his prejudice in moral point OF view.
The Chief Justice enquired if his report was
for the benefit of those editors; and, being an

GENTLY appeared, BY the documents submitted
that the reporter was not morally cu pable Tor the
publication; but that the editors, having violated
the pledge solemnIy given by them through their

their reporter could not be- allowed further seat
in court. This decision, however, he remarked

JOHN RANDOLPH OF ROANOKE.

The world teens with anecdotes OF this extra.
ordinary man. His eccentric life was doubtless
owing to phy steal conformation which favourec,
if il did not originate, all the pecuiarites which
distinguished it. His extreme nervous sensibli-
~ made him irritable. His command over Ian
guage, together with his vast requirements. in
spired him with a fearIessness which excited him
to measure Wit and eloquence with the mishtiest.
His voice, person, modes OF thought and express
SION, commanded all eyes, aud all ears. No
thing could ever conquer his prejudices. These
were so deeply rooted against the illustrions
President Adams, as to outlive that great man;
and rather than part with them, they were trans.
ferred in all their bitterness. to hts son, OF whom
he never spoke ~thout designating hun John
the and" Messrs. Macon and Stanford. OF
North Carolina, were the two members OF Con
gress for whom his attachments knew no change.
But the liberties he took with both, were such
as the master takes with his spaniel. 1t was not
safe 10 be on terms Of friendship with Mr.. Ran
doph. He would say what he pleased, and when
he pleased.

House of Representatives, John 6 Jackson, OF
