AndreM .lohnson ON Slavery.

Doubts bave been expressed in certain
quarters as to the position of Andrew
johnson on the question of enancipa-
ton, it being believed by some friends of
the Government that he objected to the
policy of the Administration. Such doubt
must now cease forever. 1t will be seen
from the following, which we copy from
the Nashville Union, that he is in favor
of immediate emancipation, if it is prac-
ticable; if not, for gradual emancipation.
By this noble and timely utterance, Ten
nessee is placed along side of Missouri,
4 as destined soon to become a free State.
GOV JoHNsoNs SPEECH SATURDAY NIGHT.
In the course of his remarks to the
large impromptu outpouring of the loyal
citizens which assembled on Saturday
night at the Capitol, to rejoice over the
fall of Fort Sumter, Gov. johnson SAID
that the heart of the masses of the peo
pie beat strongly for freedom. that tbs
system of negro slavery had proved
baneful to the nation by arraying itsel
against the institutions and interests o
the people; and that the time had clearl.

ham IS only true in so far as his first one
is false. Of course all loyal Southerners
are not only ready to discuss the ques-

But when Mr.. Vallandigham states that
the leaders of this rebellion unanimously
express their willingness to discuss the
question of return to the Union, he
either entirely forgets his conversations
with rebels or recklessly States a false
hood. eA t
In full and frank conversation be-
tween himself and Gov. Harris (rebel
Governor of Tennessee) the latter, after
hearing Mr.. Vallandigham' statement
OF his own opinions and policy, said in
the presence of many witnesses: % You

come when means should be devised for
its total eradication from Tennessee.
/ Slavery was1a cancer on our society. and
the saalpel of the statesman should be
used not simply to pare away the exte-
rior and leave the roots to propagate the
disease anew, but.to remove it altogeth-
er. Let us destroy the cause of the do
mestic dissensions and this bloody civil
war. 1t is neither wise nor just to COM
promise with an evil so gigantic. He
avowed himself funequivocaily for the re-
moval of slavery; the sooner it can be
effected the better. Some inconvenience
might, most likely, would, follow Tempo
rarily, but these would be more than
compensated, by the grand impulse given
te all our interests by the substitution of
free for slave labor. He was for imme-
date emancipation, if he could get it;
II this could not be obtained he was for
gradual emancipation; but enancipa-
ton at all events. He thought that the
benefit of gradual emancipation was a
good deal like the benefits conferred on
the dog in the fable, whose tail was cut
OFT an inch at time by humane sur
geon, whose kindness of heart would not
permit him to remove it at one stroke.

He invoked the people to cast off the
slavish fear which had hitherto sealed
their lips on this question, and speak and |
act henceforth as freemen should. The
slave aristocracy had long held its foot
upon their necks and exacted heavy |
tribute from them, even to robbing them
OF free speech. Let the era of freedom
be henceforth proclaimed to the non
shareholders of Tennesseel
The spe@ch of the Governor, of which
the above is, of course, very imperfect
sketch, was enthusiastically applanded |
from time to time, by the very large
crowd assembled on the occasion,
