COL. RICHARD NJ. JOHNSON,

The feelings in favor Of this distinguished
Statesman and Soldier, are becoming more arpar-
ent and every month that rolls by, developes some
new manifestation ofthe people in his favor, which
conVinces US that if the voice Of the whole peoplo
are respected, and the management Of the Nation

minated Candidate for the Presidency in 1874
There always are few whose sole object IS per-
sonal aggrandisement and who have a desire TO
dictate to the people not only what ticket they
shall vote, but what they shall think and say If
our National Convention should be made ND of
such materials the prospects of Col. Johnson will
be poor: But it is now time to go seriously to
work let every voter not only in this State but
IN the Union, express the honest convictions ofhis
heart, untrammeled by party leaders or aspiring
brawllng demagogues, and our word for it, "1he
Hero Of the Thames" would be nominated bv 4
large majority, and if once nominated, who would
doubt the result? He would in a measure have

our country, Col. Johnson in those trying DAYS
proved his devotion to the rights of the people the
frame, the certificates of true patriotism And it
is for this that the people, the soveregns of the
land are welded TO the name of Richard NJ John

brilliant than that OF a warrior. Are YOU in ia

admitted. it would be impossible for his adninistra-

We arc pleased to hear that the old veteran has
returned to his home at the White Sulphur Springs,
having been on a visit to his brother in Arkansas,
and visited several places in Mississippi and Lou
isana by invitation. The Southern papers are
filled with descriptions of his reception on the diff

to be the motto of the friends Of this Hero, who
never betrayed the trust rcposed in him, and if
