The Democratic Candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, Coy. Herschell v. Johnson of Geor-


Governor johnson, the associate of Judge
Douglas on the ticket, is an excellent man,
every way worthy the support of the Democra-
cy. He was one of the first advocates in the
South of the non-intervention and Popular
Sovereignty doctrine-took a leading part in
his State in sustaining the action of the Charles
ton Convention in reafirming the Cincinnati
Platform, and on every occasion has been a
faithful friend and defender of Judge Doug
las. As a politician he is one of the most tai
ented and popular in the South. He has
twice been elected Governor of Georgia, and
at the Cincinnati Convention received the high
est number of votes on first ballot for Vice
President. His age is 4s years. He is an
eminent lawyer-has been Judge of the Court
member of the Legislature and United
States Senator, and now the people will place
him in the second position Of the nation
He has the confidence, in an eminent degree,
of the Southern Democracy, and his nomina-
ton will give strength to the ticket in that Sec
ton.

o. s. Attorney for Utah.

We understand that THOMAS j. KEHNY, OF
Ashland, in this State, has been appointed
District Attorney for the Territory of Utah,
and that he will accept the position thus ten.
dered him by the President.
Mr.. KENNY, for a young man, ranks de-
servedly high in his profession, and will be
found to- have the nerve and the Judgment to
do his whole duty. Our acquaintance with
Mr.. KENNY has been long and intimate, and
we know of no man better calculated to fill the
arduous duties of United States Attorney for
Utah than the gentleman thus selected.
Besides being an able lawyer, Mr.. KENNY
is one of the best Democrats within our knowl-
edge, and although we may regard his depar-
ture from Ohio at a time when her Democracy
needs just such men, yet we cannot but feel
glad that his merits have been appreciated by
the Government in rendering him the appoint
ment.-National Democrat. E.
sea- We take great pleasure in adding to
the above our hearty endorsement. The pro-
fession here, which Mr.. KENNY has adorned,
and the democratic party, which he has so eff
fciently served, will part with Mr.. K. with
much regret. Such appointments reflect hon
or to Mr.. BUcHANAN's Administration-and
with colleagues in the judicial service to CO
operate with him efficiently, will afford a guar
antee of a faithful execution of the Federal
laws among that distant and rebello us people.
HA-The Ashland Times of last week attempts
to defend the Candidate of tho Chicago ftaii-
end" Convention against the charge of having
been the clerk and proprietor of a shop for re-
failing "forty rod" whiskey. The following
is the defense: So
DID LINCOLN TEND BAR THE Menard
county CIll.) Aris, a Democratic paper pub
lished at the place where Lincoln was said to
have tended bar, says:
"Mr. Lincoln came to this county with a
Mr.. Orfut and was engaged with him as a
clerk in a store, and afterwards became the
purchaser of the establishment in company
with a man named William Berry, who is now
dead. w. G.. Greene, at present a citizen of
this county, was their endorser for the pur-
chase of the goods. Berry was a man of disso-
lutte habits, and caused an early failure of the
village concern. The story of Mr.. Lincoln's
tclerking in a common dram shop is not alto
gether correct, as we are informed by old in
habitants, now residing in this place, and &C
q~uainted with the facts. As was customary
in those days, however, the merchants besides
the usual supply of notions, calico, groceries,
tobacco, &C., kept always on hand a barrel or
two of Monongehala or Old Rye, tto be sold
in quantities to suit the purchaser"
p He says it was customary" in those times
for merchants to keep a little whiskey &C.
Was it not also "customary" for those who
kept aohis6ey shops, to lay in a small amount
of dry goods, tobacco, fne-toothed combs &C.,
tfto be sold in quantities to snit the purchasers"
If so, qxere de hoe, which did Lincoln keep, a
store or a grocery?

- pa-The result of the census of 1850, which
was commenced all over the country on the LIST
-. aof June, has been yariously estimated, some
os E6apeople calculating that it Will show a popula-
-zsai ZION In the United States of 81, eOO, 1000, which
% sf probably too large a figure. The likelihood
is that the population of the country at the
- c-.Dresent time is about $4,000, 900, which will
show an increase of 10, 1000, 900 since 1850, or
about 81 per cent. We find that the average
y increase each decade since the year 1900, was
.osa IS lusr cent. varying from So tosz per cent.
Fl sfqB. ame ratio Of increase for the last decade
s6r wonld therefore make the population of the

The above is a portrait of David McCreary, Of
Napier township, who, on the 31st day of August,
1858, made affidavit before Justice Gorley that he
was treated for the cure of Cancer by three physi-
clans of Bedford County, and by DR.. Newton of the
Electic College in Cincinnati, for q period of near
ly eight months, Notwithstanding which, his Up, nose,
and a portion of his left cheek Dere entirely eaten aaeGy!
He had given up all hope, when he heard of the
"Blood Searcher,' and was induced to try it. Four
bottles cured him., and although sadly disfgured,
there is no question but what this invaluable medi-
cine saved his life. The full particulars of this re-
markable case may be seen in a circular, which can
be had of any of the agents.

its worst form.
To the case of George Meisel, residing in Carroll

his case was worse, if possible, than McCreary's.
