That Mr. Breckinridge received the planiits OF his
friends goes without saying. In his own estlHiau"i
he left the field no doubt believing that he had done
up' the Speaker.
Not quite SO selfsat!sfed seemed his friend Rogers

from Kentucky had played him rather shaOby trcR
in taking the wind Of his sails under the breezy
pretence Of being betrayed into speech; whue II
