The Hon.

Judge Clayton, of Georgia, was present, and make a speech which, as Crockett says, fairly made the tumblers hop.
Crockett was then called up, as the "undeviating supporter of the Constitution and the laws." In response to this toast, he says, "I made a short speech, and concluded with the story of the red cow, which was, that as long as General Jackson went straight, I followed him; but when he began to go this way, and that way, and every way, I wouldn't go after him; like the boy whose master ordered him to plough across the field to the red cow.

Well, he began to plough, and she began to walk; and he ploughed all forenoon after her.

So when the master came, he swore at him for going so crooked.

'Why, sir,' said the boy, 'you told me to plough to the red cow, and I kept after her, but she always kept moving.'" His trip to New York was concluded by his visiting Jersey City to witness a shooting-match with rifles.
