jackson In Triumph.

After the battle Of New Orleans, says
Thomas e. Watson In his magazine,
when the victor had been crowned with
laurel in the cathedral and acclaimed
like a demigod through the streets, it
was Of his mother that he spoke to the
officers whom he was about to disband
their glorious work being done.
Gentlemen, If only she could have
lived to see this day!" As you follow
the narrative Of Andrew .Jackson's ca
reer, you will hear him say many
things that you will not approve, will
see him do many things which you
cannot applaud, but when you re-
call that. at the very top notch of his
success and his pride his heart stayed
in the right place and was sore because
his mother could not be there to glad
den her old eyes with the glory Of her
son you will forgive him much in his
life that was harsh and cruel and ut
terly wrong.
