Washington, when Mr.. johnson was
President. An interview at the White
House is thus alluded to in the testi-
monv:
ale (the President) asked me why
l was in hurry to get back to Tcnnes-
see.
81 said Governor Brownlow had
called meeting of the Legislature.
"He said 'He had d--d sight of
use for a Legislature, He'll have no
quorum this time, The people of
Tennessee are tired of this foolishness,
and very soon will settle with this Leg
islature.'
"Before President Lincoln issued his
proclamation of emancipation, Gov
ernor johnson signed a petition, which
was sent to Washington by Governor
Campbell, M. c., asking President
Lincoln to exempt Tennessee from the
proclamation, so as to let slavery remain
there.
"Atter the proclamation came out,
in which Tennessee was exempted, l
heard Governor johnson make speech
in Nashville to large crowd of about
5000 colored people, in which he said
President Lincoln in his proclamation
has exempted you from emancipation,
but | Andrew johnson, Military Gov
ernor of Tennessee, tonight declare
every one of you free"
