ANDY'S INTENTIONS. Ex President and "Senator Andrew Johnson was interviewed the other day by a correspondent ' of the New York Tribune' In reply to a question as to his future course--whether he would act with the Republicans or the Democrats, he said: - 'I can give no pledge - as to my ,; fur ture course. I cannot say that I will act with one party or with the other. We haye had too much of "party, and I propose to', bind myself in advance to no theory, of party policy. I have never done so. in the past, and I do not intend to do so in the future. I shall support such measures as appear , to my own judgment best for the counw try, caring not whether it is a ! Demo cratic measure or whether it is sup ported by Republicans. We have bad ton much of parties. - They : haye ran the government quite too long alrea dy, and they have wellnigh destroyed it. It is time- for the people to take hold. The shackles . of party have caused incalculable mischief, and un til the people throw them off we will have, no conscientious and unselfish government. - Caucuses and conven tions are only the tools of managing politicians; the. people have nothing to do with them. I will never place myself in a position where I must do a thing because it is a party measure, or oppose a thing at a party 's dicta tion. I place the country, above party, and I hope to live to see : the time when the people will cast off the yokes as they did in 1828 when they elected Andrew Jackson. To a ques tion as to his reported intentions of paying off old scores by recourse to the mass of facts in his possession damaging to the leaders of the parties of to day, Mr. Johnson replied : What ever I may have I do not v say, but I shall use nothing. My service in the Senate will not be a personal one. I do not represent myself, but Tennes see. The country has ' now nothing to do with my personal matters, and with what has passed. I ' have no enemies 'to punish,' nor friends to reward." (1 have buried resentments, and have forgotten the ill-treatment of individuals. If I can perform ' the duties that are now before me as con scientiously and clearly as I see them at this moment, I shall accomplish as much as human vanity , may seek , to attain." H'-'V'-.-V " ' " v Whenever a man :' is going to do something mean in politics he invari ably holds just such . converse as the foregoing. Just .before the last politi cal campaign in this State, - we heard numbers of men advancing such ex tra vagently patriotic sentiments, and we were not surprised to see them a few weeks afterward announced a3 -n 1 lnaePenI8nl 1? la gay and festive Tsetof patriots"; tooj were they not?. Aged Shylocks, whose every cent had been wrung fronii; the widows . tears and - orphan's cries! whimpering about the rights of " the poor people," youthful spendthrifts preaching publie economy and pleadt ing their individual- self-inflicted pov4 erly, shoddy aristocrats holding . up their hand in holy horror at caste Oh I were they not a bright set ? lAndy Johnson belongs to this selfsacrin-j-cing class. He is always ready to offer himself on the altar of his coun try. 'As General": Leach would' say, Andy Johnson is a 'Joe Bunker,1ij will always be a "Joe Bunker" and nothing else can be made out of him. We should not . be. surprised at all if Andy would consent to be the Repub lican candidate for :.: President- if he considered there was any prospect" of his election.

' . Tennessee must certainly have a "much married" Legislature, or they would never have conceived -of this wholesome conjygsil law. It is to be hoped that the Legislature of North Carolina will follow suit. Men who will not marry, ought to be made to assist ineducating other people's chil dren. It might be well enough to make single men ineligable to hold oihee in the otale.

Af. ter four sessions of the most- exciting character, in which f the ' hall of the House of Representatives was crowded with spectators, they passed at midr night a resolution of, expulsion.., ,The tirst charge made' against me was ' the denial of the- existence , of Almighty Godi i This charge they- ntterly -foiled to sustain: I proved by three' witness es that I not only never denied but always affirmed the existence of a God.
