OF every opportunity to repel and refute The ca.

The question Is, how will the original friend,
ofMr. Crawford act, when Mr.. Van Buren, and
Mr. Calhoun enter the field as competitors for the
prize' The "sgns of the times" show that
the friends of the two gentlemen are areaty
breinning 10 look upon each other with jesi'
ousy. True, some Of the most cunning of then
are endeavoring TO produce concer, OF action
in The next election among the Jacksoni,es, w
holding Mr.. Clay in ierJo5em over their head.
Bat, unfortunately for them, two obstacles
stand in the way. The party cannot be Undue,
ed TO unite on either /; and, If they can, which
of the rivals will quit the turf ? No one who
knows any thing Of the restless ambition Of
John c. Calhoun can suppose that he wilagan
surrender his pretens Sns-once before posipo-
ned to make room for Gen. Jackson. And, as
for the Great Magician" as Mr.. Van Buren,
has been styled, he knows too well bis strength
in the South, to say nothing Of The overwhelm-
ing vote OF New York, to give way o his oppo.
nen'. There is no possibility Of producing coz.
cert of act ion.
We have made these remarks for the purpose
Of introducing the two subjoined extracts The
first is from tue N. Y. Courier and Enquire
(of which paper Mr.. Moan is one Of the Edi
tors and the second is from the MilIedge
vile Journal" one Of the ablest papers in Geor
gia, and, in point Of influence, occupying pref
ty much the same ground in hat State that the
Enquirer formerly did in Virginia. These eI
tracts show two thngs-ls that Duff Green
is regarded BY such of his own party as know
him as an impudent upstart and iniscreant; |
and. 2dly, that as Calhoun purchased the Tel |
egraph, and gave it start, il is Duff's duty to
commence the assault upon Mr.. Van Buren,
attacking such Of the Jackson editors as arc
known TO prefer that gentleman.
Ii Mr.. Noah do not lose the Office to which
he was recently appointed by Gen. Jackson, fOf
permitting Duff to be so roughly handled inhH
columns, he may consider himself lucky fsl
