in their hsarte, when they inslnuate that IAzE-
WELL, an acute loeician, most temperate and
enlightened speaker is a dyinlkord! The policy
Of one charge is a match for the decency oil the
other We shrewdly suspect, however, that Mr.
Tazewell, even 90 after dinner" would not De
much at loss to poze and puzzle the wisest oil
his antagonists; nor do we hesitate to aver that
Mr. RANpoLPn' = madness, like that OF Hamiets,
"h has a method in T." not particularly admired by
Mr.. CLAY or his I" undestIappezs"-
How pregnant sometime, his vepiis' are
Ahappiue that often uturfress hits o.
Which sanity aud reason could not be
Sopro,perousiy delivered off,
The unfortunate mistake OF the doting Minister
Of the Danish Usurper, had, however some ex-
cuse in the trick being so well played; but we IN
this new world arc, more disposed, II possible, TO
deceive Others, than to suffer ourselves To be de-
luded. Let the silly rogues ealumniate, and at
tempt to make their ,eaders believe, what they
never dream of believing theHssseircs;- they will
yet find our Hamlet right zane and wide awake.
ADAMS and CLAY-or to speak dramatically,
" our uncle father and aunt mother most un-
natural and irrelgious union) are deceived" I'm
what, is it asked: Why in this, forsooih: RAS-
poLPH Is only mad " north, northwest: when the
wind il southerig, he knows hawk from hand
saw"
There is bit one other subject, thing, or SEM
blance Of thing, that would touch upon in this
" retort courteous" OF the National Gazette thrown
30 cavalierly into the face of the " National In
telgencer." II is this: % In a varied inter-
course with intelligent and impartial persons, in
three of principal cities, during The last fort
night, we have been confirmed in our Impressions
respecting the disgust OF the country, on that
head' Is i, possible the Editor OF the National
Gazette has passed through =" three Of our prin-
cipai cities" in fortnight? Is i, possible that
in this rapid whirl he has had " varied intercourse
with intelligent and impartial persons?" is IL
possible that he bss taken the sense Of "the coun
uy" upon all the subject matters, discussed and de-
termneJ on, the lsrt Session. -What a terrible
traveller he mus. be! We suspect, however, all
this " varied intercourse has been in his reading
| room or by his wIndow-and that be has had Just
as much opportunity of judging of +" the disgust
OF The country, as any other conductor Of a daily
| Journal--no more. If the sense of this passage
| be taken literally, we should like Mr.. WALSH to
name the "threc principal cities" in each OF
which, some wise man OF Gotham has" confirm
ed'' him in his previously received faith.
The country" feel disgust, if the truth were
told, at the base attempts made 10 brow-beat our
Representatives; disgust, at the open and unblush-
Ing bullying by which the freedom OF debate is
attempted to be put down; disgust, al seeing the
President of tire United States, and the Secretary
OF State, elccttOneerfug in the Senate House for
votes against the venerable Mr.. Macon, as Presi-
dent of the Senate, and which induced Mr.. Taze-
well TO say, " that the Senate should lock their
doors, and do their business themselves" Dis
gust. at the unfair and undignihed conduct of the
Executive towards both Houses, on the Panama
Question. Disgust at his insulting insinuation,
about the motives" OF the most virtuous and au
gust body, that ever adorned the Legislatures Of
the earth These are tire things and doings--few
among many o,hers-at which "the country
have indeed felt disgust" And had MIR. Walsh
travelled little farther South and West, he would
have added much to his knotrledgs, though pre-
cious little to his confirmation. Truth to be rel
ished, must be UNDERSTOOD bs understood,
must be sought fori--io be sought for, must be
loved. TOUCHSTONE.
