The Union and ABeri40A, under the
head, "Grant or Johnson-To this
/ Complexion at Last, I" says: The Bdg-
ner publishes the testimony of Gen. |
l Grant relative 10 the feelings of eN-
/ President johnson toward Gen. Lee, |
and regards that as proof strong as
| holy writ, and amply sufficient to con-
vict hfr. johnson. Grants evidence
may do for tire Banner, but the peo-
pie Of Tennessee who oppose the Rad !
| ical policy will require further proof
/ than the evidence of Gen. Grant and
4 the Radical cOnspirators who at
| tempted the impeachment, especially
after the squelching that the Presi- |
dent, backed by his Cabinet, gave
| Gen. Grant in the controversy in 1868
about hls resignation of the position !
| of Secretary OF War al Interim The !
country has not forgotten how the !
President impaled tien. Grant, and
/ fully sustained himself by the testi- |
mony of the members of his Cabinet, |
who were present at the interview be- |
tween the President and Gen. Grant. !
The Banner, on the 18th Of February.
1868, published the statements of See
retaries Seward, Browning, Randall, |
McCulloch and Welles, accompanied |
/ by an editorial, from which we make |
/ the following, extract: Z" We think |
that, after careful perusal of the |
" entire correspondence, from its in
" ception to the sequel which we give
/" this morning, every fair-minded |
g reader will agree that the President
|" has as triumphantlyv vindicated him- |
/" self as he has completely squelched !
the late Secretary dd Interim, and |
g utterly routed the whole nest of con-
"spiratOrs."
The same journal, the same day,
under the heading, 1.-THE Gospel Of !
