When General Jackson's administration commences,
and the confidence ofthe party and IN two years they
will be re-ceoted printers to Congress-. Here is an
honest confession, and yet this talks of bis dsn
terested devotion to the PRESIDENT"
Green opposes a denial to the Licutenunts anec-
dote, calculated from its phraseology, provoke the
latter to his proof, if not to produce second
ofthe political farce 1t is in the following words:
"fui6 onecdote purports 10 DC OH the authority OF

should be used. More-it 10 said TO have transpired
in the presence Of two or three Members Ifso the
Leutenant can prove it's truth. We pronounce it
TO be wilful, deliberate IJLlE.CI without the sha

that any single member Of Congress will father

Webb insists upon it that Green is opposed to the
second election Of the Ilero-that in March last he
actually set mp the standard of another, Mr. Calhoun,
saying "that tho measures of Gen. Jachsons admin
istraion were not sufficiently developed to authorize
his renomination.'' The credit Of driving the Gene
raj from this ground, and whipping him back into N
Republican ranks the Lieutenant assumes to him,
SELF ascribing at tho same time, interested motives
TO Green, in renouncing his opposition to the Heros
reelection, and abandoning the purpose of running
Mr. Calhoun. He thus concludes some structures
Upon this part of Duff's conduct.
ct idle and weak is idle for him to deny
that he opposed the reelection of the General His
object Is to get buck into the party, regain the
confidence of the Administration, and if possible TO
be reelected printer to Congress. We do not find
fault with his motives and wishes because if tho pa
~ are again willing to trust who has proved
himself as void of COMMON sense, he is of princi-
pie why so DO it-but VIC will not suffer him to crawl
back into our ranks by fasehood and special plead
ing No-he must admit his errors, repent of bic
tergiversations, and humby for pardon lie must
come to tchitetDashed at least, If purified and

watched, and closely lest he should again endea-
vor to SOW dissentions among u.s."
