Fsifo,c- Cisi-ens!-l invite you TO join " 18th me
in offering thanks to tina. faithful Pu5lc Servant
John Randolph Of Roanoke.-lt is the duty of ev.
cry disin,erescd Citizen to pray that his days may
be heightened, aud that he may once more be en-
abed to appear in the Capitol Of the Union. The
voice OF opposition has been sounded at Washing
ton by the late Secretary; his ambition pricks him
on to the long aud distant object Of his sleepess
exertions; and il becomes US once more to call to
our aid that distinguished Orator, whose spirit has
so recently protected the People from the hands Of
governmental Usurpers-ls il necessary also to
remind you, that the next Session Of Congress
presents most important epoch in the annals Of
government, that then il is To be brought 10 issue,
whether we and our children's children are for
ever to be saddled with unnatural, oppressive
and unconstitutional Tariff or whether it is 10 be
so modified as to conform the interests OF our peo-
pie and the necessities of our Treasury; that the
time Is at hand, when we must fix, ii ever the
true Interpretation OF the Constitu ion, and STAY
the gigantic march Of Encroachment Let us al
so recollect, that the next session of Congress
will he the important moment for realising that
great system Of Reform, which the friends of
Jackson have demanded, and which the public

This, then, is the most ina,ispicious time in the
world for John Randolph to retire. As for myse f,
who never exchanged word with him in my life,
and can have no lot or part in his election, l can
do nothing more than to thank him for the past,
and invite your OF the future The power is

Eiec, John RandOlph-Thus, you will sacrifice all
the scruples he may feel about representing YOU
in his infrm health-You will prove to him, that
you are willing 10 take him /" FOR better or for

place, you are prepared to ask his aid, only when
he can give it.-once more, fellow citizens, the

A CITIZEN OF VIRGINIA.
The U. S. Telegraph clears up al esuivoque
IN Mr.. Ballw;n's Card OF the 9th March-Mr
b. intiinated Ina, he was invited to Washington
to take Office from the Presidents; and adds tina,
che never made me any pledge or promise, which
he has not offered to redeem in manner perfect
iy satisfactory, had not the situation in which cir
cumstances placed me, prevented their accep-
lance But Mr.. b. does not specify the time at
which this invitation was given; and hence che
Coalitionists have inferred, that Gen J. had made
pledge to Mr.. b., before the election, sc. &c.
&c.-Now, the Telegraph assures US, that il was
lately o1' his trdy tothe City, he 'saw MIR. b. and
invited him to Washington. What reason the
Telegraph has for saying, that it was " after con-
suiting soifh Mr.. Clay. that Mr.. B. refuses
and now Mr. Clay's affiliated presses ex claim-
bargain bargain - we know not-But we
shouid suspect there some mistake about il;
Tor, we cannot suppose MIR. b. to be destitute of
common sense, as to think of" driving d bargain
and linking his own destiny with the fortunes

HISTORICAL MEMOIR.
We have robbed our Convention Commupica.
tiohs, Legislative Speeches, and current News of
ttnh 20 l.. 4. r.
the very interesting Memoir of Al. b. Marbois,
upon the course pursued in the negotiation for the
acquisition OF Louisiana. The author was the Ne
gotiator on the part Of Napoeon; and he lifts the
veil from many circumstances which were before
utterly unknown, and others, about which there
had been much doubt and disputation. We have
not, Tor long time, read paper, which contains
more interesting information.-It shows us how
anxious Bonapare was TO transfer Louisiana to the
u. s., before Air. Monroe arrived in Paris-what
were the motives of his policy, as well az the
amount OF the price which he desired to OBJ
tain, and the nature OF the conditions which
were introduced into the Ccnvention.-There
is scarcely any thing which fell from the
mind OF that extraordiniry man, which is dcs-
titute OF interest-and the views, which he pre-
sented OF the probable destiny Of the Union OF
these States is not unworthy of being weighed by
those who frame our laws, and the citizens on
whom they are to operate. May Bonaparte's fore
boiling never be fulflled-and our Union be per-
petual!
TOASTS.-The following toasts, having point
IN them, were given at one OF the Inauguration
festivals at Boston:
