Brownlow and Johnson in tears !

A Yankee letter writer describes a recent meeting between Parson Brownlow and Andrew Johnson, who had been political antipodes and enemies for twenty five years. The writer says they ‘ "met face to face; each offered the other his right hand; both shed tears, neither spoke a word, and instantly separated, mutually reconciled!"’ A part of the little truth these villains have uttered in their lives was what they said of each other, and that made them both the worst men alive. To stone to the devil for the an of uttering so much that was not false they now make friends !
