acines we have misconstrued his remarks,
aud feels aggrieved thereat, Mr.. J. Is at
perfect liberty to refute the charges made
against him, over his own signature,
through the columns Of this paper. The.
fact is, friend JOHNSTON becomes ex-
tremely excited when speaking to Demo
cratic Clubs, and talks about snakes, and
niggcrs, and Abolitionists, and lumbermen
from the New England States, and
monstrosities in general, TO such an extent
that he may not possibly remember exact
ly what he does say. If our recollection
of his wipe at the de-Awakts serves us
aright-and we think it 0oes-that cir
cumstance was about as follows MIR. j. ),
in the course of his speech, and as usual,
became jocular, aud remarked that HAIR

chair in 40, while LINCOLN was lighted
into it iu 80 by the Wide-A wakes, with

of uniform he ever knew them to be gull

exact words, but they are the pith aud.
essence Does not Sir. j remember this
delicate little mot OF his no,c !? The
speaker had great deal to say about
Rhode Island, that .diminutive little State
which is only about large enough for
decent-sized garden, and around the
circumference of which patient was ONCE

by way of exercise, before breakfast yet
a State equally represented iu the Senate
Of the United States with the great and
fourishing State of Pennsylvania. But
he forgot to. tell his audience that this
white population than the slaveholding
States of Delaware and Florida tax en-
together! While talking about the
State Of Massachusetts, Mr.J. also forgot
to mention the fact that she has a white
population larger than that of the slave
holding States of Florida, Delaware,
South Carolina, Arkansas, Mississippi,
and Louisiana taken collectively! Mr.
J. certainly iterated and reiterated the
statement that Pennsylvania is larger
than the entire New England States

JOHNSTON further in his meandetings.-
One thing, however: He observed that
BARKER might bark and bark until he
got tired /; fer has part, he reserved the
right to bite occasionally, should he see
fit. So se-and, as we entertain no amsi-
ton of dying just at present speaking, we
will tread lightly in the future. for the

The opinions and estimates of this gentle
man are of so little worth or moral bear
ing that we almost refrain from burdening
our space with them at all. OF course he
denounced the Conscription Law as un-
constitutional counseied Resistance there
unto even to the death maligned the
Administration condemned the war and
made an ass. Of himself generally. We
see that he delivered a similar speech at
Johnstswn the other evening, and was
cloudy oheered." Is this fact Is
this the appreciation of Johnstown au-
dience? We think not For the credit.
of the boastcd intelligence of this nine
teenth century, we hope not. The cheers,
if given, must certainly have been inten-
ded as compliment to the 'rave and
roar style of expression in which he in
variably indulges-
':He looks with such look, you Know,
