II be, before our Tree EOVernIneHt SHdll uS0u
lnv other arms to sustain il, than the re-
spect, the confidence and the love of the
people.
Col. Johnson and Mr.. Tyler, the candi-
dates in Pennsylvania for the Vice Presiden-
cv, require little to be said, in order to place
their respective claims before their fellow
citizens in their true light. OF Mr.. Tyler
we know little. He has done nothing, ell
ther in a civil or q military capacity TO rem
der himself conspicuous. He may be
respectable man enough, but lie was nomi-
mated by bargain or accident, and has no
better claims to the Office, than thousands Of
others, as capable and as deserving as him
self. OF Col. Johnson, no child can be
found who does not know something TO his |
credit. During thirty years services in
Congress, he has always been the champi- |
on of the poor, the fliendless and the lorsa-
ken.
Even Mr.. Webster, political opponent |
few days ago in the Senate, paid bun a
well deserved compliment, for his efforts to
abolish Imprisonment for debt, tha! would
confer honor on the great name Of Wash
ington, as a man and philanthropist. His
bravery is Of that chivalrous kind, that nei-
ther shrinks from ror cares for danger. He
never deserted his post nor shrunk from
periis His courage it was that gained the
/ brilliant victory of the Thames His friends
need not solicit afidavits and certificates to
prove his bravery and his merits He wears
the certificates on his scared breast When
he brandished his shattered and mangled
right arm, in the very teeth of Tocumseh
and his Indian warriOrs--no man asked his
fellow, whether Col. Johnson was soldier.
The real hero needs no champion for his
fame, but the troops that follow him to bat
tie. The shout of victory thundcrs forth
his name, and carries it on the wings Of
the wind the remotest Of his counirviuen.
The very children echo ihe shout, and his
tory makes the name immortal. Such is
Col. Johnson's fame.
The national convention failed to nominate
him, but Pennsylvania has already done so,
subject TO the reversal of that body. 1t
nominated no other person--and we acoor-
diagly have the pleasure in Pennsylvania,
of assuring the old veteran by our votes that
ihe democratic party is neither unmindful
of his services, nor ungratelal TO the soldier
and the patriot,
, Ever fruitful in falsehood and calumny,
J the federal organs have asserted and contin.
ne 10 reit!eraie the assertion, that the demo-
cratic party advocates the doctrine Of re-
; lucton Of the price of labor, and that the
: Hon. James Buchanan las recently broach-
J ed this doctrine in the Senate Of the U. S.
Never was more unfounded lalsehood utter
ed. Neither Mr.. Buchanan nor the demo
cratic party layors such views His speech
