EXTRACTS.
Character Of Patrick Henry

/ To Patrick Henry the first place is
ldue, as being the FIRST who broke the KEY
:lstone of the arch of what was called the
laristocracy. Little and feeble as it was.
;sad Incapable Of da.ing to assert any pri,
fvllege clashing with the rights of the peo-
lple at large; it was no small eaertion 10
him to surprise them with the fact, that a
new path was opened to the temple of
honor, besides that which passed through
the favor of the King. He was respecta-
lble in his parentage; but the patrimony
1of his ancestors and Of himself was too
scanty to feed po1pp or luxury. From
leducation, he derived those manners
which belong to the real Virginia Planter,
and which were his ornament, in no less
ldlsdaining an abridgment of personal
independence, than in observing every
ldecorum interviewer with the comfort and
courtesy of society. With his years,
the unhought means of popularity In
lcreased. Identified with the people. he
was clothed with the confidence of a ia
rite son.
Until hisresolutions On the stamp act,
The had been unknowa, except to those
with whom he had associated in the har-
ldy sports of the field amidst the. avowsd
neglect OF literature. Still he did not
escape notice, as occasionally retiring
within himself to silent reflection, and
sometimes descanting with peculiar EN-
phasls On the martyrs IN the cause of IL
liberty.
This enthusiasm WAS noarished by his
ipartiality for the dissenters from the es-
tab.ished church. He often listened to
them, while they we're wasing their stea-
ldy. and finally eiIcetual war against the
Iourthens OF that church, and from a re-
petition OF his sympathy with history of
their suiierings, or degradations, he un-
locked the human heart, and transferred
Into civil discussions, many Of the bold
licences, which prevailed ia religious
Il he was not, as probably he was not,
hearer and admirer Of that stupendo1s
master OF the human passions, George
Whitfield, he was follower and devo-
zee OF some of his most powerful dis
|aipies.
AL these advantages Mr.. Henry sup

Interesting Notice.
FROM THE ENQUIRER.
no PRLNTERS.

The subscriber is willing to dispose
5of the eopywight Of a work entitled
ss The History Of Virgin;a,p by Ed
mund Randolph, This history compre'
|hends ali the important events which &C.
lcurred in Virginia, from her first settle
Iment down to the adoption Of tile Fede-
1ral Constitution. In the progress of the
1work, the author seems to have had CON
]stantl y in view the emancipation of that
Icountry from her colonial dependence,
land to have marked the causes which
GRADUALLY led to that event, and fitted
Iher for it, Many characters well desery-
ling ofrenown, who are necessarily over
Hooked liz more general history Of the
III. States, are here brought into view,
land their actions rescued from oblivion,
Tor the perishable memorial of tradition.
independently of Washington, whose
like is interviewer with the history of his
country, the author has paid a Just tri-
lbute to men who acted in more limited
sphere, but whose influence was sensibly
3feit in the important measures which
drought about thereyoIution. OF Patfick
Henry--of his zeal and his eloquence-
Ia very copious notice is taken-Thomas
Jefferson is drawa, such as he appeared
lat that period, without borrowing one tint
from the passions and prejudices of the
present day. Richard Henry Lee occu-
lpies high station among the worthless Of
1.-THE Revolution; besides multitude Of
|ethers, who at that time shene with no in
considerable lastre. and to whom an ap-.
propriate station is assigned. For the
Satisfaction of those who may wish to
purchase the copyright of this work, |
shall subjoin few extracts.
The proceedings OF tie Convention,
held in Richmond i'll the year l7,T5, one
of the most interesting events of that
day, are particularly detailed. A gene
raj sketch is also given of the course of
the. debates in the general convention,
which tin Philadelphia in 1857. This
derives NO small interest from being the
narration OF an eyewitness.
0f the execution OF thrs work, it does
not become me to speak. But 10 deli
cacy ought to restrain NE from saying
(what indeed is known to many others)
that the composition Of the work was the
iavorite object of TIE authors pursuit, for
many years before his death-tbat he
had access to every document necessary
forhis unde, taking--that he was perso-
nally and intimately acquainted with the
men aud measures described, during the
period OF his political liie-and that he
possessed slispassionate temper, superior
to any prejudice.
lam unable to make any conjecture a
bout the size of the work, when reduced
to print. It consists Of many manuscript
volumes of different sizes.
Should any one wish to contract for

in Richmond, Virginia, will be duly at
tended to.
