SIR,
am informed that attempts are made
to introduce, contrary to law, merchandise
from Canada into your district. and those ad-
IaGEnl u tdhC Al 10. 1Ou AZ ~ P'S~SSA ~
communicate the arrangements which You
NAV nave made, and any information which
you may possess on that subject. The best
mode to prevent end detect those attempts IS
the appointment of inspectors al the usual pla-
ces OF landing, ard also in the interior at some
Convenient place Or tire roads, rivers or por-
tagcs most likely to be taken for the trans
portation Of the mersh.ndize into the most
populous parts of the adjacent country. Such
inspectors are paid only when actually en-
pioycd but it has been usual For the collect
ors in other districts to promise one half of
their own share of the seizures which they
may make. That promise is Of course option
al with you, but seems to afford the best en-
enlargement to stimulate their e1ertions,
whilst you would probably derive yourself
profit from it.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 80, l8ll.
JOHN RANDOLPH, ESQ.

Some OF the administration papers affect to
consider Mr. Randolph, as the " Idol & lead
er of the Federal party" in Congress. No
thing is more untrue. But il is true, that
Mr.. Randolph, in debate, is highly interest
Jig his eloquence is of kind peculiarly
captivating and, when he rises, every part
Of tie house, both Federal and Democratic,
together with the gallery, yields him profound
silence and attention. The coarse and unlet.
tered, as well as the refined scholar, join in
this honorable testimony of respect to his ta-
Tents.
Randolph is believed also to possess good
portion Of political integrity and frankness-
his hards have never been polluted by par
ticipa.ion in any of tbs dirty jobs of the admi-
Ristratian; whenever thene have been put up
on him, he has WINGED and hed the course
THIS unyieidiDg temper, which would never
condescend to tamper with corruption, has it
i. believed, lost him his high standing with
his party, and brought upon him much ohio
Guy end persecution; but he, in his turn, docs
not suffer his wrongs to remain unavenged-
He touches the mountain and il smoaks the
srains of terrible invective are felt in the
deepest reces.es of power The shameless
profession of Democracy OUT OF power con-
trast.d with is practices in power; the Syren
song OF economy, followed BY the most u aste-
full expenditure OF public money; the denun-
citation OF the sedtion law and the doctrine of
libel at common law, succeeded by the most
oppressive prosecutions of Federalists in the
court. of the United States in fine, abaa-
doning in practice most of the great doctrines
which brought the party into power, are the
pregnant themes on which he la.hes Demo-
crazy till she writhes and twis;s like male
factor at the stake. That the administration
should hate and persecute Mr.. r. is no longer
a subject of surprize; that they should resort
TO the injustice and mearness of clubbing him
leading Federalist, i. but laboring in their
vocation.
