During that time I had for room-mate one of the mostremarkable men of his age, Dr. Branch T. Archer, to whomallusion has already been made. He was the admitted firstinstigator to revolt against Mexican tyranny in the newlyfledged commonwealth (Texas), and that in a town garrisonedby a thousand Mexican soldiery. He had sent out circulars toevery American settler, within a radius of thirty miles, to be onhand at appointed time with rifle and bowie knife. Some threeor four dozen of the sturdy fellows were there to meet him. Inburning words he told of the wrongs and outrages to which theyoung colony had been subjected by irresponsible satraps andtheir minions, and appealed to their Anglo-Saxon manhood torise on the spot and put an end to the crying shame of whitemen longer submitting to the sway of mongrels and mulattoes.
Without my knowledge she had previously disposed of herwedding jewels in order to bridge over pressing necessities andmake both ends meet at home, whilst extending a helping hand toher still more needy friends and neighbors. All this was done inthe seclusion of quiet country life, and without the slightestattempt at parade or ostentation. It may well be questionedwhether in those dark days of long suffering by our brave, noble,heroic women, any bore the inevitable hardships of the dreadordeal more uncomplainingly than she; and yet she was, as itthen stood, of foreign and hostile lineage, inured to all thecomforts and luxuries of life, within her reach at any time toresume. If marital veto had been interposed, ground would havebeen broken for ninety-and-nine full-fledged divorce suits in theregions of thoughtless marriage and loose morals. God bless herinnocent, simple soul! She never thought of availing herself ofsuch a glorious opportunity. In her plain and simple faith, vowswere vows to her, whether pledged to an unworthy husband orto the God of John Wesley, in whose faith she lived and died.She died June 15, 1883, having been the mother of four children,three of whom still survive her.
Yes, they should be held extenuate for risking their lives forwhat they believed to be right, inasmuch as the Constitutionwith correct annotation by competent commentators was avolume virtually of the expurgatorious order, neither to betouched, tasted, handled, swallowed, or discussed, for fear ofdread contamination, subjecting the presumptions culprit tosocial purgatorial penalty. And so the edict went forth to all thenurseries, schools and colleges, in the regions where they wereborn and bred; this thing must be eschewed except byprescription of Dr. Story. No wonder that under the almostexclusive indoctrination of this immaculate Constitutioninterpreter and amender these honest, but misguided youths, likehundreds of thousands besides, were ready to risk their lives onwhat they believed to be right; and as little wonder, that theothers were prepared to lay down theirs for what, under betterincultation, they knew to be right. We were all good friendsthen, although there were slumbering and latent feeling ofdistrust and unrest, all realizing that ere long they would have tobe cutting each others' throats.
Upon the expiration of my first term in Congress my namewas brought before the nominating convention for re-election,and won through without difficulty; election followed by sometwenty-five hundred majority, or five times what it was twoyears previously. On resuming seat for the second term, Irented a private residence at the corner of Sixteenth and Q.Streets, belonging to my old friend, General Innis Palmer, of theUnited States Army, where with my children and servants Ilived a very quiet life for the two years to follow, and where myoldest daughter, then Mrs. Pembroke Jones, kepthouse for me. Other measures followed in the way ofpresentation, some with ultimate success, but not worthrecapitulation.
DEAR SIR: - I send you herewith my contribution to thelong list of telegrams of condolence, which are being publishedon the occasion of Mrs. Davis' obsequies. Sure I am thatnone that has gone forward is more genuine in heartfeltsympathy, for it was my proud privilege to know and love, and,as I flatter myself, to have been loved by her and her immortalhusband for over half a century, as numerous letters,mementoes and keepsakes abundantly attest; and I hesitate notto say that, taken together, they were the most extraordinarymarried couple, intellectually and in other exalted attributes, thatit has been my blessed prerogative to haveknown. Blessed are we amongst the short-lived nations of theearth, or the long-lived either, to have had our nationalautonomy illustrated by such an official head in connubio.Aurelius, worthiest of monarchs that the world has known, wasmated to Faustina, but this was a perfect couple in all regards.
