TG - "I know about the Burr-Hamilton Duel, what was the other one?"

I can't find the article right now. But I think that it was the election where Polk made a deal with Hayes to defeat Andrew Jackson, the leader in both the popular and electoral counts.

Clay and somebody went off to have their duel. One guy missed and the other misfired. So they called it off and went home.

The part that I am absolutely sure about is that no one got killed.
