assent tot justice and ~proprsty. And II any case ever

In following the ordinary custom on that occasion, still
placed his dismissal on the ground Of his default; and at
the came time that no inflicted the punishment which tho
law commanded, ho pointed out the aggravaiing circum-
stances which attended the offence, and marked them
with those strong terms OF reprobation which, a pure and
honorable mind would naturally feel, when il believed
that AN officer in our cherished Navy had stopped to be.
come q fraudulent pcculator.
We have now done with these Misrepresentation, and
shall wait to see what Is next TO be attempted. We may
be supposed to have given to IL more words than il meri
ell. II is possible that ne may have treated it more seri-
ously and fully than it deserved.-But we cannot shut our
eyes to the Tact, that there il a combined effort TO support
Randolph in the outrage he has %committed; and that eve.

public mind, and TO save him from the Just indignation Of

such means he has acquired much information.
