(Signed) JOHN L. WILSON,
Chairman.
1t has long been known that no Representa-
tive Of Virginia can offend with IMMUNITY, the
Richmond Junto, Of which, it is as well known
that Mr. Richie is the organ. That Junto
put Mr. Randolph in the Senate, and vindicat-
ed his erra,ick and licentious course until 1t
became insuferable, even to those who had
spurred him on, and threatened destruction 10
the great object for which he was elected,
namely-to pull down the Administration, right
or ,crong, and to stab the reputation OF all VINO
should venture to support it. That he has
faithfully devoted himself 10 the purposes OF
his mission cannot be denied; bu, it i, equally
plain that his incompetency as statesman not
less than his indiscretion as an assassin, and
his vulgarism as wit, has sunk him so low
in the estimation of the public generally, that
his friends are compelled to abandon him, or
10 relinuuish their ambitious pursuit. Mr.. Rit
chic has therefore received his orders from the
Junto, and has accordingly issued the following
proscriptive proclamation, interlarded ingcnl-
ously with little of the elimination OF faint
praise"
owe take no pleasure in recording the new
scene, in which Mr. Randolph has exhibited, as
on too many occasions Of late, an unbecomlng
state of excitement. Why should he have slept
GU, of his way to cast his censures on the Editor
of the Boston Centinel' Why abuse the man,
because he was introduced on the floor: Why
abuse the Senator who introduced him?-
Though we admire the intrepidity and zeal,
which Mr. r. has displayed in unmaskins The
misdeeds of the Government, we are lar from
app, owing the ou,-of-the-way attacks which he
has made on SO many individuals. To make
use of the comparison Of Mr.. Hamilton OF ) e.,
his "riAe" wantIers 100 often from the object in
view--and is pointed at game which he ought
no, to have noticed He i, carried off by the
very excess Of his feelings. His enemies a
which this inprriection betrays him, without
making any allowances for the causes OF il"
"He is carried away BY the'excess ofhi feel
ings!" saws Mr.. Richie, land his enemiesa
droiiiv avail themselves Of the error, into which
this imperfrction be,rays him, ao'tho~ making
ana allowances for the C4USESofH. Whata'e
the causes of r?-Opium?-lnsaniiy
an overweening vani,y?-Or white liver
and black heart? For all these causes his en-
emies have made "allowance;" and if MIR. Rit-
chic will poin, out any others, that carry with
them the remotcst probability, doubtless they
will be admitted. 81
While we rejoice at the prospect of Mr. Ran
dolph's prostration-at the return Of the days
when he Can again say with truth, "Ihe acenue
10 the public ear is slut agatnst me IN Pngimia"-
lie, ii not be supposed that our feelings towards
the administration prompt us TO wish ;hat MIR.
Randolph may b. removed from the Senate.
Far o,herwise.-We are fully convinced that
the presence of such men as Calhoun and Ran
doiph in the Srna.e, and McDuffie, Mitchell,
Krener and LecCnptt in the House, adds
more TO the growing strength of the Admins
ration than any equal number Of lis ablest
champions But as much as we love the I'D
ninisiration we love our Country more. We
wish to see able and honest men in her councils,
however they may be opposed to our political
opinions. We would therefore prefer an AR
CHER to RANDoLPH-a WHITE to a MITCHELL
"a HENRY 10 LEcoMPTE-and BUCHANAN
to KREMER, and SO OF the rest.
