Speech of Andrew johnson.


The speech made by Andrew johnson
the candidate for vice president, at the
ratification meeting at Nashville, was
straightforward, bold and stirring, as Mr..
Johnson's manner is. He specially ex-
pressed his contempt OF the slaveholding
aristocracy and the northern hunkeys
who pay court to it. He said
am a democrat 10 the strctest mean
ing of the term. | am for this govern
ment because it is Gemocratic-a govern
ment of the people. | am for putting
down this rebellion, because it is war
against democracy. He who stands off,
stirring up discomfort in this state and
higgling about negroes, is practically in
the rebel camp and encourages treason.
He who in Indiana or Ohio makes war
upon the government out of regard to
slavery and that is just as bad. The
salvation of the country is now the only
business which concerns the patriot.
Slavery is dead, and you must pardon
me if do not mourn over its dead body
you can bury it out of sight. In restor'
ing the state leave out that disturbing
and dangerous element, and use only
those parts of the machinery which will
move in harmony. Now, in regard TO
emancipation, | want to say to the blacks
that liberty means liberty to work and
enjoy the fruits of our labor. ldleness
Is not freedom. | desire that all men
shall have a fair start and an equal
chance in the race of life, and let him
succeed who has the most merit. This,
| think, is a principle of heaven. am
for emancipation for two reasons first,
because it is right in itself, and second,
because in the emancipation of the slaves
we break down an odious and dangerous
aristocracy. | think that we are free
ing more whites than blacks in Tennes-
see.
Gov. johnson said he had no impas-
stoned appeal to make to the people in
his own behalf. He had not sought the
position assigned him by the national
Not a man in the land can
rutbfully say that | have asked him toI

RADICAL CoPPERHEADIsM.-Thi.
epithet may seem ungracious, but it i,
eminently just and fitting. We have moi
seen in any democratic copperhead paper
a passage more false and malicious than
the following, from the New Nation. the
Fremont organ in New York, whic b
abuses Grant quite as ferociously as il
does the president -
"if Grant does not take Richmond bv
the 4th Of July, it is clear that the admin.
is'raIion, with guilty design, has abused
the credulity Of the people, and hat
Grant, through stupidity or malice, has
been the accomplish of a disloyal ma
newer with the aim of assuming the su.
Preme command of the army, and of pro.
curing in exchange Lincoln's reelection
in this case good sense and the Loyalty
OF an indignant people will dispose of two
guilty persons, in spite of the gold o f
and executive patronage"

COMPULSORY EDucAT1oS.-In looking over
the draught of the proposed amendments to the
school law. we find two or three sections which
look as though the authors of the bill were in
earnest to prevent future rebellion by thorough
education" The first, in response to the petit
tons which are daily pouring into the Legislature
from all parts of the state provides for the levy
of direct state school tax Of five cents on the
500; the next is, that each county shall annual
ly raise u school fund equal to 81 for each minor
between four and eighteen years of age within
the limits of such county the next is, that each
district SHALL If its share of State and county mo-
ney is not sufficient for the purpose, raise enough
in addition thereto to make the whole sufficient
to keep q school open five months in each year;
and that each public school shall be kept open at
least five months in the year. Another clause
provides that each parent, guardian, master or
other person. having the care, custody, or control
Of any child between eight and fourteen years Of
age, shall be guilty of. and punished for, niisde-
uic.rnor If such childdo not attend either pub
lie or private school at least three months in the
year. or be taught at home for at least six months
in the year, all the branches taught in mixed
public school; this clause has numerous excep-
tons for sickness, distance, ete.-Sac. Bee.

The ERA OF CONFEDERATE DESERTERS.-The
historian who writes mp the Collapse Of the Con.
federacy will probably speak of this as the Era Of
desertions. President Liucoln's Amnesty Procla-
nation had scarcely time to penetrate the ercmy's
lines before assertions began TO be reported. Eve
~ day adds to their number. DesertiOns from
Lee desertions from Longstrect, Fort Morgan
hosting the flag of the Union in open revolt, de-
sertions everywhere that there is IN enemy with
Union force ut hand to desert to- The rank and
file evidently opine that the jeff. Davis ship is
sinking and with the instinct for which even rats
are famous flee for their lives. Couple with these
facts the doleful leaders of the rebel papers and
one cannot resist the conviction that the end real

CEREAL DIscovERIEs--A correspondent
of the San Francisco BaillettR states that ma
tive rye md barley have been discovered in

why: There is coarse bunch grass in Ne
vada Territory which often grows tail and
rank, bearing a grainless gim'e. From
mere fancied resemblance it has been various

WHY CHARLESTON Is NOT TAKEN.-Speakins
of the Navy Department reminds me, says the
Washington correspondent Of the Sacramento
Union, that Charleston has not yet been taken,
and that the Navy Department now holds the
only key to the only solution Of the difficulty.
When Gilmore consummnted his plan for the re-
duction of the city it was part OF the plnl that
troops should be landed after vigorous bombar't.
meut from Wagner and the swamp Angel,
protected in running past the rebel forts still in.
tact BY the Monitors, and while Il portion OF the
feet should engage the forts, another part should
pass or remove the distractions. AT that time
there were nine ironrlads at the command of Al.
miral Dahlgrcn, but since that time we have lost
two thus reducing the feet to seven, which Dahl
grru declares to be insufficient for the planned at
tack Gilmore, it is privately understood, consid.
ers the feet before Charleston strong enough, but
of course nothing Of that sort is officially known
here. Dlh!Grea has notified the Navy Depart
mcnt that he must have two more irOnc!ads be-
fore the reduction of Charleston can be attempt
ed: but owing to the strikes which took place in
the Northern cities about two months ago, the
completion of the ironclads in hand has been ma
tc-ially retarded. Before many weeks shall have
passed, however, Dahlgren will have all Of the
force he asks for, aud then Charleston will be
taken. There is no question about that.

A REBEL ISCIDEST.-The Hartford (Ct)
Cour.lnt, in an article on the war; tells the follow
ing auecdote-wekuow not upon what authority:
Scene: Jeff Davis parlor at Washington, short
ly before the arch traitor left to consummate his
Infamous crime. Present. Davis, Mrs. Davis, and
a lady from New York, whom WE will call Mrs.
A. A conversation ensued between the Indies
relative to public affairs, and the demand from
South Carolina for the surrender to the State at-
thorities of the United States fort Sumter. Mrs.
\ asked what they would do if the Govern
ment refused to give up the Fort. Mrs. Davis
replied. AVE will fire on it the fort belongs to
South Carolina and shc vii. have it, let the consc
quenceS be Us they may" Mrs. A., in aStoniShment,
remarked, "What, fire on Sumter! IRE on the
United states hagr' Yes SAYS Mrs. Davis, I'VE
win TIRE on sumter. aud the flag which waves over
il must come down." Mrs A., amazed ut the
spoken treason of Mrs Davis, again said, Fire on
the flag! shoot down the flag Of our country !!
What do You suppose will be- the effect in New
York city ~ "The effect in New York city says
Mrs Davis, twill be that ten thousand strong arms
will ut once rally in that city to the support Of the
South" Mrs 4, more and more aStonished turned
to Davis who hal taken no part in the converse.
ton, aud asked him If he had not word of
rebukc for such language. Davis replied by say.
ing that his wife was mistaken relative TO the cf-
feet in New York city of firing on umtcr; that
not ten thousand, but twenty thousand men of
that city would rally to the standard Of the
south.
