Ifor the Louisville Courierl
Meeting of Col. II. NJ, John son and l.. w.
Powell.

We learn that Col. Johnson has visited the
counties of Madison, Garrard, Lincoln, Ca
sey, Adair, Cumberland, Russell, Pulaski,
Boyle and Jessamine; that with his accustom-
ed energy and frankness of manner, he mixed
freely with the great body of the people, meet
ing with cordial welcome, and a very gener-
al approval of the course he has, and will pur-
sue. The people love him because he has low
ed and served them. The heart of the great
Democratic party, yearn towards him, as their
beauideal of true and faithful public servant
His presence lit into flame the undying EN-
bers of their gratitude and love. Individual
instances there were, supporting Mr., J. w.
Powell, as the nominee of the committee, but
even with those it is common opinion
that Colonel J. w. Johnson is by far the stron-
gest man.
It's well known TO all, that in no even,
will Col. Johnson under present existing cir
cumstances, decline the canvass. But with q
sincere desire of healing the breach in the Dem
ocratic party, he changed his course in his re-
cent tour, TO meet Mr. Powell, and to settle
the difficulty amicably. They met in Cumber-
and county at huntsville. Their meeti ne
was entirely friendly, and it was proposed by
that noble Democrat, DIR. CARRIER, of Adair
county, formerly congressman from that dis
trict,) who accompanied Col. Johnson to Mr..
Powell, that he should run for the office of
Lieutenant Governor with Col. Johnson Mr.
Powell declined the proposition, saying that
had the convention offered him the second place
under Col. Johnson, he would willingly have
accepted, but having accepted the first, he did
not now feel himself at liberty 10 decline.
Col. Johnson then proposed; through Dr.
Gather, that both should resign, and that Col
Boyd and George w. Johnson, the nominees
of the convention, should be requested again
to run the race. This proposition was predicat-
ed upon letter received by DR.. Garther; from
COL Boyd, informing him that he would have
accepted the nomination, If he had anticipated
the difficulty that now existed, and upon G..
w. Johnson letter, declining his nomination,
because Col. Boyd had declined. This propo-
sition Mr. Powell also refused, saying that he
would abide the decision of his friends, and the
democracy of the country. Thus ended the
interview,
The charge has been made against Colonel
Johnson, that he was disorganizer, but TO
those acquainted with the facts it is known TO
be false. On the Louisville central committee
rests the responsibility Of the continuance Of
those difficulties that blast our hopes and des-
troy our prospects. A DBMOCRAT.

We have the official report of this latest effort of Mr.
Webster before us and careful perusal Of it has fully
confirmed impression formed when we heard 1t, thai
is characterized by tone of irritation, disappointment
and dependency, quite unusual with Mr. Webster. The
great federal finds the signs of the times, and the
tendencies of the times both here and abroad altogether
against him, and his party, and his doctrines AT the
conclusion Of his speech, he says of the policy which
looks to acquisition by treaty of territorial indemnity
from Mexico, and the consequent extension of our
publican institutions:
81 to-day and always whoever faters, whoever
FALLS resist although that all the portents are dis
couraging. Would to God coui auspicafe good t"fn
You'd to God that those who think 10Th me on thu
subject had stronger support! Would that "e eo~d "d*d
tchere posd stand But cith @ or Alone my
position is feed If there me would gladly ava
ken the country believe the country viii be awaken
edit may be TOO late but supported or unsupported by
the ssng of God shall do my duty see Ue enough da
the sinister indications but am sustained by deep and
sense of duty and, while supported by that
feeling duty and while such great interests are at stake
shall defy all anguy, and ask no omen but my country
causcw
There is so much of this melancholy and discourage
ment all through the speech, that did not bear all the
marks of full delbera on we should incline to attribute
something of the of the speaker to the gloom and
agitation of mind naturally arising from the painful cir
cumstances under which the speech was delivered.
And yet, independently of any such explanation, the
speech itself furnishes most abundant reason why MIR.
Webster should look to the future with the saddes fore
holdings for his party Considered platform of party
action, and presentment of party issues, designed to
operate in the presidential contest, this effort of Mr.
Webs,es is undoubtedly the very most unfortunate we
have ever known even him to make In this respect il
throws Mr. Clays Lexington platform" and Mr.. Web

Report of the Postmaster General
The report of the Postmaster General is
a document of unusual interest. 1t sets
forth very clearly and fully the operations
and condition Of the Department, and
contains many very important sugges-
tons and recommendations, amongst
the most prominent of which are these:-
To make the rate of postage uniform for
letters at five tents the haIf-ounce; for
newspapers at n cent the ounce; for
periodicals, two cents the ounce; aud for
foreign letters, fifteen cents the half: ounce;
the total abolition of the frankingprivilege;
the prepayment of all mail matter; and
lastly, a change in the tenure of the office
of the Postmaster General, with a view
of removing the opinion which exists, that
as at present constituted the Postofice
Department, is used by politicians at the
seat of government with the view of pro-
noting party purposes and party organi-
cations.

lie money could be disbursed or taxes COL
lected, or moneys paid to the Government
during the disorganization of the Assem-
bly,. The members voting for the resolu-
ton pledged their lives and sacred honor
to sustain collectors of taxes and all off
GERS of Government to carry out the prin-
ciples therein contained. Speeches were
made declaring the belief that the people
o fthe State would rise, after the Euro.
pean fashion, and proclaim a Provisional
Government.-Pica yune.
