The people will remember the man who has given the best days of his life in unceasing effort to improve their condition and elevate them in the scale of being. They cannot forget his efforts to provide every honest poor man with a Home, where he could sit under his own vine and fig tree, and none dare molest or make him afraid. Where he could raise his children, if not in luxury, above the frowns of want—where he could educate his children, and qualify them for the duties devolving upon free men.
The homeless poor man, cannot forget what Andrew Johnson has done for him—he will not forget it, and when the time arrives for the completion of his job—they will join the old tailor and help him.
