"The Most Unkindest Cut."
The Telegraph quotes from the Lynchburg Republican with approbation, the following:
—The enquiring reader may ask, where was Mr. Blair, where was Mr. Kendall (Editors of the Globe) when Duff Green, taking his life in his hands ventured forward, and bearded the Lion in his den? They were in Kentucky crying out at every cross road "Hurra for Henry Clay, the Lion of the West!" They were echoing the notes of —t.— in Virginia, (our contemporary is meant) and calling out. "Down with the 'Curse!'" And are those sons of Amalek, to be made elders judging the twelve tribes of Israel!
This from Gen. Duff Green to Mr. Ritchie! Strange mutation!
