COL. JOHNSON’S LAST SUN
DAY MAIL REPORT.
The indefatigable and distinguish
| ed gentleman whose name is at tbe
j head of this article, is connected with
many interesting and important c
! vents in our country's history both in
j peace and war, and nppears destined
|to maintain his ltigli standing on
I whatever question he may be called
: upon to act. When tbe war ques
tion stirred the patriotism of tlie na-
I tion, we found him a chief spirit in
I imparting energy to it in ihe coun
} oils of the republic, and sustaining,
! with his best efforts, the measures
1 winch it called for. No sooner was
‘■ the question disposed of and the ban
’ of resist in2oo rawed ; f.',;iu i vcSLul
him rallying under it in the field,
leading onto battle and victory a
corps ofthe lovers offreedom."—'Flic
Thames will cease to flow before the
prowess he displayed on its borders
will he forgotten i and while history
lasts will his exploits,.in that bloody
scene, be gratefully remembered.
With all great questions ot the na
tion is Col. Johnson in some way or
other, identified. We never knew
him u to dodge or bolt—but with the
fearless culm w hich is characteristic
of noble minds, we have seen him
meet whatever his station called him
to meet, and sustain himself with a
power and energy which have always
made him to be felt and respected.
At one time we find him advocating
the war—at another, anti before the
ink was dry and recorded his note ou
that great, occasion we see him in the
field carrying it home to the enemy,
and freely pouring out his blood iu
proof of the sincerity of bis convicti
ons of its justice. Then again in the
councils of his country, ho raises his
voice as the advocate of the freedom
of the citizen from that barbarous
liability of imprisonment for debt
ami then we sec him devoting bis en
ergies in vindicating the freedom of
the mind, its exercise of its great
prerogative of thinking and acting
for itself in matters of religion-
Twice lias he mot the most im
posing. and powerful combination
that lias ever been entered into in
this country and twice has he success
fully and triumphantly sustained him
self and the doctrines of freedom;
and the rights of conscience.
The Sunday Mail question has:
been borne before the councils of
the nation with a front so impossing
as to appal any but the stoutest heart.
To meet it required a degree of mo
ral courage, which few men possess;
and to oppose it, an exertion of this
faculty which is really made or at
tempted. Col. Johnson, standing as
fie ditl as chairnniu of the committee,
first in the Senate, thenin the House
of Representatives, was destined to
combat with this appalling power—
He savy the approach of memorial
after memorial; he witnessed the un
rolling of yard after yard of the pa
per which contained tbe call ofu
! powerful body of citizens, but he
[New Series—No. 2.
stood firm. His mind, like the rock
in the ocean, was unmoved by tho
storm and fury of the billows, while
one upon another broke upon it and
recoiled in the deep. He beheld
this mighty star unmoved—and calm
ly meeting the subject, discussed its
merits, and having delivered his opi
nions lives to hear them applauded
by all who have not entered into the
plan of procuring legal enactments
for the binding men’s consciences.
Let us not be mistaken. We do not
believe those who have indulged in
this business of memorializing Con
gress, session after session, have done
so with any design to subvert any ono
principle of civil or religious obliga
tion. But we are among those who
suffer with them, and in this our
right Is equal to theirs.
We are willing to trust the subject
to the enlightened citizens of this en
lightened country and age, antUf w©
arc not mistakeh posterity will vie
with the men of the present genera
tion in honoring liini who had nerve*
and head, and heart enough, to
sist and overcome t(ic prayer of thft
petitioners.
Our intention is not to write eulo
gy ol J. If that were our de
sign, we would leave his public acts
to stand as the pillows of his public
greatness, and go into and dclincata
itis heart. In it we should find all
that can make man honored or be
loved. Who ever excelled hint in
noble and generous actions?—ln all
the relations of friend and neighbor?
Who goes about like him, find
ing out who has need; and then en
gages in laboring to relieve the nee
dy?—W ho of all the men in this
country is so plain in his manners,
affable in his intercourse with men,
or kinder? Whose heart swell*
quicker at a tale of woe and w hose
eye flashes so keenly, and terribly,-
when the innocent arc oppressed ?
This nation will yet do justice t
‘ I his noble spirited son of the W esfr
| Kentucky cannot be allowed to claim
I aim.—He is the son of tho Republic!
.nut alike iienr tti ‘every member of
this great confederacy.
Methodist Ministers and Politics .
Allow me to give circulation
through the National Gazette, to a
very wise and salutary suggestion,
which should be regarded as advico
to Ministers of all denominations. It
is this —Let them not be at all connec
ted with, nor concerned in the politics
of the country. This little note was
occasioned by tbe advice of the Rev.
Bishop Bedding, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, to the Philadel
phia Annual Conference, now in ses
sion in Ibis city. One of the mem
bers (which is a very rare case, had
taken some interest and manifested
some warmth, in a recent national
election, and thereby got into some
difficulty. When this case came up
before the Conference; nt the dost)
of it the Bishop said to the Confer
ence—“l advise you, brethern, nevr*
to be concerned in any way in the po
litics of the country: you have othej*
and better work to do, which wilj id
quire your time and talents. Be
sides it will bring you into difficulty,
lower your character as ministers an 4
lessen your influence, I never knew
it to result in any other way, and I
have known many cases.”

The negro woman, Civda, com ic*
ted in November last of Arson, was
executed on Friday the Oth instant
agreeable to the sentence passed on
her. The execution was deferred
thus long on account of her pregnan
cy. As it has been publicly slated
that she persisted to the last in ns*
setting her innocence ofthe crime for
which site suffered, it may he pro
per to state, for the purpose of jire
venting misapprehension on the sub
ject that her guilt had been fully de
veloped. Independently of other
conclusive evidence ofthe fact, she
and the other negro convicted as an
accomplice in the same offence, and
executed some time ago, were exa
mined separately, and made a full
coafessioij of their guilt; and the
circumstances minutely detailed by
each A without the possibility ofcon
trivaneb, corresponded so” dearly
and exactly in every particular, ns to
jdiicc the matter entirely beyond the
.possibility of a doubt, — Aug. (Jhroi*-
