COLONEL R. M. JOHNSON.
Though not a declared candidate, was run by some of his friends for United States Senator from Kentucky, at the late election in that state. He had 55 votes, and another candidate, William Logan, 67--the latter is consequently elected. It is said that Col. Johnson's friends propose him as a candidate for governor, at the ensuing election. We should be sorry to see such talents and patriotism confined to the concerns of a single state. Over and above this gentleman's acknowledged talents, we believe that for soundness of principle, elevation of sentiment, invincible integrity and persevering industry, no man living is superior to Col. Johnson.
