A Republican nicotine? was held Inst evening, at National Hall, Market street, under the auspices of the Union League. Wil liam II. Kern, Esq., presided. Colonel Mullen, of Tennessee, was Introduced to the meeting by Mr. (ioforth. Ho snid that be came from that part of the State which hud been called the field of slaughter. He said that he bad done all that be could to keep bnetc the tide of rebellion, and he believed that did soinn good. He then recited a speech made by him previous to the war, describing the frightful results of civil war, and urging upon the people to abstain irom any ati ot rebellion. He then referred to the present, condition ot the coun try, and said this Government did not belong to one man, but the whole people, Hnd it mut be governed to carry out that object. He did not desire to interfere with the politics of this Htate, but at the same time the people ot IVnn Bjlvania should ee to it that the loyal men who have tt presented the State In Congress are re turned In October. In referring to the early political history of Andrew Johnson, ha said that he (Johnson) had always made speeches which weic intended to Incite the brutal pas-, dons of men and to create aeclional feeling. He said that the President was never in battle. He went to Nashville, and there he hud a body guard of about two thousand, and he never went live miles from Nashville without that guard. Andrew Johnson made a soeeeh in the town in which he (the speaker) lived, and at that tune he declared that treason should be made odious, and that the large plantations of th; Kebrls should be divided among the poor loyal whites of the State. Tho people of Tennessee, after hearing these declarations, were willing to trust him, and they did all they could to ele vate him to the Vice-Presidency. Ho was con sidered a raaical at tnat time, but now the I resident is fratciriz'ug with those abused by him at that time. The speaker referred to the course of Johnson in ret'eronce to the necro, and his declaration that he would be their Moses; for this speech the negroes in Nashville raised lour hundred dollars and purchased a watch, which they presented to Andrew JohnBon. Albert Jervis, of Louisiana, and others, made fpeeches. National Union Ward Associations.
