old chief addressed abou. 80, 900 freens|
at that place, will, all that impressive l

characterize his fappiest efforts on j,
eve of a great battle. His voice | am i,
is one that any man might covet. CHI
strong and distinctly articulate, and M
just such powers of compass as are ad,a|

to hear him. '1s So ~
On the following day, it was knos|
the general would pass through hers. NJ
by 10 o'clock our streets were thrupaI
with the hardy yeomanry of the comm
who were eagerly passing in TO exeh,.s
salu,a,ions once more with the illusliel
individual, to whom all eyes are nov

altogether the proudest day that has e,s|
been Witnessed in the annals Of Inc gs|

with Sires and Sons whose pa.iioteb N
SONS swelled with lofty emotions, a. h.ll
the unsurpassing elogusnreaa
flowed from the heart and tongue Of Tlsl

the Wing cause in Ohio is in the .hapt|
of THE PEOPLE, and that the opposingft|
ces. are struck nerveless and dumb! ,fhy|
are still however making death slps|
gle. so reluctant they are to yield up dis
eventfnl field Of contest, knowing, as lhT
must, that the result Of the Govemof,
Election this fall in Ohio, is to give cd
curing to their destiny, not only here s
in many other States. Col. Johnsonhs
made one tour of the State associated VII
Shannon, Allen and Brough-but not \

a few weeks will show that your yenen

1t is matter of some regret to the PEI
sonal friends of Col. Johnson that!bsr
now scattering to the winds, the an1sl'
he SO CALAMITY won at the battle d the
Thames. In some instances he has nOl
only been equiuocai when interogss
about Gen. Harrison's conduct upon ID

the vilest calumnieis. that no other D'
could have uttered against him, but .
