visit to President Jackson, ONCE his idol.
MrRandolph went to Washington a.
vowedly to- see and treason together with
General Jackson, on the subject OF MS
i'll starred Proclamation. He thought
from his service to the candidate,and his
reputation as the Chief oil the Old RePu-
blican Party, that he might be able to pro-
cure from the President some modlhca-'
ton, some mitigation, Of the despotlc
doctrines Of that State paper, or rather
that Imperial Rescript:S He went, ne
saw, but he did not conquer. lie con
versed freely with the President. He|
pointed out his alterations from lhe{
! faith, and incompatibility OF his new no
tons of federal supremacy, with thel
tcnets which he had protested, and which
had leagned the Southern States IN MS
support. He warned him OF the conse-
uuences to himself, and OF the yawning
gulph into which he was rreclpltatlng
the doctrines Of '98. and with them the
liberties of the Southern States. Mr'
Randolph made powerful impression,
and battered himelf with triumphant
success and he would have probably sue
ceeded, but that his efforts were contlnu-

had oonc too far to recede. To retreat
would have forfeited his new and glgan-
tic Northern popularity, acquired by
the Proclamation, and be equivalent to
an admission, that ne had taken the most
important Of steps, in ignorance OF the
PRINCIPLES he had advanced, or so light
, jv as afterwards to be under the necessity
Of disavowing them. This was the source
of Mr.. Randolph's failure. we have
heard and believe, that his visit to Wash
ington had this object, and this result
