- aa L g ! Hutional Bamner. eN N NN NN AR AN NNI NSN DPUEL BETWEEN CLAY AND RANMr. Clay was Secretary of State at the time, Mr. Randolph was.a Senator from Virginia, John Quincy Adams was President of the United States. John Randolph, too prone to believe evil of all men, especially of his political opponents, was persuaded that Henry Clay had gained the offiee he then held by corrupt bargain with the President. He firmnly believed that Mr. Adams had said to Mr. Clay in 1825, when' the _clection of a President devolved “upon ihp House of Representatives : :

- “Make me President, and I will appoint you Secretary of State, and adopt you as my successor.! L T * .+ Thus, believing, it was hard fora man of Mr. Randolph’s unscripulous fluency to avoid betrayirg his belief. = Accordingly, in April, 1827, in the course of one of his wandering, sarcastical harangves, after insinoatiag that Mr. Clay had forged & public docrment, Randolph concluded “with/the following words, in reference to ‘a recent vote: S “After twenty-six hours exertion it was time to give up. I was defeated, horse, footand dragoon—cut up and clean broke down by the coalition of Blifil and Black (icorge—Dy the combination, unheard of till then of the Puritan with the blackTeg!” ] ;

" Blifil and Black George are two char. acters-in Fielding’s celebrated novel of Tom Jones ; Blifil: being a sniviling hypocrite and Black (eorge an audacious robber. - Every one who heard Randolph ‘use these words understood Blifil to be thewords understood Blifil to be the Yankee Presidenty John Quincy Adame, who, however, was no Puritan, but a Unitarian, like his father before him. Black George could be no other than Clay, who early in life was known to bea gambler, as’ most gentlemen of the time were. The passage of Randolpl’s speech relating to the alleged forgery was as follows.“A letter from the Mex*can Minister a¢ Washington, submitted by the Executive to t(he ‘Senate, bore the earmarks of having been mapufactured by the Secretary of State.”’ : gy On reading the report of the most in- | sulting and most unjustifiable speech, | Clay wrote a challenge and sent it by his/ f-iend, General Jesvp. General Jesup called upon Randolph and informed him that he was the bearer of a message from Clay, in consequencg of & recent attack made upon him in the /Senate, both as a private and a public man. i “I am aware,” said General -Jesup, “that no onc has a right to question yon out of the Senate for anything said in debate, unless 'you chose voluntarily to waive your privilege as a member of that body.” | Ay ; Randolph replied that be would never chicld bimself under the protection of the Constitution, and held himself accovnta. ble to Clay. : ' _“lam ready to respoad to Mr. Clay,” said he,” and will be obliged to youif you will ‘bear my note in reply, and in the H?o_u-rsg ”of»_,the day I will look out for a riend. 3 it

General Jesup declined bearing the note, saying that he thought Mr. Raundolph owed it to himself to consult his friends before taking so important a step. Mr. Randolph seized General Jesup's hand, and said: _ “Youarer'ght, sir, Ithank you for the ; suggestion, but as you do not take my note you must not be impatient if you should not hear from me to-day. I now think of only two {riends, and there are circumstances connected with onte of them which may deprive me of his services, and the other is in bad health. ' He was sick - yesterday, and may not be out to day.”— Geueral Jesnp tequested him to take his own time, and bade him good morn ing. This was Saturday, April 1, 1826. Mr. Randolph immediately went to the lodgings of Col. Benton, of Missouri, and upon find'ng him, asked him bluntly, without giving him any reason for the question : ;

“Are you a. blood relation of Mr Clay 1s! Y

“I am,” said C'olonel Benton. f *“That” rejoined Randolph, “puts an end to a request which I had wished to make of yon.” / He then related to Colonel Benton the particulars of the interview with Geperal Jesup, and as he was taking leave he told Colonel Teniha that he would ‘make his bosom the enle depository of an important secret.” He said that he did not intend to fire at Mr. Clay, but meant to keep th's intention a secret, and enjoined ' secrecy upon Col. Beaton until after the duel.— In the couse of the day, Colonel Tatnal, of Georgia, conveyed Mr, ‘Randolph’s acceptance of the challere, which was ¢ouched in the following terms : . : © “Mr. Randolph accepts éthe challenge of Mr. Ciay. At the same time he protesis against the right of any minister of *"ie Executive Government of the United States to hold him responsible for words spoken in the debate as a Senator ‘ from Virginia, in criminat’'sn of such minisister, or the administration under which he shall bave taken office. Colonel Tatnal, of Georging the bearer of thie letter is authorized to arrange with General Jesup (the bearer of Mr. Clay's challenge) the terms of the mectine to which Mr. Randolph is invitcd by that note.” : Sn)ﬁme further co:respondence took place between the parties, relative to the correctness of the report. upon wlﬁch Mr. Clay's action twae founded ! Mr. Randolp. ‘ndmittod {its substantial correctness, He acknowleged that he did apply to the administration the cpithet puritanic—diplomatic—blacklegged adminfistration ; but he peremptorily de clined to give any explanation whatever #8 to the meaning or application of those words, Owing to several causes the duel did not occur until exactly one week after ‘the sending of the challenge, during which the friends of the: partics did all that was possible to promote a reconciliation,/but in vain. Col.. Benton had been for som. time estranged from Mr. Clay, vowﬂqg{-‘t&“s"?amlwﬁﬁcd'l al differences, but on Friday evening, the night before the duel, ho called upon his old friend and politi: cal chief, to show him, ns he says, that thers wim sotßiug: pamaniat in) Kl pesitiag. one in the Houss know of the imponding. s 1 ¢ g et gl DU i‘ 4 um@a r A &” eﬁ!’t* g@\.{kfﬂ;}ﬁ i w,:?,‘w" 'r,) W” ; ‘t*%ﬂ;:?’wg'b~ ‘g;m'?nﬁ? i -1’5“;‘5&313;,;,‘.;15._;‘ ity w;m ﬂwfg‘w.’ﬁ%@w T o 2 YRETORAEE. | % ﬁi,, M;}‘.%&%s

a 8 . s %«f" o ’ T WL hat his personal feelings toward him remained the same as formerly, and that in whatever concerned his life or honor, Mr. Clay had his best wishes, the Secretary of State responded cordially, and st midnight they parted. The next morning Col. Benton ealled upon Randolph—chiefly anxious to learn whether ke still retained his intention notjto fire. He told him, of his visit to Mr. Clay the night before—of the late sitting— the child asleep. —and the unconcious tranquility of Mr.’ Clay. : L Lo ; “I could not help thinking, ndded Col. Benton, “how dign_'ent,”» u?l that might be the next night.” : 4 Mr. Randolph quietly replied as he looked up from writing his will : : “I shall do nothing to disturb the sleep of the child or the repose of the mother.” A few minutes after he sent his man servant to the United States Branch Bank to get nine - pieces of gold, a scarce commadity at that day, as a present. The man soon returned, saying that the bank had nogold. Instantly, the master’s shrill voice was-hear 1-exclaiming : j ‘ “Their name is Legion! and they are liars from the beginning ! Johnny, bring me my horse.” /A few minutes after he was at the bank counter, asking the state of his account, Four thousand dollars was the amount of money which be Bad in the bank, and he asked for it. The ‘teller took up some packages of notes, and politely asked him in:awhat sized n ites lie would have It. “I want nioney !” roared Mr. Randolph. The teller, a little puzzled, said, “Y?ouA want silver 9" ~° : ~ “I want money !" replied the irritsble Senator. { el

The teller, then lifting sonie boxes to the counter, asked him, in his pollte tone, _ “Have’ you acart, Mr. Randalph, to putitint” ] . “That is my business, sir,” said the | Virginian, i g At this moment the cashier came for"ward, ascertained: what Mr. Randolph wanted, and gave him the nine pieces of ‘gold; which he condescended to take and retutned with them to his lodgings.— There he gave Colonel Benton a nnte, re.questing him, if he was killed, to feel in his left breeches pocket, and take out ' this gold. Three of the pieces were for Colonel Benton himself, for a seal, and the other six were to be divided among two other friends for the same purpose. It was about sunset, in a thick forest on the Virginia shore of the Potomae, that the antagonists met to decide their differences by exchange thots, A pistol “was handed to Randolph loaded and set with a hair trigger, and it wae accidentally discharged while the muzzle was pointed to the ‘ground. Randolph was ‘exceedingly mortified at the aceident, “I protested against that hair trigger,” said he. : Clay instantly remarked: “It was clearly an accident,” and every one on the ground confirmed the assertion. 1

Rendolph, it seems, had changed his mind, and was now determined to direct his pistol so if possivle to disable his antagonist without doing him serious inju ry. He came to this determination after hearing that Clay objected to the sbortness of time allowed by the seconds for firing, saying tbat he did not think he could fire his pis‘ol in the time specified. Randolph misunderstood the remark, and considered it indicative of a determination on tle part of Clay to irflict a dangerous wound. ol “He has determined,” hewrote in a Egnciled note to Benton, “to get time to ill me. May I not, then, disable him ? Yes, if I please.” a . The men were placed. The pistols were discharged. Both were remarkably well aimed, and each bullet came within a few inches of its mark. Colonel Benton instantly went forward and offered to ‘meditate between them. Clay then waived his hand s though putting away a tr'fe, and said: ) :

“This is_h child's play. I dem d another fire.”: ; .

Randolph also demanded another exchange of shats. . While the pistols were londing Col. Benton took Randolph aside and implored him to consent to an acconnodation, but he found him restive ‘and irrituble. He evidently regretted having aimed at his antagon’st, and he now explained to Col. Benton why he had done 0. 'He declared thiat he had aimed below Clay's knee;“for,” said he, “it’s no mercy to shoot & man in the knee, ' and my only object was to disable him | and spoil bis aim.” He then ndded in his most impressive manner : “I would not bave seen him fall mortally, or _even doubtfully wounded, for all the land that is watered by the King of floods, and all his tributary streau . ) The men were placed a second time and | the word was given to fire. Mr. Clay's bullet passed through Mr. Randolph's cat, Mr. Randolph raised his pistol and discharged it in the air, and »8 he did so, said : : A : “I did not fire at you, Mr. Clay.” | With these words he advyuced and oft fered lis hand, which' Mr. Clay shook with the cordiality which became Wim. “You owe me a coat, Mr. Clay,” said Mr. Randolph, gaily. b o amglud the debt is no greater,” was Mzi. Clay’s happy reply. :

The pa-ties now returned to the city with light hearts. * On renching his lodgings thé cccentric Randolph took from his pocket the nine pieces of gold and said to the thwce friends for whom he had designated them: el ;0% - “Geutlemen, Clay’s shooting sban't rob you of your seals. lam going to London and will bave them made for you,” And so he did, taking great care, too, to get upon them the correct armorial bearings. On Monday after the duel the a 'tagonists eichanged cards and they remained on tern > of eivlity di -~ 1g the rest of their. lives. Seven. years- after, when Mr. Clay was in the. Senate;;and was ‘exq cted to deliver an important; sprech, poor Randelph, whe 'was near his. end, went to the Senate Clhiamber to hear once more the voice of the great Kentuek- | ian. As Mr. Clay rose to begin I's speech, Mr, Randolph said :

“Help me up, hel’) me up. . Icome here to hear that voice.” When the session was nver, Mr, Clay offered his hand, and they had a brief but cordial * derview, L foms is wg’ﬁﬁ«'ﬁ e, 313, reforunars, 86 revolutiont T "
