- WHO sa1Als. BE GOVERNORS

We publish, this morning, a cOmmlnica-
ton from an esteemed and intelligent citi-
zen of Vermont Oh the governor question.
The writer of lLc letter il a native Yer.
lnontcr who has frequently been honorci
by their suifrages- he has, also, hon
ored them of large experience in state
affairs, well read in, and UNDERSTANDINGS
convcrsant with, national and state hsto-
iy and politics, and has had q familiar and,
in most instances, an intimate acquaintance
with the public mcn Of Vermont for the
past thirty years. He Is, withal, as will
readily be seen, "a plain spoken man =
perhaps some may consider him too much
so-but 1t is not common fault The let
ter in all its parts does not commend itself
TO Our judgment and approval. There arc
certain portions thercot-personal allu-
Sions, for inatauce-which might have been
omitted. The character of the writer,
however. and the fact that lie deemed the
whole as necessary for complete discus
sion Of the question, led US, III the first
place, to conclude to publish it IN its en-
tireiy. There was, moreover, another con-
sderation which would have impelcd us to
that conclusion. The people of Vermont,
one and all, are deeply interested in the
character, experience and ability Of those
who represent them before the world, es-
pccially of him who occupies the chief eX-
ccutive onicc-thc highest and most hon
orable position in their gift II is udneccs-
sary to state wherein we agree and wherein
we disagree with the writer-it is, proba.
bly,, Of no consequence. We are, howey-
or, in most cordial accord with one scnti-
ment expressed; and we most heartily wish
that this whole question might be disposed
Of by the nomination and election Of Chief
Justice John Pierpoint as the next govern
or of Vermont. We believe that the an
nouncemcnt of the fact that he intended to
retire from the bench at the close of the
present term would unite the whole party
in his favor lie is yet, il is true, full Of
life and vigor, but he has arrived at about
the age at which Chief Justices Williams
and Royce retired, and were taken up by
the people with hearty unanimity, and
their public life rounded out with this
GROWING honor. We believe that now, as
then, all candidates would retire in his IA
vor, and that the same unanimty would be
displayed in honorlng another citizen who
had passed lifetime in the service of Yer
mont and who had never brought reproach
to her good name.

TEgE MEANING or INTERNAL EN-
PROVEN ENTS.

The journals Of congress, the public laws
of the United States, and the reports OF
congressional debates. all show that the
practice of making appropriations by Con
gress, in one form or another, to promote
internal Improvements is coeval with the
foundation Of the government. And here
let us ask, il the wisdom Of such police
has not been demonstrated by the growing
and almost miraculous prosperity Of tie
country ?-much of which can be traced di
rectly to this action on the part of the
general government. But for the doubt in
tie minds of some, in reference to the
constitutional power of Congress in the
premises, there would be only one opinion
in reference TO its wisdom, and ability ~
the outset, in discussing this question, We
are met by the inquiry what IS meant By
internal Improvements ? AS General jack
son and his advisers defined it, there is nc
question in reference to the constitutional
power Of Congress 20 appropriate money
for this purpose. His definition is almost
in the express language of the constitution.
when lie says that 1t is sin building, inn
proving and preserving the public forts
bays, and harbors, and removing obstruc.
tons 90 the navigation of rivers which are
national highways" To do this, the con-
stitution expressly confers power upon
Congress If this WAS all there was Of it,
it would simply become a question Of poll
cy, Il conflict between localities, not ques
ton of power and right. There Is another
definition of internal improvements which
goes to the other extreme. II would
contend that Congress had full power
TO make any and all kinds Of
improvements" without regard to state
lines, state or individual rights 1t would
make the government one of centralized
powers, would destroy individual, cor
porate and state rights and tend, ultimate.
ly, to despotsm. The popular idea OF
the term is between these two extremes, II
is the policy urged and carried on by the
wing party, and at times, by the demo,
cratic party General Jackson, himself
with all his individuality, independence
and force of character, was compelled, as
will be seen in the course of this discussion
to Ego back" on his definition and yield
to the popular will. just what is meant
by the term ''internal improvements
would be difficult to express in exact
words, without occupying too much space
constant repetition, and much of circum,
locution. For our purpose, VIC have suf
iiciently defined it. The true idea is be-
tween the two extremes and cannot be
misunderstood. The popular definition IL
contained in resolution, with the addi
tlons indicated, adopted by Congress in
