After suitable compliments to many dis

what was once uttered by Mr.. Canning in
the same room, met with the warmest burst
of enthusiasm, and Mr.. Randolph won the
heart and good wishes of every individual
present.
AS we like to record the opinions Of all
who are distinguished for sound or original
views, we cannot avoid noticing the obser-
walton of Mr.. Randolph on this evening to
a gentleman who seemed to doubt the pol,
icy of continuing the forms of government
which seems spreading over America.

progressive and improving.-Laws are sus-
ceptible of daily amendment but forms of
government are rarely altered with advan-
tage to any," ~
