In the memorabJecampaigii cl 184 1, the most hotly contested in the history of Tennessee, Haskell was placed ujKiii the electoral ticket, in behalf of the sage of Ashland. He was iu hi.-t glory, for he entertained the most enthusiastic admiration for Mr. Clay. He canvassed the eutire State and eoruestly and eloquently discussed and defended the great measures of the w hig party. The is- sura were vast and all-absorbiug and called forth the highest eflorta of his intellect: and well and ahly did he discuss them, winning for himself wherever he appeared, golden opin ions and a State-wide reputation. He soon took his position in the froDt rauk of Teunessee orators and at that time few States iu the Union could present a finer array of speaking tal ent on cither side of the political isaues then involved. His eflorts were simp- i ly grand wh'.-thcr regarded in th'-ir loiricst .?Tvatcr."u.nwr ineir veiteiiitut declamation, their inimitable wit their bitter irony," withering sarcasm or hold and astonishing nights of ora tory.
