ator Rodgers He has been more than thirty wears
practising lawyer and this is not the first time he
has been elected to the State Senate A President
of the late State Convention which was composed
of 800 members and sat for six days, he made con-
siderable character from the fact that he presided
with ability, impartiality, and promptness, giving
very general satisfaction to the members On these
accounts and as compliment to the loyalty of East
Tennessee, Col. Rogers is generally agreed upon as
the Speaker Of the next Senate. Indeed he will
have no opposition, and ought to have none.

Gov. johnson In Cincinnati,

The Cincinnati Gazette reports the speech OF Gov.
johnson on his way to Washington The brass
band and the multitude called him out in frontof the
Burnett House. He made the following hitsat Ken
lucky loyalty
On the subject of loyalty, he said it was a very
different thing to be loyal man here to what it was
in Tennessee. 1t was dangerous there to profess
loyalty us it was here to be anything else He had
q poor opinion of Kentucky loyalty. In his opin-
ion it extended no further than the sale of their
mules and cattle and while Tennessee had, on the
recent birthday of the Father of his Country. out
ranked Kentucky by declaring in favor of freedom,
kentuctuns were trying to barter for freedom on
the same principle that they sold their mules and
asses. They demand thirty-siN million. of dollars
before they would accept the boon.
