is one prediction which ho will ha
zard for the comfort of alt Mr.
Randolph's enemies in the lump.
It is, that the time is not very dii.
taht, when it will be proven to the
entire fatistadion of all honed and
rational men, that he has been from
his firft entrance into public life, up
to the prefent period, one of the peo
ple's bed friends. The whole f-r.
cret ot the unexampled jerfceution
w&ich has been raileo; agaiul. him,.,
think such charge upon a public offi

deeply involving the honor of the coun.
try itself, to be advanced on light
grounds. But whenhis own friend and
principal advocate comes belore the na
tional councils, and. states facts that
necessarily go to fix. and fasten false
hood upon him, no blame can rcitt on
me tor merely pointing it ouu I there
fore no longer hesitate to do it.'

Mr. Randolph's late effbrt to induce

, publickly to recommend any particular
course to be pursued in the present
crisis, but gave his ministers' privately
to understand that the anti-commercial
system or Confucius the Younger must
be continued, with, amendments and
additioos. .The people still continue to
