John Randolph md his Cousins of BuckafgHa,r
This model of Repubcanisn, in an. English'
style coach drawn by four fine bays, and attended
by Juba and John, held forth in his usual STYLE at
last Buckingham Court, in a long harahgue'to his
admiring constituents. He must have iinHroysd

it was 100 delicate TO permit him TO travel few

dobed to gentleman present for a short sketch of
his address:
Mr. Randolph arrived at the Court House about
l o'clock in the evening, while the court was lily
scssion-as as il was asccrained he was there,
the court sent two Members of the Bar to inform,
him that they had adjourned, TO afford him OPP
portunity or addressing the people in the court
house In half an hour after his arrival, he went
up and took tho Judges seat, and after thanking
the Court and Tire two gentlemen for their polite
ness, he commenced by stating the duties the Rep
rCsentive owed TO his constituents and explaincdl
why it was nc withdrew from the canvass, If cam
it could be called after having offered his SER

MR.. RANDOLPH.

The laat Lynchburg Yirginian contains the heads
OF MIR. RandolPh's speech at Buckingham Court,
which we have transferred TO columns, as being
certainly amusing, and probably true, for they arc
characteristic. On the subsequent Monday, he at
tended Prince Edward Court, and held forth still
more cxtravagantly than at Charlotte and Bucking-
ham, and as we hear, inspiring more disgust than
admiration. If there be any gentleman who heard;

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. SnolDden-NumerouS petitions have been
presented to the House Of Representatives III
Congress, at the present session. That of the
Stockholders in the Alexandria Canal does not
appear among them. The deep concern and dis
pleasure expressed by the citizens Of Alexandria,
at the unnecessary and very improper delay in
offering their petition regarding this Canal two
Years since. it was expected would prevent ST.
milar procrastnaton in the present case; it seems
not to have yet had that effect. If the present
petition be withheld from Congress longer, such
mass of business will have precedence. as may,
almost certainly. prevent its being acted upon
this session; which will be just equal to its total
suppression. There is serious responsible ty
somewhere. regarding the tardy progress of this
important business of the Canal. in all parts con-
corning it. Will you, if ip your power, give
such information may give the stoe kholders
some knowledge of the state of their interests,
and remove, in some degree, the painful state of
suspense they are now placed in.
