Fifteen yeats ago there was no man in
Pennsylvania whose leadership the party
opposed to Democracy would have so
willingly and so devotedly followed as
VIM, +. Johnston He was our first Ex.
ecutive of modern times who sought to
impress thepeople an d policy ofthe State
with the genius of Freedom, and he sacri-
feed himself in 1851 by his fidelity to
bis convictions. He then filed the full
measure of his great manhood, aud with
stood the efforts of the second accidental
President (Fillmore) to make the nation
forget its sacred mission for the elevation
of the human race. He retired though
defeated, still more beloved and revered
than was his successful competitor, who
had climbed into the chief magistracy Of
the State by discardiug his own record,
and prOstitutipg himself to the insolence
of Slavery.


But ambition saHetimes toys with the
mightiest minds and drags them down to
founder in pitiable inbecility. Such is
the history af Wu. F. Johnston. OF all
others, he should have been faithful; but
he could not wait the fullness of time for
the people to vindicatc him, and he war
red with fate. Had he bowed to the
Storm Of prejudice that swept him down
for time and calmly awaited the noon
tide of the dawning day, there is no po-
sition in the government that he might
not hare attained. But his follies t9ger-
ed side by side with his great ability,
and he became the play-thing of little men
and at last the least Of little men himself.

the Vice Presidency, and held it as his
stock in trade 10 barter for position and
power. Finding no contracting parties
