Andrew Johnson In. Tennessee-H,.
.ss Speech at NRshvIIIe.
NASHVILLE, March 10, 1862.
The first Union speeches made upon
Tennessee soil since last spring were de-
liVered last night, by Andrew johnson,
Emerson Etheridge and Horace Maynard,
during serenade by one of the army
bands. A large crowd had assembled in
front of the hotel to listen to the music
and the expected speeches Governor
johnson, III response to enthusiastic calls
for him, appeared on the balcony, md
.Hdeeply and truly appreciate this dc.
mOnstratiOn of respect and Confidence
am affected by the circumstances un-
dor which | return to you. which rem
ders me all the. more sensitive to, and
grateful for this testimony from my. fell
low citizens. l return to you with no
hostile purpose, with no new doctrine to
avow, no strange! teachings to inculcate.
For what do | come? l come with the
olive branch in one hand and the Con-
stitutiOn in the other to render YOU
whatever aid may be in my power, in re-
erecting, upon her rightful domain of
Tennessee, the. Star Spqngled Banner
that flag borne by him who was ''first in
war, first in peace, and first in tho hearts
of his countrymen;" borne by. him also,
whose sacred ashes repose almost within
the sound of Icy voice, and borne also by
many n thousand of our countrymen,
when the blood spouted from their heel,
and no covering sheltered them but the
stormy, pitiless cloud; to aid you in re-
esta blishing the supremacy of this flag,
so dear to your fathers and mine. / come
to aid you in the upholding and defend
ing of this the best Government that God
ever spoke into existence! have never
deserted that Government How could l?
The exiled-my wife driven hither and
thither, her servants stolen; my home
rebel hospital-how could desert the
glorious Government under which had
been so richly and abundantly blessed,
and under which so many of my fellow
beings have enjoyed, and do enjoy, so
bountitully the boon Of liberty and Sc
curity.H saa-.-1Isi tI.s " oSiy.iz5E
The Governor then passed to the in
quiry for what purpose is the war, and
pressed home with great zeal and force
the answer, for the maintenance of the
Constitution and Government He then

beeha pfactised upon the peoplefin the
canvass of 1860. He referred tohis town
speech here at that time in which he
contended in all sincerity that the Brecls-
inridge party was as much the party of
tho Union Us any other Bell, Breekin-
ridge and Dbnglas men were all taught
the doctrine of "the Union the Constitu-
tion, and the Enforcement of the laws. !"
Breckenridge deceived him. He was n
disunionistga rat the time His was q dis
union party. Notwithstanding all the
yieing with each other of these three par
ties for the palm of Unionism, every one
of their several leaders in this State have
become open rebels against the Govern
ment in the United States.
He then laid bare with scathing Sc
verify the real cause of the war against
disappointed ambition, and not slavery
by jackson. Look at the hyprocrite
Yapcey telling Great Britain now that
slavery was not the cause of the war;.
These men pretended that they were
protecting slavery by withdrawing from
the Union, while it was clear to every
candid mind that the only protection to
slavery was in the Constitution of the.
United States. Z, --,,r,,,.,,,,,t-,..
TennesseeRns, l have taken part in your
politics since 183s-have ! ever deceived
you? Is there q man within the-sound of
my voice, or man, woman, or child in the
State who. can say that he or she has been
deceived by Andrew johnson? Why all
this prosecutions against me and mine q
Why am exiled, driven from my home and
my hard earnings taken from me Simply
| becauseI adhere to my Government and
yours, my flag and your flag, the GOveru-
mentand the flag OF your fathers. Because
/ loved them too we'll. Because, having
been born and bred under them, have de-
termined 70 die under them.
An eloquent tribute was then, pata to
the United States Government as the Gov
ernment of the people by the people.
He painted in telling terms the track of
desolation that secession left. Bridges
crops, dwellings destroye d;brotherafrayed

torn nassunder; widows brokeu-hearted, and
orphans crying for bteSd!A All such scenes
as these are on the track of the Demons
