A Letter from President Johnson to
Gov. Brownlow.

NASHVILLE, July IL.
The following dispatch was received by
Gov. Brownlow from the President:
Washington, July 20, 1865.
To Hon. w. G. Brownlow:
/ hope and have no doubt You will see
that the recent amendments to the Consti-
tuition Of the State as adopted by the people
and all laws passed by the Legislature in
pursuance thereof are faithfully and fairly
sxssuted and that all illegal votes in tho
approaching election be excluded from the
polls and the election for members Of Con
gress be legally and faithfully condusted.
When and wherever it may seem necessa-
ry to employ force for the execution Of the
laws and the protection Of the ballot box
from violence and fraud, you are authoriz-
ed to call upon Maj. Gen. Thomas for suf-
fcient military force to sustain the civil
authorities Of the State.
have read your recent address to the
to tho people and think it well timed, and
hope it will do much good in reconciling
the opposition to the amendment Of the
constitution and the last Legislature. The
law must be executed, and the civil au.
thoritiss sustained. In your efforts to dc
this, IL necessary, Gen. Thomas will afford
a sufficient military force. You are at lib
srty to make what use you think proper o
this dispatch. srn ..s. 9o s7.

were adverse to Gov. Pierpoint and his
policy, nevertheless, he was firmly dis
posed to believe in Gov. Pierpoint and his
course, and to render him all the assistance
he might require in the discharge Of his
important duties, and he had no doubt
that the Governor would not only Justify
the confidence of the Executive, but like
wise that Of the people Of Virginia, over
whom he was called to rule.

President to suspend the processes issued
