A correspondent of the New York Statesman,
gives TIE following graphic sketch Of the Hon. John
Randolph in late debate:---
-' He was quite Hat when he began, but
his ambition increased as he proceeded His spr-
its rose, as he poured liquid down-ior he was arm
ed with two tumblers Of drink, which the boy re-
penished as fast as emptied. 1t would be IN vain
to attempt any thing like correct description OF his
medley, the like of which, presume, was never be-
fore heard on the floor Of congress- tie spoke OF
all things--of every body-and on every subject
ofwhen he little boy-the firsttime ne ever went
to court to choose his guardian 1t was an election
day-He remembered the candidates. lie spoke
of his poverty, of reputation, collins to bury people
in. of toys for children.-He eulogzed and abused
Chief Justice Marshall, poets, bishops, mobiles, and
crowned heads He deprecated the day when the
Ancient Dominion consented to receive the federal
constitution, how she had once ruled the union, bul
that now the sceptre had departed never to return
And then he seemed to weep, and fear, and stamp.
He abused the President, the elder Adams ;ln tine
every thing He cast his eye on honest Kremer
while he was speaking, and pointing to him very sig
niicanty, said, I'VE had twelve years agoan hon
est blacksmith from New-York aud we have ano-
ther from Pennsylvania" This compliment pleas
ed the latter wonderfully, for he returned a most
CHASTITY smile, which reminded me Of the descrlp
ton which have seen some where, Of an Opposum
eating crab-apples, as the compliment was both sour
aud sweet"

IN adebate in the Senate of the United States, in
the year 1907, John Quincy Adams was violently
assailed, during his absence, by Mr. Pickering.
William b. Giles, then Senator, and now Govern
or of Virginia, in reply to Mr.. Pickering's speech,
spoke as follows:
81 had hoped, Mr.. President, that the gentleman,
mr. Pickering) would have so far restrained his
feelings, as to have permitted this gentlemans
tirement, (Mr. Adams) to have shielded him from
these unmerted reprOaches but it seems that NJ
lelicacy OF situation can procure exemption from
the genteman's passions. This cruel attack has
imposed upon me an indispensable obligation to de-
fend this absent gentleman and it has been prlnci
-pally this circumstance which has driven me again
most reluctantly. into this debate Sir can attest

Which vernal Zephyrs breathe in Evenings ear,
Were dscord 10 the speaking quletude
That wraps this moveless Heavens ebon vault
Studded with stars unutterably bright,
Through which the moons unclouded grandeur rolls,
Seems like canopy which Love had spread
To curtain her sleeping world Yon gentle hills,
ROBBED in a garment of untrodden snow;
Yon darksome walls, whence cices depend
So stainless, that their white and glitterng spears
Tinge not the moons pure beam; yon castled steep,
Whose banner hangeth DER the tme-worn tower
So idly that wrapt Fancy deemeth it
metaphor of Peace,-all form
Where musng Solitude might love to lift
Her soul above this sphere of earthlness;
Where Silence, undsurbed, might watch alone
So cold, so bright, so still! Shelley.
