Petition in favor of hero of the Thousand Islands
A circulated petition to the President urges clemency for Wa. Johnson, imprisoned in Albany for assisting fellow countrymen to freedom, arguing age infirmities and wartime services merit pardon. The document contrasts with British military fortifications in Canada and cites Gen. Scott’s report on northern defenses and recent border fortifications and stations in Upper Canada and Maine.
