Sound Words from Governor johnson.
Gov. Andy johnson, Of Tennessee, made
powerful speech at Nashville on the 4th,
from which we extract the following, and
commend to our readers the contrast be-
tween his noble and manly utterances and
the nissrably shutting apologies for the
rebellion which were made at the Demo-
cratic Convention at Columbus on the
same day:
'Ihold that this Go7ernment is Of divine
birth, that it is a gift Of cod himself and
that neither Parson EBiott nor ParsOn
Sehon, nor Parson Howell, nor Armaged-
don, have right to break it up. Ipunish
these men, not because they are priests,
but because they are traitors, and enemies
Of society, law and oder. They haYepur-
sued and corrupted boys and silly women,
and inculcated rebellion, and now let them J
suffer the penalty. I received the other
day roqaesf to all0W some ham, Sl0eef pickle
and Other deIieacies 70 BE- carried 70 these peT-
sozs- r ssl5 ~ safslirasas ssEFuf
ies 10 ne, and I 1gould find persons good
deal more i0oTthy to reeeipe them than these
rebels I tgOuld gipe them to the suffering
sgidops ail9 oTpAGiss among Hs, whOse hlg-
bands and fathers Wsre deIuded By these men
into the rebel GTmy, and Hov I'LL a rebels
graUe, OF lie IN prison. (Shouts Of '!:Goodl
good that's rightr') If fdelicacies are to
be distributed, l think that these innocent
sufferers, the victims Of these corrupt rebel
priests, are a good deal more worthy OBJ
icots Of charity and compassion than the
deceivers themselves. Why should they
be feasted and honized, and their Wretched
victims be left 10 perish7 A whistle in
the rear Of the crowd I hear a whistle.
/ believe it is Goldsmith who says in his
Natural History, that there are only two
animals that hiss the viper, by reason Of
its venom, and the goose, for its simplici-
~. think the present instance is an eX-
ception, and the whistler is Gosling. Il
is some foolish creature instigated by 9TH
ers who are too cowardly 10 show them
selves. Let your masters show them
selves and / viii attend 70 them.
But why should these persons ask for
sympathy When did they eper ezpress
sympathy feT The loyal men rho lie IN thejGil
Of Ti9ealoosa, covered nth nth, and fed On
tdiatsd meatR Alas, to their agOnizing
cries no response is made but the clanking
Of their chains. These men who claim
special regard, have stolen the livery Of
Heaven to serve the devil in, but 1 am de-
termined that they shall feel the power Of
the government which they have sought TO
destroy Some professed to entertain
holy horror Of coercion. Why, force and
terror have coerced the South into her
present position, and nothing but force and
power will bring her back. You were Co
creed BY the violence and force Of seces-
sion, and the spirit Of secession must be
snbdued and controlled BY force. The
strong arm Of the Government must be
barred, and justice must do her work. We
may as well understand the fact first as
last and 90 to work nationally. Without
force and power to coerce we have no
Government.
How have matters gone on heretofore
Why, when the Union army came here,
the first to run TO il for protection and
privilege we're secessionists, who got pro-
misses Of protection if they would remain
neutral. On the other hand, the poor
Union men were terrified with threats Of
vengeance If the rebel army should return.
The secessionist was protected by the I'm
ion army, and was equally confident Of
protection should the rebel army return ;
so he felt perfectly easy. The Union man
dreaded utter ruin, shOulda reverse occur,
and was filed with perpetual alarm. So,
under this strange policy, the rebel had
tloo guarantees, and the Union man but
one. It is time this was stopped. IN.
time has arriUsd l0heH treason must be made
odious and traitors impoverished. Thesemen
have used their property to destroy the
q government, and FL the land with bank
ruptcy and distress; they have given their
wealth freely 10 aid rebellion and treason
and 6rench the land IN fraternal blood,
and crush out the last vestige Of liberty,
and their property should Be taken from then
70 ds'ray the expenses Of The l0ar. They arr
the guilty ones. They are the real cFimi
mails. The poor have been deluded ans
dragged into this war while the authors
and instigators who have kept up the wal
BY their money and contributions havt
skulked at home, and demanded the pro
lection Of the Federal Government"
