Mr. Randolphs Religion. The anecdotes re-.
lated BY Mr.. Ranjolph's fellow. passenger, (in
Yesterdays Whig,) will recall recollection Of
his mutations and fluctuations on the subject oil
Religion, on which more perhaps, than upon any
other topic politics not excepted, his eccentrici-
~ displayed ITSELF As this gentleman relates,
Mr.. Randolph, at one time, certainly conceived
himself converted, in that sense Of the word
which recognizes spiritual contact with the Holy
Ghost; and this belief exhibited itself in various
ways, particularly in preaching to his slaves, &c.
who were regularly assembled, according to re.
port at the time,) for family worship.
But there is reason to believe that Mr.. Ran
dolph's conceit of conversion was Of short du.
ration, and that his mind relapsed. with the re.
storaton Of his nervous system to health, into the
mere speculative belief Of the truths Of Christian.
ity, and into that indifference occasionally ap.
preaching to infidelity, which characteristics most
men Of the world. For religion. where he belle.
we'd its profession sincere, and where II produced
good fruit, Mr.. Randolph is ever said to have felt
the highest reverence; for those whom he suspect.
ed Of assuming its holy garb to mask worldly
and interested views, he held in reserve his keen.
est lash, and TO Sac end Of his life. land remark
ably in his last speeches at Charlotte and Peters
burg laid it on with merciless hand. In the
general, he was averse to the whole forcing and
stimulating system-for converting the Jew and
Heather. Bible Societies, for educating pious
young men, &c. &c.-which, with some want OF
chary,h he apt to suspect were got up to assist
in the great end Of enabling one class to live
without work, and at the expense Of others
This belief was Mr.. Randolph's misfortune, be-
ing sincere in it, and no crime. Mr.. Randolph's
mind, it may be said, was little affected by the
terrific denuncia:ions which sometimes accompa-
nv the preaching Of tae Gospel. He certainly
viewed death, and what is to follow death, with
the most phosophc equauimity, as his deport'
ment, when he was conscious Of its near ap.
proach, plainly discovered. What sectarian
faith Mr.. r. held, we presume is unknown to all
Most probably he regarded them all as Equally
right. His family was Episcopal, and therefore
he desired that service to be read over his re.
mains. Richmond Wmg.
