OuIoAdo, April ls.-President johnson, in.fe-
plyto a sarenade from the soldiers aud sailors
last evening, said We are involved in the most
critical aud trying struggles that have occurred
since this Government game into existence.
The Government has another trial still to 60
through that is TO give evidence to the matthias
Of thsrearth and It's own citizens that it has
power enough to put down treachery at home
and treason within. its own borders. Cheers.
We have commenced that struggle, aud | ttust
in God we will pass through it successfully.
The organized and combined powers thatteeent-
ly stood arrAyed against us are disRhnded and
driven from the field, but II does not follow that
there are no enemies and traitors against our
present form of Government and, sogr institu-
tions. stood in the Senate Of the Bnited States

why it is that. the whole pack Of slanderers are
swapping at my 2hsels., Cheers. Why is it
they array themselves against me Is II because

CCheers1 Why Is it they are arrayed IN tfaduc-
ing and villifyiug and calumniatihg me- Where
were they dnringfhe rebellion2 A voice--"at
home in bed."l In the Senate raised my voice
against it, and when it was believed it would
be to the interest of the natbonto assist in put
ting down the rebellion, did I not leave my
place in the Senate, place OF emotuthent and
distinction, and take my position where the en-
emy could be reached, and where mems lives
were in danger; [cheers] while was opposed
personally and publicly by some of my present
traduceTs and, calumniators, who were far re-
moved from the foe, and who were enjoying
ease and comfort. But i care not for them.

has been letloose against ne. care not for all
that; and let me tell you here TO day that a.,
al~ar fo 81,
shall survive long enough to live down the
whole pack Of traducers and slanderers. Ep-
plause.] They have turned the whole pack
loose to lower me in your estimstion A voice
-'' They cannot do that.''1 Blanche, Tgay,
! Sweelheart, and all the little dogs come along,
snapring at my heels, bat heed them not
[Cheers. The American people, citizens, SOL
diers, and sailors, know that, from my advent
into public life to the present hour, have al
ways stood, tie qnyielding and unwavering de-
fcndet of their fights and interests. When re-
bellion in Massachusetts was put down, did that
pitt Has:achus6tts out of the Union aud destroy
the State? When rebellion in Pennsylvania
was put down, did that destroy the State and
put 1t out of the Union So when the tectnt
great rebellion was closed, those States consti-
tuting part of the gLoFiods Uiion were restored
great deal was dGae n.,Teunessee under my
predecessor. We commenced the work together
we succeeded before I assumed my present po-
sition 10 restoring the troubles which had ex-
listed between Tennessee and the rest of the Un-
ion with une exception, and that represent
tation ] came to WASHINGTON Under eStraor-
binary CIRCUMSTANCES ard succeeded ..to tie
Presidency What theh7 Congress had ed-
Fjpurned without prosecuting art plan. then
! rccecded as bad been doing IN MY own State,
/ to restore the other States. We found the peo
| pie had no Courts, and I'VE said to the Judges
District Attorney and Marshal: Go down and
hold your courts the people need that the tri-
! bunals of justice shall be opened. Was that
| wrong ? The Courts were opened. We looked
/ about and saw that the people down there had
! no mails. They had been interrupted and cut
/ off by the rebellion. We. said to the POstmas-
! ter General, let the people kaye mail facilities
/ and then they will. begin to Understand that we
I all feel and think we are one people. We looked
| about and saw there was a blockade, that the
| custom houses we're closed, and we SAID let the
doors Of the custom houses be opened and the
blockade removed. Let trade and comuierce tie
restored, and it was dcne. we thus trareied
I-openiLg custom! houses, restoring nails and re-
establishing all the Customs that had been in
terrupted by the rebellion. Was there anything
here that was not authorized by the Constitu-
ton and justified by the great necessities of the
case? Now, what remains TO be done? 1t is to
admit their representatives. TCheers1 When
we say admit their Representatives in a consti;u-
! tional and law abiding sense rs we intendedSat
! the beginning of the Government, all that is
| needed is for the Houses respectively to deter
mine the question. But some one will say, a
| traitor might come in. The answer to that is,
that each House must be the judge and when
| traitors present themselves, cannot either House
| know that they traitors Cannot they kick
! them out of doors, and send them back, saying
! to the people who sent them, you must send
| us loyal men? ICheers, and voice-'thats
logic What is the difficulty about that
None. ICheers.l II traitor presents himself
to either House, cannot that House say, no, you
cannot he admitted to either body; so back /;
| we will not deny your people representation, /,
but they must send us loyal representatives.
| 1Cieers.1 When the State does send loyal rep.
| presentatives, can you have any better loyalty2
While have been contsnding against traitors,
| trea son, secession and dissolution of the Union
! Ihave al the same time been contending against
the consolidation of power here. | think the
| consolidation of power here equally as danger
Gus as the separation of the States. That one
would not be better used and might run into
anarchy, while the other would concentrate and
! entail even monarchy. But there is an idea
! abroad that one man cnn be q despotj that one
man can be an usurper, but that one or two
hundred men cannot. Mr.. Jefferson, the apos-
! tie Of liberty, tells u.s. and SO does common
| sense that despotism can be exercised by many
more vigorously than by one. What power has
your President2 What can he do 2 What can he
originate? Why, they say he exercises the veto
power What is the veto power A voice-A
vote to put down the ngger. LaughterT Who
is President? fYoice-Andy Johnson. Is be
not elected by the people? The President is
nothing more than 1.-The Tribune of the people
the office Tribune in character. In oden
times when the Roman Senate was eucroachpg
on the peoples rights, and putting its heels'o
power on the necks of the people, the people
chose a Tribune and, placed him at the door o.
the Senate, that when that power venturet
such an act he was clothed with power to say
'.'Teto forbid your President now is the
Tribune Of this people. l thank God, and in
tend to assert the power which the people have
PLACED in my hands. .,...,- es6
