Tents and integrity. Their report is be-
fore the people, and its merits will be de-
cIded on by that tribunal from which
there can be no successful appeal.
The second charge made by MIR. Ran
dolph is against the President of the
United States, whois charged, as explicit
ly as language cancobvey an accusation,
with having promised Protection to Mr..
Edwards in "6ase, unmaniy conspiracy
against Mr.. Cra5uford." In other words
Mr. Randolph prefers charge of con-
spiracy, and designates the President as
one ofthe conshirators This is an
other evidence OF The bitterness of feel
ing which is cherished by the friends :
the radical candidate against Mr.. Mon
roe and we consider that this last,
/ this most iniqultons attack can have but
one effect throughout the country. The
character of Mr.. Randolph required not
this new illustration. The whole histo-
r ry of his parliamentary career Is full of
/ instances in which he has given way To
/ the natural acrimoniousness of his dis
| position, equally at the expense of truth,
justice, decorum, and the feelings Of eve-
| ny other individual. 1t abpunds equally
in instances in which Mr.. Randolph has
subsequently avowed, retfacted, apollo
| glZed, under detection and exposure.
That such man should attack Mr.
Monroe, is in no wise extraordinary
but il the attack OF such a man could
convice the Judgment, or ALLEVIATE the
affections of a single individual from the
President, we should be disposed to be-
lleye that Cause and effect had changed
their relative positions in the moral or
| der Of events. Place Mr.. Monroe and
Mr.. Randolph side by side. Examine
their career, and le' their actions speak
their comparative worth. Mr.. NJ nroe, af-
Ter long life devoted IN The field and in the
! cabinet, tolhe service OF bis country, al
ter Offering upon the altar OF patriotism,
health and fortune, when he deemed that
the necessities Of the nation required the
risk, has been twice called by the voice
OF an approving and great.ul people TO
the highest office 10 their gift. HIS life
is Ikea cultivated field, full off lorious
fruit, of wtncl, ms country has reaped the
frequen and abundant hars ests. Look
at Mr.. Raudalph', lile. Where will the
future bia orian fhd single act on which
he can found the pnslhumoos tame 81
this man, whose Course has been that of
brlel aad fary meteor in the political
hemisphere? Posteri,y Will ask in vain
OF history for some evidence oil lis ut.ii-

which, derive their iaale, not from his
greatness, but trotn that o the objects
