Duff Green (August 15, 1791 - June 10, 1875) was an American teacher, military leader, politician, journalist, author, diplomat, industrialist and businessman. In 1826, in Washington, D.C., he bought and later edited, The United States Telegraph, which became the principal organ of Andrew Jackson's backers, helping him defeat John Quincy Adams in the presidential election of 1828. Upon Jackson's election to the presidency, the Telegraph became the principal mouthpiece of the administration. Green became one of the côterie of unofficial advisers of Jackson known as the Kitchen Cabinet on which Jackson depended heavily following the Petticoat affair. In the quarrel between Jackson and his vice president John C. Calhoun, who had also been Adams' vice president, Green supported Calhoun, and through the Telegraph, violently attacked the Jackson administration. In consequence, the Jackson administration revoked its patronage for the Telegraph in the spring of 1831. Green, however, continued to edit The United States Telegraph in the Calhoun interest until 1835, and gave vigorous support to Calhoun's nullification views. [Wikipedia].

In 1825 Duff Green purchased the United States Telegraph and "violently assailed Adams's administration on the 'corrupt bargain' charge, advocating Jackson and reform". As printer to Congress (1829-33), a member of the 'Kitchen Cabinet,' and editor of the Jackson organ, Green became one of the most influential leaders of the Democratic party. He was fearless and independent, however, and opposed Jackson in the Eaton imbroglio and the choice of Van Buren as Jackson's successor. When the break came between Jackson and Calhoun, Green followed the latter (whose son had married Green's daughter), thus losing both his position in the party and the government printing." (DAB VII, 540). This being a supplement to Duff's political organ, voicing his ardent support for Calhoun and reprinting a number of letters and conversations supporting his character; lengthy evidence of the stance that ultimately caused Duff's fall from grace with the Democratic Party and President Jackson.
