think it would be complete knockdown
blow to the consequence and dignity, of the
State Of Virginia, to re-elect John Randolph
His election, in the FIRST INSTANCE, might pass
well enough; for i, is not TO be presumed that
the Legislature Of Virginia were aware, that
Mr.. Randolph would have played such mad
pranks; but to reflect him, with full know
ledge of his disgraceful conduct, would be to
assume all the reproach and contempt, which
in the first instance belonged 10 him. There
are no doubt, a large number in your house
who would elect him for no other reason than
his deadly hatred 10 the President, and his Pc
culiar talent for scurrility: they would forgive
him for wasting thousands and tens of thou.

Sir: The recent proceedings create great ex-
element The Vice President, the second Of
fcer in the Government, performing his high
duties as presiding officer Of the Senate, sud-
denly leaves his chair-refuses to act-and
calls on the House Of Representatives, as the
grand inquest Of the nation, TO examine into his
official conduct as Secretary Of War, on charge
Of corruption. The public business Of the ma
lion is suspended, and the Legislative depart
ment. whose duties must cease on the third OF
March next, and whose time is therefore mos;
precious 10 the nation, is called upon to arrest
its course Of ordinary legislation, and turn to
the examination Of the character and conduct
of the Vice President. A pure fame is more
valuable than life: Spotless reputation is Jewel
above all price, and should be guarded with a
prudence not 10 be surpassed even by The vigi-
lance of its possessor. The ermine is solled by
handling. female virtue cannot be brought TO
trial, however pure, without stain; the breath
even Of inquiry leaves faint which demonstra-
ton cannot wholly remove So is it with states
men: men in elevated situations in life. The
American people, intelligent and generous,
are the guardians Of the fame Of their public
servants. Licentiousness is an evil always at
tendant upon the good of freedom; it is the
shadow Of which perfect liberty is the sub
stance: tolerated les, the good should be I'M
paired by attempting TO eradicate the evil. But,
BY common consent, the public are their own
inquest-the people inquire, and while Pnoi'e.
men are assaled on all sides BY the jealousy Of
iiva!s, or the malice Of foes all charges pass OH
harmless, like the arrow from 4 rock, unless
fea,hered from the wing oftruthe Hence \, is
that public inquiries, prosecutions for libel or
SANDER, are every where discountenanced as un
necessary Hpursued for any other purpose
than the simple vindica:ion Of character, they

in which, for that purpose such judicial inqui-

FROM A CORRESPONDENT

Washington City, Dec. o.
The great question, who shall be the next
President, like Aaron's rod, swallows up all o.
theirs. From present appearances, one would
think Mr.. Adams was gaining ground, not only
in various parts OF the country, but at Wash
ng,on also IN truth, Congress may be said TO
reflect public opinion rather than TO direct 1t
nova days. Mr.. Adams is in himself host,
bred politician, he knows all the movements Of
parties as soon as the machine is in motion;
cautious, intelligent and decisive, he looks far
ahead. and makes shrewd calculations 10 defeat
plans in opposition to his own Every thing
abroad or at home is known to him Tar better
than any Of his predecessors knew them. Like
Pitt during his administration, he is master OF
all his agents; they never become his masters
by superior industry or watchfulness. The
morning dawn and the midnight lamp are sub
servient 10 his ends and aims. No man rises
earlier and retires later than the President Of
the United States. No sanctihed commentators
on Holv Writ was ever more persevering than
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS No one can cheat or
deceive him, for he knows more than those
round him. His Cabinet may advise him often,
but still seldom control him. He exacts much
and will Weld but little. He shrinks from no
responsibility and assumes no extraordinary
3rerogative. He lavishes nothing in fondness
and INDUCES in no provoking partialities. If
he does not, like some great politicians steal in
TO the affections of men, he perhaps does better
by securing the dictates of their understand
ings. If some prefer another, but few dare at.
tack him. Such man is not easily disposses-
srd when in power. Still, however, the end is
in doubt Mr.. Adams may, withou, using a
fable, be said 10 have sprung into power from
the brain of the people. General Jackson was
the creature, l mean uot to use the word in a
political sense, Of their admiration and affec-
lions. Judgmen, often outliyes both admira-
ton and affection, bu, while the heart is warm
it is likely TO guide or control the head Whe-
Their the General will live in the affections Of his
friends long enough for the next struggle may
to some BIZ problem. He will be injured by
middleton friends more than from decided en-
emies, in his arrangements for the struggle
His party now want concert and confidence in
each other, and they have as yet no vigorous
champions in the field in full armour for the
fight, every thing is now managed by them in
