COL JoHssoS.-On Thursday last many OF our citI-
gems had the pleasure OF seeing and becoming acqua'nt
ed with this patriotic soldier and statesman; on Saturday
night he returned from Slaunton, and proceeded The
next morning on his journey 10 Hartford, Conn., where
he is to be present at a large military celebration, tins
dav There was not much time TO converse upon poll
cs but We learn that he expressed his decided opinion
that Mr. Vnn Buren, will receive the nomination oil the
National Democratic Convention. He said that Tor
hmself he was not anxious to be candidate, but his
friends were DESTROYS that he should and it was IN ac-
cordance with their Wishes that he permitted his name
TO be used in connection with the Presidency lnspeak
ing Of the National Convention, we heard him ourselves
say that eaeh State ought 10 be permitted to select her
delegates any ,cay that The Democracy Of The State
thouekt best
Our Wing friends polite and attentive to The Col
while here, and we were pleased TO see them SO. An
idea is held out Ina, the Colonel is iavore with the
Wings, and that he is their second choice There IS
nothing in bis politics that makes them so suddenly
praise man whom they have heretofore SO literally
abused and they will IN enfod degree increase that
abuse If he should be the nominee OF the Democratic
National Convention. OF this the Wings may rest
assured that Col JOHNSON will take step, do any
act which may cause division in the ranks of the Demo
cratic party or adr0nce The interests Of Whggery and
lis candidates.-GJ. ferS0n,an.

The purpose avowed by OF the Calhoun presses,

dates besides Mr.. Van Buren, assert in the un-

Kentucky, Georgia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and N

Conventions of Michigan, Alabama, Connecticut, and,

Walter Scott 10 pay OF, by the product Of his gor
brain, the mercantile debt he had incurred as
partner with his publishers, though not new is touch
ingly presented in a recent letter Of Mr. Weed 10 Tie

Sir Walter labored with indomitable energy Ia ex
tnguish debt from the coinage OF bis brain Of more
than 5000 for which he had become liable by bl,
business relations with Constable & Co.. and Baan-
tyne Co But the labor was too severe even Tor
ms hercuieaD mental and physical powers. There
were admontions Of the fate which awaited him a,
early as 1926, as may be by note in his private
Journal
" March 4-What a detestable feeling this Aut-
tering Of the heart is know IL is nothing organic
and that il Is entirely nervous but the effects OF
are sickening TO degree. Is il the body brings If
on the mind or Is II the mind that nacts it on the
body ,"
The result Of Sir Walters literary abors, from Ja
nuary, leo 10 January, 1928 was dividend of SIX
shilling sterling the pound TO his creditors amount
ing in the aggregate 10 100000, OF 5000 coo! What
Other author ever did or will realize such am
other sum from his own intellectual labors For
tbs INDUSTRIOUS demonstration of genius industry ard
! integrity The creditors, as well they might 'unanl-
mousIy voted him their thanks" After Tins dividend
had been made, his private Journal says
" | see before me a long, tedious and dark path
but II leads TO stainless reputation. II die IN tie

was struck down by paralysis, and after lingering
few months, was gathered to his fathers. How pain
