ticles before our readers. The election of Mr.
Randolph u, we presume, unquestioned-- but as
we cannot consent to lose tw such beautiful pro

our readers that they may participate in The sat

Randolph have found him opponent In de
SPAR OF eecting friend of the administrations dis
appointed IN their efforts 10 induce any honorable
man TO permit hiE.e elf to be made their ca,s-paw

will. Is il for love of him? Believe it moi! Is
1t because they hope that the kindred blood which
he has TO one OF the Secretaries, will his heart

brother against brother-trusts indeed much:
but they know full well, that, in this Republic,
the feelings of The friend disturb not the purpose

wrong is not the motto Of our srmorial coat
Why, then have they selected him? Because
they believe him most likely TO be successful
against the hated Randolph; name AZ which

Can you not tell the wounded pidgeons by their

Indecent and indscreet his sninladversions upon
Mr.. Randolph. | shall leave TO time 10 disclose
70 him how II has happened, " unsccountsbly, -
that MIR. Randolph has acquired the reputation Of
being an orator; how it has &" unaccountably''
come to pass that ssges, and senstes, and admring
crowds have hung upon bis lips in mute attention;
now 1t is, that the tbronging members Of the lower
