The papers from all parts of the country
abound in articles relating TO the decease Of
The two Ex-Presidents, Adams and Jefferson.

the conviction that two men, such as are
rarely seen, have passed away from among US.
They were indeed great among the great.
That they had foibes is admitted, and who
has not? Yet, among men as distinguished as
they have been, and who have been placed
in such trying situations, few have better

there is more to admire and less TO condemn.

JOHN RANDOLPH.

| We have met with nothing in all the newspa
per notices of John Randolph, whethe
Iaudatory, or vituperative, which in gu
humble estimation can vie with the follow
ing picture, in point of fidelity. 1t is from ;
! paper published at Lebanon, Pa.
Mr.. RANDoLpH.-This extraordinary
individual-half mailman and half sage
with little Of the saiut and some.
what of the devil-has departed for Eu
rope-hoping that the balmy breath Of
the ocean will tranquillize the agitation
of his nerves, and dispense the vapoIs Of
his brain.
He has contrived, during the last SEES
sion, as he has on many former ones,
TO disturb the sober realities of repub.
lican government by little chivalry, a
sprinkling ofpoetry, and more than
proportionate quantity of nonsense.
Like his favorite Don Quixotte, he is
learned on all subjects and mad nm n-~-
He knows an infinite deal of history, has
an uncommonly retentive memory, is a
metaphysician, poet; has a most a.
cute mind his lips have been touched
by the living coal Of eloquence, and he
possesses, probably in greater degree
than any man now in existence, the
wonderful faculty of enchanting the at
tention of his hearers-but, notwith-
standing all this, he sOiI fight wind-mils.
We do not mean TO say that he always
finds fault without cause some of his
attacks are peculiarly just in their d.
rection; and the doubIe-edged sword of
his wrath falls occasionally on the gull
ty head. But it is alike dangerous 10
innocence and wickedness he will des-
troy both in order that the latter NAV
not escape. He is an insane Knight-er-
rant-he goes forth TO rescue distressed
damsels and punish giants-and he kills
both damsels and giants. He acts on
the same sagacious principle OF Herod-
TO destroy all the innocents in order to
make sure of a single victim.
There is nothing generous in his
characterize drank The bitter cup, and
he wishes every one else to drink it
likewise. Nothing can propititate him;
death will not protect from his ven-
geance. Like the royaIists on the ac-
cession OF Charles II. he would dig ND
the bodies of Cromwell and Iretono
carry them TO the gallows. Like the
Vulture, he preys upon the corpse.
Like the fly, if there is one sore in a
mans body, (and what mans character
is without lis sore--its little faulty he
will fasten upon it with filthy yoraoi-
~.
He has injured the reputation of the
Senate, that illustrious body which has
heretofore stood foremost in the afFec-
tons of the people. On its floor he has
shocked female modesty-he has dug
up, and fed on, the ashes of our immor.
tai Rush-he has emptied the walls of
bis wrath in every direction, unmindfuI
upon whose head the poison has fallen.
But he has told some bold truths
which have shaken some hreasts moro
terribly than the writing on the wall
did The voluptuous Belshazzar.
