A great Union meeting was held at Nashville, Tennessee, at which Gov. An drew Johnson was the principal speaker. We find the following report in' the Nash ville Times: "After thanking the assembly for the compliment they had bestowed upon him, and a few other preliminary. remarks, Gov. I Johnson proceeded to , say that we are en gaged in a great struggle for free govern- 1 mart in the proper acceptation of the term. "So far as the head of the ticketiscon- I cetned,the Baltimore Convention has said, not only to the United States, but to all the nations of the earth, that we are de termined to maintain and tarry out the principles of free govern ruent.(Applause.) That Convention announced and confirm ed a principle not to be disregafded. , It wr.s, that the right of secession and the power of a State to place itself out of the Union, are not recognized. The Conven tion bad declared this principle by its action. Tennessee bad been in rebellion against the Government, and waged a treasonable war against its authority just as the other Southern States have done. She had seceded just as the other States had, and left the Union as far as she had the power to do so. Nevertheless. the- National Convention had deeturell that a i State.cannet put itself froth under the National authority. It said by its first numivation, that the present President, take him altogether, was' now the wan to steer the ship of State for '.the next four yvirs. (L, , id applause) ..Nest, it said—if I may be permitted to sneak of myself, nut in the way of van ity, bat to illustrate a priticiple—•We g o into one of the rebellious states and choose la candidate fur ti.e Vice Presideoey.'—' I Thus the Union party declared its belief I that the rebellious states are yet in the ; Union, and that their loyal citizens are still citizens of the Unitvd States. And lout, there is but utie great work for us to I de, that is to put down the rebellion ;Our duty is to sustain the Guytti.inent land help it with all t;:ur might, , to crush I t•ut a rebellion which is in violation ut all that is right and sacred ;.Gov. Johnson said he had no impas sioned appeal to maim to the people in I his' own behalf. He had not sought. the position assigned him by thi National Convention Nut a man in all the laud !can truthfully say that I have asked him to use his influence in my behalf in that body. fur the position allotted to me or for any other. On the contrary 1 have avoided the candidacy. But while I have not sought it, still, beirg conferred upon me unsought, I appreeirtcd it the more highly Being conferred upon we with ,out solicitation. 1 shall vat decline it .

There is an element in our midst who rare for perpetuating the institution of slavery. Let ine say to you Tennesseeaos and men from the Northern States, that Slavery is dead. It was not murdered by me. I told you long ago what the result would be if you endeavored to go out! of the Union to save slavery, that there would hm Woodshed, rapine, devastated; fields, plundered villages and cities.
