& President Johnson's Policy-An Authori-
tntive Specch-Andrew Jackson Over
4 Again.
President johnson, in his admirable speeches
4 in Washington, while emphatically pronouncing
Z in favor Of the punishment Of traitors, wisely
declared that the specific measures Of his
administration would be shaped by the de-
I velopment of events. We have, however. in
our special report-which we republish this
1morning-of his Nashville speech of June
last, accepting his Baltimore nomination and
platform, bold and unreserved exposition
Of his views and purposes upon the leading
questions of the day. From what we know of
the character Of the man, feel perfectly safe
] in the prediction that the programme fore
shadowed in this speech will be the policy of
his administration. and that neither friends nor
! foes will shake him from his resolution to carry
lit out.
What is this programme? 1t is the broadest
and most emphatic Interpretation that South
: ern war democrat, who has passed through the
Fire of the rebellion, could give to the leading
s 3principles of the Baltimore republican plat
! form. First, he holds the impregnable ground
that his nomination from seeded State car
fries with IL the doctrine that secession has not
taken solitary State out Of the Union. AL
the rebellous States are in the Union, have
never been out Of it, and we have been fighting
/ to keep them in, and to put down the rebel.
lious elements fighting to take them out. Here,
then, President Johnson demolishes the theory
Of Senator Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens and some
other Northern abolition radicals, that from
their rebellion against the general government
the insurgent States have ceased to be within
the pale Of the Union. Mr. Johnson's position
upon this important matter will materially sim
!plfy the task of the reorganization of the re-
bellious States
In the next place, the revolving slaveholding
aristocracy of the South have no reason to ex-
pect any very large concessions of charity from
Andrew johnson. The time has come, he says
for the punishment of this aristocracy, based
upon slave labor, and it must prepare TO give
up the ghost. He is for putting them down,
for confiscating their lands and "dividing out
! their possessions among worther laborers of
any and all colors." Such were Mr.. Johnsons
declarations on this interesting subject in June
I last, on his acceptance of the Baltimore nomi-
nation. lie said, too, on that occasion, ~ shall

elected or defeated) let the consequences for!
good or evil be what they may Fixed in his
convictions of right, he will follow them to-
the end.
In regard TO slavery he is equally explicit.
Slavery, he says, is dead. He endeavored to save
il in Congress, and by holding il under the pro-
lection of the Union; but they (the slavehold-
ing aristocracy) rejected all good advice.
"They have murdered slavery in trying to;
destroy liberty. Now let them bury it" He,
advised the people, in The Reorganization ofTen-
ncssee, to leave slavery out; and, under his in
's!ruclions as Military Governor, they have doneI
