We relish the spirit which anmates the two fol-

A FEMALE PATRIOT
The reader no doubt recollects the article which
we lately re-published from the "Norfolk Beacon
commenting OF the auto-biogmphical sketch of Mr.
John Randolph. We attributed il ut the time, i'm our
own minds, 10 the pen of Mr.. Robert Saunders, Sen
OF Williamsburg, who was long the intimate friend
and near neighbor of the late Judge Tucker and
was besides acquainted with the character of every
person introduced into the sketch. We since I'M

Judge Tucker, renders it proper that something
should be said of Mrs. Tucker, lady not to be sur
passed by any, in all those qualities which render
the female character so excellent and lovely 1t
would be impossible to adduce stronger instance
of Mr. Randoph's obliguty in estimating character
than his believing possible to place this lady i'm
any position, in which the brilliant lustre of her cha
racter could not pierce any shade he could cast over
it, and shew il, as it is and was, pure and spot
less"
