Anarew Johngon At KnoxviIIe.

.noxvills was crowded on Saturday last
alcome Andrew Johnson home. It
brilliant ovation, and ELECTED from
i'm a powerful and patriotic speech, from
/ report of which we make the following
extract
Mr.. johnson in response spoke over t" o
hours, interrupted frequently by cheers
and laughter at his telling points. He was
listened to with The most profound atten-
ton. He said he intended to devote the
remainder of his life as private citizen, to
the viudication of his official life and of
his native State from tile foul o5!oqay
which has been heaped upon him. He re-
viewed the organization of the Government,
according to the Constitution, into three
separate departments. The danger was
from the legislative department, who are
trying to undermine The Constitution. a
despotic and usurping Congress were try
my to take away the liberties of the people.
He referred to the accusation Of his not
being Moses and wanted to know if he
had not freed the negroes in Tennessee
Freedom was liberty to work ; freedom was
not to build up miserable Lazaroni to be
supported by the Government.
He had some evidence, he thought, of
his loyalty, and offered the following:
Received Nashville, March gath, 1862
of Andrew Johnson, Military Governor of
Tennessee, fifteen hundred dollars to aid
in the establishment of Union press at
Nashville, Tennessee, and to defray my
expenses while passing from under seces-
sion oppression. to the city of Nashville.
[SignedI w. G. BRowNLow."
He spoke of the taxation of negroes and
white men, and being now slaves to bond
holders. Would to God the Government
had not credit to borrow for war, then we
should have peace.
In concluding he said, Fellow citizens,
in parting from you, let me thank you for
your cordial reception and the attention
you have paid. We that are old, aud
whose heads are gray, must soon pass
away. Let me urge you to come up and
understand the Constitution. The soul Of
liberty is the Constitution and without the
Constitution there is no liberty"
At the expiration of his speech he was
greeted with hearty cheers and surrounded
by his old friends, anxious to clasp his
hands.

A Man Of Peace.

Andrew Johnson said in his speech at
Knoxville, 'My friends, the time is Tow
come to consider the condition of aft irs.
Had my advice been followed at the com
mencement of the war it would have been
better War is not the natural element Of
my life. Edesire peace. and peaceful
contest, within the Union and under the
Constitution. Thank God. my march has
not been through Golgotba my honors
have not been gained by blood the wild
ows and one-armed soldiers can not attri-
butte their wrongs to me. [ stand here to-
day indicating the Constitution as it was
handed down to me, and here in the last
hours of my life, l call upon you all to
cling to the Constitution of the country as
the mariner clings to his compass.
Let me tell you here to-day that I would
rather be in your midst to-day, privileged
to advocate the principles OF the Ccnstitu
ton. than to be inaugurated President. |
would rather wear the honest dust of peace
ful toll than the giIded shoulder straps or
the sword, crimsoned in brothers. blood,
dangling at my side. Yes prefer the
peaceful badges of a citizen TO the insignia
of bloody and relentless war. l had rather
be 10 your midst to unfurl the banner of
peace and fasten it below the cross, with
the inscription: my God and cay country
next. my confidence is unaltered. that the
people will be true to themselves, reason
will be restored, and we shall again have
our old form of government.

A Washington dispatch says a cores
pondence has been in progress for some
time between certain prominent men in the
British Provinces and leading men in this
country, relative to the prospective annexa-
ton of those provinces TO the United States.
Enough has been developed to warrant the
belief among some members of Congress
that if the matter could be reached in an
official way, proposals would eventually be
made to the United States, looking towards
annexation.

a Janus-faced Representative.

It is we'll known that when the commit
tee from Giles County waited upon Cover
nor Senter and requested him to withdraw
the militia from their midst. Representa-
tive Garner, of Lawrence county, swore
that it should not be done until every Ku-
klux in his and adjacent counties, had been
ferretted out and punished to he fullest ex-
tent Of the law; and that he also declared
that he knew the names of some four or
FIVE of the masked brotherhood who had
invaded kinsman's house.
We have it through the authority of the
Sheriff of Lawrence county, that this no
torious braggart on account of his previous
statements, and the jury desiring to elicit
all Information that could be obtained con-
corning the Kuklux, was recently duly
summoned before the Grand Jury to give
testimony in shat regard, and that he swore
most positively that he knew no member of
that organization.
The Grand Juries of nearly all the coun-
ties over which martial law was declared,
have endeavored by every possible means
to discover the members of the Kuklux
Khan, but without avail.-Banner, Sd.

The Tenure of Office LaW-The Com
promise Adopted.

The joint committee Of conference on
the late disagreement between the tao
houses on the tenure of Office law came to
q compromise. which was adopted by both
houses on the 1st inst, and having receiv-
ed the Presidents signature is now the law
in his removals and appointments. The Sen
ate modification of the Johnson law struck
out the section tying up the President in
reference to his Cabinet, but made his sus-
pensions from office during a recess of the
Senate subject to the consent of that body
at its next session-the suspended officer
being reinstated in the event of the Sen
ate's dsapPrOVal of his suspension. The
Conference report adopted provides that
when the Senate shall not concur in the
nomination made to supply a suspension
the President shall nominate aDother per-
son as soon as practicable for said office,
which is a material change. Under the
conference amendment the Presidents re-
movals are decisive, while as the Senate
had it they depended upon the will of the
Senate.
This is an important point gained by
Gen. Butler but still there is an impor-
tant point surrendered to the Senate. 1t is
in the first section of the new bill, retain
ed from the Senate bill, which provides
that all civil officers appointed WIN the
consent Of the Senate shallhold their Off
he regular term OF thei lappoint-
nless sooner removed with the con
esnate or by a new~apointment

COMMERCIAL CONVENTION IN THE SOUTH.
The Daily Kentuckian advocates the pro-
posed Commercial Convention to be held
in Memphis on the 18Th inst, and says
''the condition of the South is different now
than before the war, when commercial con-
ventions were as much political as other
wise'' 1t adds IF the South under
stands her true interests she will engage
extensively in manufacturing, and an ex-

sTis not in anthems that from builded fanes
Go up, with smoke of incense--in the wall
of sorrow or repentance, non the cry
Of supplicating ansuish--nst in all
The prayers that living lips can syllable,
Nor in the throb of alteration mute,
That stirs the breathless spirit on the shore
Of the lone ocean, or when midnight stars
Slow swing their ceaseless censers, or the flowers
And seasons lift our hearts 10 Him whose hand
Has touched them with His 2lory--not alone
: In these nor oil of these, dwells or breathes
The true, deep soul of Worship Far between
The God who made us and ourselves, there lie
Eternal depths Of distance. Sad and i'll
1t were to bear were there Divinity
No nearer to us-were the Patriarch's dream
of steps of light, that linked the earth and sky,
With angels gliding Ger them, but a cheat
of the fond brain of slumber Nay, there is
Divinity about us, and our earth
Hath, in some mortal shapes that tread it with us,
Creatures so full of Heaven, that prayer to them
Cannot be all idolatry They fill
The shrine-they wake the worship, and it scars
To where they stopped from. Uuto them we bow
The head, in rev renee, as religion bends
When holiest names are uttered. Round their soul.
The mists of frailty seem to have been flung
But that they mightnot be too bright to bless
The upturned eyes of love. To them, the clay
Is but the robe of beauty, as the cloud
That blushes in the dawn, or crimsons DER
The sunset, or sends forth the flashing Storm
Is but the earth-woye mantle, which the skies
Wear for our joy and wonder.
