"A rassle a rassle," their neighbors shouted. "I'd rather give ten bushel o' wheat than miss seein' you fellers take hold o' each other," said Alexander Ferguson. "I would too," said Martin Waddell. So it happened that these friendly giants, each dreading the ordeal, faced each other for a contest. "Now we shall see which is the son of Peleus and which the son of Telemon," Kelso shouted.
Stewart had been adjutant of the Cameron Highlanders during the Crimean War, and was then considered to be the smartest officer in the regiment. When he came to Australia, and took up the runs of Southwick and Telemon, he altered so much that he became known as "Greasy Stewart." When spoken to about it, he would say, "When you are amongst savages, do as savages do."
Before we reached Telemon, the river was a banker, flooding the plains, and compelling us one night to camp on an ant bed, which was the only dry spot we could find. Fortunately, the ants were not of the bulldog breed. We arrived at Telemon about noon of a sweltering hot day, and found Mr.
Him the son of Telemon pierced below the ear with his long lance, and plucked back the spear. Then he fell like an ash that on the crest of a far-seen hill is smitten with the axe of bronze, and brings its delicate foliage to the ground; even so he fell, and round him rang his armour bedight with bronze.
This was more than the Governor could stand, and, amidst the shouts and laughter of the assembled multitude, he left the stand, and declined to meet again, before the people, the young Ajax Telemon of the Whig party. The memory of that campaign will probably never be forgotten in Mississippi.
These were confronted by Forsyth, Benton, and Wright: the wrestle was that of giants. The world, perhaps, never furnished a more adroit debater than John Forsyth. He was the Ajax Telemon of his party, and was rapidly rivalling the first in the estimation of that party. He hated Calhoun, and at times was at no pains to conceal it in debate.
