Extract from letter, dated London, July /, 1896
Agreeable to your request give you short
account of Mr.. Randoph's conduct during the pas
sage across the Atlantic. He talked necessarily
lie is great eater, but this did not prevens
him from monopozing all the conversation at table
this would rot have been of much consequence t
his talk had been amusing or instructive, but it was
principally about himself, his slaves, and the blood
and consequence Of his family. These were his
daily and nightly themes. One night found he had
reused up the steward, (who had re,ired late, and
was obliged to rise very eary) TO talk 10 him OF the
manner in which he treated his negroes; the poo.
steward was not much pleased with the honor thus
conferred upon him When unable TO get an audi
ence in the cabin Mr.. r. would 60 forward TO the
sleeragc passengers and there hold forth his claims
to full blood.
81 am the last Of the Powans' said lie, "my
brothers. only son is an Idiot" lie said, "thsrc
we're more Randolph's spread about, but they were
poor yagabonds.' Alter very heavy charge OF
wine or whiskey punch with which he loaded very
frequently, he was very noisy. He says" II Adams
is reelected, he will leave the country and settle in
England, that he will bel 500 hhds Of tobacco, upon
Jackson against Adams. The Americans de
generate race OF men. He is enemy to uniyer-
sal suffrage. Who ever heard OF negro being
chrstian' Englandis last appr oachng TO despotsm
says he, and America is following the same course
America is only fit Tor white bears and camels. In
ten years, matk my words, there will be a division
OF the United States, the South will have the Che
sapeake and will consist Of Virginia, SC. &c. els.
ven States in all. I'll be damned if i uouia NOT
rather Be sorerned By the English than By tie Taa.
hee The poor children should not be instructed 10
read. We want butes in the human shape, and
who so Fit as those children abandoned by their pa
rens. The United States will take Alexco, they
have right to do so. A few ViIgnian and Ken
tucky riflemcn would take Bolivar and all South
America ! hate improvements. Damn the steam
bouts, wish they all Blown up. ! wish there
was not single turnpike road in Virginia. would
rather have a drunken man Tor my daughter lhan
one over sober Iro,td sh0ot my negroes if query
body else uouid theirs. II is the only way TO SCI
rid OF two millions Of negroes. j could shoot aJ
mine in tico hours will shoot any man who
comes 10 collect revenue upon my estsie. never
say am an American. ] always say l.am Nir.
ginian, so | am. The other states no more 10
me than any neutral country. The Yankees ale tls
greatest scoundrels on the face Of the earlh.'
