grnph.-The quarrel between these leaders OF

great bitterness and asperity, and is an appro.
pirate prelude To the glorious battle which will
be fought by the subalterns Of The pariy, as
soon as II shall have lost its cement. and the
Rcd Rose and the White be arrayed against each
other All the bitterness which the Jackson
