Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1826-12-21


The Editor of the Cincinnati Gazette is in
favor Of Mr.. Randolph's reelection, because
she has done the STATE some service" in, making
himself the leader OF opposition, connec ting all
his "monstrosifies" with those who condemn the
administration, and thus affecting the good
name, fame and reputation of all opposition
movements. "Mr Randolph" says the editor
sis very Posthumous to fight against the
cause he came fo:--not, TO be sure, from de-
sign or necessity-but from fend-like kind
of spirit, which finds consolation, only, in
sabbing the regulations OF all who are not his
parasites"
The Norfolk Herald, commenting upon Mr.
Ritche's declaration, that the Administration
are anxious for the defeat Of Mr.. Randolph,
saws: "We should conclude differently, seeing
how much he has tended TO strengthen them by
disgusting the sober and unprejudiced Of his
own party. Another such Senatorial session
as the past and Mr.. Adams's reelection is Sc
cure The editor expresses his regret at the
prospect Of Mr.. RS. reelection, not so much
from sympathy for the Administration, he says,
a, from a filal affection for his native State
He then asks-sWho that calmly reviews
the conduct and speeches Of MIR. Randolph
in the Senate Of the United States during the
last session, can deny that they were highly
discredi,able alike to himself and to the digni-
fed BODY of which he was member. To re-
elect him, the censure which now attaches 10
him individually, will be thrown upon the Stale
he represents, and we have no wish 10 bear E.
ven our own small proportion Of it. Upon this
subject we speak feelingly-we speak as Virgil
nians-our state pride takes the alarm. Give
US an opponent Of the administration, lift must
he 60: but give us one that will not bring ridi-
cule and reproach upon the good old Common,
wsanb Bitter as the pill is to swallow, we
would prefer Giles TO Randolph. In word,
we hope the Enquirer is mistaken as to the
feelings of the Legislature upon this important
question"
