He is child Of destiny. but it is a destiny of
his own creation. He has been the architect OF
his own fortunes, and looks to the people alone
for fayors. Ny word for it, they will not desert
him for he has never deserted them. In 1865,
should he be candidate for their sutfrases, the
toiling millions OF his cOuntrymen will flock to hls
banner, The hardy SONS of toll will come from
the mountains the hills aud dales, and from the
congressional homesteads, as ''autumnal leaves
come when the forests are rendered., ana you

speak of Andrew Johnson in this way, Tor nave
some reason to know the man. we canYassed tle
State in 1853 for governor of Tennessee. There is
more resistance in him than any man ever en-.
Countered. The harder he was pressed the higher
he rose under the pressure, and seemed to me Ine
heavier he was pressed the lighter he ran. Inc
greater was the obstacle threw in his way, the
n more triumphantly did he clear it at bound. HIS

President Johnsonis whole appearance an
hearing are strongly expressive of character. l
stature square built, broad Chested, not over tai
compact manly: in dress, decenty clad in
M sober and somewhat worn frock coat, his bod
Ell seems merely suitable pedestal for mounting h
# massive head. A broad brain, hair originally
"a feep black but now evenly sprinked over with
thin iptermixture Of white making what is Gale
an iron-gray; complexion dark and face
81 grave aspect which strikes the behoider at once
n f}ng the whole figure q mere appendage to it
a. that of a man Infatuated TO weighty deliber
tons: a face on which public responsibilities ha
deepy e9graveu their lines. 1t is sobriety al
weight of character, more than brilllancy OF int
lect that is expressed in Mr.. Johnson's feature
One gets the impression that he must De man
strong but rather slow faculties, which massi
vipor Of will hold resoutely to their work. WI
the sober strength of his care-weighted face, the
is combined certain hardness OF expression,
III if he were deficient in the softer human SYM
81 thies This is perceptibly relieved as soon as
81 speaks his voice having quetness and ease
Fl eXpected from the square built, hard gisag
coid-eyed statesman. But still the predomln
a immersion is that nature formed him to be mer
a Dubic man: that he is a resolutely ambitio
stro0se hBerea soul, to whom nothing is so C
genial as the cares of State.
