 Richard M. Johnson in the Senate of the United States from Kentucky. This we are glad to learn, for various It will be recoected that it was this same Col. Johnson who made the impous decIa- ;ion in Washington that the administration of Mir Ad- ans should be "put down, though pure the angels in heaven" That administration has, indeed, been put down;' hut there is some consolation in tho fection that he who made the above assertion, and who made the most strenuous efforts effect it, is | himself put down by his own constituents. |, In Delaware, John M.

The appointment has yc, to be acted on by the Board of Overseers, meeting of which has been called for the purpose. Mr. 0. as statesman, and magistrate is unquestionably active, industrious and perscverng, and possesses talents of the highest order: bat while such men as Ware, and Everett, and Sparks were willing to accept of the station to which he is called, should think that a literary and scientific institution of the reputation of Harvard would be more likely to flourish under the management of either of those gentlemen.
