been delivered by speaker present, and the
President requested the Secretaryto pass
around the pledge for eignaanEss, end taking

to the Secretary for that purpose. A hfge
number of names were enrolled Of both lAdies

while passing around the paper, that consid

who toei ~ prVsaution TO yssa ths con>snfa
Of she paper, Whilst those Who did not read It
and desired to sign, did SO. After going

he had passed around and received sigma

HON. CAVE JOHNSON.

1t is gratifying TO the true friends Of the
Union and Of constitutional government to
see the old men of the country rising up in
the midst Of the prevailing passions of the
present. and, at great personal sacrifices
lending the weight Of their names and their
active influence 10 sustain and uphold and
perpetuate the principles Of republican lib
erty. In this county. the long time bosom
friend and companion Of Jackson, though
borne down by the weight of years, throws
himself into the breach and is willing to ter
inmate his life in the most useful and impor-
tant of its public labors. The county of
Montgomery selects another of the marked
men of other days upon whose locks the
winter Of years has long since cast its SHOWS,
as the man of moderation and wisdom and
justice to represent the dignity, rights and
good intentions of the people whose most
precious privileges are threatened. The
venerable CAVE JOHNSON, whohas spent the
best years of his life in the State and
ndiiolldl CoullCllS anu III tue EAoCu-
tive Cabinet, consents to leave the grateful
repose of retirement, and make one more
effort to defend and protect the institutions
under which he was born, and which he has
contributed so much to develop. One of
the purest and most unselfsh men that ever
mingled in the partizan strife Of the past, he
stands among his people as a father in Israel
pointing the way, amid dangers and Diff
culties and trials, to the land of peace, hap
piness and prosperity.
These men have passed that period of life
when ambition may be supposed TO influence
the conduct Of men, Their motives are at
least unassailable. Moved by a single and
spotless impulse of patriotism, they see the
dangers that environ the Constitution, and
are willing and ready to sacrifice their per-
sonal inclinations and ease to restore the
public administration to the ancient land
marks of constitutional liberty. The Hon.
CAVE JOHNSON has no opposition. He is
called upon and will come as the representa-
tive of the entire people Of his county. How
much better would it be if the same was the
case in this county, and with his compatriot
in age, experience and wisdom.

MAJOR LEWIS AND THE TWO PER
CENT. TAX.


1t is understood that the Radicals of this
city and county are making the two per cent
tax on merchandise lever for the election
of Judge BRIEN in the place so worthily
and acceptably filled by Major LEWIS. This
is broken reed. There was no man in the
Legislature who was more decidedly in IA
vor of the repeal or material reduction of
that tax than our veteran Representative.
No man was more active among the mem
bers in opposition to its continuance than he.
Satisfied that it is sapping the life-blood of
the mercantile interests, and that it is daily
working an injury to the people at large, he
is still for its repeal, and will not only vote,
but labor faithfully, as he has done, against
it.
/ II is a most weak and shallow invention
for the Radicals to present this issue to the
merchants and people at this late day. They
are the very men who imposed this burden
some and destructive tax and there has not
been one day since the organization of the
Legislature that they have not had il in their
power to repeal or modify it. They have
failed TO do either-and while they have
authorized the issuance of the bonds of the
State to meet its overdue obligations, this
tax has been demanded and paid. 1t is a
pertinent inquiry, what has gone with this
money? Instead of creating a false impress
sion by which to gain votes, and instead of
incorporating the position of Maj LEWIS,
the Radicals had better explain, why the
odious law has been permitted to remain on
the statute books? and what has been done
with the money collected under it? Let
these questions be answered before others are
asked

THE ASSASSINATION OF SECRETARY
SEWARD.

About four or five days ago a man named
Sterling King was arrested in the city and
lodged in thecounty jail on charge Of horse
stealing, and held to await requisition from
the Governor of Ohio. On Sunday last he
became little soft, opened his mind to an
other prisoner, and informed him that he
was one of the parties engaged in the at
tempted assassination of Secretary Seward.

Department during the absence of General
Palmer, was at once informed of the matter
and Immediately proceeded to the Jail,
where he had a long interview with King,
who again confessed that he was one of the
conspirators General Davis then tele-
graphed to Washington on the subject, and
we have not as yet learned if there have
been any instructions received relative to the
prisoner.
1t is believed that King, who is shrewd
vagabond and has been in both armies dur
ing the late war, has been arrested by the
Confederate authorities and tried as a spy,
and who served n sentence with ball and
chain in tie Newport Barracks for swind-
ling the United States Government, is now
giving out this information in order that he
may get into the hands of the mi itary au-
thorities. whom he knows cannot make a
case against him, and by so doing he will
get out of this horse stealing difficulty He
is indicted in Cincinnati on two charges of
horse stealing, and it is reported that several
other charges are ready to be brought against
him.
His home has not yet been ascertained,
although he has been in the hands Of our
police for over a week.-LOuisUiiie Courier.
