Sir, let me be misunderstood. J am stating
historic fact; Mr.. Randolphs hostility to the then
administrations not my opinion of that war; or of
his opposition t. II. Had been here at that time,
might nave joined in that opposition; for the Repre-
sentatves from Rhode Island both opposed these
resolutions nor do recollcct that tho people of that
State ever censured them for that opposition We
might go through the Whole congressional record
and we should find Mr. Randolph. ut all SUBSEQUENT

the character of this man? He knew them we'll -

earth could be more hostile to military men than this
same Mr. John Randolph. In conf nation OF thus

hero, or siatesman but as the only instrument by
which he could exclude Mr. Adams from second
