unanimty and enthusiasm which has had parallel

the representatives of the democratic people prompt
and unanimous would have been the action of the
people themselves had they exercised the power delegated
to the Legislature There were no conflicts to be

and governor of Tennessee. In 1851 partisan legsa
ture cgated him out Of Congress by adding to his dis
tct wing votes enough to make the majority Of that
party apparently mpregnable This action but transfer

him governor at the next election and gave the demo-
cratic party in the State perhaps the only leader who
could have crushed acknowledgment to the earth in

joy of twelve thousand which the per-
