COL. RICHARD M. JOHNSON.
The man whose name stands at the head
f this'aiticlo is now the Vice President of
the United States. Hu was placed there
by the imbought suffrages of the American
peopic in consideration of services rendered.
What those services are is Iresh in the
mind of every voter in Pennsylvania, and
out of it; In the field and in the cabinet
he has rendered the most substantial servi
ces to the people. Almost an half a ccniti-
rv ot Ins tile has been devoted in improv-
r.g the condition; and ameliorating the suf
ferings of mankind. There is but one indir
idual in the United Slates who has render
ed greater services lo his country on the
battle field than Richtlrd M. Johnson. That
man is Andiew Jackson : and where shall
we find the statesman who has rendered
mora important service to his couutty in
c councils ol the nation, than the present
ice President. Let the public journals of
the wholo nation for the last quarter of a
ceniurv answer tho question, .His public
ids arc identified with the great and beet
measures of ihe Republic ami his life is al
ready identified with the best historv of his
ouutrv. Who id it thou, I sk, Messrs.
Editors, hoping that the question may bit
mswered, who is it in Pennsylvania that
desires notlo sue Richard M. Johnson again
elevated to tho Vice Presidency. Go to
the voters of the commonwealth, enquire
their opinion ; go to the men who make
Vico Presidents, bv their sulliages. and en
quire their opinions, and yon will find but
one opinion ; Richard M. Johnson is their
man, ami none better. No man out of the
statu now in public life, has a stronger hold
upon the judgment and .atlection of tlic
people of Pcnnsylvailia, than Col. Johnson.
ublii: opinion is jtistlv being aroused on
the subject; there has been a newspaper

tailing public opinion ami preventing

Johiioosi for the Vice Presidency in 1810,

Col. Johnson is unquestionably the candi

every democrat lo tec the ' question as to

J he Cherokee Difficulties. A letter
from an United Slates ollicer at Fort Leav

published in the St. Louis Republican, which
at oncu tellies the fears which have been
entertained of a collision between the Uni

under the command of Col. S. W.' Kear

from n march from that post along tho Mis
souri Ironteir, into the Cherokee country,
as far as Foil Wayne, on the Illinois river,

Lacy, 'I must see him,' for I came to him

A
MAN BURIED IN A COAL-MINE.
CuMni:nt.AXD, Md. Dec. G, 1830.
The coal mine of Mr. Neff, near Frost
hurg, fell in yesterday. A miner, who was
at work nt the time, was ' enclosed by the
fallen earth. He immediately commenced
digging out and persons 'on tho out side al
so began tu'dig in toward him. The earth
to ho removed was thirty oi forty feet in
extent but the caving, as il afterwards ap
peared, did not extend so far is to prevent
the free working of tho miner. Of course,
the utmost anxiety was felt lor his fate,
which was increased by the earth again fal
ling in at the very moment he hail been
torched by those on tho outside ! The
earth now fell in nil around him, leaving
him hardly room to move, fortunately, how
ever, but little more than a foot of earth this
timo shut him in from tho da light, and
this was soon icmovcd. The accident oc
curred at about one o'oclock in the day, and
it was ten o'clock before the man was got
out. The desperate energy with which he
worked lo rescue himself 'may be inferred
from the fact that of thirty or forly feet of
earth to be removed, he, though working at
great disadvantage, dug through nearly one
half of it. He suffered no injury from the
accident. liullimore Patriot.
