Notwithstanding the Democratic party
in Virginia have repudiated the name of
Democracy, the election of their candi-
date for Governor has been claimed as a
great Democratic victory" And yet
there is as little of genuine Democratic
doctrine in his inaugural as any state pa
per we have read in many day. For
example, he advocates that spawn of cou-
solidation and corruption, the assumption
of the debts of the Southern States by
the Federal Government. He pleads
especially for Virginia, but if the scheme
is right in her case, it applies equally to
the others. Another proposition put forth
in the same State paper, is for the build
ing ola canal, by the Federal Government,
across the State to connect the waters OF
the Ohio with the Atlantic
Both these projects embody the quin-
tescence of old-fashioned Federalism, and
are in direct antagonism to the doctrine
of strict construction illustrated by JEFF
terson and jackson and their Democratic
successors They mark out = straight
road to consolidation and the degradation
of the States to the condition aF depend
ants and stipendiaries Of the uationa
government.
These examples, show pAat little mean
ing names have in designating thing 4

Hon X. &. Powers. the Retiring
Governor.

A word of earnest commentator of
| the gentleman who has retired from the
/ office of Governor, will not be out of
place from a journal which did its utmost
to prevent his election, and has observed
his Administration from the standpoint
of political opponent. Candor requires
that we should express the opinion that
he has performed the duties of his office
honestly, and with an eve single to the
best interests of the State. We have not
approved all his acts; but in no instance
has he given occasion to charge that they
were prompted by improper motives.
But for the political divisions that have
impeded intercourse between him and a
large body of our tax-paying citizens, and
prevented interchange Of views, it is quite
probable that there would have been less
cause of complaint from the latter than
has at times been INDUCED. We are sure
that it has been his aim to be the Gov
ernor OF the people, and not of a party
In retiring, he will carry with him the
respect and good wishes of a large ma
jority of his political opponents. We
shall deem our people fortunate if they
shall be permitted to speed the retire
ment of his successor with as cordial
goodwill and appreciation, as it is their
pleasure to indulge towards H. c. Pow

Deeth Of va. c. X. dickson.

We have made no announcement of the
kind for long time, with more sincere
regret than this. C. r Dickson was an
old, and until within the past several
wears. constant citizen of jackson. He
was born Of well-known and honored
parents this father. in the early days of
the State, WAS one Of her Representatives
in Congress-, within the limits of the
corporation of this city; or if not, he was
brought here in his infancy, by his par
ents. He was identified with the town
from the time its boundaries were marked,
until his death. For several years past,
he was in the employment OF the New
Orleans and jackson Railroad, and his
business required him TO take up his resi-
dence at another point; but as often as
opportunity afforded, he would return to
his own home, and for every Qne he had
a warm grasp and a genial smile.
He was endowed with extraordinary
natural gifts, and his intuitive knowledge
of men and motives was wonderful. His
faults leaned to virtues side. His pas
sions. were strong; his impulses generous.
He could forgive an enemy; he never
forgot friend. It has been but briet
+ time since it Was the pleasure of the
writer T. interchange greetings with him
He was in good health, ana spoke hope
4 lully d the future. Unexpectedly, The
sac Intelligence comes that he has crossed
over the river into the endless hereafter
May his resting place under the sod b
his entrance into a higher and brighter
| existence.
