MIR. Randolph made few preliminary re-
marks on the impossihhity of keeping apart
power and wealth, which, whenever separat-
ed by any revulsion, seek reunion by a ten
dency as true as gravitation, and as naturally
as the sexes. 1t has been so from the begin
ming, said he. Male and female created he
them, and do what you viii they will get to-
gether. He went on to observe that he looked
with some dismay upon the present political
prospect before us. He saw the old members
Of the confederacy about to be placed in the
hack ground. He could see two of the mem
bers of the old family of the good old thirteen
United States-God bless them! about to be-
ne would not say proscribed-but submitted
to an operation by which they would be de-
prived of moiety of their representation on
this floor; and this, too, in the absence, and
