It is a uif. takejf 3 auppethaf tberwcia-t thi reconitutnilation is wuln.ut 4cree ' lent. The constitution of Connecticut prescribes this very mode of making al terations in that instrument. The State of .iliijantft in effect, though not in words, confirms it by her own char ter, whilst the States ol South' Carolina, Maryland and Delaware recognize the same right in substance by . allowing changes to be made in their Couatiiu lion bv the vote of two successive le gislatures the auieudiuenla beitrgpsb nshed and an election by the people having intervened. Tnusit is demon strated that this plan for amending the Constitution is not liable to any objec tion on riicyje Since our Constitution is silent as to dte mode of proposing amend nents to it, the people -are free to adopt any course whit h is consistent with the pi iaciples of a popular goverTiiiient and the practi. n of the AmericanSutes. If this mode of reform is proper in it self, there are some. views ,f its- cxpedi tncy which give it peculiar claims on our consideration. Much difficulty will be experienced in determining sf ter what manner and upatt what basis the people should be represented in a Convention called for the reform .of an existing constitution, and it ia not un worthy uf our "notice " that whilst this would cost nothing, a Cortrenton will rreata some charge upon the Public Treasury. Those who entertain anv real fears of a Convention ought not to-; objeci to this)!riruporithe ground of zxptaicHcy, as inry win pe tnus shielded against all dngers except " the will of a majority," and even that will be re stricted to an aye or not upon whatev er the ruling mmority shall consent to put forth tor public sanction. The rights of the minority, will be protect ed against encroachment by the over balancing power they have in the Le gislature, that prepares the amendments to be submitted snd the rights of a ma jority are sife i their own hand be cause they will not approve of amend ments by which they will be made worse of than they are now. What theo are the objections urged against it? It is said to be novel in practice and principle & fsr too easy in its execution. V have shown already that t; is Hot. novel in principle nor it is without pre cedent ia , practiceMha xperienceof. 20 yeara might convince us that it i not so easy of execution; for our Coo itat'wB was ritiM in .

WILLIAM H IIYWUiD.Jr UICHMtl) M. PEAK SON, KOyiULUS V. SAUNUEUS, THUVIaS DEWs, J Committee. June It, 1S33. John Ran lolph o(,Mticuuke. .The following sketch of this distinguished orator, written .thirty years ago, but never published, is furnished by a gen tleman who lias been in habits of inti macy with Mr RKDOLeii-jiec since It was written off-liand after residing witn in n in the same hotel at ueorge town, for some weeks, in a constant, familiar intercourse, which has contin ued at intervals until the period of his decease. ,lne writer bears his testi mony that nothing in the lite and con duct of Mr. Randolph, during all their subsequent acquaintance, gave , him occasion to believe for a moment that his early impressions of his character were in the slightes degree erroneous. jV. ' Y. Courier A- F.nnuirr Mr. Randolph is beyond comparison I most-singular and striking person the i have ever met with. As an orator he nsiinnuctrraablT the firsFfiTthTs coun try, Si yet there are few men who fabor under so many physical disadvantages. He seems made up -of contradictions. I'hough his person is exceedingly tall, thin, and disproportioned, he is the most graceful man in the world and with an almost feminine voice he is more distinctly beard in the House than either Mr, D - or Roger . though the former is more noisy than a field preacher, and the latter tnof e vbciferous than a crier of bvsters: When seated on the opposite side of me nan ot congress, Mr. Randolph looks, like a youth of sixteen; but when he rises to speak, there is an almost sublimity ia the effect proceeding from ther singular -contrast "in his height when seated orstanding. In the for mer his shoulders are raised, his bead depressed, bis body bent in the lat ter he is seen with - his figure dilated iA the attitude of inspiration, lis head JT. lOg irgntnioz ai me ouicci vi un vi- whetminr-iarcasin. A-$!r. iUndolpblooksAcU an J speaks like no other jnao I hav'e ever seen. tie is original, unique ra every thing. His style of oratory is emphatically his own. Often dilfusive and discur-ive-iB"ttie subjects,- bis language is simple, brief and direct, and however he .may seem to wander from the point occasional iy ne never iaiis io rem to it with a bound, illuminating it with flashes of wit, or the happiest illustra tions drawn from the sources of a re tentive memory, and a rich imagina tion. 1 hough eccentric in his conuuci I : .u. . ov. ..n;r ml hi w-uk wu f u. .x. interrourse with the world, there will be found more of what Js called-ooin-m n " sense jn his speeches than in ihwse ofBy -other niacin Congress. His illustrations are almosfalwayv drawn from the most familiar sources, and no man is so happy in allusion to failles, proverbs, and the ordinary in cidents of human life, of which he has been a keen observer. His is not that fungous species of eloquence which ei rpand itself into empty declamation sacrificing strengh, clearness and per? spicuity to the more popular charm of redundant metaphors, and periods rounded with all the precission of the compass. Mr. Randolph is a roan of wit, and wit deals in Comparison; yet his language is perfectly simple and less figurative than that of any of our distinguished speakers. Tins I attri bute to the clearness and vigor of his conceptions. When a man distinctly comprehends his subject, he will ex- . . .... wkhout metaphor; but when he is in capable of giving it a precise and de ' finite form, his language: becomes figu rative,, and .his. ideas like, objects seen through a mist have neither outline nor dimensions.- Nothing isof more easy comprehension than the ideas and Ian guage oflhereat orator of A'irginia. Though continue 1 fy worned "by the little terriers of the house, who seem to be sent there for uo other purpose than to bark at him, Mr. Randolph never becomes loud or boisterous, but utters the most biting sarcasm with, a manner the most irritatingly courteous, and in a voice that resembles the music of the spheres. Such, jndeeijj js jhe wonderful clearness of his voice, and the Mf foctloii of his enunciation, that hja io west, tones circulate like echoes Abr9u.gkt!ie JjiaU.oL JCnjjreas a nd are more ' distinctly understood " than the roarings of Mt L , the bellow- ings.4f R -N , or thebieattngs of the rosy and Stentorian Robert Ross. In all the requisites of a great orator he has no superior, and in the greatest of alt, that of attracting, charminjE, riv iting the attention of his hearers, no e qual in this country or perhaps in the world. Mr. Randolph has fared as most !is tinguished political leaders have done, in liaving lu cnduct misrepresented, h;s foibles exaggerated, and his pecu iijrittes catifjtuied. The fault is in soiutf. iiijmu re. nrs. ou ii ... He. Sures no oi.ri3iijr. iuirj ,ie nas norigni to cx- f pverTiwiy-wiwHNbHtt irr -this Te- SjUict :w-. fA'M j-le - mty- -wel I be a .warning., ta ." UA-uLciiti? ..among, rival leaders the 'necessity i.f toleration, iu politics as we'li a, religion." Tiiat lie is irritable, capivi m ., and careless of the feelings of t.i(.e f..r wmini he has no particular respect or regai'd, no one will deny. Tnit he is in patient in argument and intolerant of opposition, is equally .cei'tam, and the whole w.irtd kniiws that he is little solicitous to disguise ..is contempt or dislike. But much ol this peevisTi irritability Inay r fi:nl ns origin and excuse in his physical suf ferings. Almost from his uoyhoud he has never known the blessing of health, nor ever enjoyed " Us anticipation. His constitution is irretrievably bro ken; and though he may live many years, they, will, in all. probability, be years of anxiety and sufterinir imbitter- 'd by the ridicule, instead of soothed by ttte sympathy of the .world, whiclt is. ever apt to suppose that a man can not be sick without dying. - Men ling ering under the slow "consuming tyran ny of a constitutional infirmity, and dying, not by inches, but the hun- .1 i.i. . :e i uicuiii iri ci incnes, seem to me among the most pitiable of the human race. The world, and even their friends, come at last to believe their malady Imaginary, their complaint's without cause. They grow tired of hearing a man always proclaiming himseit a victim to disease. -ret .at the. MmeTTmeTaliiHgTns share in the busi. Bess .and apparently in henjtyroents of life, and living on like the rest of nis leiiow creatures. They jest at scars that never felt a wound,"" and the ery circumstance that should excite additional commiseration-1- too nften gives occasion to cold neglect, or tlippantridicule. In this painful Mtuation is Mr. Randolph at present, and it seems to me, that an apology, at lenst, for his selfish disregard of the feelings of Others, maybe found in his qwh -hope less sufferings, and the want of sympa thy. I know of no . situation more calculated to make a man a misan thrope; and those who are foremost and loudest in their conde Mr. Randolph would do well to look mio utir own -hearts, --plac them selves in his sitution. and thr. .a. jiiiiiMT noi lustily, occasional irritation, or even habltu&l ill tm..

U.s ueatiueut uf servants, amt espjtcily3itatoa the kindest master, and he always call ed his personal , attendant 'Johnny, a circumstance to my mind strongly in.nr.iive "of habitual fiood will to ward him. .-. To me, from whose admi ration or applause he could, at Uiat time at least, anticipate" neither hon our or advantage, hi behaviour was uniformly k nd. almost affectionate, and it will be very long beforftf; lose the recollection of his conciliating smile, the music of his mellow voice, or the magic of his gentle manners. We nassed our eveninsis together, or, 1 may pdthaps ratuer say, a good portion of the night, for he loved to sit up late, because, as he was wont ta say, thegrave, not the bed, was the place of rest for hrjoTlecainonr there was a charm in his conversation I never found in that of any other person. Virginia was the goddess of his idolatry, and of her he delighted to talk. He loved her so- much, and so dearly, that he sometimes almost forgot he was also a citizen of the UnTted States. --The glories and tri . i t umphs of the eloquence ot ratrick Henry, and the ancient hospitality of the aristocracy of the Old Dbminiou, were alsomong has favorite subjects, of which he never tired, and with which he never tired me. In short, the ira gression rpn mj ..inintJ j.Jhever t..0.' Vr'aaJTtfiatnw'nl open and kind, and that his occasional ebullitions of spleen and impatience were the spontaneous, perhaps irre- TressiMreirarTi bilitated frame, to relieve itself a mo ment from the eternal impression of its Qwn'uncPasing"worryiHg But, whatever ftiav be the defects of Mr. : 1lan(1o1plis"temperh juetiotr his high and lofty in'dpen' dence.oLD'ind, orchis unsullied integri ty as a public agent or a private gentle man. :-Irt the farp charactci -be fca never abandoned his principles to suit any political crisis, and in the latter, he may be emphatically called an hon est man. . His word and his -bond are equally to be relied on; and as his country can never accuse him of sacri ficing her interests to his own ambition, so no, jmaa can justly, charge him ..with the breach of any private obligation.. In both these respects he stands an illustrious example to a .country in which-political talents are much, more common man ponTicannTegrrty, anxr where it is too much the custom to forget the acrions-of a- man in our ad miration of his speeches. It is with great regret I add, that this brilliant man, who lias already at tracted the attention, not only of his countrymen, but of the' world, will, in all probability, survive but a few years. His health appears irretrievably lost,; and his constitution irreparably in jured. A preinaturedecay seems gradually creeping upon all his vital powers, and an inevitable unseen in fluence appear to be dragging him to the era ve A t the age tit hirtr, with a U JhjtttUl4ilMj his possession, mid glory and power in perspective, be us, in coiistiiuti.nl, an infirm old man, -with 4ight glossy hair, parted .over his forehead ami lid .loosely b'.-hind with a blac k i i i'i.i i l J teeth white as ivorv; an eye s;i .ii'uj with intellect; and a c.tunteii.ic.t-. si-auied wit'u a ti.a . ti su.i;!i wriu- Sues.

His opponent sometimes insinuate that he is mad; but this is nothiug more than the whis perings of party malignity. .
