Who work the contemptible fantoccini who gesticulate to the Ephesian hubbub of 'greatness' I neither know nor care, but it is simply out of credence that their motions are spontaneous. Expede Herculem. I will take a solitary story from Mr. Crockett's 'Stickit Minister.
But his little mustang was not at all disposed to move in that direction; neither did the other horses seem disposed to acquiesce in such a plan. Crockett's heels were armed with very formidable Spanish spurs, with prongs sharp and long.
Two other members of Congress were equally explicit in their testimony. During Crockett's first two sessions in Congress he got along very smoothly, cooperating generally with what was called the Jackson party. In 1829 he was again reelected by an overwhelming majority. On the 4th of March of this year, Andrew Jackson was inaugurated President of the United States.
People got to know that Manderson would never do the obvious thing, but they got no further; the thing he did do was almost always a surprise, and much of his success flowed from that. The Street got rattled, as they used to put it, when known that the old man was out with his gun, and often his opponents seemed to surrender as easily as Colonel Crockett's coon in the story.
It would seem, from David Crockett's autobiography, that in his childhood he went mainly without any clothing, like the pappooses of an Indian squaw. These facts of his early life must be known, that we may understand the circumstances by which his peculiar character was formed. He had no instruction whatever in religion, morals, manners, or mental culture.
When I'm runnin' a real tryer, I'm generally runnin' something very near a winner, you bet; and this time, mind this time, I'm runnin' the certainest winner I ever run and I don't often make a mistake. You back him." "I shall, if you're as sure as that. But who is he?" "Oh, Crockett's his name Sammy Crockett. He's quite a new lad. I've got young Steggles looking after him sticks to him like wax.
I got from the boat four barrels of meal, one of salt, and about ten gallons of whiskey." For these he paid in labor, agreeing to accompany the boatmen up the river as far as their landing-place at McLemone's Bluff. Life on the Obion. Hunting Adventures. The Voyage up the River. Scenes in the Cabin. Return Home. Removal of the Family. Crockett's Riches. A Perilous Enterprise.
Crockett replied, "I live at least forty miles from any white settlement." Here the matter dropped. About ten days after Crockett's return home, a stranger, passing along, stopped at Crockett's cabin and told him that he was a candidate for Legislature, and took from his pocket a paper, and read to him the announcement of the fact.
I kin rattle off odd sayings and big words picked up at Fourth-of-Julys and barbecues and big meetins, but when you begin to fire off your forty-pound bomb-shell book-words, I climb down as suddent as Davy Crockett's coon. Maybe I do speak unbiguously, as you say, but I was givin' you the biggest talkin' I had in the basket.
Crockett a Reformer. The Bee Hunter. The Rough Strangers. Scene on the Prairie. Crockett's return to his home was a signal triumph all the way. At Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Louisville, crowds gathered to greet him. He was feasted, received presents, was complimented, and was incessantly called upon for a speech. He was an earnest student as he journeyed along.
