THERE is soft, persuasive pow'r,
That cheers the lonely pilgrims breast,

And points to seats of rest.
Though storms and clouds assail our life,
And cleaning tcFrours round us dart
Yet HopE dispels the clouds OF strife
And renoyates the heart.

received. and admitted into the Councils OF

been dismissed from that assembly, but is

The speech of Mr.. Randolph, which will be found
on our columns to day, requires no comment--In its
sentiments 1t is what every friend Of his country,
shoud At the present crisis make the standard OF his
Pohucsl conduct-bccausc it Is AnseYicda-Yes Anne
rs and let not the expression be subject to censure
when we say also IT is Virgiaian--for however polti-
caiy infatuated native may be, we still view
her as pre- sinenty the egetmate heress OF the ul-
aduitersted free and independent American character
but this aside-we say the speech requires no COM
ment, yet we should be unjust to our own feelings
to that alacrty with which our best and most impair
tai Judgment assens to its principles, if we did not
give voice to those feelings and that assennot in the
spirit OF party, but in the spirit of Amercans--an
we should be yet more culpable if did not in the
paucty OF opportunities which exist when those who
are no architect of praise, can without the imputa-
ton OF subserviency, with the minds best impulse,
give the due apPlause-bestow, with thar conscious
ness, thaf applause upon Mr.. Randolph--Like Mr..
Randolph, but not with his powers of eloqueuce, and
his impetuous indignation, can truly say, that all
the energies of minds all our faculties Of execra-
ton are insufficient to express adherence Of all
"men who make their fellow men, the machines OF
their ambition land re-eminenuy of the despoer OF
Europe--hc who has turned JOY and exultation into
sorrow and mourning-and, Randolph, we can say,
that the invarable impulse of feelings has con-
strained US, since first had feeling III regard to
any thing IN spite OF whatever rte epithet OF foreign
attachment which may be applied to US, and however
much we may execrate the corrupt administrations
and government of England-to affirm, and that vehe.

speech shall we learn that that terrible being,
John Bull, does not suffer his thousand arm
ed vessels, manned and equipped at eror-
nous expense, to lie wholly idle, but that
they are guilty of the audacious tyranny OF
beng, in some degree, check on the vioient
inclinations of Dame Columbia, to extend her
arms to cherish, aid and assist her admired
hero, the immortal Napoleon, in eiecting
Johns humiliation. Much viii the speech
complain that the sovereign of the ocean Is
not powerful to no purpose, and does not de
scend to andpu himself on a level with the
imbeciity Of the United States, with their do
zen ships.
objectionable is the grievance that the Le-
viathan is not as powerless as the Cod That
the Jaukai, whom nature meant for the Lions
providcr is not permitted to divert its pro-
vender to the support of the Tiger, with a
view to the destruction of the Lion.
The speech may not say these things IN di-
rect terms, but such will, unquestionably, be
its meaning:
With syllogisms twill make clatter,
With abstract rights three-deckers batter;
An empty purse at millions shake,
And no trade 'gainst free trade stake;
OF rotting produce count the gain,
A seaboard boast shut from the main;
To seamen recommend the loom,
And on each mast to fix the broom;
Merchants, for lack of foreign wares,
To retail apples, plumbs and pears

FRENCH NEWS.

We learn, verbally, by the Matilda, that
the u. States frigate Constitution was, as late
as the 18TH ult. still at Cherbourg, waiting to
hear from Mr. Barlow, who was in expecta
ton of having an intercourse with Emperor
Bonaparte, who had just returned from his
louing visit to the Hollanders. The absence
OF Bony, no doubt, had prevented full set
Element of all matters in dispute between that
and this country. His return, it was expect
ed would be productive of a new set of pro-
misses, which would be forwarded in the Con
stitution, by Mr.. Barlow.
1t is also said, that when the Matilda sailed
she had on board French paper containing
an official account of battle between Blake
and French ARMY at Sagante, the famous
town in which the former was defeated with
the loss of 5000 killed, wounded and prison
ers
