senator full in the face, said; Shelby
when I carried you on that scampern:
sorrel mare. and looked down on you
thought there was not much in you; blu
the Gods truth iS that you nave out
grown your measure
Soon after the removal of the family
from Kentucky General Cullom came u
| Tennessee just as he was entering upor
his career, and settled at Carthage. he
attained success at the par speedily
and was sent to the Legislature. Hence
forth his rise was sure and steady He
went to the state senate, thence to con-
eress and was returned. He made en-
enlies because he was bold and uncom-
promising. The politicians hated and
feared hiln-and that was indeed the
final cause of his defeat. His district
was gerrymandered. John FL. Savage
was placed in opposition, and the politl-
clans supported him with vehemence.
All the aspirants for congress conceived
the idea that there was no hope for
them until he was defeated. He had
| a national reputation, and was at that
| time prominently mentioned for vice
president on the whig ticket. He stood
high in his own district, but the politi-
clans de creed that he should be de-
| feated
After his defeat he was elected clerk
of the house of representatives by a
simple resolution, a thing never known
before, and after serving two terms, re-
| turned to Carthage, where he had resi-
| ded until the war closed and where h
| had a fine estate. Afterward he was
! appointed attorney general Of the Six
| tenth circuit, and removed to east Ten
| nessee In 1876 he ran for congress
against Colonel j. M. Thornburg and
was defeated He then retired to his
home at Clinton, seeking no further po-
itical honors, and resided there until
the day of his death.
Perhaps no man ever rose to such
height in public favor as did General
Culom in the Thirty second congress.
1t was his first term He came late,
some little time after the session had
opened, unknown and with not a friend
in Washington. He took his seat on
the outskirts, feeling friendless, as he
expressed it, and marveling al the turn
of fortune which sent him there. Con-
gress convened In December, 1851. This
