ANDY johnson in Exile.

Andrew johnson, Senator from Tennessee,
exiled from his constituency on account OF
h;s devotion to the Union, made stirring
sneech to the people of Newport, Kentucky,
on the I'd of September, from which we select
the following passages;

at the eligibility of representatives to that

John c. Breckenridge is eligible upon those
conditions, and have been told no. Now

amount of money named, yet the people OF

States, aud, thank God, was made welcome
there. Loud cheering.
We are fighting for our Government J Gov
ernment was.made for man, and not man for
government The old monarchal idea is just
the reverse, and so it will be under the Seces-
sion rule Its leaders commenced by vio-
lence and force, and by those means they
will sustain themselves. They have exclu-
ded the voice of the people; don't let them do
go with you in Kentucky. Don't let them
shut the doors of the legislature. [Cries of

am not particularly for the Administra-
ton, but if Mr.. Lincoln administers the laws
according to the Constitution, | will sustain
him so will you, my friends. If he does
not, impeach him, and hurl HIM from his
seat. But he has done well thus far. What
power had he when he assumed the reins of
Government? None. Despotism was out,
and its march was from the South Traitors
cry out about Lincoln's war. Lincoln's war,
forsoothl Who brought it on? Answer me
that. Why, the South, and let her take the
consequences Let US see. Fort Sumter was
garrsoned by 60 or 70 men under Buchanan,
and Beauregard erected his batteries opposite
its walls, but could not wait few days until
the inmates would be starved out. So he
played his artillery upon that little band Of
brave men and made them surrender. This
Is a fair sample of the whole course Of Seces-
sion.
But where are their boasts of taking the
capitol by certain date now long past, and
all the other threats made the-eabout? What
have they done? Proclaimed war Now
whose war is it-Lincoln's? Cries of Nor
The Sccessionist's object now is to keep uI
excitement, by which alone they can carry
their point, which if carried, rule with The
iron rod will follow But let US fight for the
Government we have, and not be betrayed
or dsluded into advocating for moment one

Oh let US, my countrymen, fight for tha
Government founded and cemented by tn,

Talk has been made about compromise
But there is no sincerity in these takers

traitors armed with cannon pointed at you

Never

crew Of traitors. They are worse traitor,
and more corrupt than was the Roman Sen
ate with Cataline at its head. Disappointed
ambition, like canker, has knawed at theil
hearts, in which there is only bitterness anc
hate left to dictate their actions. They are
bogus aristocracy, and could not brook the
elevation of a man to the Presidential chail
because he rose from the ranks of the people
They c, uld not wait four years, when in du.
course of things they might have taken thei
chance of power, but they made the election
of Mr.. Lincoln mere excuse for their trea
son, and if they should succeed, militar,
despotism will inevitably take the place o
this free, liberal and most glorious govern
ment. If this republic falls, it can never b.
succeeded by another, nor can an exampl
be found in history to controvert my state
ment.

Let me ask you again, to be again assured
are you kentuckians willing to see the grave
of Washington and jackson and your owl
beloved Clay surrounded by accursed Seces

brothers, and fathers and lovers, to fight th'
