eminent qualities for leadership gain
ed for him, in 1S42, The Democratic
nomination for Congress. The State
was :hen strongly Whig, but he gave
his opponent, Hon. John w. Hous' on.
such a tight contest that the Ia ter was
elected by only a small majority, some
eight or ten votes.
Afterwards he took a protracted
trip through Texas and other South
