TUESDAY, MORNING, AUGUST Is, 1926.
We insert, for the benefit If the curious read
er, another of Mr.. Randolph's speeches, deli
vered in the Senate of the United States during
its late session. 1t is 10 be regretted that the
Editors of the Intelligencer could not favor the
public with the whole of this harrangue, since
it is considered by many of Mr.. Randolph's
friends as masterpiece of eloquence and argu-
ment
The Democratic Press says that the duties
devolved on the President Of the United States,
by the death Of his venerable Father, are so va
rious and important, that they will detain him
at the Family Mansion much longer than was
anticipated If not called to- Washington by
unexpected business, it is probable he will not
reach that city, until early in October.
A London paper Of the 9th Of June, receiv-
ed at Philadelphia, states that in order to con-
stitute the ne,c into certain Parliament, 1t is
necessary that it should have sat, deliberated,
and passed one Bill--that is, that it should have
had one Session: for otherwise, in case Of the
Kings demise, not the Members recently elect
ed or now electing, but the last dissolved Par
lament, would have 10 assemble, and the whole
of these elections would be nugatory and void.
Many Of our readers have probably heard OF
a paper recently established in the City of New
York, under the title Of CoRAM's CHAMPIoN.---
The avowed object ofthe Editors is to oppose
the Administration right or wrong,-and no
violation of truth or decorum is spared in their
zeal TO bring od:um on the Cabinet, The fol-
lowing article, from the pen of a gentleman,
we'll known in this District, will go far to show
how little dependence can be placed in prints
gots up in the manner, and with the motives,
avowed by the Editors Of the Champion.

For the notice which they have taken OF a re-
cent trial in the Dist Court Of the Y. States,
am not all obliged to them. There are i'll one
small editorial paragraph in that paper Of The
9th inst lin which my name is introduced,) two
barcfaced fasehoods and sundry false insinua-
tons against the President Of the United States,
and the Secretary Of War; and SO l told the
editors before their paper went to press. The
article was shown to me by the editors previous
to its publication, and requested them not 10
publish il.
