Nearly all Crockett's constituents were strong Jackson-men.
Crockett, who afterward opposed Jackson, subsequently said, speaking of his views at that time: "I can say on my conscience, that I was, without disguise, the friend and supporter of General Jackson upon his principles, as he had laid them down, and as I understood them, before his election as President." Alluding to Crockett's political views at that time, his guest writes, "I held in high estimation the present Administration of our country.
To this he was opposed.

His views, however, delighted me.

And were they more generally adopted we should be none the loser.

He was opposed to the Administration, and yet conceded that many of its acts were wise and efficient, and would have received his cordial support.

He admired Mr.Clay, but had objections to him.
