Richard M. Johnson's Bust and Religious Liberty Reports
A BUST of Richard M. Johnson, once vice president of the United States, is soon to be placed in the Senate chamber. It was Johnson who is believed to have killed the famous Indian leader, Tecumseh. This as an item of news from a New York paper. We would just add that the same Richard M. Johnson is credited with framing two of the noblest documents on the subject of religious liberty since 1776. One was a report to the Senate of the United States in 1829, and the other to the House of Representatives in 1830. Both came over the question of a legal Sunday. These above everything else ought to perpetuate his memory.
