CURED with him respecting Mr.. r. being caudi5ate,

have joined him heart-no, no-hand In hand in his
political crusade in defiance OF all the modem rules Of

for violation of the same, and by go doing they de-
clare Mr.. BIS feelings. and the moral feelngs OF the

Leigh the friend and Ggeut of Mr. Randolph did not

that Is, to decline a reelection TO Congress Yes
Messrs. Editors, of the very pereons who in Ia

date, aud who in February, affected to ,aice when

cause they say, Judge Boudin was not asked by Mr.
Leigh to withdraw, previous to announcing Mr.. RAN
do!ph!! 50 you see that what me at for ,hi, let
writer and his friend and ccadutors is poison for
Messrs. Leigh and Randolph.
1t is true that some very honest but credulous me
suspect those gentlemen of acting from different mo.
hves. Some think their opposition is intended niure
MIR. Leigh only, and TO benefit themselves or their
friends, in run with Lei IN for Judge. shin Some
think one thing, and soue another. But if | NAV
venture to give my humble opinion, Wi hont tending
offence 10 any one, il is that their oppo.iiion sprpg.
from recollection of the unmsrcul castig atoms given
| by MIR. Randolph, TO OF their best and dearest
friends. L have no doubt, that when Dr. Stop was
cuTsing Obadiah at such terrible rate for tyipg so
many knots around his bags, that Uncle Toby's exla
nation, when the Doctor cursed Obadiah in the groin
was the effect OF as acute pain in that part as he fell
when he received his wound at The battle in Flanders
lust so it is with lhese gentlemen. Only bring them
to believe that Mr. Randolph has attacked or that he
will attack, any man whom they do not dislike and the
recollection OF past events springs iuo their minds and
produces the same stna'ion in them, that nv Uncle
Toby experienced, when the Doctor cur ed OBADIAH in
the groin. That you may know The wounded pigeon,
| by their fiutteriug, lie just true "a what is one
mans meat is another mans poison. 81 at I act think
