No one who could have heard Andrew
Johnson's speech in front OF the Court
house in this city yesterday could have
been induced, by sneers from Northern
Radical presses, to believe that the man
was dead or dying-physicaliy, morally or
politicalIy.-NashUille Banner, April 10,

"The people, irrespective Of political
complexion, age or sex, would do irjus,ice
to themselves did they not pay TO his
worth and public service of long years the
moor tribute Of cordial greeting and pse

would be simply contemplate even with
those who choose to consider themselves

energize the Republican party in Tennes-

other one thing could. OF course many of
