AND on THIS

AND on THIS:
1.-THE most unflinching and consci-
entious champion the Constitution
ever had"
Mr.. johnson was their own (Repub-
lican) Vic President and President.
They even taunted him with being
the father of the dominant regime in
Tennessee. Very well-that was in
time of war-he has demonstrated that
he is also first in peace, and the natur-
al consequence is that he is first in the
hearts of his countrymen. If they
(the people, ever felt any harshness
toward Gov. Johnson, his magnanim-
ity has opened the way to forgive. -
NashrHle Banner, AprV Is, 1869.
If Andrew Johnson, with his fore
sight, knowledge and integrity, can
not bring us out Of the trouble, who
can? 1t is clearly the duty of loyal
and thinking people to give him a
hearty, faithful support; to be cheer
| ful and content; TO look with suspi-
ciOn upon calumniatOrs and secret
enemies; to be slow to censure or iear.
With this tempeT-Which we appre-
hend is not so general even among
his pretended friends as il ought TO be
we shall not only reach the end of
strife, but the actual restoration of the
Union. .'--AashriHe Banner, OctO5er
l, 1866.
No one who could have heard An
drew JOhnsOn's speech in front of the
Courthouse in this city yesterday
could have been induced, by sneers
from Northern Radical presses, to be-
lieVe that the man was dead or dying
physically, morally or politically"
Nashville Banner, Aprl 10, 1868.
The people, Irrespective of pOliti-
cal complexion, age or sex, would do
Injustice to themselves did they not
pay to his worth and public service OF
long years the poor tribute of cordial
greeting and patient hearing. TO
treat him discOurteOusly would be
simply contemplate even with those
who choose To consider themselves his
enemies. ."-NdShCiUe Banner, AprH
3, 1869.
"The Conservatives of Tennessee
may well dread the effect of john
sons peregrinatiOns. 1t will do more
to unite and energize the Republican
party in Tennessee, and the South
generally, than any other one thing
could. OF course many of the friends
of, and mOurners for the Lost Cause
cannot see this result; but ii is GER
tain as that night succeeds day
hnorCHe Wing.
Then, if that is so, why do you warn
the Conservatives against Andy's
peregrinations? DO you not want the
Republican party united" and
" energized?' This is the whine of
every whipped cur in the carpet-bag
kennel. The Conservatives are not
IN the race, johnson Is not in the
race. Yet If Johnson's peregTina-
tiOns' do this direful thing, why do
you wish it 10 cease? Verify, art thou
sincere, oh! Pearne? Else, art thou
not n most sanCtimOniOus falsitiGT?-
Banner, 1pTH %, 1869.
The School Fund party in this State
persistenuy remind their disfran-
chised and plunder6i victims that
Andrew Johnson initiated the meas
ure OF disfr3nchisement. Now if these
hypOcriteS, at this late day, cOndcma
him for it, they have been a long time
correcting the error, though having
the power. Actions speak louder than
words.-BaHgfF, april is, 1863.

upon the rich rebels of Middle pennO5- |

to him thousands of dollars. As he |

been done with the money Wrenched |
from them at the point of the baYonet. /
