SPEECH OF GOB. JOIEINSON.
Union miss meeting was held at Nashville
on Friday night,. the 10th inst., at which Gov.
Johnson was the principal speaker. We t find
the following reportiu the Nashville Times : •
The appearance of Gov. Johnson on the steps
of the St. Cloud Hotel was greeted by the vast
crowd with loud applause. All were anxious
• to hear and see the next Vice President of the
Uniteld States. ,
After thanking the assembly for the compli
ment they had bestoWed on him, and a few other
preliminary remarks, Gov. Johnson proceeded
to say that we are engaged in a great struggle
for:free government in the proper acceptation
of the term.
So far as the - head of the ticket is concerned,
the Baltimore Convention has said. not only to
the United States, but to all the nations of the
earth, that we are determined to maintain and
earl out the 'principles of free government.
[Applause.] That Convention announced and
conthuneduprinciple notto be disregarded It
waa that the right Of secession, Ind the power
of at SW43 to place itself oat of the Union, are
not recognized. The Convention had declared
thisprinctple by its action. Tennessee had been
in rebellion against the Government, and wages
a treasonable war against its authority just as
- other Southern States had done. She had se
ceded just as other States had, and left the
Union as far as she 'had . the power to do so.
" - Nevertheless, the• National Convention had de
clared that a State cannOt put itself from under
the national authority. It said by its first nom
ination that the present President, take him al
together, was the man to'steer the ship of State
for . the next four years. [Loud' applause.]
Neit, it said—if I May he permitted to speak
of Myself, not in the way of vanity, but to il
lustrate a principle—"We will go' inte'one of
the rebellious States and choose a candidate for
, the Vice Presidency." Thus the ,Union party
declared,its belief that the rebellious States are
stiltin the Union, and that their:loyal citizens
. are still citizens ofthe United States. And now
there is but one great work for us to do, that is
to pat' down the rebellion. •Our day is to sus
tain the Government and htdpit. with all our
'might to crush out a rebellion .whieh is in vio
lation,of all that,is right and sacred.
Gov: JOhnsiin said he had no impassioned op
pealis temake to the people in his own behalf.
He had not sought the position assigned him by
the National Convention.' Not a man in allthe
land'eaniruthflilly say that I have asked him to
use his'influence in my behalf in that body, for
the pi - militia allotted to me, or for any other.
On the Contrary,l have avoided the candidacy.
But while rhave not sought it, still being con
ferred upon me unsought, I appreciate it the
more. highly. Being - conferred on me withhue
solicitation, I shall not decline it. [Applauie.]
Comiii•Weal or woe, success or defeat, sink. or
swim, Survive or perish, I accept the nomina
fion,,pajtineiple, be the consequences what they
may- .1 will do what I believe to be my
"I know there are those here who profess tofeel
a contempt for me, and Von the other hand,
feel My superiority to them. I have always un.
derstood that there is 'a sort of 'exclusive aris
tocracy about Nashville which tit:recta to contemn
all who-are not - within ita little circle Let them
enjoy their opinions. I hive heard it said that,-
"Worlh'imkes the matt, and want aft the fellow,"
This aristocracy has been the bane'of the
slave States, nor bas the North been whollyfree
from:its cone.:it, is . a class which I have
•
always forced to respect me, for I have ever set
it at defiance. The respect of the honest iutel
ligeut and industrious class I have endeaVored
win by my conduct es a, man. One of the,
objet eletnents.of this rebellion - is the opposition
of the slave aristocracy to being ruled by men
who - have risen from the ranks of the people.
This aristocracy hated Mr. - Lincolu, because he
was Of humble- origin, -a, rail:splitter in early
life. One of , thein,,-the private secretary of
Howell Cobb, said to me - one day, after a Mug
conversation, "We people of the South will not
itt.bmit to be governed by a min who has Coble
•op from,the • ranks of the , common people ; as
the Liticoldhas,", He uttered the essential
feeling4nd Spirit Of this Southern rebellion.
Now, it has just "occurred:to me, if - this ItristOc•
rag' is so violently opposed . to being governed:
by Mr:Lincoln, A4at in the mime of coo sc i enet . -
will it do Lincoln and Johnson 9 [Great
funghter,r T art with scorn this whole ides
of au artegint aristocracy. I hell v , . that ,•,:-
,iaoapiible pi suit-government, itreopec i O of
his outward circumstances, and whether he be
a laborer, a shoemaker, a tailor, or a groper.
The question is whether man incapable of self-
government. I - hold with Jefrerson, that gov
ernment was made for the convenience of man,
and not man , for 'the goVetiument. The laws
and constitutions were designed as mere instru
ments to promote his welfare. And hence,
from - this pnciplp i I conclude that governments
can and ought - to' be changed and amended to
conform to the wants; to the requirements
and progress of the people, and the enlightened
spirit of the age. [Loud applatisea Now, if
any of your - Secessionists have 'lost faith in
man's capability of self-government, and feel
unfit for. the exercise of: this great right, go
straight to Tebeldom, take Jeff. Davis, Beaure
gard, and Bragg for your masters, and put their
'collars on your necks. "
And here let me say that now is the time to
recur to these fundamental principles, while the
land is rent with anare,hy and upheaves with
the throes of a mighty . revolution. While soci
ety is in this disordered state, and we are seek
ing security, let us fix the foundations of the
Government on principles of eternal justice
which will endure for all time. There is an
element in- our midst who are for perpetuating
the institution of slavery. , Let me say to you,
T6Tiesseeans and m en from the Northern States,
that slavery is dead. It was not 'murdered by
me. I told you long ago what the result would
"lie if you endeavored to go out of the Union to ;
save slavery, and that the result would be blood
shed; rapine, devastated fields, plundered vii
lages and cities ; and - therefore I urged you to
remain in the Union. 'ln trying to save slavery ,
you killed it and lost your own freedom. Your .
shivery is dead, but I did .not murder it. As
Macbeth said to Banquo's bloody ghost,
Never shako LILY - gory locks at me:—
Thou canst not say I did it.
.:
Slavery is dead, and you must pardon me if I
do not mourn over its dead body; yoU can bury
it out of sight. In restoring the State leave but
that disturbing and dangerous element, and use
only those parts of the machinery which will
move in harmony.
Now, in regard to emancipation, I want to !
say to the blacks that liberty means liberty to
work and enjoythe fruits of your labor. Idle
lien is not freedom. ~1 desire that all men - shall
have a fair start and; an equal chance in thtyl
rate,of life, and let `him succeed who has the
most merit. This, I think, is a principle of hea- '
ven. I am for emancipation' for two reasons, ;
firstbecause it is right in itself, and second, be- ,
cause in the emancipation of the slaves, we
break down an odious and dangerous aristoe
racy. .1 chink that we, are freeing more whites
than blacks' in Tenifeasee. I want to see sla
very broken up, and when its barriers are thrown
down, I want to see industrious, thrifty emi- ,
grants pouring in from all parts of the country.
Come on! We need your labor; your skill,yonr
capital. We want your enterprise and inven
thin, so that hereafter Tennessee may rank with
Neti England in the arts and mechanics, and
that when we visit the Patent Office, at Wash-
ington, where the ingenious mechanics of the
free States have placed their models, we need
not blush that Tennessee can show nothing but
a mousetrap, or Something of abed as much
importance. Come on ! We greet you with a
hearty welcome to the soilig Tennessee. Here
is soil the most fertile: in every agricultural
product; a delightful and healthy climate, for-
eats, water power, and mines of inexhaustible ,
richness; come and help us redeem Tennessee,
and make her a powerful and flourishing State.
But in calling a convention to restore the
State, Who shall restore and re-establish it?
Shall the man who gave his influence and his
means to destroy the Government? 'ls he to
participate in thegreat work of re-organization? .
Shall he who brought this misery upoathe State
be permitted tb- control its destinies. If this be
so, then all this precious blood ()Lour brave
soldiers and officers, so freely poured out, will
have been wantonly spilled. All the glorious
victories won by our noble armies will go for
nought, and all the battle-fields which have been
sown.-with dead heroes during this rebellion
will liave been made memorable in vain. Why
all this carnage and devastation ? It was that
treason might be put down and traitors punish
ed. Therefore I say that traitors should take a
back seat in the work of restoration. If there
be but five thousand men in Tennessee loyal to
the Constitution, loyal-it) freedom, loyal to jus
tice, these true and faithful men should centre'
the works of re-organization and reformatior
absolutely. [Loud and 'prolonged applause.]
I say that the traitor has ceased to ben citizen.
and in joining the rebellion-has become a pub
lic enemy. He forfeited his right to vote with
loyal men when he, renounced his citizenshi;
and sought to destroy our Governm nut. Wt
say to the most honest and industrious foreig
net. who comes from'England or Germany ti

country, " Before you can be a citizen you musi

ship. A fellow who takes the oath merely ti
aav,e his property, and denies the validity of the '
oath, is a perjured man, and sot to be trusted
Before these repenting rebels can be. trusted

lie who - helped to make all these widows env

_ he work is in our own hands. We i•Attldestroy
this rebellion. With Grant thundering on the
Potoniac,'before Richmond, and Sherman and
Thomas on their march toward Atlanta„the
day will ere long°, be ours. Will any madly tier
gist in rebellion? Suppose that an equal num
ber be slain in every battle, it is plain that the
result must be the utter -extermination - of the
rebels. Ah, these rebel lenders have u_atrong
-personal reason 'for holding out to sai7their
necks from the halter And these leaders must
feel the power of the Government. Treason
must be made odious, and traitors must be pun
ished an I impoverished. Their graat planta
tions must be seized and divided, into mall
farms, and sold to honest, industrious men.—
The day for protecting
the landriand negroes of
these authors of rebellion is past. It is high
time it was I have been most deeply pained
- at some things which have come under my ob
servation. We get men in command who, un - ;
der the influence of flattery, fawning and-_car'4l ,
easing, grant protection tothe rich traitor, while
the
_poor Union man stands out in the cold, often
unable to - get a receipt or a voucher for his
tosses. (Cries of ?'That's !" from all parts
of the crowd.) The traitor- can get lucrative
contracts, while the,lojail man is pushed aside,
unable to obtain a recognition of his just claims.
I am telling the truth I care nothing for stripes
and shoulder-straps. I Want them all to hearwha t
I say. I have been on a gridiron for two years
atthesight of these abuses. I blame not the Gov,
eminent for these wrongs, which are the work of
weak or faithless subordinates. Wrongs will
be committed under every form of goverment
and every administration, For mvaelf I mean
to stand by the Government till the flag of the
Union shall wave' ove.revery city, town,
and cross-roods, in its fuilpower and majesty.'
The nations of Europe are anxious firr our over

It is believed that no securities offer so great
in
duecmemte to lenders as the various descriptions of
U.S. Bonds. In all other forMs of indebtedness, the
faiiit and ability of private parties or etock com
panies or separate communities only is pledged fOr

- These Bonds may be 7ubscribed for in sums from
$6O up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and
are thus made equally available to'the smallest len
der and the largest capitalist. They can be con
verted into Meriey nt , any moment, and the bidder
will have the benefit of the interest.
It may be useful to state -in this connection that
the total Funded Debt of ilmlTnited States on Which
interest is payable in gold, on the 3d day sf March.
186 i, was '5768,975,000. The interest 6n this debt for
the coming fiscal-year will be $45,937326. while the
customsrevenue in gold for the current fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1864. bus been so fur at the rate
of over sno,omeoo per annum.
It;mill lie seen thz even the preset gold rev
enues of the Government are largely in ezeess of
the wants of the Treasury for the , payment of gold
interest ; while the recent increase of the tariff will
doubtless raise the2annual receipts from customs on
the same amount of importations; to $150,000,000
•
per annum.
