Col. R. M. Johnson

This distinguished person is perambulating the New England States, and is received with military honors, public addresses, bands of misses dressed in uniform, strewing green leaves in his way, &c. &c. It is said the Colonel is greatly delighted with these demonstrations of popular respect. What has he done to deserve them? He has killed Tecumseh; and has shown himself superior to the vulgar prejudices against color. Besides, he is a slave-holder, and lives by plundering men and women of their daily earnings. Are not these qaulifications sufficient to make a hero of him? The Colonel is said to have a nomination to the Presidency in view in his tour. "W. C." and "Yorick" have written us respecting Rev. Mr. West's positions. As those points have been discussed in the Signa], at considerable length, we have concluded not to publish their articles.
