Hon. JonN l.. DAWSON, This we'll
known Pennsylvania died at his resi-
dence, Friendship Hill, Fayctte county
on Sunday evening last, after n briei
illness. Mr.. Dawson was born in
Fayette county, and after receiving a
liberal education at Washington col
lege, studied law and began the prac-
tice of his profession. Entering into
politics at an early age, he soon took
a leading part on the Democratic side
in all current controversies, and was
appointed United States Attorney for
the Western District of Pennsylvania
in 1915, by President Polk. He was
subsequently, elected to the Thirty
second and Thirty-third Congress, and
again te the Tbirty.eighth, during
which he was a member of the Com.
miltee on Foreign Affairs. Mr.. Daw.
son was the author of the Homestead
bill of 1851, and a delegate to the
Democratic National Conventions ol
lS4l, lS4s, 1856 and 1860. General
Pierce rendered the Governorship ol
Kansas to Mr.. Dawson who declined
the position. In 1864 Mr. Dawson
was chosen to the Thirty ninth Con
gress, which ended his public career
As speaker, Mr. Dawson was pleas
ing and persuasive, while bis socia
qualities were of a character to endeal
him to wide circle Of attached friends
The deceased was a representative
man in Western Pennsylvania, anC
his death will be a public as well as
private loss.

TnE TIDAL WAVE. = During the

been running swiftly in favor of the
Democratic party. In April, Conecti-
cut led of BY the election Of Demo.
cratic Governor This was a marked
gain. Oregon followed in June, sweep
ing everything on the board from
Governor to the United States Sena-
tor. Two months later the Demo
Gratis carried North Carolina, choosing
twothirds Of the Congressional delo-
cation and gaining one United States
Senator. Considering that North
Carolina had gone Radical by many
thousands majority, the year previous,
this triumph Of the Democracy is par
ticularly significant. Notwithstanding
that 10000 votes bad been added by
the adoption of the Fifteenth Amend
ment. which il was calculated would

ried the Stated by their previous ma

thousand majority at the Presidential
election, gave the Democrats seventy
thousand majority at the recent cleo
ton of Judges while Vermont and
the Radicals pet State, Maine, showed
heavy Democratic gains at their last
elections. There are strong induce

the part ofthc Democracy of Pennsyl.

preventing an intended escape, that he
would kill the warden. 1t is singu

convict March 27, 1862, which caused
his death on the following day. a

The New York Journal Of Com
merce has received from Texas a very
long petition, signed by many respec'
table citizens OF that State, asking
Congress to guarantee to them re
publican form of government. The
petition is strong, but temperately
wordcd, and we should think could
not fail TO produce a good effect
wherever read. 1t asks nothing but
what every lover Of republican insti.
tutions of all parties ought to be glad
to see established in Texas-that is,
q form Of State government analogous
to that Of other States Of the Union.
They say they are fully prepared TO
live under such government in peace
and quietude, and we credit their as
sertions, for there is no part of this
country where industry, frugalily and
obedience to the laws (cruel and I'M
lust as many Of the statutes are) pre-
vail more than in Texas. The journal
Of Commerce Justly remarks that no
people on earth, except those who
have been trodden under despotic
heels for centuries, and in whom the
love of freedom is a lost sense, could
be patient under such tyranny as the
Texans now suffer from. The Gov
ernor has u larger share of irrespon'
sible, one man power than falls tc
any potentate in Christendom, except
perhaps, the Car of Russia, and this
power he abuses, as the Russian auto
crat does not. 10 begin with, the
Governor is commander.in chief Of
tho militia, and has q large force al
his disposal. Then he is supreme
head Of an extensively organized
State police, having members in all
cities and towns. Then be has the
appointment of all the district attor
ncys and every county and municipal
officer in the State, even down to the
aldermen Of cities. Every soldier
every constable, and every civil func
tionary is solely responsible 10 the
Governor. Tho act by which the ap'
pointmenl of civil officers are given
to the Governor was passed in direct
violation of the State Constitution,
but the Legislature who were merely
the creatures of the ambitious execu
tive, sticklcd at nothing to please
him. There are now some signs Of q

"THIs IS A FREE CoUNTRY"-It is
the Just paid and boast Of all Ameri.
can citizens, native born and adopted,
that this is free country. Here, as
in no other country on the face of the
earth, the people may assemble in
public meetings and give expressed
and form and force to their views and
honest convictions upon any subject,
in public speeches, by resolutions or
otherwise. Here, the right of free
speech is held sacred, and the right TO
publish freely the thoughts Of freemen,
is one that is cherished and exercised
by all men. None of these rights
were ever interiered with or denied to
the people, except by the leaders of
the Radical party during and since
the war, The efforts of the Radical
leaders to deprive the people of these
rights, have been stoutly resisted by
tho Democrats of the country, and
there is every reason to believe that
the Democracy will succeed in secur-
ing full and complete restoration to
the people of the United States of all
the rights and privileges that they
possessed and enjoyed in times past
before the Radical usurpcrs and
monarchists came into power" -
