In the chronological Journal is this
analysis of the character of Andy John.
SON."
Phrenologically considered: he has a
large brain, well supported by an excel
lent constitution. The brain is specially
heavy in the base, including large percep-
tive organs; broad between the ears in
Destructiveness, Combativeness, and Ali
mentiveness large in the lower back
head, including the Social Affections and
were it nos that Dir. johnson has also a
full tophead, including Conscientiousness,
Veneration, and Beneyolence, he would,
indeed be imperious or despotic, AS it
is, he possesses a. very strong will, the
greatest fortftude, and ALMOST unlimited
powers Of endurance, with courage and
force to match. Cautiousness is not over
large; Secrctiveness is full, and the intel
lectual faculties are prominent and active
SelfEsteem is full and considerable pride
of character will be manifested. Owing
to large Approbativcness, he will nevcrbe
naughty, proud, or doninccring, but will
be modest, just, respectful and judicious,
but always strong and earnest. That he
will freely confer with his advisers, get
ting the best judgment from all sources,
there can be no doubt; and that he will
be master of the situation, be governed by
what he conceivcs to be right and proper,
holding all men 20 tie rigid accountability
to principles, there can be no question
There will be no child's play with such
man. He will be calm, self-rcgulated and
determined. His organization will incline
him to. take a comprehensive view of
questions and to consider tho interests of
the people,. There is nothing aristocratic
in his composition, but he is cmincntly'
democratic in the best sense of the term
granting the same rights to all men that
he claims for himself. There is not the
slightest touch of pretension to royalty,
or the feeling that "I am better than
thou;" nor would ho play the sycophant
to lords or crowned dheads. He is, and al
ways will be, plain Andrew Johnson.
He can. be used by others only in the in
terc.t of the people. He is benevolent,
and even rcformatory in spirit, but con-
scrvativo in principle: If severe to the
wicked, he will be just; and to the humble
and patient he will be kind. His physi-
ogniomy has an expression of anxious
care, as though he were pecring into the
future, trying to divine the will of Provi-
denco He has not that joyous, hopeful,
sunny expression, which illumincd the
face of Mr.. Lincoln; but it is moro sedate
and stcrn-loolling, which IS in keeping
with the character of the man. Mr.. Lin
coins head was narrow between the ears;
Mr.. Johnson's is very broad at this point.
Mr.. Lincolns was high in the centre, in
dicating humility, meekness and devotion.
Mr.. Johnson is not deficient in these Or
gans, but. thc7 do net exert very marked
influence. Exesntivcncss is the leading
trait of his, character, and be his Presi-
Dental career q success or failure, twill
not lack ppopclling power or the spirit to
punish wicicdncss. Hc may show len
icncy, bat it will not be until he first
secs pcnitcnco on the part of the offender.
