Co., Richard M. Johnson.--The Bay State Democrat thus speaks of the contem- plated visit Of the hero of the Thames to the Eastern States

 "We anticipate that there will be gene ral manifestation here in his honor; that something of the hearty demonstrations with which a Lafayette and Jackson were re- ceived in this community, will be exhibited towards the hero of the Thames. And 1t is right that it should be so, for the gallant Colonel is an American; one who has al- ways stood by his country in war and in peace, and generously devoted his best en- ergies to her honor and welfare He is, moreover, an open and fearless champion of popular liberty, whose sympathies with hu- manity are broad and deep, and his public career has ever been marked by conduct that stamps him an honest and consistent statesman and a true patriot

 sHis distinguished services in the last war have never been acknowledged by the empty title of General conferred upon him in time of peace, and he still rejoices in the noble appellation won by his gallant con- duct, and his strong arm in the midst of his country's foes-plain Colonel Johnson- He needs no prouder title than this to exalt him in the hearts of his countrymen. The memory of his youthful deeds-when thirty years ago he rushed from the halls of legis- lation into the midst of his neighbors and friends, and raised gallant band with which to assault the foe, his fearless conduct at the battle of the Thames, the staying of Tecum sch, the defeat of Proctor-is written upon the page of history, and enrolled in the hearts of his countrymen. Nor are his elo- quent services in the Congress of the United States, in defence of civil and religious liber- ty, in aid of the poor soldiers and their fami- lies, forgotten; nor yet his advocacy of the cause of liberty when struggling in Greece, in Poland, in South America, or, later still, in Ireland. From first to last, he has proved himself true American, and he is well de- serving of public honor.
