From the Western Union Democrat


COL. JOHNSON.
He battled for his country dear
His altar and his home: "
He fought Oppression in the feld'
And I'M the PRISONS gloom =
He hung upon the dungeons night,
The indignant star of Freedoms light
Mothers and children twine wreath


Immortal for his brow,
And, set with jewels of the Heart
Itbinds his forehead now;
More lasting than the starry crowns
That spans the dusky even round


Eternal on his countrys dome,


Is HIS beloved name,
Who battled for her liberty,
Her honor and her fame :
But set star, in Times dark night,
OF Immortality and light.
Liberty circled with the gloom


Of Slavery's starless nighti
Will hang his name, the beacon-fre =.
Of liberty and light -
And write it with the tints of morn,
IJnon the brow of Freedoms storm
Green be his country's laurels proud,
That shade his glorious name;
And bright the glrlands that entwIne


His glory and his fame
Nav his eternal name still shine,
star, amid the blight Of time
