Not the least of his troubles and embarrassments during the trying period preceding his second election was the overzealous advice, persistence, I might say on the part of certain New Yorkers and New Englanders who seemed to think that they had the interest of the Union and the country more at heart than had Mr. Lincoln. Horace Greeley was one of the most troublesome of this lot.
"They will afore they're through." Danbury's face darkened. "I'm afraid you've been overzealous. I won't have a man on board against his will, if I have to sail back to port with him. But once he's decided for himself, I'll be damned if he turns yellow safely." "Ye've gotter remember," said Stubbs, "that they're a pack er liars, every mother's son of 'em.
Those readers who have been brought up in the creed and catechism of the old masters, and swallowed them whole, with no questions, I beg will lay aside traditional prejudice, and regarding every work with reference to neither name nor date, challenge it only with the countersign “good composition.” This will require an unsentimental view, which need not and should not be an unsympathetic one, but which would bare the subject of that which overzealous devotion has bestowed upon it, a compound accumulation of centuries.

In making the original contracts it had been agreed to have a Chinese board with a Chinese chairman, as well as a foreign board.

Though you may mean no wrong to us, yet formality requires that you satisfy our Privy Council of your honesty in coming to our remote country at this particular time.
Then he turned and walked away very slowly, as though his pace might mitigate in some degree the shame of his retreat.

"Hooray fer Andy Jackson!" Andy Jackson! Then I knew.
The South did not regard slavery as an unmixed evil, and hence Southern Presidents had not been overzealous of invoking the severe law against the slave trade. England stood ready to enforce her laws, but then the traders would raise the American flag. This necessitated the exercise of the obsolete right of search of suspected vessels, if anything was to be done.
I agree with him in thinking that young detectives are often overzealous, and run after fantoms originated in their own brains." Lecoq, crimson with wrath, was about to make an angry response when M. Segmuller motioned to him to remain silent. Then with a smile on his face the magistrate replied to the governor.
One of those very "waiting men," for whom Peter entertained such deep distrust, and against whom he had raised his voice in sharp warning, betrayed to his master the plot, the secret of which had been communicated to him by an overzealous convert, whose discretion was shorter than his tongue.
