorious triumph, while
the opposite faction, with our unfortunate Gov
erncr, goes down-down-nsver to rise again.

That Dream-Party Questions, &c,

Friend Walker, of the yicksburg Sentinel,
has dreamed a dream" which, we suppose,
he would have us believe is not all dream"
A strange dream il was too, fraught with
horrors and people with %faneies, dire and
fresh, reeking from Hades. The editor seems
determined in his hostility to what he terms
the "ferger dynasty not, he says, from per-
sonal ilI-will towards these talented gentle
men" but from an honest dislike to one fami-
y controlling so many offices Of trust and re-
sponsibility. THIS principle, of course, carried
to any great extent, would not be very conso-
nant with a democratic form of government.
What is really feared, we suppose, is that
through this influence the late decision of the
Chancellor respecting the Union Bank bonds
will be carried out and confirmed. This ques-
ton has been raised just in time to figure in
the approaching canvass, and we doubt not it
will form a prominent topic of discussion be-
fore the people.
The bonds Of the Planters Bank will also.
we doubl not, form another electioneering top
&c, and meanwhile, we would suggest to the
voters generally that they should thoroughly
inform themselves on these matters-if they
are not so al~ready-that they may form Their
conclusions aninfuenccd by stump oratory OF
tricks Of mere ~demagcgue and partizan Office
seekers. The democracy meanwhile mus
sleep with our eyes open, for no scheme, trick
or trap will be left by our opponents untried
to secure every Office they can by any posi-
bility hope for. What part Gov. Foote in
tends playiugis not yet laid down on the pro
gramme, although we doubt not il is bein,
matured in his own scheming brain; he still
insists that he is not only a democrat but
democrat Of the democrats |" Whatever re
speet we may have for his abilities il is by N
means probable that the party win entrust hin
with banner, staff, or even corporate commits
sion, during the contest; left thus in a man
ner to fight on his own hook" we may ex
pect that he viii do this, and do il too witt

JUxIus Smith L. l. d., died at Astoria, New
York on the 23d ult The deceased graduated
at Yale College, with John @. Calhoun, and
subsequently became q merchant Of London,
where he was the first to start the project Of
crossing the Atlantic IN steamships. lie en-
gagged in the enterprise in 1882, but it was
not until 1886, that he succeeded in form
ing a company, which built the steamship
British Queen. Meantime he successfully ur-
ged the propriety of chartering a steamer, aid
through his efforts the small steamer Sirius
crossed the the ocean in the spring Of 1888.
The loss of the ill-fated steamer President
caused the company in which he was concern
ed to dissolve, when he returned to the United
States, and Immediately set about to induce
our capitalists to build steamships. He spent
two whole sessions of Congress in securing the
passage of an act by which the present steam
companies secured their contracts for carrying
the mails. At the time of his death he was ~
years ofage. DIR. Smith is the gentleman who,
for several years, has been engaged in the cul-
ture of the tea plant in South Carolina. His
death was caused by injuries received from a
violent assault made upon him on his planta-
ion a year or two ago.

Mr.. Editor: The time is approaching when
the democracy of Mississippi must decide who
shall be their candidate for thedifferent Offices
Of trust and responsibility within the State.
The writer of this being one of the democra-
cy, and as such, interested in the advancement
Of her principles, feels the only way to pre-
serve them pure is to make choice of men
true and tried. And without wishing to de-
tract from any other of the able men of the
party, would speak his candid opinion and
decided preference in the person of the Hon.
William Melville, whose sterling qualities as
a man and patriot-true as steel in the hour
OF trial-attracts the attention of the party,
and points him out as one in every respect
qualified to fill our ~gubernatorial chair with
honor and benefit to the State. Our Execu-
tive should be a man in whom we could re-
pose entire confidence, and none could better
command this confidence than Col. Melville
his firm adherence to democracy in the dark
est hour of adversely, and his fearless and able
advocacy of her principles in their severest
trial would satisfy all of his eminent fitness
for this or any Office in the gift of the people,
or their Legislature.
