Mr.. RAEDoLRH.-The second speech of this
gentleman is too long for publication. entire,
but il contains so much curious and amusing
information on great variety of subjects, that
we have attempted a brief analysis OF it. 1t
will be recollected, or, rather, it may be nee
essary to anform our readers, that it is in
support of the resolution calling on the Presi-
dent for information g touching the principles
and practice of the Spanish American States,
or any of them, late Colonies of old Spain, in
regard to Negro Slavery"
Spanish PrOrcrbs-These, Mr.. Randolph
says, are great and deserved favortes of his.
being perhaps the most pithy aud pungent in
the world and he quotes one of them" save
me from my friends and will take care OF
my enemies"
Regular Speeches" Like some other regu-
lar things, sometimes extremely dull.n
Improrisitorc-Th name g the Italians give
TO those who speak, not without much previ-
GUS thinking, indeed, but without the book or
even without notes.n
Cham Bridges-A modern invention. They
resemble regular argument. They may APP
pear very perfect--thc abutments and fixtures
may be perfectly strong, but if there is one
single link which is defective, ''souse down
into the water comes the unwary passenger
who trusts himself TO the treacherous edifce.
Just so it is with a regular argument. Ytde
case, Cohens UerSlS State Of Virginia.
Negro Slavery" An unhappy question--s
thing that cannot be hid-not a dry rot that
you can cover with carpet-.might as wail
try to hide volcano"
The abolition Society-Mr. r. was a men,
Der, but became neutrality-suspicious. he
left the Society, or the Society left him, can
not tell. Thinks it has done more mischief
than good.
The Crusadts-" Incomparably more wor-
thy, more desirable in the object, more wise
in the means taken to obtain it, than this mod
ern black crusader
Take the President of the United States
out of his palace in the dead of night, and put
him in boat, and take him down the Poto-
mac, and ship him off to foreign country"
Any man who should be blockhead enough to
say he could do this, would be taken for a
moon-struclx mailman.
The God Teusinus---'' He has not gone
back-yes, sir, he has gone back"
Sc The Southern StdteS-Will look to their
safety as States and individuals, whatever the
ink or sheep-skn may say"
SOPhist-This word, meaning wise men, got
out of repute--so with hberttne, which meant
what Iibsrdl means now-the latter in dan
ger of sharing the same fate, il 1t contracts
this black ailiance''- sometimes {" slip
from their original meanings"

Mr.. RANDOLPH AND THE DEcLARATIo N
OF lNDEPENDENcE.-We have no particular
admiration ofthe phraseology ofthe Declaration
of independence, and we do not think MIR. Iei-
ferson the only man who could have drawn up
as GOOD form. Perhaps Richard Henry Lee, to
whose lot it would probably have fallen, as
the proposer of the measure, had he not been
called away, would have executed it better.
Nor do we think it extremely edifyng to the
present generation, under the existing state OF
our political relations-in this I" era of good
feelings,n which are not confined to ourselves,
but apparently exist on the other side Of the
part of the regular exercises at the fourth of
July. But "let that pass.'' We have, not
withstanding, too much respect for it, to sit
patiently and hear it berated in the manner of
Declaration of Independence, that solemn act,
in the construction of which so much care and
wisdom was bestowed by the venerable sages
of the revolution, now secuted and scofFed al. .
as nothing better than {" a fanfaronade of alb
stractions," is rather too much. And why is
it thus treated? The reason is evident--is
avowed. There is passage in that instru-
ment, which asserts that :" all men are born
equal.'' Now the slave holders, and Mr..
Randolph their Egis, who judge of mems
rights by their colour-whetherA Africans, Hay
items, or Guat amaleans---cannot abide the
doctrine. 1t must be repealed. We must
have new reading Of the sentence, which
shall admit that some men are born slaves, OF,
in other words, that all men are not entitled
BY nature to an equality of rights and priv-
leges; for it was never contenGed, as Mr..
Randolph pretends to suppose, that all men
were born equal, in respect TO the cohdi-
ton of society, which might exist around
them, in the form of the body, or the COL
our of the skin-that the New-Zealander
and the European wera born equal'' AS re-
spects outward circumstances. There is a
sense, however, in which theassertion is true,
and all the quibbling, and all the ridicule OF
Mr.. Randolph, cannot change it. He haOws
the sense in which it was asserted, and in
which it is true; and it is in this sense that
it conveys reproach to the oppressor, and as
serts the rights of the oppressed. 1t is this
odious principle, which initiates so obviously
with the interest and the practice of slave
holders, which has brought upon this eloquent
State paper the humiliating appellation
which Mr.. Randolph has applied to it and it
is thus Vrginian Senator, the proud repre-
sentative of proud dominion, would tram
pie on any principle which, in its operation,
should interfere with its interest," or limit its as
cendancy over the other States of the Union !;
and which, we apprehend, would lead him,
and those who embrace his opinions. with
little hesitation, whenever they shall fail to
obtain SUCH construction of it, as shall favor
their ambitious views, to apply 70 the Consti-
tuition, itself, the degrading Appreciation of sra
fanfaronade Of abstractions.n

THE PANAMA MIssIoN.---The long and
protracted- discussion, on this subject, was
closed on the l4th inst. and the nomination of
RICHARD G. ANDERSON, OF Kentucky, and
JOHN SARGEANT, of Pennsylvania, as Commits
sioners to attend the meeting of the South
American Republics, confirmed. Doubts have
been expressed whether this Congress is yet
in session, or whether it will continue to be
so long enough to enable our Commissioners
to be present at its deliberations.
On the nomination of Mr.. Anderson, the
vote was, Ayes, 27; Noes, IL. On that of
Mr.. Sergeant, Ayes, &c; Noes, 10.
On this subject, the following remarks ofthe
eloquent Chatcaubriant will be found interest
ing, for which we are indebted to the Boston
Repertory:
=" The most important feature in the foreign
policy OF the Anglo Americans, is the sending
an Ambassador to the Congress of Panama, a
resolution, which, followed by a prudent
choice Of the person to be sent, may consoli-
date the liberty Of whole hemisphere. For
we cannot conceal, that the Spanish Ameri-
cans have great need of the counsels of a ma
ton more experienced in the career Of lndc,

acted since our last accounts, that we have
