FOR GOVERNOR,
n E u B E N w 0 O !
OF CUYAHOGA.

which assembled in Columbus, on Monday, the
9Th inst, nominated Hon. WILLIAM JOHNSON, of
Cincinnati, for Governor. Mr.. John son was for
merly from jefferson conuty, he having first prac
tsed law, We believe, in steubenviIle. He then
owing 10 an accident which we shallnot mention,
removed to Carrollton, Carroll county, where he
proctised law, edited whig paper, and lectured
for number Of years. During his sojoum in our
neighboring county, he became well known TO
most of the citizens of this place, and. we believe,
it wasin Cadiz that he first obtained the cognomen
o "Booby Johnson" At all eveu.s, now that he
has come to be great man, our citizens ire dispo.
sed to lay claim to this honor supposing, as they
do, that this handle to his name proved the pre-
cursor to all his subsequent good luck. In lo40,
or had one written, which he delivered in most f
the principal places in Ohio and thus obtained
the reputation with his whig admirers of being
"only second, as stumper to Tom Corwin him
self" For this speech, he was rewarded by Pres
idcnt Harrison, with the post of Surveyor General
for two or three of the Western States After
President Harrison's death, and the veto Of the
United States Bank bill, Ewing and the whis par
ty Of Ohio fell out with Tyler-resigned their posts
and expected, by so doing, to stop the wheels Of
Government, modestly suPposng that the Captain
could not find another set Of fellows fit to f their
shoes. Mr.. Johnson, how ever, took an entirely
different view of the matter. lie con sidered the
difference between the Wing party and Tyler
good deal like that "'twixt tweedle dunn and
tweedle dee" and us some hundreds oil dollars
depended on his decision, he wisely concluded to
hold fast TO the Captains coat tall and the salary
appertoi ming to his Office. For the time, this pla-
ced Mr.. johnson in bad odor with the Ewiagites.
md he was refused seat in the great Whig San
hedrim Of Ohio. When Mr.. Polk entered upon
the discharge Of his Presidential duties, he dis
missed Slr. J. who Immediately commenced hos
! tiities against the Democratic party, and was
forthwith restored TO fall fellowship with the oppo-
ion, and few years ago, he was elevated to Il seat
on the bench, and at present wears the ermine
of the Supreme Court of Cincinnati, independent
ofbeing the Whig Standard bearer Of the Wing
party for the campaign of 1850.
We all along thought thai the day would come,
party, and the nomination of Mr. Johnson shows
that we were not wrong in our calculation -
While Clay, Webster, and host of other leading
National Wings have been csahewed by The party
in Ohio, the adh erents of the Administration of
John Tyler are coming into power. They are pla-
cCd in the highest seats IN the synagogue, and are
hereafter 10 give tone to the morals Of universal
whiggory. We cannct lengthen this article by
giving the reader any further insight into the his
tory of the Nhg candidates hut shall, for the pres.
ent, conclude by remaTking that we ngree with our
neighbor Of the Republican, that "Bill JonNsoN
and his horse JoHN,' will sweep the State of Ohio
! like hurricane, that is accord ing to his own
definition of Il year ago, alerthe fashion OF "Gen.
TAYLOR and his horse Whitley" $50 mote be-

| o. PUBLIC DocUMESTs.--We have received
from Hon S. z. CHASE, of the United States Senate
a copy Of Doc No /. being the Presidents Mes
sages, and the accompanying reports. 1t is print
cd and bound under he late act ofCongress pro-
yiding for the public printing being executed in
improved style, md for its being bound in ha Il
bindiag, for better preservau uon. We think the
copy before us srcat improvement upon the print
ing of the last Congress, but there is, yet great
room for improvement. The public printing of
/ Ohio is executed in much better style than that
ofthe United States. and we don't know any rea-
son why such should be the case, unes1it be tn at
Ohio has the libcrality topNy her printers souie-
thing like living price fo their worG, and the
United Sates is so poor that its printing must be
hucksered about in the hope Of saving few
cents, and let to irreprcsaibe persons who cannot
afford to fulfil their contracts, and whose circum-
stances are such that they cannot be compelled
to fulfil them.
