preston involving the constitutional rights
of my fellow citizens by gentlemen giving
it local application. Such oaths may
not exist in Tennessee. / did not allege
that Mr. Zollicoffer or any other gentleman
had taken such obligations. had merely
expressed my belief that men taking such

lodged that he was elected by foreign votes
