The fdllowtng speech was delirered by .Senator Andrew Johnson, at Cincinnati, O.. while the fearless patriot was on his way from Tennessee to Washington. Jl is in reply to the address of welcome from the Mayor. Our readers will bear in mind, when reading this speech, that he who spoke it is a democrat, and during the last J'residential campaign sup-

ported the Breckiuridge party. llot do you think Jte sides with the traitor John C- Breckinridge, now ? .Far from it, — He came ont in the U -8. Senale.Ust " winter, denouncing this-man and the-co- : hurts of disunion. Indeed, no .more : (powerful Union speech was delivered in i either House, as all will assert who had ' the "pleasure of reading Mr. Johnson's | -eloqueut'ond masterly production. Af- ; ter Congress adjourned he returned to I his native state — Tennessee — and there j *■» resisted the secession movement, at the } great risk of his life. Day after day. uttd night after.night. be has stood forth himong friends and foes of American lib ; .urty, and proclaimed the true purposes of the Federal Government; ins lias told Tenncsseeaos uf the dirniul resulu of disunion, mid has apjieaJed to Ibem to stop oud. consider lite matter, as wo other man could. No bolder and -tlrougcr .defender of the present Administration : and our tiovernm|pl treads the paths of earth. We feel prond and boost of him as an American statesman. He merit* iFAr, Ho mutt he will receive it — [A'<£ .Ware; secession a hebede. ^ 1 know that there has been maeli said about the North, much said about the , .-South. I am proud, hera, to day, to (hear the sentiments and the languag*1 -which have been uttered iu reference to the North and the Sooth, and the relattiooi that exist between these two sections. [Afj^iuse ] I am glad to hear i it said in su^RT place as this that the I pending difficulties — I might say the j existing war— which ar» new upon this j •country, do not grow unt of any animosity to the local institution of any | section. [ Applause. j I am gjnd to ] be assured that it grows out of « deter- , 1 initiation to maintain the glorious prig- j xiplca upon which the Government it-- , self rests — the principles contanined in' .the Constitution — end at the same time . „ ^ AO rebuke and to bring back as far gt I .puiy be. practicable, «(ithin the pale .or • i * , the, Constitution those individnals, Air .States even, svbo have taken it upon themselves to exercise a principle and doctrine at war with all government, ;

with all association — political, moral, ■and religious. [Apphrase.J 1 mean | i Ore doctrine of wmmim, tchith it neilkir ' more nor leu than a political Army — a fundamental error— m political absurdity, coming in ronjiict with all organized ' government, with everything tlmt tends to preserve law and order in the United Stales, or wherever else the odious and ; abominable doctrine of secossiou exists, coming in conflict with all organism, moral and social. , I repeat without reI gard to the peculiar institutions of the respective States composing this Confederacy, without regard to unv government that may be found in the future or exists ih the present, thit odious doctrine of teceuion should be crushed out, destroyed, and totally annihilated. No government enn stand, no religious, or moral, or social organization can stand where this doctrine is tolerated. [A|»plaute.] It Is disintegration— universal diwtolvcnittrt — making war upon everything that has a tendency to promote and ameliorate the coitdrJon uf tile mass of mankind. [Applause.] Therefore I repeat, that this odious -ami abominable doctrine — you must pardon - me for using a strong expression— I do : not say it in a profane sense — but this 1 1 doctrine I conceive to be hell-born and - hell-bound, and one which will carry n everything iu its train, unless it is orrested and crushed out from our niidsL e [Urent applause.] r j THE WAB NOT ANTI-SI. A VF.UV . g lu response to what has been said to rae here to day, I confess, when I lay my hand on my bosom, I feel gratified at ' hearing lha srntiuienls that have been

uttered — that we are all willing to stand up for the constitutional rights guaranteed to every BtA^fevcrv community — .that we are all determined til stand up j for the prerogative* securvd to as in the Constitution, as citizens or States composing one grand Confederacy, whether : we belong to the North or to the Sonth, ! to the Kant or to the West. 1 say that i j I am gratified to hear such -sentiments j uttered here to-day. I regard them as | the most conclusive that there is no diei position on the part of awy citizens of tbedoyal States to make war upon any ! ; peculiar institution of the South — whotli- . er-it bo slavery or anything-elsc — lenv. i ing that institution, under the Constitution, to he controlled by time, circumstances, and the great laws which lie at the foundation of all things which po1 litieal legislation can control. ' mr. roiiNsox's rosrriov. i While I am before you, ray conntrr- . men, I am in hopes it will not be eon- , sidered ont of place for me to make a single remark or two in reference to my- ' self as connected with the praseuocri- ' ! sis. My position in the Congfe** of 1 i the United States during it* last session l is, I suppose, familiar to iiiu»r if not *11 of rou. Von know the doctrine I laid down, end I can safely say that the opin- ; ions I entertain now, on the great que.*- - lions of the day are just an they were I then. I have Dot changed them. I ! i have seen no reason to clisuge them. I : > believe tbaOa government without the i power to enforce its laws made in eon- ' > formity with the Constitution is no gov- ■ ! ernment at all. [Applause.] We havo . . arrived at that point or that period iu r j our national history at which it has be ■ I come necessary for litis Government to ; say to the civilized as well us to the paI I gan world, whether it is but a pretext • j for a Government If it is a Govern. t I ment, that authority should be auerteil. l 1 say, then, let thy virilized teorld tee that - j tee hart a Government. Let us dispel j - the delusion under which we have been . -laboring since tin inauguration of the i ' Government in !?&; in as straw that • j it is not an ephemeral institution, that i we have not imagined we bud a Uovcrnf ! ment, and when the test came the Govr cm ment frlttcted away between our fini gers and, quickly "faded in lh» distance, i The time has come when the Govern- > ( ment reared by our fotbers should assert

, itsel', and give conclusive proof to the ■ > i ■ civilized world that it is a reality and a f i • perpetuity. [Applause ] J i Let uk show to other nations that I this doctrino of iece*«inn is a heresy ; ; f that States coining into the Confederacy, i i that individuals living iu the Confedera- ' < I -cy, under the Constitution have uo i I right nor authority, upon their own vq. i i litipn, to set the laws and the Constitti- . lion aside and to bid defiance to the • authority of the Government under i which they live. [Applause ] I substantially cited the best authority that could )>e produced upon this ' subject, and took this position during the last session of Congress." I stand, hero to-day before yon and advocate the • same principles 1 then contended lor r As early as 1833 (let melieic say that I i am glad to find Uiatlhecfltumil U'e which • have waited upon me on this occasion, - and have pre'sented their sentiments, to i ine through their organ, I urn glad to find • that they represent all the parties among f w licit we have been iliyided) as enrlv as ) 1833. I srfy, I formed my opinions in 1 reference to this doctrine of Secession i in the nullification of the laws or the > United Stile*. I held lliesij doctrines i up to the year -l3.r>0, and T maintain i tin-in still. [Applause j )• I ciitertnTrfciTlTicso opinion*, ma I re- - j marked before, down to the latest silling-' . ' of Congress, end I thru reiterated them,' 1 entertain and express tliein hero today. [Applause.] 0 TUE STRLCGLE Of TARTIM. y In this connection. I may be permitt ted to remark tint, during our last ii struggle for the Piesidency, oil parties

contended for the preservation o! the Union. Without, going further back, what was that struggle;? Senator Douglas of the State of {lliuoic was a candidate. His friends prAented him as the : best Union man. I shall speak upon this subject in reference to my position. Mr. Breckinridge's friends presented him to the people a* the best Union ! candidate. I was one of Mr. Brcck'n- ; rid ire's friends. The Bell men presented the claims of the Hon. John Bell of Tennessee for the Presidency upon the ground that he was the best Union candidate. The Republican party, so far as I understand them, bare always been in favor of the Union. Then hero was ' the contest ; between four candidates presented to the consideration of the .people of the United States. And the great struggle between them and their odvoca'cs was who was entitled to pre- . eminence us a man in favur of the preservation of the Union of these Stales? , Npyr wliete do we find ourselves? In time* gone by you know w - had our dis- - cussions and our quarrels. It was bank I i id auti-bank questions, tariff and sutitarilT. . internal improvement nndanti-iui * provtfflMut, or tbo distribution of the I | money derived from the snlc of puiilic ! I Jul; de among the several States. Such ! : measures as these wc prjueoUul to the » ! jieople, and the aim in the solution of ; all was how best to preserve the Union [ ' of these Status ? One party favored the

> ' measures as calculated to promote Hie . ' weliare of our common country ; nnoth- , cr opposed them, to bring about the i same result. i j Then what was the former contest. — Bringing it dowu to the present times, i there has been no disagreement between ■ i Republicans, Bell men, Douglas men, [ | aud Breckinridge men, as regards the • preservation of the Union of Stales. — . j Now, however, those measures are ajl t , laid Skide — ail these party questions are 1 ; iell out of consideration, and the great i | question conies up whether the Cobstii tuliou, as adopted by. the old articles of I confederation, and afterward reaffirmed l in the adoption of the Constitution ol ■ the United States— 1 say now when the - | great question arise*, involving the - j preservation and existence of the Gov- . I erument ol the United States, I uui - > proud to meet this vast concourse ol t i people, aud hear llicm say lb -t they arc

i willing to lay aside all party measure* — « : all party considerations, and come juj)to '• in one fraternal ling to sustain the bright stars and broad stripes of our glorious Union— -all willing to unite, I ^ repeat, in one fraternal all willing f < m-opperate for the consummation or t| a sublime pnrposa, withont- regard to t. former party differences — that we are all l determined to stand fust by the Union h of these States. [Applause.] , | THE COXBrtRACT IN TENNES JOT f| With the facts in relation to theVa»UMt -j which look place recently in the State ok I Tennessee, you are nil familiar. No \ longer ago than last February there was f " an extra sesiion of the Legislature culled There was then a luw passed authorizing a Convention to be called. — ( The people of tlmt State voted it down ; by a -majority of sixty-four thousand. i Iu a very short lime afterward anoth- | or session of the Legislature was called, c ' This Legislature rvent into secret scs- 1 sioii in a very short time. While the 1 ' Southern Confcdenjey, or its ngents, | had access t<» it. and were put in posses sion of the doings mid peoeeedinsrs of , , this secret scsrion, the great mass hf the i people of my own State were not per- i mitted even to put their ears to the keyhole, or to look throng i n crevice in the j dpocs tp^M-effiuiTwhanFas being-done-— T^A league with the Sontiieni Confederacy i has been formed, and the Ptnlc has been ' handed ocor to that Southern Oiifedc- 1 rnoy, with Jeff.
