Determination
After the death of Andrew Jackson the following conversation is said to have occurred between an Anti-Jackson broker and a Democratic merchant:
MERCHANT (with a sigh) - "Well, the old General is dead."
BROKER (with a shrug) - "Yes, he's gone at last."
MERCHANT (not appreciating the shrug) - "Well, sir, he was a good man."
BROKER (with shrug more pronounced) - "I don't know about that."
MERCHANT (energetically) - "He was a good man, sir. If any man has gone to heaven, General Jackson has gone to heaven."
BROKER (doggedly) - "I don't know about that."
MERCHANT - "Well, sir, I tell you that if Andrew Jackson had made up his mind to go to heaven, you may depend upon it he's there."
