Lady Fullerton ranks among the very first

the fair authoress makes her undergo with
patience aod moral heroism, su,h as, unfor

only, can hardly fail to strike sympathizing
chords in the breasts of all generous readers

GOV. ANDREW JoHNsON's SPEECH. DEMOCRACY
AND SLAVERY.


We copy from the Nashville Tennessee Union speech
made at the convention by Governor John
son. OF Tennessee which will be found be highly inter
estng. Governor Johnson aludes to the point con-
stanty made by the aboonsts that the existence of the
Institution of slavery is with true democracy His
reply to this standing position Of nacsm is marked by
srong and original views and his reuaon of the charge
against the consistency Of democracy is complete Few
possess minds better adapted TO the analysis of alb
stract questions than Governor Johnson and he shows
clearly in this speech that he has studied carefully and
analysed philosophicay the peexng subject of labor
connected with serytude 1t is for regret that
Governor johnson had not prepared himself to discuss
thoroughly this interesting subject; bat that
the suggestions made will have the effect of exciting further
investigation by others We would be surprised if
the views thrown out by Governor Johnson suggested
some philosophic mind the Importance of thorough in
vestgaon of the difference between bought and hired
labor and should be surprised either If the result
of such investigation should demonstrate the truth that
the laboring of the North have real interest for
sympathzng with abolitionism But without further
marks commend Governor Johnsons remarks to the
attention Of our readers.
