Constitutional Whig

From the Globe.

"Mr. BLAIR—Duff Green, in his Telegraph of yesterday, makes statements to the following effect, viz:

'That in 1826, before I espoused the cause of General Jackson, he pledged himself to obtain for me a loan of $1200 to relieve me from pecuniary obligations to Mr. Clay.

That in December, 1827, I "came to Washington and claimed the redemption of" his "pledge," when he "made up for" me "the sum of three thousand dollars, twelve hundred of which," he "advanced himself, upon the understanding that" I should repay it to the gentleman "from whom" he "had borrowed it in Nashville," or as he says in another place, "upon" my "obligation to pay that sum upon" his "note in Nashville."

These statements with the inferences intended to be authorized by them, I pronounce utterly false from beginning to end.

No such pledge was made, or by me asked or thought of in 1826, and if Mr. Green mentioned a loan of money to Col. Johnson, the latter never repeated it to me. Mr. Green was then, and long after soliciting advances of money from Maine to Georgia to sustain his Telegraph; and he had just borrowed money to bring him to Washington and to have predicated any thing upon his pledge of pecuniary aid, would have been as idle as to expect kingdoms upon the promises of a lunatic beggar.

I never claimed of Mr. Green the redemption of any such pledge.

Mr. Green never made up for me "the sum of three thousand dollars," or, if he did, he has cheated others and kept the money himself.

He never advanced a dollar for me, so far as I know or believe, except, possibly, the discount on a note of $800 in the Bank of the Metropolis, at two or three renewals in 1828.

I never knew any thing of his "note in Nashville," never gave an "obligation" to pay such note, nor any part of it, never was security for him or he for me, in any such transaction, and know not to what he alludes, unless it be to the fact, that I borrowed $1200 after he had paid it.

Mr. Green omits dates. If he was in Kentucky when I was sick, it was in September, 1826. I fought the battle and aided in achieving the victory of 1827; and it was in December of that year, that I was in Washington. Where, during those fifteen months, were my "pecuniary obligations to Mr. Clay," from which he now pretends I wished to be relieved as a pre-requisite to my taking the field!

I verily believe, the important political arrangements, Mr. Green pretends to have made in Kentucky, in 1826, are sheer fictions. He was probably there, although I do not recollect to have heard of him. The political movements in Kentucky, during the fall of that year, were induced by causes more weighty than any thing which could be said or done by this miserable "fly upon the chariot wheel"

Perhaps when Mr. Green has emptied his phials, I may go more into detail, and lay bare, if they shall not be already plain, the motives of these ceaseless attacks on me. Mr. Green knows that in his eagerness to connect me with his press in the latter part of 1828, he furnished me with means to prove, whenever I choose to do so, that he himself does not believe the imputations he now seeks to cast upon me.

AMOS KENDALL,

October, 19th, 1831.'
