(Jen Andrew Jackson, and of the principles which Jackson John Quincy Adams was president at the time, and Crockett had no sympathy with him or his political principles. Crockett took very little part in the debates during the first session.

He was reelected in by an overwhelming majority, and Jackson was elected President the same year, so Tennessee had two "Hons" In Washington. But Crockett began to drift away from lien Jackson and Ills policies. The latter demanded obedience to his will In all things, and Crockett would not sacrifice his conscience for any man. He opposed Jackson's Indian bill on principle. It was a favorite measure with the President, and Crockett was assured that unless he supported the bill he would never be elected to congress again.

He said that the holdings of Morgan and Rockefeller were insignificant com-tared with those of the residents of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut and the trust companies and banks In these states where the peo-nel put their savings. lie paid a high tribute to Pres Mel-len of the road, and said that the directors of the company were chosen not because oi their holdings, hut because they had demonstrated their abilities to do tilings and conduct a large business successfully. He said that the Idea that the officers of the corporation desired to treat the public unfairly was all rot and nonsense, as they realized that the success of their road depended upon the good will and the patronage of New England merchants and the traveling public.

Mr Byrnes declared that the interests of the public and the corporation were mutual. The road cannot prosper unless New England Is prosperous, he said, and he hoped to see one great New England railroad system run by New England men and capital with its headquarters at Boston.
