THE TWO RANDOLPHS!
It is well recollected, that the last day of the late session of congress was distinguished by an unprecedented scene of uproar and confusion in the house of Representatives. Several brief statements of this proceeding have appeared in the different papers of the Union. The National Intelligencer of the 30th ult. with a view to correct any misrepresentations which may have taken place, has reported at full length the proceedings of that day. As it might be tiresome to our readers to wade through this detail, we shall merely insert the speeches of those gentlemen who appear to have indulged most in the language of legislative Billingsgate: The subject of the debate was the repeal of the duty on Salt, when Mr. Findley remarked,
"Though I represent a district which suffers more perhaps than any other in the United States from the duty on salt, yet I confess myself astonished at the manner in which this bill has been brought before us. We have heard on a former occasion much about a cabinet. In this instance no cabinet has been consulted; but the measure has been smuggled in at the last period of the session. Are we sitting here to embarrass the character & credit of the U. S.? I thought the measure had come in on calculation; but I find since that it is founded on miscalculation; and that it is part of the system to throw the gauntlet, to destroy the administration. The people have offered us no petitions to repeal this tax. What have we done? The Mediterranean fund is about to cease, and it is proposed to give up the salt tax for it. This mode of bargaining; this system of corruption I have always been averse to. I voted for the bill, because I thought it came from the treasury department, but instead of this I find it part of a system to embarrass the administration. I will agree to continue the Mediterranean fund, for I am not at war with the government or any part of it. I know I am risking my popularity as much as any man; but I am not afraid of this as I am convinced in a good cause I shall never suffer. There can be no good argument for the motion to adhere but a desire to destroy the administration."
Mr. D. R. Williams:—No man can be more earnestly impressed with the proverbial duty of paying respect to age than myself; but my feelings have never been more hurt than by the gentleman's impeaching the motive of those who have acted a patriotic part. The gentleman has avowed the idea that the committee of Ways and Means have been actuated by the view of embarrassing the administration. I abhor and detest such an imputation.
Here was a loud cry of order by a number of gentlemen, and among others by Mr. Thomas M. Randolph.
Mr. Findley said he hoped that gentleman would be permitted to go on. He wished those who were opposed to the government to speak out.
The call to order was again repeated.
Mr. T. M. Randolph:—I hope we shall adhere to our vote, and I will give my reasons for indulging this hope. I do not profess to be so well acquainted with subjects of finance as some other gentlemen on this floor. But if the Mediterranean fund is to be continued for so short a time, it is obvious that the revenue to be gleaned from it will be proportionably small. The arguments of gentlemen therefore rebut themselves. They declare that they want a great revenue, while they acknowledge that the continuance of this tax will produce but a small one. I hope that we shall keep the Mediterranean fund as a hostage for the salt tax. If between this and the next session a deficiency shall occur in our ways and means, to meet the demands of the government, it will not be the first time as I know it will not be the last, in which I shall step forward to vote a supply to meet every honorable demand. If there shall be a deficit (as there is no reason to believe there will be) I pledge myself as one of those who will meet it. I wish to adhere to our vote, that the Mediterranean fund may be lost; for we have been told by those who I presume are well acquainted on such points, that such a course will enforce economy, and I wish I could add, in the words of an honorable friend who has no longer a seat here, would insure economy. But what has thrown us into this heat? Is it the dinner we have just eaten? I hope no honorable gentleman, who has heretofore kept the noiseless tenor of his way, because we have adjourned for half an hour, has permitted his passions to indulge in an asperity not shown on any
former occasion. I did hope that whatever contumely or hostility may have been manifested during the earlier period of the session, we would have shewn in the last moments of it neither the spiteful temper of age or youth; but that we should have parted like men not ashamed of what we had done, or afraid to meet the public award.
The question was then taken by yeas and nays on adhering, yeas 40, nays 47, as follows:

Nelson, Olin, Pitsick, Quincy, J. Randolph, Rea, Pen. Sammons, S. Smith, Taggart, Talmadge, Tenney, P. R. Thompson, T. W. Thomson, Van Rensselaer, Waithworth, B. R.

Williams—47.
Mr. T. M. Randolph. It is true, as the gentleman says, I have not made much noise this session, and it is as true that he has made more than has been useful. I believe in the present stage of it that the advantage is on my side. I go home with a more contented mind, more tranquil feelings, and I may add also, I believe, a better heart, for not having engaged in the manner he has done, or in the character he has assumed, in the scenes exhibited before me in this house. Between the gentleman from Virginia and myself I acknowledge there is in point of talents an immeasurable distance. I can never hope to attain that intellectual elevation, which he has long since reached. At my inferiority in that respect I do not pine. I am what nature made me, and I am perfectly satisfied with my condition. But although there is this intellectual difference between the gentleman and myself, and the superiority is so great on his part in that point, I maintain that in the point of true patriotism he is my inferior. I do not hesitate to pronounce that myself, and I do not fear the imputation of vanity for so doing. With respect to the usefulness of either to the public, there is no such difference in reality between us as may appear to exist. I insist that the tenor of the gentleman's recent conduct has been such, that, with all his extraordinary powers, and the extraordinary exertion of them he has made, his utility to his country this session has not been superior to mine. The difference between us, in the effect produced by either upon the public affairs, has been, to speak the favorite language of the gentleman himself, the same with that between "aviditas coeli" and "nimius imber" upon the fields. To translate into the language of the gentleman's constituents, my influence on the national prosperity this session has been, when compared to his, what a dry summer is to a fresh, what a scanty crop is to an overwhelming inundation, confounding, sullying, impairing all things. The gentleman made use of the terms "contumely." To this and other offensive terms with an allusion, which as to me, is as unjust as it is insulting. I am sorry to think myself obliged to reply in other language than what I ever expected to use towards him. I have long observed that this gentleman is apt to indulge himself while he has the shield of the dignity of this house extended over him, while he feels he is standing in the centre of this sacred asylum, in language to his equals upon this floor, which would be inadmissible in society, which he would not venture to make use of elsewhere. While saying this, I am fully aware of the consequences which may result from my expressions. My mind is arranged to meet them. I know the extreme irritability of the gentleman's temper, I know well the principles which govern him upon occasions of this kind. I know the point to which he is disposed to carry disputes with some persons. I inform him that I have the same principles and sentiments myself upon such subjects. I never will unprovokedly seek a quarrel with any; this is entirely unought and undesired by me; but I have always thought, and always shall think, that lead and even steel make very proper ingredients in serious quarrels, and I shall never be unwilling, when honor requires, to mix either or both in such as are forced upon me.
I have been hitherto a great admirer not only of the talents but of the utility of the gentleman in his public sphere. I am so no longer; for the former are perverted, the latter has ceased. This gentleman had
been from his entrance into the public councils a kind of industrious, skilful, steady, and useful kitchen gardener in politics. His labor was constantly employed for the benefit of his country; it produced abundance of rich fruits and wholesome nutriment for its honor, its sustenance and its growth. He was beloved and cherished by it. Suddenly last year he grew fond of the business of the florist; took a distaste to the spade and manure by which he had come to such extraordinary thrift. He became dazzled with the splendors of that new calling, and not only resolved to change his trade, and set-up in it, but conceived a strong contempt and aversion to such as followed the old. Behold in one short season he has reached the verge of bankruptcy. For myself I pronounce him bankrupt for ever as a popular statesman.
The tenor of my course has been, I confess, little noisy. I have been encouraged in making it so by the improper length to which the other gentleman himself has gone in the other extreme. If I were to say it was the unlucky example he has given which alone induced me to follow a contrary course I should not speak truth. My diffidence, and, no doubt, incapacity too for such exertions, have been the main reasons, and I am not ashamed to confess it, for I have no hope to make myself abler than nature intended I should be, and no shame to appear as I am. I acknowledge that the gentleman's example and the situation to which he has brought himself influenced my conduct, by repressing my desire to be active in the house. When I saw him, like a ship at sea, without compass or rudder, tossed on the surges of his passions, driven at random by furious squalls which continually arose from unexpected quarters of the boundless horizon of his fancy, when I saw the weather beaten appearance his public character began to wear, his political honors, which I had been accustomed to look on with clamish feelings of delight, bleached and fluttering like tattered canvas in the wind, above all, when I heard it whispered that he had become leaky, I confess my want of boldness was increased. I feared to trust my little bark to the rude sea of debate with the tempest he had raised on it. I made a determination that I would, to employ an apt term in use among seamen, hog the land, and hold a safe though inglorious course.
The house then agreed to recede from their disagreement to the amendments of the senate, ayes 43, noes 36.
Mr. T. M. Randolph, a short time after this, rose and made the following remarks:
Mr. Speaker, A little while since I made use of some very severe and harsh language towards a gentleman of this house such as I acknowledge altogether improper to be used in it. I did so, because I believed that certain expressions of a disrespectful nature which dropped from him, were directed to me. It struck me that they were, if not intended to insult, at least an unpardonable freedom with me. By a rapid movement of my mind, I came to a resolution not to go home with such a load on my feelings as was imposed by the recollection that the treatment I had received was in the face of a company of a hundred men, who were to disperse to-morrow, and spread my disgrace through all quarters of the union.
I took the resolution to run all risk; to brave all danger which I might possibly incur, and by a fierce retaliation to shake off the load which oppressed my spirits. I made use of the language you heard, and I addressed it particularly to the gentleman who I conscientiously believed had injured me. Since that I have been told by six or seven different gentlemen, that I was mistaken; that the words were not directed to me; that they were meant for another. I have not been able to find one who would agree with me that I was the object of them. I have even had the mortification to be asked if it was not a studied attack on my part on the gentleman for the course he has taken this session. I disclaim such an intention. Whatever may have been my secret thoughts, I had no wish to utter them here. I could not have done so with honor, unprovoked, for private reasons. I have never imagined such design, nor could I to answer that end have used such language as part of what I uttered. I am conscious of the disrespect I have shown the House, & it appears that it is not, as I supposed, justified by the necessity of the case. My mistake was honest and natural—I regret it, and the expressions I used in consequence of it.

NEW-YORK, June 4.
Captain Salter of the Eliza Ann, from Bordeaux for New York, informs us that his vessel was captured on the 23d of May by the British ship of war Squirrel, of 20 guns, and ordered for Halifax; and on the 24th, on Soundings, off Nantucket Shoals, he saw 34 sail of the homeward bound West India fleet, under convoy of the Malabar and Atlas, having been separated from a fleet of 160 sail. At the time the Squirrel brought to the Eliza Ann, she was examining the ship Monticello from this port for Europe, but released her.
Captain Zuill informs us that before his departure a Danish schooner had arrived at Curacao, which had spoken Miramare ship the Leander at Bonaire on the 15th of May.
Captain Sowle, of the Dartmouth, from Sligo, was boarded on Monday, about 18 leagues west of Sandy Hook, by the British ship of war Leander, captain Whibley, and had eight passengers impressed. At the same time she had in possession, and captured, the ship Heckermer, captain Bunker, from the coast of Peru for New York, belonging to Messrs. Robert Gilchrist and John R. Livingston of this city, and ordered her for Halifax.

In the last gale the ship Topey of Boston, sunk at her anchors, and all her cargo excepting about 1200 bags coffee perished. Two French frigates arrived in March from France, bringing the account of Bonaparte's victories, the last under jury masts got into port while an English 74 was cruising before it. May 30, at 3 P. M. was chased by the Cleopatra and Tartar British frigates and hove too; at 8 P. M. was hailed in very indecent language from the Cleopatra, called a damned infernal rascally bouncer, and ordered on board in our own boat. Captain Coffin was detained on board until three o'clock in the morning, during which time his papers were all examined; the letters broken open; the boat's crew separately interrogated, and his pockets searched. They had in co. a letter from the West Indies, which it was supposed they would send to Bermuda. June 2d, on Soundings lat. 39, 55 spoke for Regulator, P. csey, 5 days from Boston for Philadelphia.

SATURDAY, JUNE 7.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Lon- don to his friend in Philadelphia.
"The physicians of this city have lately agreed by a large vote, that the yellow fe- ver is not a contagious, and of course not an important disease. All the American quarantine laws therefore are only so many vexatious and expensive regulations."
Another extract of a letter from a gentleman in Edinburgh, to his friend in Philadel- phia.
"The physicians of this city have unani- mously agreed, that the yellow fever is a disease as certainly tho' not as unanimously contagious as the small pox. Of course it is an important disease, and your only safety lies in the rigid observance of your quarantine laws."
Another extract of a letter from a gentleman in Liverpool, to his friend in Philadel- phia.
"The physicians of this place have, at a late and numerous meeting, agreed that the yellow fever is both an imported disease, and likewise that it sometimes originates in the United States from local filth. They therefore recommend the observance of quarantine laws and of domestic cleanli- ness as the most certain way of fencing out the evil."
[N. Y. Evening Post.]
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the Havana, dated 15th May last, to his friend in New York.
"In my last I forgot to mention the new royal order received here laying on an ad- ditional duty of 14 per cent. on all goods, wares and merchandise, imported into this island. The order is now under the con- sideration of the heads of departments; and altho' it is the general opinion that it will not be carried into execution, it is my opinion that it will, as soon as they can hear from Spain, in answer to a remon- strance now making by the government of this island against it."
To prove to this government that the court of Spain appeared so act towards the United States, as if influenced by that of St. James', I lent to them the book you sent to me, "War in Disguise;" the con- tents of which struck them so forcibly, in corroboration of my suggestions, that they ordered a translation of it immediately, to accompany their remonstrance."
Captain Bartlett of the schooner Corne- lia, which left Curracoa on the 14th of May, informs us, that two schooners be- longing to the expedition under general Miranda had been captured and carried into Porto Cavello, after an engagement of 3 hours, by two Spanish government brigs, and several gun boats fitted out for the purpose.

NAPOLEON, King of the Romans. —We are informed that a letter from Bordeaux, to a gen- tleman in this city, dated April 23, states that a meeting of the Federative States is to take place, for the purpose of declaring Bonaparte "King of the Romans." The ceremonial of his installation is to be performed with great pomp; all the Kings, Princes, Dukes, &c. &c. subject to the French Emperor, have received orders to attend in their proper persons.—The letter further states, that the pope is to continue in the exercise of his spiritual functions only; to receive a pen- sion, and that he is to reside in France; the par- ticular place of his residence, has not, however yet aspired.

Mr. Ezekiel Powers, of Croydon, New Hampshire, during the last season, made upwards of fifteen hundred pounds of maple sugar. His two sons gathered sap sufficient for seven hundred and thirty pound, and made it into sugar in eight days and a half.
From the Washington Federalist.
Mr. Printer, If your paper is not entirely confined to fede- ralism, you will perhaps find a place for the fol- lowing.
DEMOCRATICUS. The federal papers have of late contained an account of facility on the subject of the two mil- lions to secure our government in their title to Louisiana, and to add the Floridas to the bar- gain. Now I contend that all this clamor origi- nated wholly in jealousy and malice, for every
man of sense among the federalists ought to know that it is our true interest thus to quiet the exist- ing claims of France and Spain, to a part of the country in question, and that it would cost much less to buy, than to conquer and to hold possess- ion of this darling object of our wishes. All this, and much more, will be one day completely de- monstrated, and cover the heads of the federalists with shame and confusion; and further to add to their blushes, let me state a possible case.
Suppose our agents in France when they pre- sent the two millions , should at a private inter- view, request the honor of the hand of the illust- rious Dowager Empress, or mother of Bona- parte, now a single lady , of pre-eminent rank, of exalted and inestimable worth. Suppose the honor of this lady's hand should be solicited for our worthy and beloved President!
"Ah! sure a pair was never seen So finely formed, to meet by nature." My heart flugs for joy at the thought of the hap- py consequences to our country—for after this, no impudent federalist, will ever dare become a rival candidate for the American chair of Chief Magistracy, under whatever dignified title or name; our august son in law may recommend the husband of his mother to assume. You may stare at this, reader, but TIME WILL UNFOLD ALL THINGS. And now, what think you of the time, is and pecuniary application of the TWO MIL- LIONS , and of our success at the next election for a Chief Magistrate. D.
From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
SATURDAY'S LITERARY BOWER. No. 1.
MR. LEWIS. One of the dearest privileges of an A- merican is to grumble at every thing, and to find fault with every body. You must not therefore be at all surprised if I tell you, plainly, that your paper is not quite all that I could wish; and that you are therefore (by fair and natural deduction) clearly to blame for not having made it so, long ere this. I readily grant you, that in all great commercial towns, the bulk of the diurnal journals must be occupied with ei- ther the news of the day , or with the sales of the hour ; but for piety's, for honor's, for hu- man nature's sake, can no part, corner, or crannie be set apart for the use of those who neither toil nor sow, spin nor knit, in short, for the minor members of every family? Why, what do you think is to be- come of all my girls? Do you suppose me fool enough to appropriate half of my an- nual income for the purchase of six dollar Port Folios and four dollar Anthology's, for two dollar Visitors and twelve shilling Museums, when I am paying you eight dollars, yes, eight entire dollars a year, for your pale and sickly sheet of stale and mo- notonous occurrences, which, I dare say, are not more than a month old, and which have not been published in more than se- ven-eighths of the journals printed in the English language? There is Mr. STEPHEN CULLEN, Carpenter, too, he has contrived to raise a revenue of six dollars a year out of me for granting permission to read his miserable, incoherent, party rant, which he dubs "history;" and for turning over some pages of extracts, interspersed with miscellaneous observations, which he tells the world is "criticism," and which he probably expects will go down with it for such. I am determined, sir, to be at all this expense, which I look upon as foolish and useless, no longer. Nor is it at all necessary that I should, as you will plainly perceive, I trust, when you have fathom- ed the depth of my plan. It is briefly this. My family (I think I told you somewhere before that I have some fine girls; but you are married; no matter; I must beg pardon for this digression) my family, I say, is composed of two fair wards (whom I have promised to do many good things for) three rosy daughters (two of them my own, and the other my wife's) and one son (who is just coming of age, and who belongs to us both) which six good and sufficient per- sons, together with my wife and self (who are not yet, thank God, quite devoid of taste) have determined to devote an hour or two every week to cater literary viands for your journal; which, to enable you con- fidently to disperse abroad without fear from the frowns of the million , must not be destitute of that variety which was doubtlessly designed to harmonise with the discordant materials which compose that wonderful creature—man. To fa- vor this, our most honorable design, I propose to form "A LITERARY BOWER" of the vines which are now growing in our garden, and which have been "culled with care" from every part of the world. To this tranquil shade, when the remains of a northern winter, are seen no more, when summer heats oppress the weary passenger, when the hum of business dies softly on the ear, it is our intention to invite the Lounger and the Student, the Proser and the Poet, the bell-mettled Wit and the beetle-headed Dunce, and the lovers of lite-
rature and ease, generally, to step in and while away an hour with us in any way which prove most agreeable to themselves. Thus sir, you perceive that, on our part, we are already organized; or, at any rate, that we are in a fair way to become so.— Now let us hear what civilities we are probably to expect from an individual who is likely to be so highly honored, and so vastly benefited. Should your gratitude be made visible in the mean time, we pro- mise to pluck a tendril from one of our best vines, and to present it to you, with our full permission to plant it in the flower garden of the Commercial Advertiser, where, if it be fanned by 'the gentle south' of popular approbation, you may one day erect from it A SATURDAY'S LITERARY BOWER.
The Culworthy Family.
SELECTIONS.
MODESTY.
Modesty is not only an ornament, but a guard to virtue. It is a kind of quick and delicate feeling in the soul, which makes her shrink from every thing that has dan- ger in it. It is such an exquisite sensibi- lity as warms her to shun the appearance of every thing that is hurtful.
COMPARISON.
Man may be compared to a book. His birth is the title page, his baptism his epis- tle dedicatory; his groans and crying, the epistle to the reader; his infancy and child- hood the argument or contents of the whole ensuing treatise; his life and actions are the subject; his sins and errors the faults es- caped; his repentance the correction; as for the volumes, some are in folio, some in quarto, some in duodecimo; some are plain bound, others more elegantly; some have piety and godliness for their subject; but great numbers are mere romances, pamphlets of wantonness and folly; but in the last page of every one there stands a word which is FINIS , and this is the last word in every book: Such is the life of man, some longer, some shorter; some weaker, some stronger; some finer, some coarser; some holy, some profane; but DEATH comes in like FINIS at the end, and closes up all, for that is the appointed end of all—for GOD hath appointed to all men once to die, and after death then com's the judgment.
ON INNOCENCE.
O innocence! How glorious and happy a portion art thou to the breast that pos- sesseth thee! Thou fearest neither the eyes nor the tongues of men; truth is thy strong- est friend, and the brighter the light in which thou art displayed, the more it dis- covers thy transcendant beauties. Guilt, on the contrary, like a base thief, suspects every eye that beholds him, to be privy to his crimes, and every tongue that men- tions his name to be proclaiming them; fraud and falsehood are his weak and trea- cherous allies, and he lurks trembling in the dark, dreading every ray of light, lest it should discover him and give him up to shame and punishment.
The poorest should console themselves that though few of the good things of life are their lot; Innocence is always within their power; for though fortune can make a man unhappy, she can never make him completely and irreparably miserable with- out his consent.

THE editor will be happy to receive commu- nications which lead to the exercise of the mind, or those who have had a cultivated education, and might tend to the mutual improvement of the writers and the readers. In this country so ra- pidly advancing in every object of improvements there must be much cause for admiration; oc- casions must frequently present for directing the course to be pursued.... To these objects he is very desirous of attracting attention. Biography of the humbler heroes of the revolutionary war might be also very interesting. Events of this nature, not on public record, would be highly acceptable. Phenomena in natural history, will also be attended to with peculiar pleasure.
