Edward Johnson

[Died], in Baltimore on the 18th ult. Edward Johnson esq. in the 62d year of his age -- one of the most benevolent men that ever lived -- remarkable for his fidelity to his friends, though kind unto all men. He filled the office of a delegate to the general assembly, was twice or thrice an elector of our senate, and as often an elector of president or vice president of the United States, and six or seven times chosen mayor of the city -- the duties of all which he performed much to the satisfaction of the people and without the suspicion of one improper motive.
