Mr.. LCakc in Shenandoah

Those who heard the discussion in
this place, between Messrs. Leake and
Campbell. will recollect that it turned
almost entirely upon the question Of Sc.
cession-Mr. Leake asserting the right
ola Stale to go out of the Union at pleas,
ure. without accountability to the remain
ing Ststes-in other words. without any
right on their part to prevent it-and Mr..
Campbell. maintaining a contrary doctrinc.
1t will not be doubted in Eastern Virgin
ia, we opine, that Mr.. Leake was opposed
to the measures Of Compromisc enacted by
the last Congress.
Upon these quest ions The Democrats Of
Western Virginia agree with the body of
tie Wing party in the Sou,h--in denying
the right ofsecession and assen,ingto the
Compromise. Knowing these facts, and

The Republican Of Thursday last re
publishes from this paper Of 4th August,
an article on 1.-THE Convention" which
had just then closed It's labors, in no very
good odor with the public. The article
was written before the new Constitutions had
made its appearance aud was general and
speculative in its character.
The Republican, with brief common
tary. promises 10 refer to it again. In Or

About the richest anecdote of the sea
son is one told by a friend Of ours, who
VOWS that he sped!l $ "the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the 'ruth'-in his
Instance
Travelling along the outskirts Of Har
rison, he found lodgings for the night in
one Of those primitive ahodes which have
nothing but the hospitality oftheir hosts to
commend them. Being somewhat high
minded, he was placed in the garnet, the
door to which was never made, when,
among other checks upon slumber, the fol-
lowing was not the least wakeiul.
Two other guests lodged below stairs
These as their talk plainly indicated. We're
regular built and out-and out democrats,
beyond mistake-;he elder, besides his de-
mocracy, having boastcd the commission
OF Justice of the Peace for some years, un-
der the present regime. The young man
seemed most enquiriug and laxative. as
well as widest awake, if we may Judge
from colloquy:
well, Squire said he "how's timesl
What's most stirring in these par,s?'

"What elecuon!'' inquired the young
'un. perhaps thinking it early for the State
canvass.
why, the lection for guv'nor. lclienent
guv'nor and eternal ginral," replied the
old 'un."
"Well, how 90 you and Your neighbors
go-all for Old Jo?'i
Yes. mighty allfor Kurnel Johnson, and

ton, and"
That's enough-that'll dol" exclaimed
the excited justlce-"darn me if | vote for
any man, who was in that cursed Conven-

At this positive declaration, the young
democrat held his peace. fearing 10 urset-
tie the old gents political preference) the
conversation ceased and our friend fell a
sleep-to dream how many magistrates
would vote against Summers because he

Sos' Johnson and ti.c T'ariT OF
1924,

Il GAVE MY VOTE FOR THE TARIFF"
The Richmond Times continues its bis
;orical revelations of the more pro,rac,ed
than brilliant or useful" career os the odd
Fashioned Democrat" after the following
manner.
In our rcccn, reference to Colonel John.
sons course in Congress on the Tariff bill
Of 1924. we showed by ci'itations from the
.sarnai Of Ike Honse Of Representatives.,
Z at he sustained that measure in oil stages
o,its progress, and stated thai it might fur
,her be demonstrated that. in respect to
Its detsils,hc uniformly supported the high
est protective du,ice. Into this part ofthe
history we propose now to look little
more miauteiy, in order that the render
may see what constituted ian old fashion
cd Democrat in 1924.
The bill which was styled n bill to a.
mend the several acts imposing duties on
imports. was reported to the House With
a,nendmrnfs. by the Committee of the
Whole. on the 9th Of April 1894. after
long consideration IA committee,

Col; Johuson and the Canal.

In The session Of ISIS, Col. Johs
son voted in the Legislature for Ia, INK
on tie table "a bill authorizing tic
States gnarantee to certain bonds of
the James River aud kanaw ha Com
pany." Whether he voted upon il after
wards. and how, is not recorded in tho
Journal. Tie knowledge ofthis fact vii!

river friends, IN behalf Of the Colonel.
Lynchburg Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1829-185?, 1851-11-24


During the last session that Col. John
son served in the Legislature. petition
was presented from citizens OF Smy,h
county, asking that Emory and Henry
College "may liYuidate the interest, upon
the loan frrm the literary fund. By edsea-
ting gyataifo1sty certain num6er of ind.
gent young men" Similar petitions were
presented from Citizens Of Tazewcll, Wash
ington, Montgomery and Haliiax.
Henry and Emory College is known
to be. from its location, the chcapnc.s !.
of its charges, and its reputation for disci-s
pine and scholarship, most meritorious
institution. 1t has struggled agains, many
difficulties and accomplished alargc amount
Of public good. 1t is not therefore to be
wondered at, that so general an interest
should have been manifested in the subject
Of these petitions. or that bill was repor
ted in accordance with them
Upon the question ofgran,ing the prayer
Of the petition, and thereby aifording the
means oil education TO those who could
not otherwise obtain it. JOSEPH Johnson
voted in the ncgatire.
AT another time during the session, he
voted against adding the fund now living
unemployed in the banks of the State.
which accrued to Virginia. under the dis
trlbu'ion Of the proceeds Of the public
lands, to the literary fund, and thus con,ri.
buting to the education ofthe poor children
| Of the State.
He also voted against an amendment TO
bill, reported the same session. appropri-
aung the sum Of $50 900, annually, to tie
support OF primary schools. The bill was
defeated, but the names Of those who voted
for and against are not recorded in the
Journal. We think it at least fair to in
fer,from the opposition which Col. Johnson
manifested to other schemes, for extending
the inestmable advantages Of education,to
those who unfortunately had no, the means
OF acquiring 1t. and from his vote upon tho
amendment, that he voted against the bin
itself. To aid the poor and enighten the
ignorant. whom it can be done consistently
with other duties, is among the hottest of
obligations, and the man who shows him
self wanting IN proper spirit in regard to
these thingsis not fit to preside over great
and generous commonwealth.

Col. Jiasoa himself roted for rery high dn'ies on
both Ten and Coffee when he voted for the Tariff
1T 1924. No proposition was then made in the
House to place Tea and Coffee in the list Of Free
Articles. Col johnson permitted these high duties
to pass without proposition TO abolish or reduce
them. His other prove that he WINS in favour
of the highest duties Of all that proposed
He voted against reducing the duties Sal from
30 to 10 cents per bushe and against the motion o,
John Randolph to reduce the dnty on BroreH Sugar
from to IL cents per pound.
The Breakfast table argument is not likely to
do the Colonel much service in this canvass"

I'VE have shown from the record that Colonel
