ANDREW JOHNSON NOT DEAD.

Those who fondly hoped that the recent |
defeat Of johnson for Senator, by the len
nessee Legislature, would thoroughly lay
him out as politician, and consign him to
that privacy which they know he is not cal
culated for, are doomed to disappointment.
He is not of that class who surrender on
one, or two, defeats. His fondness for po-
htical life and his irrepressibe vigor, give
him wonderful elasticity and recuperative
energy, 80 that when the Radicals begin to
congratulate themselves on his disappear
auce from the political arena, he is only
girding himself for fresh onslaught
1t is virtually settled that Tennessee is to
have a convention to frame a respectable
constitution for the State. To this it is said
Mr.. Johnson will certainly be seat as del
egate, as no combinations of schemng poll
ticiaps can stock the cards on him in pop
ular election. A Nashville correspondent
of the Louisville Courier-JOurnat, writing
that paper on Tennessee politics, and allud-
ing to the determination of the people Of
his county to send him to the constitutional
convention, thus speaks of Mr.. Johnson and
his political prospects:
The people of his county want him to be
their delegate, and be is not the man who
refuses to sacrifice his private interests tol
the public good, 80 he will go to the coaven
ton and help fix up the constitution. Dc
will have friends in the convention, and the,
will press him, and he will press himself fo
presiding officer. Then will come the tut
of war, and clangor Of resounding skull!
There will be no peace for the wicked, an
the righteous will be pretty well stirred "
There will be pulling, hauling, and sweatlu,
and swearing, aud caucusluk, aud arguiu.
and mud throwing, and OBTAINING, and bu
lying, and Dragging, and clustering, au
brow beating, and betting, and buying, al
bambooziing, and bentering, to get him c
the track, but the more they try to get hi
off the more he will stay on. That ia o.
Of Johnson's little pecularities.
