= 4 Remarkable MaR.-ReraTdo Of Pro5iy.-
Andrew johnson, who has Just been elected
Governor of Tennessee, lover the most popular
whig in the State, Major Henry, whose cratori-
cal gifts are hardly second to those of any other
gentleman in the Union,) is an extraordinary
man. Indeed, there is more in his history to
encourage probity, industry, energy ard ambi-
ton in The youth of America of all degrees.
iSaTs the Washington Star, than in that Of
anv other pujlic man we know of. At two
wears Of age, Mr.. johnson was 1--WE learn from
those in whose knowledge of his early history
We place every confidence an inmate of the
aims house of Wake County, North Carolina
where he remained until his eighth year. when
he was apprenticed to tailor in Raleigh His
master,if he failed to have taught him even the
rudiments of an English education, at least
trained him up to love the truth, work hard,
and be straightforward in his dealings with ev-
cry one. When his apprenticeship was up,
Mr., Johnson married woman after his own
heart, who knew enough from books to be able
to aid him in mastering the arts of reading and
writing.
On marrying just after he became of age, he
emigrated to Eastern Tennessee, trudging pare
footed, it is said, with his faithful helpmate by
his side, and his pack at his back. Assiduous
labor at the tailoring, at the end of ten years,
placed him in comfortable circumstances for his
position in that region; and by that time, by
dint ofhard study during his leisure moments,
he had becomenn actually man of considerable
general information. Being a good taker on
the stump, he was sent consecutivey for term
or two to both branches of the Legislature
From thence he was transferred to the House
of Representatives of the United States, where
he served SIX years. As member of CONGRESS-
he has been distinguished for the integrity of
all he did. Whatever may be thought of views
such as he at times takes of public affairs, all
do him the justice to believe that more upright
legislator was never in the Congress of the
United States.
Mr.. Johnson is not more than forty-seven
years of age at this time, having seen as much |
public service as any other man of his age, not
the trials and drawback by which |
his early years were surrounded.-[ Milwaukee !
