2 Andrew Johasen, ID iitary Govsfnor OF
Tennessee, and candidate for The Vice Presi-
dency on the Abolition ticket, has invented
sn oath which ho prescribcs to voters
In the State afflicted with his rule and to
their earnest attention is directed with the
point of bsyonet. This oath contains the
following significant passage:
That will cordially oppose all armistices
or negotiations fnr peace with rebels IN arms
until the Const tuition Of the United Stasee,
and oil laws and procidn0tios made in pur-
sua'ee thereof, shall be este blshed over all
the people of every State and Territory en-
braced within the National Union. :
II is plain, that this oath has been insen,
ioasly contrited to exclude every cody but.
AholitioDsts from the exercise OF the lee
tive franchise. The voter is required to-
swear that he WIN oppose all negotiations
f"r peace, until L'ncoln's proclamations, are
enforced, and extended "over the people Of
every State and Territory embraced within
The National Union" This, of course, in
cIudas the Emancipation proclamations, the
proclamation suspending the writ Of aabeas
corpus, and any other usurpations and con-
,r'vances for the cnslavenent Of the people
which may arise in the brain Of Mr.. Lincoln,
