Judge Johnston at CIeveIand-aIs speeel

Judge Johnston ut CIeyeIand-Hls Speech
The Wing nominee tor Governor
spent most Of last week in this city
visiting with old friends, forming new
acquaintances, and mingling freely
with the people. Like the honest
old patriot at the national helm, the
better he is known the better he is
liked; and we venture that no man
in the State has the happy faculty of
making more friends or faster friends,
whether in social lie or on the politi-
cal stump, than William Johnston,
of Yellow Creek--strong minded
and sound minded-well formed and
well informed-plain spoken and ho-
nest spoken-he unites the rough
ness and kindness Of the early pio-
neer with the urbanity and world
wide philanthropy of the truly good
and useful citizen. Sprung from the
people, his thoughts, his sympathies,
his aspirations are with the toiling
masses. When they know him as
his old friends know him-and he
will, if blessed with health, devote
the whole season TO forming their
acquaintance-the people will vote
for him.
Judge Johnston addressed his fel-
low citizens Saturday afternoon in
this city, and maie most favorable
impression on all his hearers. The
address was well received by all po-
litical parties. Il was able, frank and
CONVINCING speech which we wish
could reach the ear of every freeman
in Ohio. On the vexed question of
free and slave territory he had no
concealments, no evasions; and we
take pleasure in presenting the pub
lie with correctly revised report of
that portion OF his able addSess. On
being introduced to the assembly, |
Judge Johnston said:
81 left home in feeble health, and |
having made a pleasant tour among
my old friends in Eastern Ohio, came
here few days ago in fine health
and better spirits. / visited the
Queen city of the North, as | used
10 visit my lady love when / was
young. without note of preparation,
to see her en- dishabille and learn her
domestic habits. Here | found her
in youthful loveliness at her toilet,
with busy fingers repairing her beau
ty and improving her charms, and
shyly but proudly displaying her
queenly majesty in the broad, clear
and beautiful mirror Of the Lake.
After few days rest and recrea-
tion, and very pleasant visit 10 the
ho5pitable mansion of my old friend
Judge Wood on Rocky River, |
come now to try whether | cani
launch my slender barquein in the trou-
bled waters of the North without
breaking her keel.
This is an experiment which in
view of the great agitation on the
question of slavery, was advised
not TO try the experiment. il had
relied on rumors in the South.
should have believed that all the
beautiful green meadows ofthe Re-
serve were Serbonian bogs, ready to
swallow me up-that your friendly
doors thrown open TO receive me
were pitfalls prepared for my destruc-
tion-that your hespitable tables
spread out before me were underlaid
with gins for my feet-and that at
every corner should meet some
body with catechism in hand, ready

Seduction and Suicide.-A young
girl 81 years Of age, named Lavini
Cook, committed suicide at Cleve-
land, Ohio. by taking oxalic acid on
the 24th ult. Ii appears from the
testimony adduced before the coro-
ner's inquest that she had been se-
duced by a Mr.. CowIes, who had
kept her for two years,as she averred,
under a promise Of marriages This
he denied, and on the fatal day wrote
her letter enclosing $40, the pur-
port of which was that he had heard
from various sources that she had
claimed an engagement between
them, and promise OF marriage-that
she knew this could never be, that all
correspondence between them, and
all idea Of marriage, must cease i'm
mediately. On receiving this letter,
Miss Cook wrote him an answer
him 10 come and see her
for the last time. She said she
would wait FOR him till 10 O'Clock
but he not coming at that time, she
was found dead at IL. The coroner's
jury returned a verdict OF death by
taking oxalic acid.

A GREAT FALL.-While passing
the Bienville street Engine House,
yesterday, we observed some men
engaged in elevating a negro boy to
the top of flagstaff for the pur-
pose Of making some repairs. When
the boy was raised as high as the
cross-trees, (about rs ieeO the rope
broke,and the negro fell TO the earth.
To the surprise ofevery one,the appli-
cation of a little water brought the
negro to his speech and senses, and
he complained Of no injuries, save a
slight cut on his head and broken
wrist. Sambo must be one of those
who are hard to KILN. o. Della.
