January 2, ?. 29. 3t3 FROM THE LUX1NGTO.N (k?.) BULLETIN. Davy Crocket, 'a Tennessee Member of Con gress. The facetious Mr. K. of Ohio, tells a good story, in which his Congressman from the wild woods of Tennessee, figures as the hero. The reader is to suppose Davy returned from the first session he had thojionor of represent ing the people in Congress. He is to suppose further, that Davy has fallen in with a number of his constituents at a raising, and is giving them an account of his visit to the President : 4 The first thing I did, said Daw, 4 after I got to Washington was to. go to the President's. I stepped into the President's house, think's I who afeard ? IfldicTntl wish I may be shot. Says I, Mr, Adams, I am Mr.- Crocket, from Tennessee. So, says he, how do you do, Mr. Crocket ? and he shook me by the hand, altho" he know'd I went the whole hog for Jackson. If I dicTnt I wish I may be shot. Not only that, but sent me a printed ticket to dine with him. I've got it in my pocket yet: If Ihav'nt I wish I may be shot. (Here the printed ticket was exhibited for the admiration of the whole com pany.) I went to dinner, said Davy, and 1 walked round the long table, looking for some thing that I lik'd. At last I took my seat jist beside a fat goose. And I helped myself to as much as I wanted. But I had'nt took three bites when I looked away up the table at a man they called Tash (Attache.) He -was talking French to a woman on t'other side of the table. He dodged his head, and she dodged hers, and then got to drinking wine across the table. If they dioVnt I wish I may be shot. But when I looked back again, my plate was gone, goose and 111. So I jist cast my eyes down t'other end of the table, and sure enough I seeM a white man walking off with my plate. Says I, hell lo, Mister, bring back my plate. He fetch ed it back in a hurry, as you may suppose, and when he set it down before me, how do you think it was 1 Licked as clean as my hand. If it wasrnt I wish I may be shot. Says he, what will you have, sir ? And, says I, you may well say that, after stealing my goose. And he be gan to laugh. ' If he did'nt I wish I may be shot. Then, says I, Mister, laugh if you please, but I donH half like such tricks upon travellers ; if I do I wish I may be shot. I then filled my plate with bacon and greens, and whenever I looked up or down the table, I held my plate with my left hand. If I did' nt I wish I may be shot. When we were all done eating, they cleared every thing off of the table, and took away the table cloth ; and what do you think 1 There was another table cloth under it. If there washt I wish I may be shot. Then I saw a man coming along, carrying a great glass thing, with a glass handle below, something like a candlestick. It was stuck full of little glass cups, with something in them that looked good to eat. Says I, Mister, bring that thing here. Thinks I lets taste 'em first. They were mighty sweet and good, and so I took six of 'em. If I dioVnt I wish I may be d dS GAPTXOXfS Of the Luiirs enacted by the General Assembly of North Carolina, at its Session in 1828-29.
