Mr.Verplanck, of New York, testified as follows: "I dined at the President's, at the time alluded to, in company with you, and I had, I recollect, a good deal of conversation with you.
Your behavior there was, I thought, perfectly becoming and proper.
And I do not recollect, or believe, that you said or did anything resembling the newspaper-account." Two other members of Congress were equally explicit in their testimony. During Crockett's first two sessions in Congress he got along very smoothly, cooperating generally with what was called the Jackson party. In 1829 he was again reelected by an overwhelming majority.
On the 4th of March of this year, Andrew Jackson was inaugurated President of the United States.
