Has He Changeda

We copy the following from the Nash
vile Press and Times:
President johnson, when ne was Pro
v%isional Governor of Tennessee, in q
speech made from the steps of the st.
Cloud Hotel, in this place, to several thous-
and citizens, said:
81 say, that the traitor has ceased to be
a citizen, and in joining the enemy has
become a public enemy. He forfeited his
right to vote with loyal men when he re-
rounced his citizenship and sought to des-
troy our Government. We say to the
most honest and industrious foreigner, who
comes from England or Germany to dwell
among US and to add to the wealth of the
country, Before you can be a citizen you
must stay here for five years" If we are
so cautious about foreigners, who volunta-
rily renounce their homes to live with US,
what should we say to the traitor, who,
although born and reared among US, has
raised q parricidal hand against the gov
eminent which always protected him?
Ny Judgment is that he should be subjec-
ted to a severe ordeal before he is restored
to citizenship. A fellow who takes the
oath merely to save his property, and de-
MES the validity of the oath, is a perjured
man, and not TO be trusted. Before these
~repenting rebels can be trusted let them
bring forth fruits of repentance"
That is precisely what the Unionists of
Tennessee now affirm. They base their
franchise law upon its principles. They
have not swerved a hairs breadth from
their original position. Of course, Presi-
dent johnson still holds to this declara-
ton, for he asked in his speech of the 22d
of February:
What principle have 1 violated ?
What sentiment have I swerved from 2
Can they put their fingers on til Have
you heard them point out any discre-
pancy?"

The Indemnity Eli.

A bill for the indemnity of military
officers from prosecution for acts done in
the pursuance of orders passed the House
of Representatives on Tuesday by liz
yeas to 81 nays, a strict party vote, the
Democrats voting solid against it. The
necessity of the bill was clearly exhibited
by Mr. Cook, of Illinois, in the single
statement that in Kentucky alone fifteen
hundred salts had been brought against
Union officers for doing acts of military
necessity under orders from superiors. In
the face of these facts, and in the face of
the fact that every officer who has com
manded a foraging expedition, or burned
a bridge or occupied a house for head
quarters, or confscsied a mule, anywhere
within the limits of the reconstructed
rebel States, was liable to prosecution
therefor, the Democrats in the House
voted to a man against the bill to protect
them from such suits. Let it be put on
record that the Copperheads of the North
are willing to join hands with the rebels
of the South in prosecuting Union SOL
for acts of military necessity lone
the war.

A dispatch from New York says that
President johnson has accepted an invita-
ton from the Manhattan Club of New
York 70 sit for his portrait. The reader,
in order 70 understand the beauty and
pr0pristy of this action, should know
that the Manhattan Club is q Democratic
organization, formed solely for political
purposes, and avowedly intended to be to
the Copperheads what the New York
Union League is to the Union men. Its
President is John Van Buren,, and its
chief laminaries are men like August Bel

federste Congress would have been deem
eddy Andrew johnson less insulting than
this, which he has now accepted.
Since the picture is to be painted, how
ever, we hsye Q suggestion to make to the
Oopperhead artist who will do the work.
The varied and changefuL not to say
crooked, career Of our Chief Magistrate
will suggest many characters in which
he might be painted But to our mind
there is but one character in which Mr..
johnson should be depicted for the admit
ration Of future generations. Paint him,
not Is the @drunken traitor" which the
New York World SO elegantly and cour-
teOusly charged him with being, only a
year ago: nor in the character which he
has himself described, in his speech Of the
22d ult7 as q sacrihcisl victim pouring out
his blood upon the altar Gas a At libation
to the union Of these states" nor as he
again photographs himself in the pathetic
peroration of that remarkable address, as
. sort Of masculine Niobe, weeping over
tho final dissolution of the country nor
ven a IN ambitious sportsman, con-
t~snptously refusing to fire upon dead
ducks Mol Mr.. johnson should be
painted In but one grand character. Let
him be handed down to posterity as

There Is . rumor that President John
son intends to throw the weight Of his
Official influence in favor of the Demo
cratic ticket in Connecticut. There are
ssme facts which would seem to corrobor-
ate the statement. Secretary Welles has
refused to endorse the Republican nomi-
nations, although in October last, when
the Administration was more radical, he
bad no hesitation in publicly declaring
himself in favor of the equal-suffrage
amendment then pending. Senator Dix
on, Of Connecticut who Wa elected as a
Republican, and is now q johnson man,
is equally reticent in regard to the present
canvass. The secret OF the Presidents
hostility may be found in the fact that
General Hawiey, the Republican nominee
for Governor, is 81 old anti-slavery man
and an advanced isdical, and that his
paper, the Hartford Press, has, like every
other independent Union paper in the
country, spoken out unequivocaIly against
the Presidents policy. Should the rumor
prove true, and should the President take
ground against the Connecticut Unionists,
It will seal the fate of the Republican
ticket In that state, but it will also seal
the fate Of Andrew johnson.
