Nothing throws such light upon the state of things in the United States in 1800, as the once famous collision between these two natural tories, John Adams and John Randolph, which gave instantaneous celebrity to the new member, and made him an idol of the Republican party.
Their knife-blades came frequently in collision; and for a few passes neither appeared to give or receive a wound.
