From the Lebanon Republican,
MIR RANDOLPH.

This extraordinary individual-half mailman
and half sage--with little Of the saint and
somewhat of the devil, has departed for Europe,
hoping, perhaps that the baImy breath OF the
Ocean will tranquilize the agi,ion o. his nerves
and disperse the vaDours of his brain.
He has contrived during the last session, as
he has done on many former ones, to disturb
The sober realities Of a republican government
by little chivalry, sprinklng OF poetry, and
a more than proportionable quantity OF nom
sense Like his fay orite Don Quixote he is learn.
ed on all subjects, and mad on one. He knows an
infinite deal of history, has an uncommonly re-
tenlive memory, is logician, metaphyscian, a
poet; has a most acute mind; his lips have been
touched by The living coal Of eloquence, and he
possesses, probablyin greater degree than any
man now in existence, the wonderful faculty OF
enchanting the attention of his hearers-but,
notwithstanding all this he ,ciW fight ,oindmiAs.
We do not mean TO say that he always finds
fault without cause: some Of his attacks are pc
culiarly Just in their directions; and the double
edged sword Of his wrath falls occasionally on
the guilty head. But it is alike dangerous 10
innocence and wckedness, he will destroy both
in order that the latter may not escape. He is
an insane Knight errant-hc goes forth 10 res
cue uiSlFeSSeu uainScIS anu puliiSu SiahtN-"
he kills both damsels and giants. He acts on
the same sagacious principle Of Herod-to de-
stroy all the innocents in order to make sure OF
a single victim.
There is nothing generous in his character
he has drank the bitter cup and he wishes eve
ry one else to drink it likewise. Nothing can
propiliate him: death will not protect from
his vengeance. Like the royalist on the
restoration of Charles the Cd. he would dig
up the bodies of Cromwell and Ireton and
carry them TO the gallows. Like the vulturs he
preys upon The corpse. Like the fly, if there
is one sore in a mans body, (and what mans
character is without its sore--its little fault
he will fasten upon it with filthy voracity.
He has injured the reputation Of the Sena.e,
tina, illustrious body which has heretofore stood
foremost in the affections of the people. On its
floor he has shocked female modesty-he mas
dug up, and fed upon, the ashes Of our immor-
tai Rush-he has empued the walls Of his
wrath in every direction, unmindful upon
whose head the poison has fallen. Bat he has
told some bold truths-whch have shaken
some breasts more terribly than the writing on
the wall did the voluptuous Belshazzar

AMPHICTYONIC LEAGUE.


The opposers of the proposition TO send
commissioners 10 Panama, among other invec-
tiyes, denounced the Congress of the Southern
Republics as an "Amphictyonic League
Now we do not consider this appellation, tho
designed as an opprobrious epithet, as inappli-
cable or disgraceful. On the contrary, we
think there is, in many respects, strong re-
semblance of the contemplated Panama Con-
sress to the Amphictyonic Assembly. The lat
ter was composed Of deputies from the princi-
pal states Of Greece, and formed general coun-
Gil, similar to the sta,es-general of Holland, or
the Diet Of the German Empire. Historians
say it indicated high degree of political wis
dom, and correct and extensive view Of the
general interests Of Greece" Its great political
object was, "to unite in strict amity the states
which it represented, and to rouse them to
mutual vigilance and activity in preserving the
genera! tranquility or promoting the general
welfare" To those great purposes Of self.pre-
servation, the Congress Of the Southern Re-
publics are expected to turn their attention
and devote their deliberations. Can any
subjects be more laudable? Their safety, hap
pihess and independence, depend upon unifor.

years ago with Lord Elgin, since which lie has
resided at Reading and Oxford. He professed
TO be teacher Of languages, and bad occasion

his own language, the modern Greek, and also
with Italian. He was penuriouS in the extreme,
and chiefly lived on the contributions Of the hu-
name, who pitied'his apparently helpless and
miserable conditions yet he was in possession
of considerable property Upwards of loooi. in
the Bank Of England, which he has left 20 four
holy fathers, pGpas or patriarchs Of the Greek
church, with direction that his soul, and the
souls Of his father and mother, may be prayed
for continually during one hundred years alter
his decease. His executor is gentleman OF
responsibility at Reading, in whose hands he
had deposited money for his funeral expenses,
which were not to exceed eight pounds; and al
so for his occasional wants, from which fund
he drew with great sparingness and compunc-
ton, and only when he was unable TO draw on

marefaced, but rising in the ,nids, like that ola

his eye, the contrary being thought by some TO

bright. Hisnostrils wide, and red within, for

term witty cragged; his breast strong and
broad, his chest deep, his chin short, his body
large, and close shut up 10 the buckle bone; his
ribs round like barrel; his fiiiets large, his

wheat against The ravages Of the weevil; it is
further stated, that if the wheat is threshed and

the wheat covered with elder leaves, it will
