reiteratng with increased effect the obiurgations he
had used against Henry Clay. But did he do so?-
On the contrary, he struck at once, with the depre-
catory observation to Green "let there be no str,
between thee and me-" However then, Duff may be
deceived as to his capacity of making or unmalng
Presidents, or spower of debating its policy to any
Administration, his vanity has not misled him upon
the point of his being held in awe by many of his
coadjutors. How republican land he familiarly
styles the republican purity, partly these notions
of making whom he pleased, President, and debating
what policy he pleased to the aiminsiration-we saw
how republican these notions and consistent with the
